  Ah right, that makes sense. I know that site, but didn’t think of. I know not the smartes in the town.^^

  I also wonder if people do more secure passwords for important services. Or do they treat it the same? My parents always used their birthday as password, so they do not forget it. Which not much more secure than 1234.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top 200 Most Common Passwords | NordPass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at the different countries is also funny. The only password I’m not surprised about is admin, because that’s probably the default for most devices maybe? Unless user changes it manually.

  But my question is, are these only “hacked” passwords? Because those who are not hacked, you don’t know what passwords they have. So this is a bit of bias here, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, because Microsoft knows stuff in Windows that can be utilized in WINE. And maybe open sourcing a few parts to add to it. We are talking about WINE, an open source project where Microsoft doesn’t have the entire say. We can check and correct or reject, unlike whatever happens in closed source Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you imagine, what if Microsoft in the future will swap to Linux as their Kernel for Windows? Then WINE and Proton are also much better if Microsoft is actively working on it, as they would need it in a Linux based Windows system. I am talking about something like 20 years from from now. Looking at Android or even SteamOS, it could still be filled with proprietary stuff. But Microsoft would benefit from the superior system and lots of free development. Does anyone else think this could be a possibility?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does not matter what media or if its interactive or not. My point was about people not talking about real issues and just pointing with the finger to the boo-man, like videogames and now Ai tools. Besides videogames are also interactive, but that was never the point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is not just speculation, it is a warning not to just believe alleged accusations. We saw this a lot of times with politicians too too, while pointing to Ai to hide their real problems. So I ask you, have you prove that all of the accusations are true that the kid died because of the Ai and there the kid had no suicidal problems before?

  But yes, its easy to say “you have no clue” instead of coming up with facts. Its easy this way to point with the finger and believe what you want to believe. Plus I said if its true at all, then I am for regulation. You instead ignore all of my points and say “you have no clue”. I wonder if you have any clue what you are talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  but you are saying that the companies selling these products should get off for free because they “would’ve done it anyway”

  I am not saying that. Did you not read the last part of my reply?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.AI bans users under 18 after being sued over child’s suicide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Last year, the company was sued by the family of 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III, who took his own life after allegedly developing an emotional attachment to a character he created on Character.AI. His family laid blame for his death at the feet of Character.AI and argued the technology was “dangerous and untested”.

  I wonder if the death is really connected to the Ai. It could be the person was already in a problematic situation with family and friends, and they just need to blame someone or something and don’t want to admit the real problems. Kind of what often happened back in the day with videogames getting blamed for killing humans.

  Now, I don’t know if this is what is happening, but it is good to have the mind open. Because we could end up in a society where everyone undermines real problems in physical world and blames Ai to sideload the question. Nontheless I think the outcome that the companies restrict access to adult only is a good thing. But the entire industry needs to do this, not select services AFTER deaths. Because if this is the root cause of death, then why should others be allowed to operate? This needs regulation! I am not for regulating every detail, but IF this is causing kids to die, then it NEEDS regulation worldwide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield's new battle royale is free-to-play and out now with 100-player matches⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how many are running to play a new Battle Royale in 2025. I mean, I have nothing against competition and I wish more Battle Royale (like PUBG) and Team Shooter (like Overwatch) would release. And I’m not even joking. But I wonder how many are interested into Battle Royale right now.

  I watched the second one in theatre and don’t want to talk about it. Lot of people like it. But that is where I stopped. I don’t even know what happens after. :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Konami instantly shot down the Wachowskis’ request to have Hideo Kojima make a Matrix game, it’s claimed [VGC]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because Kojima didn’t have time when the request came in. I wouldn’t mind a new Matrix game with current tech, as Matrix is my favorite movie of all time. I’m so glad there is no successor to this perfect movie, because the story ends right with the phone call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is, I could do a study too and claim that 4K/8K TVs are much better than HD to your eyes. Its just the setup and source that makes the difference.

  Also I think that is what happens with Cloudflare. I mean I can imagine they have agencies to put load on popular websites, just to offer them the solution. At least it makes sense from business point, so I can’t be the only one coming up with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New image-generating AIs are being used for fake expense reports⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You ask too much from the normies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the source material, the distance you look and quality of the panel. 4k is just more resolution than HD. This does not really need a study.
