Morbid curiosity piqued, has a person ever been spaced? (Not just vacuumed)

How come you are so awesome?

While I don’t use a Samsung, I am over half way through my phones fifth year. Other than a battery replacement I’ve had literally no problems whatsoever.

If only lifespan and right to repair were written into law everywhere.

You can modify exif data easily, but yea I think this could be verified in a myriad of ways to legitimize the photo.

As someone with immunocompromised family members this is great. I suspect this would be like an air quality alert in your area.

I imagine a text message could be available for your airport letting you know that Covid levels are high, allowing you to reschedule your flight or change your plans.

I can’t speak to that specific repack.

But I can tell you that I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy on my steam deck since late February.

What’s the playtime on this bad boy?

If post views are public that’s a fairly poor implementation on the developers part. I’m sure it will change over time.

E.g. someone using your account to view illegal content in a community you are not a member of, and you being held accountable.

Not too bad then, at that point it just depends how they handle log storage on the instance you are visiting.

Thanks for clarifying.

I was just providing a scenario that came to mind. I am sure many exist outside the one I described.

Nobody has mentioned crime, so I am not sure where that came from. Accountability can come in many forms, and often on the internet users will be banned or excluded based on their direct actions. However, if views were public, it would be trivial to setup a bot to autoban users from communities before they even join, based solely on what they’ve seen.

You’re reading too much into my comment.

I am a software engineer, and am always thinking of user experiences in my day job. This is simply the scenario that popped into my mind, but many do exist.

Besides hacking, phishing scams, and pranks. Users trick others all the time into viewing content they didn’t mean to view.

My concern isn’t so much that this can happen at all, but rather that if views were public, how it’d be trivial to write software that auto bans users based on those views. Without great moderation tools, and petitioning it wouldn’t scale well.

As I’ve explained elsewhere, this is just what popped into my mind.

Many scenarios exist where you view content you did not intend on viewing.

For example, have you ever been Rick Rolled?
