There's the old Joel theory that the good programmers don't apply for jobs because they just get invited...

The sad thing is i see this and think:

"Who owns the UO IP now and how litigious are they?"

> And i don't mean a problem with children on the internet. We have a problem with people on the internet.

Yes. And having a fixed cut off from 'you can't see omg boobs! on the internet' to 'you can see snuff porn on the internet' won't help.

Yes but the next step is forbidding open source OSes because they can be modified to lie on this API check.

The next step after forbidding the serving of alcohol to minors is forbidding the serving of alcohol to everyone.

> Bars won't serve minors.

Bars also won't display a copy of your ID on the main street like digital "think of the children" initiatives are likely to.

If you get caught with a fake ID they sure as heck do. Had many a friend in college with a copy of their ID on the wall of shame.

Who's we? I personally taught my kid to lie about their age so they don't get silly censorship on the internet.

Good, if that's what you want for your kids, then don't set them up with a child restricted account. It's completely up to you.

> And the LFG system.

The LFG system basically killed most social interaction in WoW.

So if you played for that, you got excluded.

They also sort of killed build diversity, but there was no build diversity in classic either, at least if you wanted to raid.

The grinding... I don't miss it. That could have used toning down.

> The LFG system basically killed most social interaction in WoW.

I started playing Anniversary vanilla one year ago. I played through it all and now I'm playing Anniversary TBC. I visited many dungeons. There's no LFG system, yet I didn't find any social interactions in dungeons. I'm pretty sure the whole social interactions thing is overblown. 99% of dungeons is like leader silently invites you or you write "inv holy pala GS 1400" and he silently invites you. You silently run through dungeons, silently leave. That's about it. There are no interactions. Zero. Some people write "hi" and "ty", some don't bother.

Might also be a feature of cross realm play. Or whatever is cross server play these days, I haven't touched WoW in a long time.

If you know you're not likely to ever meet those people again, you don't bother.

That's exactly what's happening on Anniversary servers. They crammed like 20 servers into one megaserver, so there are like 100 000 players on the same server and you're very unlikely to meet the same person twice.

>The LFG system basically killed most social interaction in WoW.

as someone who has played since 2004 with only a handful of month-long breaks, this is simply not true.

I think Teams is one of the few apps where we can’t just blame JavaScript induced incompetence.

Someone needed actual malice to write that monster.

There only run that low contrast Mac OS version tho.
