- Comment on The "Stop Killing Games" Australian Petition is Live 3 weeks ago:
Not really, it would simply push safer practice and encourage use of open source materials. It would also encourage a push for code standard development and higher quality legislation. If you’re going to reveal it, why even use proprietary code? The copywrite still applies in the cases of unauthorized use. Proprietary net code is just to obfuscate data mining and the extent to which security is breached. There’s too much profit in multiplayer games for companies to simply give up because they have to work data mining in from another vector.
- Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out?? 1 month ago:
Safe is relative. Do you go out right now? Do you trust your (assumed) covid vaccination to protect you?
Ask yourself what level of risk you’re willing to accept. “I need a vaccine to be widely adopted” or “i need to be more likely to die/have complications from X other thing”. Better yet, “If i get infected i’m this likely to spread the disease further”. Your risk tolerance is never zero and neither is your risk to others.
