So this would work with facial recognition and sharing the complete school database with the manufacturer, in this case meta, including attendance and any learning disabilities?

It does sound convenient but the privacy trade-off is never worth it imo. None of these companies seem to be developing something that runs locally, they’re all about being “connected”.

    Something I struggle understanding is that it’s apparently quite “normal” to boo during an opera. Apparently it’s common to boo at a villain even when you enjoy the performance. It just seems rude to me.

    Also using grammatically correct bravo, brava, and bravi just comes off overly pretentious in non-Italian countries in performances done by non-Italians.

    Just another way to shove client side scanning down our throats. I hope apple and/or google calls them on their shit. There’s no way to reliably do this at this scale anyway. Laws can be challenged and the process could take years.

    If they actually cared about children’s safety they could start with making sure everyone has enough to eat.

    You already have. Shit like that drives conversion in the short term but it sacrifices usability and brand value. Managers love this shit because they can tell the board they made sales go up x% and then they’re off to ruin another business.

    I’ll sink my teeth into this tomorrow. Good te hear the combat is nice. Grander space battles are a great addition in theory. New suit looks good too. Last update wasn’t really for me, but who’s complaining.

    This post is in no way meant to complain about all the amazing content that was added to this game after release. That being said one "complaint" heard about the game is that a lot of the content feels added on and there doesn't seem to be one overarching mechanic or one cohesive grand design. Xeno Arena being a prime example. It's a criticism that I can relate to but it hasn't stopped my from putting in >170 hours.

    I thought it could be fun to fantasise about ways to "fix" this. For instance one idea I had that would be relatively easy to implement is some sort of automated trade routes. You could tie together bases, settlements, settlement buildings and level, standing, capital spaceships (level), frigate expeditions, squadrons, maybe even some exclusive routes from community events. Rewards could include freighter upgrade/storage modules, the only sort of rare "loot" left in the game, or "exclusive" corvette parts or maybe even quicksilver or nanites.
