Wage theft

“Even one of the largest and most well funded game franchises in history did this”

Way before TikTok yeah. I remember almost the exact same headlines like 15 years ago in middle school.

I remember this being a thing before tik tok

This 100% comes down to funding and available talent on a regional level.

The “provided devices” is the important part of that sentence

My company exclusively deploys machines with physical coverings for the camera and hardware disconnects for the mics.

I agree on that point, nobody has the right to any information about me except for exactly what I choose for them to know. Speaking from an IT professional standpoint, if I deploy a device, I absolutely have the right to know anything that happens on that device. You have to from a security perspective.

That’s why I don’t use any social media on my work laptop. Ideally that’s why social media is blocked on work machines so it’s a non-issue. Kids should understand that concept early, you do have a right to privacy but you also don’t control that device.

We just fundamentally disagree on what rights someone is afforded on a company provided devices. They can’t opt out because obviously not, you don’t get to just opt out of information security policies.

It would be a different beast if the school didn’t allow you access coursework on a personal machine without installing their bullshit, thats a huge issue.

Sooo schools should just provide devices to kids with no monitoring at all?

There shouldn’t be an expectation of privacy on school/company provided devices, that isn’t how it works literally anywhere. It’s on the parents to teach their children not to use the device for personal reasons.

Ideally the school machines should be limited to only allowing coursework and limited messaging between classmates and teachers, it’s a tool not a toy.

Idk I just can’t get upset about this. Kids and privacy is kind of a tough one to begin with, I personally think kids shouldn’t have unregulated access to communication devices at all until like 14-15, maybe.

Don’t put personal shit on work devices. This is pretty basic.

Seconding banished, it’s great with mods

Are you intellectually capable of seeing literally anything without complaining about Zionists? Like, anything at all? Every single comment you post is the same shit, we get it, be quiet.

Literally the only thing this guy posts is “but whatabout zionists”

Endlessly, no matter how irrelevant

Well did you find out?

Watch, educate, vote and if all else fails, leave

No, it’s a $30 indie game.

Each expansion more or less adds extensions to the game the fundamentally expand on the mechanics and systems within the games. I’m okay paying for that, personally.

Meh. They charge for DLC, the DLC is optional and adds a lot of depth to the game, it’s a small studio…

I’ll take it

X4 foundations and relevant DLC. I have multiple saves with over a year worth of playtime

You don’t have kids huh?
