multiple states and now countries have bills and/or laws that will be enforced soon that require the age and/or identity of the user. you’re lying to yourself if you believe steam won’t be directly impacted by that and will be forced to comply.


You litterally just claimed you don’t send user-agent strings to servers
can you quote where I said that, or are you just going to keep lying?


I’m just laughing at the reddit/Lemmy hivemind’s collective hallucination on this.
got it. the right to privacy is a joke to you.


and nothing of value was lost…


they’re trying to beat the age verification laws to market because they know afterwards will be a shit show.
they know customers won’t be spending money on hardware that is ID nerfed.
if valve gets the hardware to market now, along with the software it’s more likely that people will buy the hardware later and flash older firmware later that doesn’t require ID verification.


you have yet to deny you’re astroturfing…
but what wears down?
I ask because I have an umbrella that still works that was bought in 1983, and it still functions.
14001 Livernois, Detroit. technically highland park.
for real though… don’t go there. and whatever you do, don’t tell them Terri sent you.


never said I agree or disagree with you.
just pointed out you’re astroturfing.


I mean…yeah? wasn’t that their whole thing? they want games to play themselves to open a whole new market for “interactive film”.
excuse me…it “wears off”.
what are you talking about??


for anyone still on the fence if astroturfing bots are on lemmy.
exhibit A.


this is great, especially when our government starts tracking everything we do online.
great forward thinking if that was your intention.


I’ve been to some Wendy’s where for $100 they’ll lick it off and give you a handy.


I dip everything in that shit. my fries, my burger, my dick, my frosty. everything!


I think they’re referring to some early java applet clients that were popular back in the day. he might have telnet’d into the servers that the clients (which were hosted on geocities) would connect to.
only reason why I think that is because I did similar and even found a way to circumvent room bans using telnet 🤣.
In one server variant you could change your name to a mod after they left the room and have admin privileges in that room.
a particularly shitty mod at the time received my ire and I was able to ban them from their own rooms because the software only validated on the clients to not ban yourself 😈
man, I’ve always been an asshole.
hope that bitch finds how deep the bottom of that bottle is and drowns in it.
