Computer scientists from Georgia Tech and UC Irvine produced an academic paper where, in the course of investigating the privacy and security of age verification platforms, Firefox's developer tools (F12) were used to deobfuscate some Javascript code related to the age verification company Yoti.

Yoti's CEO made a blog post requesting a retraction and public apology, particularly surrounding an article Georgia Tech published that summarizes the paper and makes the claim in its tagline that Yoti collects and shares facial photos with third parties. I'm not sure that claim was in the original paper or its findings, based on a few rereads. Spain had fined Yoti about $1m USD a few months earlier for three GDPR violations.

I developed my taste in PC games before I had a graphics card, so...

• Baba Is You, a minimalist puzzle game with a Portal's worth of perception bending
• Hypnospace Outlaw, a story-driven 90's-styled computer/internet simulator with a shocking amount of good diegetic indie music. Like, more than one entire album.
• Celeste

I've already played these games to death and back so I haven't really been playing them in the present tense

Watch silent films and marvel at the theatery exaggerated acting. You can talk over silent films much easier and they demand less attention from the viewer. Some have their own scores attached to them so you aren't just hearing silence or someone's classical music playlist. Many are public domain and trivial to find online. Success scales with your interest in film criticism and how much you can tolerate thinking about a pretty messed-up period of history while blazed.

Also try SomaFM for picking a music vibe. It's donation-supported and ad-free, and a nice way to come across new artists.

Some quick extra bullet points as I'm short on time and much of what I want to say has already been said in this thread:

• I strongly recommend Behind the Bastards' 2-parter on fake autism cures (huge trigger warning for child abuse though), and just as strongly Rowan Ellis' video essay on autism representation. Both could be listened to during chores or work. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WA9B4_e6sS0
• If you're making an intentional, good-faith effort to be kind and curious, then as an autistic person I deeply appreciate your showing up, and please don't let the downvotes make you any less curious.

It looks like Perchance doesn't support multi-line comments, based on the basic and advanced tutorials, and that enclosing multiple lines in /* and */ doesn't work.

It depends on the region and culture you were born into, but I'm gonna have to lean toward no since I can't personally find any evidence that any other person has ever had this name. It'd make it hard to find shirts and stuff that already have your name printed on them

Usually for the same reasons you'd get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.

I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.

I'm crying again now thanks

• You can derive numerical values from words using a letter-number pairing like "A=1, B=2 (...)". This kind of number-letter pairing is called "Gematria".
• Adding the numerical values of the seven Hebrew words in the first verse of Genesis gives you a number
• Multiplying these seven values together instead and then adding up each group of three digits in the result gives you the same number as before

In the last 48 hours they've only posted on their Facebook about how they helped get Trump elected and criticized (insulted) a study that examines "the relationship between community-level firearm violence and dental health". They seem pretty unconcerned

When you make this kind of comment it really just adds to the reasons to not use the nostupidquestions and ELI5 communities on this platform. There needs to be safe spaces to admit to being biased and uninformed and to ask people to help you out of it without being berated.
