I'm sorry, but nothing with Apple is intuitive to me, and I have no idea how people work with their hardware or software.

Car manufacturers are focusing on keeping the price low, and they used to focus a lot on safety, both inside and outside the car. So let us see where this one goes.

I'm the outsider, I hate their UIs. Anytime I have to solve any issue on an Apple device, I want to give up.

At least Macs have terminal, but iPads are way out of my comfort zone

What's the point?

Fun? Please, casino games are hilarously bad.

Money? It takes from the poor, and even those who win end up wasting it away.

Thrill? I hope not.

So why? Money laundering? Data collection?

Look, my point is: we should just ban any gambling. It never does any good, any regulations and taxes end up being paid by the poorest ones. Children or not, just stop it altogether.

All I'm saying is that regulation does not solve the problem.

I may have been involved in the gambling scene and no amount of regulation solves anything. Not taxes, not self-limiting options. It does not do anything.

And I'm actually suprised how people act like regulations help with the issues. The problems remain, just are slightly less predatory. Wohoo, we did it!

As he can buy almost everything else apart from alcohol.

Sure, seeing information, be it nutrition in food or odds in games is nice, but doesn't fix anything. We should demand to ban most of those things outright.

You mean alcohol?

What else is regulated?

[–] msage@programming.dev 1 points 10 months ago (6 children)

But market determines value based on demand/supply. And if you unload too much supply into the world, the price will drop. I have no clue why people try to argue that regulating this will change anything.

Remove it all, sure. But regulating the odds won't do a single thing. Unless you don't like super-rare items, that is about the only thing that regulations can change.

I would never pick the online version of casino either. Your money will do you better in a piggy bank.

So is

  • sugar
  • savoury snacks
  • instant food
  • fast food
  • porn
  • alcohol

But also casinos have an actual payout, while lootboxes give you in-game stuff.
