You are exactly on point. We're being scared by innuendo, "It stands to reason", and "of course" with NO actual studies showing real harm. By now we should be seeing them popping up under every liter soda bottle floating in the ocean. "Ooooo, that's icky!" is not science. I want to see the, non-Fauci-ized, science.

How much are you paid to be this ignorant? I hope you're actually making money and not just another pawn.

This story is a repeat of tobacco industry or oil company playbooks. What you do, when you're paid enough, is cover up and run interference so that profits can continue as long as possible. We should be deeply invested in sustainable energy, but we're not because insanely greedy rich fucks who run oil companies can only be bothered to do what is best for them personally.

I could not imagine how far the USA has fallen, back in the 90s. The concentration of power and wealth has resulted in people living in a false reality. There is no *free press*, hardly any real journalism, just a lot of pandering bullshit which doesn't discuss the problems they're economically disincentivised from discussing.

"Next Gen consoles" are now a dead industry. Nobodies mom is buying them a $6000 Xbox for Christmas. Children have to make do with the scraps they can find. Low fi games that are fun are what matters. 5090 graphics do not matter because no one can afford those chips and they were removed from the market. It is truly a different era.

You're deluded if you don't see the deep cracks forming and the consequences of short-term profit obsession. For one thing, it has led to our political system being undermined by massive amounts of cash flowing to the least honest politicians. It has also led to massive underinvestment in causes that create long term stability, like renewable energy, other kinds of resource efficiency, results driven healthcare, quality of education, and so on.

There are many identifying features on a CPU even apart from the tpm. It's similar to the game websites play where they use the webgpu API to identify your specific video card and reduce the scope of who you could be dramatically. When you have kernel level access you can find out the baked in quality value (which determines voltage/frequency curve) for every CPU core. You can do similar stuff for the GPU, reference it against the whole hardware tree, firmware versions and so on. Riot knows who you are because they are indiscriminate in what they gather and so not care at all about privacy, violating it is part of their model.

You made the right move. Riot games thinks that watching what websites you access is useful data in identifying cheaters, and will hand it over to palantir as a "partner" while boldly claiming they don't sell your data. They are a scumbag organization like so many others.

a lot of people say that, but then if you look at tinder, a great deal of the profiles say not into hookups, looking for dates.

in reality there are probably a huge number of men looking for random sex, and very few women, with very few actual 1st encounter hookups.
much like what ashleymadison turned out to be...
