- Comment on Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website 2 days ago:
That doesn’t read/seem very novel. Seems like a pretty obvious iteration or implementation if you wanted to implement something like that.
- Comment on Valve compares its loot boxes to Labubus in lawsuit defense 1 week ago:
Gambling systems always play into human psychology, and are always not in your favor.
CS loot boxes in particular have many systems designed to catch human pyschology.
Even the most simple single shot gsmbling like roulette is not in your favor. Any content box randomizes what you get, incentivizing more pulls, duplicates and unwanteds.
- Comment on Age Verification Laws Are Multiplying Like a Virus, and Your Linux Computer Might be Next 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately, it falls right into the whole authoritarian taking control, surveillance, and manipulation push that became not only pretty open in activities but also pretty transparent through published findings and contextualized previously published materials. Seems likely that it’s all connected.

I got back into Overwatch. Only playing Illari.
Continuing my daily Idle Slayer login for minion quest-sending. Offline progression is a nice thing. I just wish it would end already. It’s too endless.
I’ve bought a shooter bundle, so I may play Selaco soon. There are a few other games to play and clear out from installed, a demo, another small game.

- Comment on Amazon plunges 9%, continues Big Tech's $1 trillion wipeout as AI bubble fears ignite sell-off 1 month ago:
Nvidia hasn’t really fallen yet. Across six months it’s pretty flat. Nothing like Microsoft or Amazon which have significant dips.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Then it seems like a strategic move alongside locking higher playback speeds behind premium as well.
UI and player control on payed tiers when it makes no technical difference to them as a delivery platform.
- Comment on Austrian Supreme Court rules that FIFA loot boxes are not gambling 1 month ago:
“In this video game, despite the random allocation of individual digital content from the Packs, the human player can use their own skills to control the course of the game with a probability suitable for success, thus establishing a rational expectation of winning,” the court concluded.
Apparently it’s not about the loot box itself but that what you get out of it is used in a game that involves skill.
- Comment on OpenAI is discontinuing GPT-4o, GPT-4.1 and o4-mini in ChatGPT 1 month ago:
14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal.
If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.
The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?

They leave me, just like in real life :( /s
- Comment on Meet UpScrolled, the anti-censorship TikTok alternative 1 month ago:
We *are" on Lemmy though. It’s certainly relevant to me.
I don’t need it to be a popular app for others when is not for me.
- Comment on Lawsuit claims Meta can see WhatsApp chats in breach of privacy 1 month ago:
The complaint cites “whistleblowers” as having helped bring this information to light, though it doesn’t explain who they are.
No substance yet.
- Comment on Elon Musk and Sam Altman clashed on X after Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide following delusional conversations with ChatGPT 2 months ago:
When the pig has a public platform it can be important to respond. Not for the other, but for the audience or community. Otherwise, public discourse becomes dominated by pigs.
(Staying in your analogy. I think pigs are better than that.)
- Comment on NVIDIA Contacted Anna’s Archive to Secure Access to Millions of Pirated Books 2 months ago:
Could you link a or the source?
The list links an image, and the description links a page with a login screen.
- Comment on The Bots That Women Use in a World of Unsatisfying Men 2 months ago:
Dark humor is a coping mechanism. Venting elsewhere doesn’t tell us anything about their communication style.
I don’t see anything that would warrant blaming her here.
- Comment on ICE Recruitment Ads No Longer on Spotify 2 months ago:
The other problem is that music you bought can disappear from your Bandcamp library.
I wasn’t aware of this for quite a while. But the artist can remove the titles and they disappear. Do much for buying, library, owning, and downloading. Better make sure to download and back up.
- Comment on Foreign tech workers spurn US as if it were a rabid dog 2 months ago:
I don’t have any experience or specific knowledge about it, but I suspect these things may have significant variance between countries or even cities.
Really unfortunate and sad either way.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
You mean my second point does? Would you agree with, do you see my first point being independent of the process and act of such a creation?
The same applies to the creation or training process. If they trained with voice samples or have a collection of voice samples for matching, then those could serve as evidence or indications.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
If you’re selling or publishing a voice in a way that I personates another person without their consent that may be identifiable and prosecutable. “Generate with x voice.” 'Talk to x." Etc. Exact lettering is no necessary if intent is evident from pictures or evasive descriptions making an obvious implication.
If prosecution can find evidence of cloning/training that can also serve as basis.
In these ways it doesn’t have to be about similarity of the produced voice, of quality or alternative people, at all.
- Comment on Engineer proves that Kohler’s smart toilet cameras aren’t very private 3 months ago:
End to end - just like the food through your body 😏
- Comment on Roblox is a problem — but it’s a symptom of something worse 3 months ago:
It’s definitely been a thing before Trump. A lot of corporate and publicity speak is like this. Trump is certainly the most prominent, visible, and ‘obvious through exposure’ figure and example of this right now though.
- Comment on Roblox is a problem — but it’s a symptom of something worse 3 months ago:
Biological and psychological variance is an Internet part of humanity. When you say this I’m immediately reminded of fascist ideals and efforts to ‘normalize’ and ‘conformize’ people, and not just from this side of the spectrum. So I think this is a somewhat dangerous argument to make.
At large, it’s human nature to elevate these kinds of people, that’s why they end up in such high positions. I’m not sure we can change that. And that’s where regulations and requirements by law come in, as well as public record and press, to keep them in check.
- Comment on Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ 3 months ago:
Post of this device is covering the risk of unforseen cost. Heating breaks? That may become expensive. You pay a monthly fee and don’t have to manage risk and cost like that. Many people would be ruined if they had to cover that and repair becomes necessary, or face worsening condition.
- Comment on Press a button and this SSD will self-destruct with all your data 3 months ago:
Help, my cat stepped on the button, how do I recover my data?
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 3 months ago:
Quoting the rest text
Google’s Pixel 10 works with AirDrop, and other phones should follow later.
- Comment on The EU made Apple adopt new Wi-Fi standards, and now Android can support AirDrop 3 months ago:
How do you rsync between an android and iOS device? Is it as simple as airdrop?

How many people did you betray? :p
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 16th 4 months ago:
Grapple Dog, was gifted to me via giveaway. It’s pretty good, a decent enough title.
- Comment on 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them 4 months ago:
I like weird. Of course they mean something different when they say weird.
