My 11 year old brother had been using PopOS for a while. Unfortunately Roblox recently intentionally broke Wine support and I had to put Windows on his computer.

Roblox Is Being Sued By The State Of Louisiana

Roblox is the inevitable, capitalistic result of any game that targets or has a major audience of children while relying heavily on additional purchases (ro-bux or whatever in their case) to do fun things or be seen as cool, better etc. It’s very simple. Children do not have access to money in any meaningful amount as they are children. Thus they cannot afford these things. Children also have poor decision making, poor impulse control, are naive, and so on and so forth. Their brains are not fully developed. They take excess risks without thinking of consequences. They’re impulsive. So what are a bunch of impulsive, poor impulse control, dying to fit in, naive, poor decision making, kids who need money to do? They get it from pedophiles who flock there to exchange their adult money and use their adult mental faculties to exploit, groom, and pay kids the thing they desperately need (in-game currency) in exchange for sexual exploitation. This will never not be a problem. There are schemes for proving one is an adult with a state ID, face scans, AI comparisons, possession of a credit card, etc. There is no similar test or reliable way to authenticate a user as a guaranteed minor so you cannot keep adults out. You can totally kill all ability for player communication but that’s not profitable (and also wouldn’t stop a proliferation of third party sites enabling such “matchings” of kids who want money for robux with pedophiles). You could remove the in-game currency but that’s not profitable. You could do your utmost to get rid of kid players and never target them in the first-place but that’s not profitable. The only solution is banning games with this kind of economy entirely or making a rule that if they target kids as an audience or develop a meaningful audience of children they cannot provably get rid of they are subject to painful loss of money in the form of this kind of stuff being banned for them until that ceases being the case. But that’s not profitable. So, online ID laws for porn or accessing speech platforms online = not protecting kids. Banning predatory games that target and groom minors to need real money to be cool, progress, have fun, etc = protecting kids. Only the former is actually being widely implemented across the west.

Roblox data leak sees 4,000 developer profiles including identifying information made public

Troy Hunt, the engineer behind haveibeenpwned, said the leak was posted in 2021 but according to an unnamed source didn’t spread outside of niche Roblox communities, while at the time the company did not publicly disclose the leak or alert anyone affected. The leak then appeared on a public forum a few days ago. “Roblox has now contacted everyone affected," said the company in a statement sent to Hunt. >>> So they definitely knew about it, and definitely weren’t going to do anything about it, until it became more widely known. Yet another reason to hate this horrible, stupid company. I so wish I could convince my daughter to drop Roblox. I’ve even offered to pay for a private Minecraft server for her and all her friends.

China and games

So, what’s up with gaming in china? Like, why does China need its own edition of foreign games? What’s wrong with Chinese players get access to the rest of the world’s version of Minecraft or Roblox? Like why does ChinaBlox always add a parachute to ur player model when ever you fall over X amount of distance, and then puts up a message saying dOn’T dO tHiS iN rEaL lIfE. Yeah, people already get that. You don’t always need to hold the gamer’s hand. Also, Tencent is against teenagers gaming for more than 2 hrs on end. Ppl should just let teenagers play VIDEO GAMES (although that might just be Tencent’s problem, not the CCP’s.) Another thing is, that apparently ChinaBlox has really strict rules for some reason… TL;DR: China should embrace gaming culture rather than going against it.

hardware: use TV as a monitor?

Is this a smart idea? For Roblox and Minecraft, a TV should be perfectly fine and in fact excellent. I will go out on a limb here and say that even for most ‘real’ games a TV is fine. The latency associated with TVs is most noticeable in FPS games. For other genres like strategy, third-person adventure games etc, I do not think it matters as much if at all. Many people, especially those who have not used a low response / gaming monitor, do not even notice a lag at all (Note: You will find many such people in real life but never ever on the internet). It would be nice of course if your TV had a “Game Mode” which lowers latency, but it may not necessarily be there in a 10-year-old TV (though it was not that uncommon even back then, so do look for it in your TV settings). Regarding programming on the TV, I think the situation is slightly different. Using small text in general doesn’t work for me at all on a TV. Most TVs, other than OLEDs or recent non-OLED ones, don’t seem to handle text well enough in my experience. There’s either ghosting or some other manner of artifacts which makes the text harder to read compared to a monitor (apart from the distance from TV involved). I commonly see this issue even with office televisions used for mirroring laptop output. Maybe playing around with sharpening and other settings might get it to work well enough though and it really depends on the specific TV in question. Overall, I feel you should be fine, at least for gaming, but probably for programming as well. I have a couple of gaming rigs hooked up to my living room and bedroom TV’s and I quite enjoy gaming on them. The much larger screens and ability to lounge about while gaming more than make up for any perceived or actual lag for me. I hope your kid and you have a great time with your new setup. Have fun! :)

wish i would have been a child like that

did you know you can probably dual boot Linux from your school issued Chromebook so that you can program Lua for your Roblox mod? I didn’t! A kid taught me. Funny that you say that, cause our school locked our Chromebooks down so much that we literally couldn’t use the terminal or change 90% of the settings. Schools basically force kids to be tech illiterate by disabiling and crippling our systems.

Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye

Not them, but I think I’ve got a bead on it, assuming you treat it as a general concept and not a trademark: It’s basically the Platonic ideal of a game lobby. Kinda like what Miiverse was supposed to be, or Ready Player One. They were both after my time but I think maybe kinda like Club Penguin or Roblox? Like an overworld with a custom avatar that you can socialize in and sync into other apps or games together. It does seem basically inevitable, fast forward gaming 10 years and I’d be surprised if something like that wasn’t the norm.
