definitely malware browser plugins

It’s only one, and browser extensions are trivially easy to “decompile” since they’re not distributed compiled in the first place. The extensions are just zips or rars of the source code and metadata.

Not everyone buys a separate device for their children or knows how to/can set up a user account.

Yeah, but it’s not gonna kill things off either.

well i can’t be fucked to point it out!

It’s those under 13 required to be deleted, those under 16 just purchases restricted. And even if they were banned, that doesn’t mean they won’t come the moment they turn 16 either.

Some ancient internet slang you’ve got there.

While other new students fretted over the university’s rigorous core curriculum, described by the school as “intellectually expansive” and “personally transformative,” Lee used AI to breeze through with minimal effort.

Lee goes on to claim everyone cheats. (He’s also that AI Amazon Leetcode interview person.)

Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.

Well duh, what other kind of people would he know.

Yeah, I understand. 🤗

Have you paid for things on mobile in-app? The operating system stores your info behind a password (or biometric) because adults (non-gambling as well) also hate having to memorize 16 digits flawlessly every time they needed to make payments.

When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”

it’s been heading in the opposite direction, fortunately, if collegeboard is to be representative

The settlement—negotiations finished January 17, 2025—was before Trump’s inauguration and the illegal firings.

Those were actually two of the four I checked out. That’s underwear‽ Didn’t realize that. That looks so itchy and bumpy on the skin… And that would indeed be sexualization IMO.

But if that wasn’t exposed underwear, I really don’t see that any more sexualized than https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Duan_Qun_Miao_women_from_a_One_Hundred_Miao_Pictures_album,_pre-1912.gif, which depicts one of the traditional outfits of the Miao shortskirt people. Not saying that this is what you usually find in Asia either, but I find the third person from the left conventionally attractive and not sexualized saved for exposing the breastbones, and perhaps her midriff is a little large.

exposed midriffs

While checking out the four I also checked what body type the male protagonist was. He also has exposed midriffs and I never noticed that while playing as him when I did a few years ago.

https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Short_Female_Characters I clicked on 4 among the grand total of 10 characters of this type and don’t see what you mean. Do you mean that the miniskirts are supposed to be sexy or something? …I don’t really see it. Maybe it’s a cultural thing where as an Asian I don’t find that sexy?

A settlement with the FTC is not some “made up deadline” Hoyo can change.

No laws against that (lootboxing), yet, and I doubt EA doesn’t have their lobbyists against such laws if enacted. It’s also something that has existed so long as to become a cornerstone of mobile gaming… well, a cornerstone outside of the stupid Voodoo dot-io kind, anyways. While extremely unethical IMO I wouldn’t call it any more deceptive than any regular casino, that is.

I don’t understand what you mean. They’re clearly requesting ages over 13 and disabling purchases for those under 16.

This appears to be a direct consequence of a recent settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which had charged HoYoverse with deceiving minors into spending for their loot boxes. The Chinese developer was subsequently banned from selling them to users under 16 without a parent’s express consent, paid a $20 million fine to the FTC, and was also subject to the following stipulations:

• Prohibited from selling loot boxes using virtual currency without providing an option for consumers to purchase them directly with real money;
• Prohibited from misrepresenting loot box odds, prices and features;
• Required to disclose loot box odds and exchange rates for multi-tiered virtual currency;
• Required to delete any personal information previously collected from children under 13 unless they obtain parental consent to retain such data; and
• Required to comply with COPPA, including its notice and consent requirements.
