  • But then how can we monitize our gamers if we can’t run at the kernel level and do whatever we want?

    We’re selling games at an overpriced rate and putting tons of gambling and Mtx in our games. But this is unsustainable. We’ll go bankrupt at this rate! Just last week we had a meeting with the CEO complaining he couldn’t buy his fifth luxury boat because he had spent that years bonus on his 2nd aircraft.

    You’re legally required to help, not risk your own life while doing so. If somebody is drowning you need to call the emergency services and if there is a rescue buoy close by you can throw that as well and try to pull them to shore that way.

    I am not a lawyer, but I think in the majority of cases you should be covered by calling the emergency services.

    As a side note: unless you’re a lifeguard or have had proper training, jumping in to save somebody drowning is dangerous. A person drowning will try to hold on to anything to stay afloat and will likely try to push you under trying to stay above water.






  • In many places WhatsApp is the defacto standard unfortunately…

    If its not that its something like Viber, or badoo or telegram or some other nightmare service…

    If you have kids there is also not really getting away from it. Friends of mine have never had Facebook accounts until they had kids because the local football team or boyscout or whatever only uses Facebook to communicate…

    I agree you can live your life comfortably without meta services, but sometimes, like in the example above, you dont have any alternatives…

    You can’t keep harassing other parents to forward you messages or ask the team to print any messages specifically for you. Not having a Facebook account just gets “its easy to create” responses rather than “completely understandable, here’s our private matrix server to stay in the loop”.
