  • From games to reminders to drink water: The rise of 'streaks,' rewards that keep you hooked

    Jump

  • Every gamer should try cookie clicker once as it really does expose how many games work under the hood. If you play cookie clicker, you'll notice those number-go-up mechanics everywhere and that really gives you another perspective on some modern grindfests. It also is a really good game

  • I disagree. Let people learn in their pace and do not set unrealistic targets. It's not really possible to complete e.g. the french course in 3 months if you have other stuff to do like work or family. Took me longer, but now I'm able to be in France, read what is written on the signs and also able to communicate with the locals.

  • Copyright Lawsuit Accuses Meta of Pirating Adult Films for AI Training

    Jump

  • So Meta is trying to create an AI that is able to detect porn and nudity on their platforms.

  • Just FYI: Devices totally can phone home even if they are offline. Modern spyware capitalism is basically malware. They can easily collect data, store it somewhere and send it to their server when you do go online sometimes in the future.

  • What If

    Jump

  • It's not called "vibes", it's called "witness testimony" and every country on earth totally does convict people based on that

  • Here's why that embattled retro gaming YouTuber might not be so innocent

    Jump

  • Amazon is not a Chinese company.

  • It still makes no sense at all. Those handhelds are openly sold at Amazon, even from European warehouses. If you want to prevent the selling of ROMs, you have to tackle this problem and not some random YouTuber who maybe linked to a few Romsites or sold some via Telegram.

  • Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app

    Jump

  • Other users have written about GDPR, but just FYI: There are a lot of laws that apply worldwide. You might not like it, but states really do have laws in place that they are applying to everybody in the world. Thailand has draconian laws about insulting their king and they totally do not care if you insulted him inside or outside of the country. They can't arrest you whereever you are, but if you ever try to visit Thailand, you will get arrested. And many countries also have laws in place about stuff that their citizen do outside of the country.

  • Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'

    Jump

  • Yeah - people who are saying "no zionists" want to say "no jews".

  • Grindr Won’t Let Users Say 'No Zionists'

    Jump

  • That's something that every company can easily detect.

  • If you think about it: The GDPR applies to all data of EU citizens regardless of where they are or where you are. There is no way that this app is not having some EU guy in New York in it and therefore totally in violation of GDPR

  • Meta will cease political ads in European Union by fall, blaming bloc’s new rules

    Jump

  • Let's be honest: We are talking about several billions of dollars of ad revenue over the years. Meta has the resources to work within those rules and earn billions. If they do not want to do that, there is something really shady going on.

  • It's not really free: Consider donating money to your instance in order to pay the server costs!

  • Medical AI Systems Are Moving Too Fast for Safety Rules

    Jump

  • Everybody can move really fast when ignoring safety rules, compliance, ethics. The problem is that all those pesky rules are in place for a reason and if you ignore them, people will die.

  • Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette

    Jump

  • The quote is even worse when you take this snippet from above:

    The study discovered that the majority of users did not choose to block ads, with ad-blocking technology often activated by a third-party like their employer at a network level, their educational institution, security software they installed, or public Wi-Fi networks. For example ad-blocking tech can be bundled with VPNs (virtual private networks that hide a web user’s location) and built into browsers like BRave and Duck Duck Go. There are also dedicated apps and cross-platform brands such as AdGuard which describes itself as “the world’s most advanced ad blocker” that can “even” block on Youtube.

    So they are trying to frame corporate security policies as "no consent". Which totally does not make sense as the contract the worker signed is consent for corporate IT to manage the computer and also to secure it against malware serves via ads. And to even suggest that users who are using a VPN with built in adblock or an alternative browser do not want to use the features the software they installed come with, is crap

  • Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows

    Jump

  • Which is totally a failure of Microsoft. People have their Xbox connected to their TV. They have an account and they have their payment information maintained there. And Microsoft can't make the simple proposal of "Hey, this device you have connected to your TV and where you are playing games on, you can also use it to watch movies and series"

  • Microsoft suddenly kills its movies and TV store on Xbox and Windows

    Jump

  • If you think about it: Microsoft owns XBox, that has been one of the three major consoles for decades now. They own Windows, the world's most popular operating system. They own Edge, one of the major browsers. And they still failed to create a movie and TV store and shut down their music streaming service. Which is totally insane - that shit was bundled with fucking windows and Xbox and they still made it suck so hard that it failed

  • Password manager by Amazon

    Jump

  • Yeah, my in-laws have such a book and it honestly is great. They live in their own flat where nobody can access the book without breaking in. They do not save their passwords in their browser, so anyone hacking into their PC can't grab them. If they want to login into an account, they take out their book, put in the user name and unique password and that's it. Quite the good method and I really do not see many problems there.

  • YouTuber faces jail time for showing off Android-based gaming handhelds - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • We're talking about devices like the R36S, which come with an SD-Card with the full NES, SNES and MegaDrive library and several hundreds of MAME games, N64, PS1, PSP and so on. Those things are really incredible - they cost almost nothing (like 35€) and give you a really crazy value for your money. Buy them before authorities catch up, but yeah, there is nothing legal about them and many games that come with them are not abandoned.
