the law wont save you. laws will prevent no one from doing this, just like outlawing encryption couldn't prevent decentralized encrypted messengers from being used.

An illegal actor could still comb the internet and create a private face recognition db, but they would be taking on risk, paying substantial infratstructure costs, would not be able to make it widely available for fear of being caught, and would have limited options for actually making any real money from it.

It would completely prevent say, your average stalker, or jilted ex, or non techy weirdo from.being able to access it, and it would prevent corporations from spending all their time building business around privacy invasion.

No, you can address this through laws and legislation. You literally just ban people from amassing personal information on other people like Europe is doing.

The combat is way too easy on normal difficulty

I played all the side quests and by like the halfway point, I took off all my armour and just beat every single enemy to death with my bare hands. I would definitely recommend a higher difficulty if you've played any rpgish games before.

Forge existed in Halo 5 too, and doesn't impact the campaign....

Yes they do, I've rewatched seasons 2-9 of the Simpsons about 25+ times, I've watched it's always sunny a similar amount, my dad has seen the movie Independence day about 300 times. Both of us play the same sport, which we've played most of our lives.

You quite frankly, don't know what happened and if you're confident it's intentional, all that says is that you're a grump who likes to complain.

That's easier said and done with movies and tv where the enjoyment isn't dependent on player base. For multiplayer games at a certain point you have often have to move to the newer versions.

Eh I don't think that's necessarily fair.

The best multiplayer in the series was Halo 5, which is also the farthest from the original in many ways. It just had a crappy story.

Then Halo Infinite was great, and extremely faithful to the original, but I would argue to a fault, as you could see them repeating the exact same story beats and moments rather than coming up with new ones.

The music was great, but the Puma (jeep), was also a huge part of it. The developers are on record talking about how they made the Puma, realized how fun it was, and then basically built the whole game around having fun moments with it.

No, it's not.

It's literally a concept no normie knows about nor would care about.

They are not trying to follow some tankie on a banned Marxist instance, they're trying to follow cute cat pictures on lemmy.world.

End of the day, just like with safe site filters etc, you'll end up with most instances following similar enough protocols and federating with each other and the vast majority of people seeing the vast majority of people, with some fringes blocked for some people.

I mean, you and him might be saying literally the same thing.

His point was that we can't hit our climate targets because society is not organized in a way that allows us to. Everyone reorganizing around their unquestioning allegiance to an AI overlord would change that though.

Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

It's both, and honestly a pretty genius move on the judge's part. "Oh you keep finding ways of leveraging this gate to uncompetitively make money, well how about I just mandate that you give access to both sides of the gate to everyone else."
