paraphrand,

We really are living in the future.

paraphrand,

The theater I was in clapped and cheered during the first multiple Agent Smith fight in the second Matrix movie on opening night.

paraphrand,

As someone else pointed out. Thats not a good habit to be in. Its bad for your brain long term. If you do have allergies, switch to newer generation antihistamines.

paraphrand,

I choose to abstain from Mario Party

paraphrand,

That bitch.

paraphrand,

I’m surprised hitboxes are allowed to vary that much.

paraphrand,

No wonder they are a bit of a brat about iOS.

paraphrand,

“Sorry Tim”

paraphrand,

Steam Box era SteamOS. About a decade ago.

paraphrand,

Yeah.

paraphrand,

I guess it’s a lance.

paraphrand,

Yeah. They existed before Twitter too.

paraphrand,

Well, back then I wouldn’t call “blogs” a platform. But that’s what helped popularize tags.

paraphrand,

I don’t think so. At least not as a matter of course.

But they did help organize content, and helped search engines as metadata. At least before (?) SEO destroyed their utility.

paraphrand,

They will just use labels instead of numbers.

OK Microsoft... trying to log into Teams while work lapop updates to Windows 11. No longer works in any iPhone browser, including Edge. The app will not authenticate my work login. (lemmy.world)

Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐...

paraphrand,

Teams is exceptional in being terrible.

I was totally over trash talking MS stuff until Teams came along and reminded me just how terrible they can be when they have a market segment cornered.

paraphrand,

But he’s so edgy!

paraphrand,

That’s wild. Are you serious? Can you point to any proof or articles about that direct reflection of the snooping? I assume your employer had to agree to their information being used for advertising/etc.

paraphrand,

You probably use Azure.

paraphrand,

Kids these days.

paraphrand,

They are!

paraphrand,

It’s gotten much better with like the 7th gen onwards. But yeah, there ain’t a ton to spare.

paraphrand,

They ain’t my friends if they be posting ads.

paraphrand,

I always thought it was a bad idea for people to treat Discord as a free CDN.

paraphrand,

You can also make submissions to Apple Maps.

Even though these are massive corporations, they kinda do rely on feedback here.

paraphrand,

That seems like a tricky one to moderate. I’m sure they are worried about things being set and forgotten and never repealed.

paraphrand,

That does seem like a good system for structuring things for users with good intent.

paraphrand,

Those recordings are not available to the public though, right? Isn’t that the difference? Or am I just mislead here?

I see why the tradition of it feels conservative. But I dunno. I think it’s cool. Seems like good culture.

Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and Mastodon (techcrunch.com)

"the company looked at the history of social media over the past decade and didn’t like what it saw… existing companies that are only model motivated by profit and just insane user growth, and are willing to tolerate and amplify really toxic content because it looks like engagement… "

paraphrand,

I hope they hit on something stand-out soon. To establish more sustainability. Seems like everything is in change right now.

paraphrand,

I bet it’s so they don’t have to duplicate the login system for their account system or something silly like that.

“We don’t want to maintain X in two places.”

paraphrand,

Photoshop was always something that required skill, and a computer to run it, and a copy of a paid program.

This stuff does not need a lot of those hurdles. It’s all about ease and how it’s usable on your pocket computer that you and all your classmates have with you all the time.

Your thought is still a fair one to have. But there are big differences between what was and this new stuff. In the past you woulda needed a ton more skill and the alignment of a bunch of things to casually generate fake nudes like the ones covered by this article.

paraphrand,

And then that fleet will sell access to children? Isn’t that a bit disconnected from the specifics of the topic?

paraphrand,

I assume these models are being run on servers.

paraphrand,

Sweet. Me too. In the 90s. This is partially where I draw my understanding of the situation from.

Specifically:

  • The idea that piracy of professional software isn’t as casual as phone apps or web apps.
  • The fact that it’s paid software that is professional software with a learning curve.
paraphrand,

Windows 10 gave me a notification telling me to buy Starfield the other day. fuck off

paraphrand,

I must be good at ignoring them, because this is the first I’ve gotten one and read it.

I didn’t know there was an opt out process.

paraphrand,

Furby is real?!

paraphrand,

That’s awesome that the Steam Deck does a check like that.

paraphrand,

It’s a bummer that the situation is essentially a tax that guarantees not being hassled by counterfeit goods.

“Well, I have two options. Here, this one here that’s white. And here’s another one that’s not white.”

“What’s the difference?”

“Well, this one I guarantee is what it appears to be.”

“And the other one?”

“Well, that one is probally what it appears to be. But how can I know? I’m just the one selling it to you.”

“That seems fucked up.”

“Please understand that we take counterfeit goods very seriously.”

“Right….”

paraphrand,

Pretty much every other phone huh? Weird.

paraphrand,

That was my experience 10 years ago.

paraphrand,

Yup, macOS has one too.

paraphrand,

So things like the “hide my email” addresses that iCloud generates are fair game. They are aliases. Right?

These are popular and available to very average people. All in the name of privacy, and anti-spam.

paraphrand,

Yeah, it really is their fault for dressing like that.

paraphrand,

Those would be good App names. One is already taken…

I assume I’m just unaware of the others.

paraphrand,

Don’t let everyone “well actually” you, here. The fact you are making this robust is great.

Feature idea: holding down Alt/Option changes the menu to open in a new tab.

paraphrand,

Oh, sounds good. It would be best to follow similar conventions. I’m a Safari person, so I didn’t know New Tab was default in Firefox. Making the menu say it will be a new tab would be good.

paraphrand,
