Oh, I had no idea that Alexandrite could pop the comment section out on the side of the main feed, so you don't have to leave the front page in order to read comments. That is amazing, I've been wanting that ever since moving to Lemmy.

Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows where players can destroy the contents of religious sites
I think that Firefox (and Firefox forks, like Zen Browser) have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue may just kill support for Firefox if Firefox does permit ad blocking
An argument could also be made that Firefox and its forks have low-enough marketshare that websites that depend on ad revenue won't want to deal with the extra work of keeping those users out.
If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows.
I think they're referring to this post that OP made 3 days ago: i took an iq test and it was nice and i took my time doing it but the answer was 86, is that bad??
There's currently 38 comments in that thread, and only 2 of them are from OP, at the time of me writing this comment here.
If someone were to ask you for a sign you aren't an AI, what would be the first thing about you or your existence/life that you'd cite or point to?
Oiligarchy: Play as an Oil Oligarch that puts profit above all else, fund coups in other countries, assassinate protestors, and fund political parties to ensure they remain under your boot
Yeah, unfortunately it seems like the dev only has 2 games available on Steam currently. Democratic Socialism Simulator which is 2.39€ and Green New Deal Simulator, which is free. That last one looks like the other side of Oligarchy!

And now I'm off to look at all the other games available there!
In the same vein, with my family I've been using the analogy of "Imagine that all law enforcement had a key to your home, and they could enter at any time and look through your things, but you wouldn't even know it if they did, or if they took photos or recorded videos of your place to take with them. Their argument is that the only way to keep you and your stuff safe from the bad guys is for the good guys to have access. But because the good guys now have access, it's also easier for the bad guys to get in, because now there's all these extra keys to your home out there, which might fall into the hands of the bad guys."
Not a perfect analogy, but it seems to make them consider the issue from a more personal angle. And for those that argue, "Well, I don't have anything to hide.", I usually counter with "Then why do you close your curtains/blinds when you change your clothes or get out of the shower?" With my dad who grew up during the World War II, it also helped to mention that a law like this, once on the books, will not be easy to overturn, and while he might be fine with our current regime having access to all his data, that might not be the case with future authorities.

I also completely misunderstood the article's title at first, "Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows"
I thought he was loving it.
