- Comment on How do I get one of those jobs where I send an email and then go to a meeting then draft an email then leave work and get paid $98,000/Year and have a badge on a little cord that says senior deputy analytics coordinator supervisor of marketing and sales? 18 hours ago:
It also helps to be a soulless husk with no regard for human decency.

Unfortunately not well enough from my experience. I never want to be that guy.

I used to play trumpet in high school and I wish I could get back into it, but apartment living has prevented the dream so far.

These companies are straight up allergic to selling a product that doesn’t massively invade privacy anymore. What I would give for some HUD-only glasses.

That’s worth tipping for in a Waffle House considering you weren’t directly involved in the murder.

- Comment on Why do non fans try so hard to engage with fandom? 5 weeks ago:
This is known as gatekeeping. There’s no such thing as a “real fan”. People from all walks of life want to be involved in a conversation about a thing they find enjoyable. If anything, we should welcome those looking to be involved or experienced with things they don’t yet understand.
This is a bit different if they’re confidently incorrect and argue, but I have to imagine this is not the majority. You can take on the role of an educator to help those that don’t know understand more.
- Comment on A monkey that snapped a picture of itself becomes a multi-year battle over photography rights morphing into AI legalities. 5 weeks ago:
They credit the image to David Slater, but I’m on team Monke. I am not on team AI. Monke will always make a more interesting picture than AI.

You are correct that this is normal for the OS. The OS will use this data to determine your location. What is not normal is abusing the Bluetooth permission to send a list of scanned devices to app vendor. They should only be collecting the location, not the raw Bluetooth list. I don’t have the app to confirm, but they way they said it, they would be handing all of the local device data along with the standard location permission. This is the extra data that can be used to isolate you more than just a location could.
This is similar to browser fingerprinting, but worse because your phone goes with you everywhere.
One final mention is that the app is likely not collecting that list once, but rather regularly, so they could build a profile on what devices you’re in range of and by extension where you are regularly, even if you chose to disable your location, since they’re using Bluetooth MAC addresses as their workaround.

Except that this hooked into an app and sent all the info about those Bluetooth devices to the manufacturer, which some data collectors can use process of elimination to isolate you. Normal (privacy-respecting) Bluetooth devices do not pass this info to the service provider and only your phone uses it to pair with the device.

Could also be that they stopped focusing so much on themselves/their appearance and started living in the real world and people noticed.

I might be guilty of this. Used to go every week with a friend and eventually started figuring out my stride. Now I’m the one that does better than a casual player and it’s weird.

- Comment on The Samsung photo gallery 'Style' function is AI, right? 1 month ago:
This is regionally AI-driven, but not the same tech as all the image generators you see. This is an implementation of Style Transfer which came out years before OpenAI was even really on the map.

Believe it or not, you can even be a fan of a team in a place you’ve never lived. The rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

You can still get them on Android. I just don’t think iOS exposes the necessary information to apps.
