ink,

are you surprised they didn’t tell you? They probably released a PR in their own language, in their own country that no one bothered to cover. Because claiming east is moving ahead in technology (despite sanctions) causes people to feel bad things in their gut.

As demonstrated by the downvotes without arguments on this post.

ink,

Which ratings do think we should use that is not manipulated these days? Apple’s own rating? IMDB? Any others?

For someone going after state actors like China, they could drop them overnight, or trickle it to go under the radar.

ratings… geez, next you’re gonna say we should trust ecommerce ratings for online purchases.

ink,

This is definitely puts a black eye on the service for me

Right, forget about all the sweatshops and suicide nets and slave labour. this one is crossing the line.

“but but but everyone does it…”

no shit, Apple normalized it.

ink,

Yes that’s definitely worse than exploiting slave labour in China for 2 decades, amirite?

ink,

Telegram not being part of Western Intelligence Toolkit along with facebook, google, apple and others offends people to the extreme, so they make a hill out of moles. P2P is inherently privacy friendly and your IP is most likely going to geolocate to the ISP. Techcrunch seems retarded.

But do keep up the fearmongering going.

ink,

it’s meant to make you feel bad as if god is going to judge you if you don’t pay. It’s what religion has been doing for generations.

“if you come to church and don’t tithe, it’s between you and god”

See how that has made pastors very rich? if you can’t see that, honestly, good for you…

ink,

it’s funny how double standards are in play when it comes to US and its propaganda guzzlers:

  • Some Uyghurs perform a terrorist act, China uses re-education camps

"China is genociding innocent people, China is our enemy #1 and i’ll not so subtly hate anyone looking east asians"

  • Hamas performs terrorist act, Israel blocks aid and supply to the area of civilians that are literally in open prison

“They deserve it, please support them”

I mean extremely horrible are bad but you see the double standards.

ink, (edited )

People are bombarded with propaganda telling them who’s good and bad. If US supports an authoritarian nation for its own interest, everything will be censored or given very little engagement so it doesn’t get the global coverage. But if it supports a genocidal state, they’d make sure most people would be supporting it.

ink,

Indians push these self-aggrandizing lies everywhere on the internet, from reddit, youtube, to quora and facebook. And with their population propping up these posts you have to take everything with a bucket of salt.

The top post is saying people don’t pirate Windows there because it’s illegal, like what??? go to any piracy based forums, telegram channels, and groups, it’s full of them.

ink,

Google Search, Adsense/Analytics, Android and Chrome should be broken up.

It’s feeding the same evil

ink, (edited )

I see the exact opposite, and you being triggered when no one even mentioned anything you’re so offended about, proves the point.

It’s totally not your insecurity talking, at all… but do go on…

ink,

Someone who barges in a discussion getting triggered when someone said something bad about his beloved company, says he’s not. lmao

How to check that an add-on doesn't spy on you ?

Many add-ons have somewhat spookiy authorisation requirements, such as “access all of your activity”. In many cases this is justified by it’s function, and of course there isn’t any problem with it as long as we’re sure all this data stays on your computer and isn’t shared with any remote server. How are we sure of...

ink,

Easiest way is to use packet sniffing. but they could be set-up to only send data at random intervals, which could be hours, days or weeks. so you’re best bet is go through the source code by extracting the extension file and look for any links, domains or mangled code which may be encoded with something malicious.

ink,

Search and ads are their bread and butter, Android is there to get you personalized ads. They’re not going to give them up as defaults.

They even mess up split screen when you choose a different launcher. that’s just a dark pattern to make you use google more

ink,

Are they going to bundle chrome as a system update like apple bundles safari, just so they can say they have longer update cycle?

ink,

do you trust that guy because he calls himself a scientist or because he has fancy graphs, maybe his accent? hmm… must be the lab dress shown for 5 seconds in the intro.

I saw both of his videos where he compares pixel watch and apple watch against polar h10 chest strap as a reference device, but somehow the reference device is ranked lower than apple device in his pixel watch ratings? How does that happen?

how does a reference device wind up being less accurate against the device you are testing against? I couldn’t find him testing them against an actual medical equipment.

Him comparing Apple watch against Polar H10: i.ibb.co/MnSJXR1/image.png

His ranking when testing Google pixel watch where polar h10 is less accurate?: i.ibb.co/Xt9hS4J/image.png

Google is shit at hardware and nobody wants a subscription for a watch but maybe, just maybe, this guy seems like a apple fanboy?

The guy doesn’t reveal his data or the code he uses to plot the graphs, just 100s and 100s of affiliate links. How the hell people consider this scientific and why the fuck is it so popular?

I’m no scientist but I don’t know. educate me

ink,

if you bind the web browser to the system update you can have as long updates on Android as iOS. Considering how old devices get a washed down version of “updates” and everyone claiming that’s the holy grail of system support when google can push browser and security updates through Google Play Services. But keep repeating the only talking points you’ve ever known. You don’t have to wait for a system update for a browser vulnerability like a caveman on Google supported Android. And if Apple has to release the patch for the same vulnerability, it has to push a “system update”.

woo hoo, I had to use the Apple system update, Apple is the GOAT.

jeezus. 🤦‍♂️

Android by no means is perfect, is fragmented beyond control and Google is shit but these “consistent major updates” is apple fed bs. but you do you

no wonder you’re on here so much.

Linda Yaccarino was set up to fail (www.theverge.com)

The buzz out of the Code Conference this week is, naturally, all about the disastrous performance of X / Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino, who closed out the two-day affair in spectacular fashion. Vox’s Peter Kafka, who has been going to the conference since it started in 2008, called it “the weirdest session I’ve ever seen.”...

No company is going to cater to individual needs, especially when they have a business to run. why is that hard to comprehend?

WHY DON’T YOU MAKE AN APP THAT BALANCES BETWEEN CONVENIENCE, USABILITY AND PRIVACY?

WE ALL WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.

And I expect it to handle payments in soda cans, It isn’t tied to the blockchain or my bank account. I hope you can implement it. k, thanks!

afaik, Wire doesn’t use OS operator notifications provider for PRIVACY. If you can’t live with that and make it work, it’s not their fault.

You’re baffled people went on one of the most used website in the world to search for something. bruh…

why does it seem like a fake attempt at clickbait

  • mark it fixed a day later

who do you think opts to put ads on their videos. Google doesn’t force anyone to monetise their videos if they don’t want to.

great retort there bud. you sure showed him.

seriously go back to reddit if all you got is childish insults.

then I hope it never goes mainstream.

How hard is it to build an open source alternative to Duolinguo?

Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn’t be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

ink,

it doesn’t live up to his expectations while being made by someone else on their free time. This mentality is rampant in opensource.

Is he going to contribute, not likely

is he going to donate so they can work on it, also no

is he going to vaguely ask others to make an app to compete with commercial companies, Oh yesss

I am willing to pay if i must

of course bud, we believe you. 💯

ink,

we are all waiting for your non shittified game to drop. how’s the progress going? or we’re just complaining for the clicks.

ink,

it’s strange for them to specifically choose the light prefers-color-scheme instead of ignoring it completely. So if a website has a dark default interface with an optional prefers-color-scheme:light, it will use the light interface ignoring the default.

Seems counterintuitive

ink,

bleh. more face than actual content (where text is actually better to relay these kind of information). annoying af.

Why don’t you use that freedoms to create something that doesn’t involve raging online. Your “freedumb” doesn’t work on private platforms. I thought right wing numb nuts had that figured out by now.

Youtube, Facebook, Twitter has been suspending and banning users for petty or no reasons forever. Now they have a problem? gimme a fucking break. Censorship has always been a thing on these platforms. And this guy isn’t special.

Always the victim… geez

source? do you teach in China, or have such books at hand? i’m genuinely curious. please not some tabloid or the likes.

I mean i’ve heard they aggrandise their traditional medicine without proof and such but haven’t heard it’s right in textbooks.

It’s cheaper to just run SearXNG instance. People claiming any new search engine is better than established ones are hallucinating with their anecdotes.

NASA aims to destroy an Empire State Building-sized asteroid (interestingengineering.com)

Astronomers have been closely monitoring Bennu, which swings close to Earth every six years. However, the real cause for concern arises from the possibility that on September 24, 2182, Bennu could collide with our planet with a force equivalent to 22 atomic bombs. While the odds of such a catastrophic strike are estimated at 1...

Comparing high-energy events, especially ones that cause destruction, to weapons that have been used is very common, not just in “murica”

can you provide a few examples?

ink,

are you 14? People have a lot of reasons to archive their communication: forgotten conversations, random details, family, memories, relationship, business,

But I can understand why an edgy teenager won’t have any of those.

ink,

why did you link hashtags to a random website?

edit: your website

ink,

Reddit is a now a marketing/customer relations platform disguised as a discussion forum, and has been since it got big long ago. Hundreds of bot account post nonsensical bs around the site for appearing natural until it’s their time to defend a corporation with some anecdotes. This is why smaller fediverse instances are important.

Say anything critical about a company on a popular subreddit, and there’s a horde of accounts repeating and upvoting the companies talking points. especially if the company has its own subreddit.

“I hate elon musk but… here’s why it’s actually good thing” "I hate apple but… " "I hate trump but… " "I’m not a fan but… " "I’m not a conservative but… "

Trying to appear as neutral as possible while defending every negative attention against the mother ship.

hmm, you’re from US. nevermind…

British colonialism gave these people too much power. Would have been 50 different countries over there, if it was not for the british, yet they act as if it wasn’t handed to them.
