I wanted to check price, which does not seem to be mentioned in the article, but the “Eco Way” doesn’t seem to be listed on the Seacat Ships website (yet).
- Comment on How much screen-time control is actually useful? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use nor need screentime control.
It depends on what your goal is.
I see them as very useful when you want to reduce distractions and unwanted habits. Block specific apps during work hours or in the evening.
For parenting, a simple time limit may be enough, or time ranges may be desirable and reasonable or required.
- Comment on Meta ordered to pay $25 billion to New Mexico after jury finds company misled consumers about data privacy 2 weeks ago:
Filed in 2021. That’s such a long timeframe, makes me wonder if inflation is priced in. If they appeal for three years, will it be inflation adjusted or be increased by central interest rates?
- Comment on What should computer monitoring software actually let you control? 3 weeks ago:
In a work business context, the company provides and owns the devices, and for security it needs to monitor not individual person behavior but threat indication and traceability. Network traffic should be routed through a company router to restrict and monitor which device and account talks to which systems and services and to monitor indications of breach.
The logging data must not be endlessly persistend for space usage reduction, data minimization, and eventual privacy. There must not be direct unauthorized access but access must be restricted and reasons must be documented.
When the devices are company owned and the usage announced to shall be only company activities not private activities, the privacy implications are low. If individuals specific behaviors are not monitored but only their broader activities across edges with security relevance and if that information is not accessed without reason, then it’s not a significant private issue but on the other hand remains security relevant anyway.
DNS and network filtering makes sense from a security perspective. If the company can assume only work related tasks are being done they can make reasonable guesses which services or countries will be accessed or internal services may be accessed from.
Parental controls make sense and change with age, parental education, and personality and trustworthiness.
I’m not sure how useful monitoring would be beyond basic indications.
What I would like to have for my own system; I would like to control and monitor which programs can see, read or write which files, services, and network targets. I do use some stuff in that area, but I would like a more obvious, convenient, and secure framework/suite. To protect myself from bad programs (which may not be “bad” initially and for a while). Zero trust means apps should run in minimum environments and access, not inherit the whole user session context and user accessible storage.

In this one he does the goodbye loop with the AI himself, then says I love you, and asks the AI to say it back. 🤡
- Comment on I Sent an AI to My Job Interview. So Did the Company. 4 weeks ago:
It’s certainly not “real” interviews. But I wonder if they’re using the platforms/AI companies actually use.
- Comment on I Sent an AI to My Job Interview. So Did the Company. 4 weeks ago:
Hilarious. Chaotic. Absurd.
He has more interviewed by AI videos on his channel, which are quite absurd and funny.

It also allowed me to use text search because how else do you find the ones you are looking for? I looked in the wrong category.
- Comment on GTA 6's $1 million billboard goes up despite protests from local police as Rockstar's real-life Miami takeover gets underway 1 month ago:
Referencing current times in this way is crazy. Ignorant of ICE, surveillance, violence, and prejudice criticisms.
Billboards are not the only thing projecting an image.

I have been playing assassin’s creed Valhalla, which I won. It’s 80% cutscenes, transitions, and traversal. I find it incredibly irritating, disconnected, and boring.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Sorry you had to go through that.
A single company doesn’t make the norm, though. Did you get insight into other companies too?
Just recently I watched a Japanese citizen saying its a common misconception, a prejudice. That just like there’s bad companies in other countries there are these in Japan. They just use a term, a label for them.

There’s security and possible support implications, and a general concept of reducing data use and storage, but I don’t see why they should take precedence for something like this.
Overall, yes, it can’t be significantly more than a few database records sitting around. The avatar image is probably more data than the rest of the account metadata.

it seems to me that he is almost admitting that he wiped the phone intentionally,
Seems like he’s trying to change the system, to do a public good, rather than only escape his conviction.
