What they’re actually doing is super shady, and reason enough to cause concern without exaggerating.

Agreed, but the article title implies that they are in fact currently revealing names, which is just not the case.

I swear some people are just contrary.

It seems as though nobody in this thread actually read the article. They are not revealing user names on the site. The objection here is having the real name as part of your private profile data, in case of a future data breach. It’s a real concern, but orders of magnitude less serious than what everybody is assuming.

Shame on Ars for the misleading clickbait headline.

No need to be so defensive, champ.

Because your source of info is places you’ve lived at personally, and I assume a delivery driver would have seen a wider range of apartments than you. So without additional context, you seem to be making assumptions that most places would be like the ones you’ve seen, and “correcting” someone based on that assumption.

I’m not the delivery driver you replied to. I just thought it was dismissive to reply to a person saying “it’s difficult to figure out apt numbers” with a long explanation on why they’re wrong and how it’s actually easy.

What specifically about my post makes you think I’m angry? And defensive doesn’t even make sense as we haven’t spoken before. Maybe take a deep breath yeah?

You really think you’ve lived in enough apartment complexes to know better than a delivery driver?

It’s actually a spiritual successor to a game called Titan Quest, which had the same dual class system. It’s a ton of fun, though pretty dated in terms of quality of life for ARPGs.

Oh spare us your conspiracy theories. What you’re suggesting would only be possible if all major media were in coordination. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that you have an idea about who “controls the media”. 🙄

Why are you acting like Trump wouldn’t support the genocide? It’s not a choice between genocide and not, so yes you are in fact just trolling for trump.

I said you were silly because it was more polite than calling you stupid, and in neither case is it referring to the issue of traffic deaths.

And now you’ve changed your tune talking about pedestrians which has nothing to do with the topic.

Not really conclusive as there have been increases in speeding and drunk driving that cause total accident numbers to go up. A more relevant stat would be fatality or injury rates per accident.

What a silly thing to say. On what basis have you decided they don’t yield good results?
