We finally blocked Roblox entirely in our house because it was making our kids assholes. All the little “safe” user-created minigames like Steal a Brainrot were having a pretty big effect on their behavior and things that they concerned themselves about. They would get into fights about whether or not one of them had a generator that could net them absurd, meaningless values like $1.7T/s and then take those arguments offline and still argue about whose Steal a Brainrot base was better. Or whatever.

We watched an interview with the CEO of Roblox stomping on rake after rake after rake. He seemed mostly attuned to the growth of the platform and did not seem like safety was a really any sort of primary concern at all. He talked about things like this (continuuous facial recognition via the devices’s human facing camera) as if that would do anything to curb the behavior of adults abusing the platform. He seemed to be saying that What else would you get but safety with changes like this? I decided that I do not like that guy in particular and I don’t like his product either and my kids can have it back after they have defeated me and can figure out how the pi-hole works.

Boy I did not see this coming. Surely he won’t pull some other kind of un-American shit that benefits Russia and nobody else because that would be UNHINGED which naturally calls for a SLAM from some toothless leader/group after which he/Miller will be described as MELTING DOWN so I should subjectively FEEL BETTER and believe that he is not REWRITING THE BOUNDARIES OF REALITY somehow

I know that a fairly large B2B Ecommerce platform called OroCommerce just moved all their customers’ cloud hosting to Oracle. I doubt that would have all of a sudden made Larry Ellison the richest guy in the whole world, but it is something that happened recently. I sure don’t hear a lot of people saying LETS USE ORACLE otherwise these days.

Now I gotta get me a bigger truck that ain’t got no ads

Chaos, destruction. He’s one who wants to watch it burn.

Thanks for sharing this. I have been using Authelia to provide forward auth in a Traefik cluster and have not ever really gotten OIDC to work yet. It’s kind of just a little hobby project but I’d like to know how to do it.
