Yo, that is so good to know!
Wish there was a link to some quick stylesheet guide that kbin supports when you write a comment. Haven't seen this feature before.

Troll post or shill, same account recently asked "why do people dislike google, they're only doing legal data saving for stuff you search" and then ignored every bit of legitimate croticism that was handed to them.

Makes no sense to interact with such an account.

why do some people really dislike google??

i don’t want to offend anyone, but some open source/privacy enthusiasts dislike google, but why?? google has made chromium, android, etc and most of the things they do are open source, and not only that, they also support creative commons media or public domain. i know the privacy concernes they may have, but they would never...

"Legal" doesn't immediately mean "moral". Everything is legal as long as there isn't a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You're forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore...

This game is probably the reason I never got into TMNT. Super unforgiving lifr system which throws you back at the start of the game, and very wonky hitboxes

Starfield group fixing Bethesda's bugs say their job is tough as mods feel an afterthought (www.eurogamer.net)

“What’s more frustrating for those working on SCP, and the wider Starfield modding community, is how difficult it is to work with Starfield’s code without official modding tools and support. This isn’t helped by the delayed mod tools from Bethesda, which the company says are coming at some point next year.”

Wouldn't be surprised if mod tools never come at all.
If there's one thing I learned, it's that gaming companies will promise you anything to get on your good side. Take statements like these with the biggest grain of salt.

They can control your watch time better if you make less decisions. Just be a good little brainless consumer and scroll through endless amounts of bullshit instead of specifically finding one video, then doing something else.

It started with autoplay, wormed it's way into search feature, and now it's all over home and subscriptions.

Request: Remove ability to 'boost' your own comments and threads (kbin.social)

The ability to 'boost' your own comments/threads has been used by a very small number of users in a way that seriously degrades conversation on the platform. These users constantly move their own contributions to the top of the conversation without regard to their value. If allowed to continue it will likely become standard for...

Alternatively, upvote/boost your own posts by default when posting.

I've struggled with this question before myself. On the one hand, there is a notable impact in visibility on posts which I've self-upvoted versus posts which I did not self-upvote, so it does feel like an unfair advantage. On the other hand, I am also a community member in the community I post. I wouldn't post something, if I didn't think it contributes to the overall community. Plus, there's a bug in kbin going on, that new posts only show up in new but not in hot at all, until there is at least some sort of interaction (a comment, or an upvote, or a boost).

"If you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn't yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time," Simmons warns. "One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal."

Holy shit this guy is amazing.

I get it though. People trying to monetize your work which was purposely hosted for free without ads would drive me mad too.

Here's a fun suggestion, how about you unlock the desired players by playing the game? Could even put it into an immersive context, you beat brazil and subsequently unlock their players for your team.

What's so fun about buying a chance to get your player? Is it possibly the shiny colors and the happy soundeffects that are specifically designed to make your brain addicted?

Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

So this animation randomly exploded and made it's way onto my frontpage.

I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I'd share it with the fediverse.

To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called "Glitch" and the creator called "Gooseworx" had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

This is only the pilot and they're trying to get the series greenlit.

Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that's just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

Regarding the funding, do you think you can set up an alternative way of donating that accepts other payment options like PayPal? Personally I'm not using a credit card, which is the only payment option one can use on your buymeacoffee.

No thank you, AITA is a toxic guilty pleasure, that I want to seek out actively if I'm in the mood for it, not see it on my feed regularly. It is the worst kind of form social media can take. If I see it anywhere on the fediverse, I'd immediately block it.

Actually, this bug is the reason I started upvoting my own posts in the first place. However, I THINK it's been fixed for some time now though. I can see my posts sorted by hot on the magazine I post to without upvoting them.

Lemmy also has the automatic upvote? That is so interesting to know! Maybe there should be a standard protocol for this behaviour.

It's unintelligible nonsense at this point with a side of transphobia. Yikes.

It's an advertisement, it's specifically designed to make you associate positive thoughts with a corporation.

Can't find a lot of wholesomeness in that personally.

Actually the old Moderna was having such a harsh reaction on younger people, Germany changed their recommendations to not allow anyone younger than 60 to get moderna.

I also had Moderna back then once and can only confirm, it knocked me completely out for a whole day with harsh fever like symptoms, really wasn't fun.

Haven't really been vaccinated for a year now, so can't talk about the new moderna.

finally a decent use of this dumbass meme format.

I hate how the majority of the time this is used, it can be summed up with "girls boring, boys fun haha".
Thought we left that sorta thinking behind in elementary school?
Anyway, fuck gender stereotypes, we're all just humans trying to wing it.

Nah, Discord is already a way into the enshittifation process. Back when it first got popular, people ditched skype to migrate to discord en masse, because discord was lightweight and quick as fuck and had 0 ads.

Nothing about this software nowadays gives me the feeling of being quick.

I think the worst part of it all is the trust that is irrevocably broken now.
This is obviously a moronic scummy decision driven by greed, but it also goes directly against past decisions. As per this reddit post, Unity actually had a TOS in action that protected Developers against retroactive changes like this. Specifically, it stated that you could choose to continue using old versions of the engine and comply to the old TOS if an update to the TOS that you disagree with ever happened. This specific part of the TOS was deleted last year.

If they actually try to enforce this new crap on already released games (that accepted an older version of the TOS) then it would seem blatantly illegal (I'm not a lawyer though).

Even if they revert everything by tomorrow, the whole fiasco still shows where Unity's current interests are, and make the company a liability to deal with for any game developer.

RealM,
@RealM@kbin.social avatar

Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said "You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances" ?
You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.

Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won't give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.

Thanks! Thought I was going crazy for a second, when the prompt to Install a game came on that I definitely did install and recently played.

Correct!

This is more like a throwaway joke, the anime is not actually focused on city planning discussions or car-centric design.

Which humans are you blaming exactly?

I don't think it's fair to blame the users. They toggle bluetooth off and think it's off. How are they supposed to know "Bluetooth Off" means "Only some amount of Bluetooth is off"?
And I don't think designing a convincing phishing device is that much of a leap in logic. Bluetooth is off, so maybe the notification is legit from apple and needs authority for a connection?

If you blame the designers who left a backdoor in the bluetooth, then yea that's fair.

RealM,

Thanks, I never used an Apple Product, so I didn't have the contextual infromation!
To me it sounded like a binary state (on/off), as I know it from most phones I've seen.

"Oh nein, Rechts isst Brot! Wenn du Brot isst, ist das eine Assoziation, die das echt geschmackslos macht."

Nur weil du mit etwas unkomfortabel bist musst du deine Werte nicht auf andere ausweiten (in diesem Fall eine amerikanische Website). Wir können doch nicht gesamte Kulturbereiche einstampfen, nur weil Nazis damals ebenfalls Teile dieser Kultur hatten. Damit berauben wir uns doch so vielen Möglichkeiten.

I don't like the way this question is framed. It implies that IQ is a meaningful indicator of intelligence as well as that intelligence can be generalized and measured accurately. In truth, it can't.

While there exists a certain correlation between measured IQ and academic success, these things can always explained via different factors as well, for instance the amount care that your parents put into how well you do academicallg early on in life, shaping your values, beliefs and personality. Someone whose parents put effort into making sure they did well at school will probably also care more for taking such an IQ test seriously as well as have academic success. Do note, that there is only little correlation between IQ and later levels of income in their line of work.

To go back to the actual question, you cope with it by realizing that intelligence is a diverse and complex concept, where different people do well on different things. While you might certainly have a domain where you are objectively "better" at than someone else (measured in some way), this does not mean you are objectively better at every domain. By realizing these personal strengths and personal weaknesses we can overcome them by working in a field where we are best at and learn from others at fields they are better at in order to become a better person all around.

Humble yourself and never forget that your own personal experience shouldn't be the gold standard for everyone else. They have their own values and beliefs backed up by their own experience.

As of press time, Tomlin had browsed the Steam store while riding to work and bought Hi-Fi Rush, Dave the Diver, and Street Fighter 6, before ultimately just booting up Vampire Survivors again.

Es ist irgendwie eine Umgewöhnung, aber gleichzeitig auch mal frischer Wind. Hab letztens einen Post gesehen der Discord kritisiert hat für die gezwungene Telefonnummer-Verifikation und die besten Antworten waren "Warum nutzt du Discord? Datenhölle."

Ist mir persönlich vorher so gar nicht in den Sinn gekommen, dass Discord ebenfalls nicht das gelbe vom Ei ist.

It IS kinda crazy. If you try to create "nothingness" (create an enclosed space and suck out all of the air to have as little as possible), the nothingness actually tries to become full of something again, because of pressure difference.
