  Source?

  In my country euthanasia has to be required by the person wanting to ending. Nor the government nor any other person or organization can ask for this procedure to be done to an unwilling person.

  The person has to require twice, and be evaluated by a comitee of medical doctors to ensure that it has a chronic disease that could not be cured and that it’s causing ongoing pain that would not get better with medication.

  www.sanidad.gob.es/gabinete/notasPrensa.do?id=682…

  Statistics on it doesn’t point to it being “targeted to anyone”. More so, there are many people who ask for it and cannot get it in time and die of natural causes before the procedure could be done.

  Euthanasia is already legal in some countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently went on a hunt for a cheap good offbrand controller. I bought several from gamesir 8bitdo and easysmx, and ended up landing on the gamesir cyclone 2. It’s quite good, though not perfect, because the ergonomics are not 100% my style, but it was my best option overall. I think it was like 50€.

  Before that I was using the 30€ range controllers from easysmx and for their price they were good but only lasted a couple of years because stick drift.

  I tried 8bitdo because everyone talked so good of them, but I didn’t like the ergonomics, that’s 100% personal though, the controller itself was good.

  I also read about the Vader 4 controllers, which has good reviews but never tried it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Uploads Steam Controller Unboxing Video, Launch Imminent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I fear the price will put it out of my budget for controllers.

  Usually I buy my controllers at around 30-50€

  This, I fear would go well over double the higher end of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I almost never see people flying drones?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I live, europe, while not strictly illegal is so restricted and you have to ask for so many permissions to fly a small drone that’s not worth it.

  People wanting to fly one would just go to some remote place on the countryside where no one would see you.

  I made a little game 3 years ago. I’m still it’s only player as it isn’t even published anywhere. But I enjoy it.

  I have future publishing plans but well knowing that the total number of players is unlikely to change.

  The thing with indie dev is that you really should do it because you love the craft. Because realistically speaking, if you look the numbers, having expectations about many people playing your game (don’t even talk about paying for it) could lead to a big disappointment.

  You do you. I’ve been decades doing political activism. I just advice to keep expectations checked because I’ve seen so many people burning themselves out of not being able to achieve unrealistic political goals, and, what’s worse, ending up picking on small innocent people because they are the only ones they can impose their will on.

  It’s good to keep making people conscious of the dangers of AI. But knowing what is expected, for yourself, and trying not to target people won’t deserve being targeted our of misdirected anger.

  My best approach is taking a constructive approach. Do something by hand myself and enjoying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After GOTY pull, Clair Obscur devs draw line in sand: 'Everything will be made by humans by us'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good to have morals, but also to have realistic expectations.

  We haven’t been able to stop dlc, micro transaction, gambling… I don’t think we would be able to stop AI in videogames.

  I have the suspicion that all these quick and fast remakes in HD are pulling AI assets as crazy to be able to have results quickly and cheap.

  Going too hard ln these devs, which doesn’t seem like bad people won’t ever change what EA. Ubisoft, Nintendo or any big player will do. It would only hurt this small studio for nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing is that it’s kind of voluntary. Game developers could have use AI to develop the game and if they wouldn’t want to disclose it no one would know.

  Unless the use of AI is the very crappy “AI art” that’s easy to notice the rest of uses would be very hard or actually impossible to figure it out to audit the legitimacy of the tag.

  And this will end like r/art where the mods deleted a post accusing the artist of using AI when it was not AI and the final mod answer was “change your art style so it doesn’t look like AI”. A brutal witch-hunt in the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible with certificates and 2fa issued by a government, which already have all your data, that would only verify that you are over 18.

  We already have that in Spain, sort of. We have a government app where you have a digital id stored and you can make it create a verify qr that only shows if the user is over 18 or under 18, no more data. The qr only last 5 minutes active.

  It is necessary? Not for internet access. That’s a duty of the one paying for internet in the household, not the government.

  I walk by some neighborhood bars, that are cheap and still some people go everyday like the Simpsons.

  Videogames are better. I’ve come to recognize some of the “local drunks” that are there every day, they do be like Barney from the Simpsons. It seems a little depressing looking at them destroying themselves with booze.

  It’s better than no having anything to play.
