• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They can’t close the kernel. They already distribute Android with proprietary software - for example Google Play services and DRM services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Anthropic’s Claude still hasn’t beaten Pokémon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s almost like LLMs aren’t capable of understanding or something. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Porn on Spotify Is Infiltrating the Platform’s Top Podcast Charts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Antennapod and not depending on the whims of whatever a CEO feels like today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the good old days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pre-industrial societies still expected children to work from young ages. And they would often switch to adult labour in their early teens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a reader⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I did and I don’t use subdomains for mobile. Have you tried being good at it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI calls for US government to codify 'fair use' for AI training | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please do. I want to train an AI on Disney movies. (Dear Disney lawyers please take the bait)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No European country has unrestricted jus soli for nationality. Ireland was the last one to restrict nationality by-soil to children of long term legal residents, which is the same as Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'You can now jailbreak your AMD CPU' — Google researchers release kit to exploit microcode vulnerability in Ryzen Zen 1 to Zen 4 chips⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the above and more? There’s always the risk of something falling through the cracks, so the more layers of security measures you add/can afford the better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'You can now jailbreak your AMD CPU' — Google researchers release kit to exploit microcode vulnerability in Ryzen Zen 1 to Zen 4 chips⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  90% of security vulnerabilities are caused by “let’s just use/do this for now and change it before production”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To each their own, but when I play games I want games that are fun to play. When I want realistic graphics I just go for a walk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BREAKING: EA releases C&C source code under GPL3!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they just figured out they can offload the modernization of old games to the community. People will still have to buy the game to get the assets needed to play it legally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when silicon valley wasn’t all about fellating boot Google left China for much less.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’s feasible, that’s why there are courts. And even if they lost in court they could leave the British market instead of complying. But Apple will always kiss boot no matter how much they tell their cult otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameStop selling 500+ stores because of "woke".⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird, every time I went to my local GameStop before it closed it looked like a diversity fair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Follows Google on a Controversial Decision - gHacks Tech News⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just a reminder that alternatives like open street maps and Here WeGo exist and are not taking marching orders from Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entropy? Never heard of it.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because we still need to bring CO2 levels down even if we stop burning fossil fuel.

  And then we’ll probably need to burn fossil fuel to keep them at the right level, since we are in a capitalistic society and we’re never going to be able to shutdown the CO2 collectors if they are ever built.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mormons are about as Christians as Muslims. The only reason they are not lumped together is because they are mostly melamine-deficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MSN doesn't work in IronFox whatsoever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like they were trying to fetch a few resources and the request timed out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I liked Star Trek before it got woke. /s⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True. We don’t have masterpieces like “Spock’s Brain” anymore. /S

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming you mean discount, they pay the third party the agreed value, and give the discount from their percentage, or, if they think they can recoup it with more sales, they pay the difference from their own pockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a very clear line between having a military and intelligence services and having a MKULTRA-era-CIA-in-space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Stars of Star Trek: Section 31 Know Why You're Nervous About the Movie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “The people in the Federation exist in a bubble of safety and happiness, but there are outsiders to that sphere of the Federation—surrounded by the Dominion, the Founders, the Klingons [of this era], the [Romulan secret police] Tal Shiar, that don’t have the same moral relativity that we do. They would see [the Federation] destroyed to fit their moral relativism,” Kazinsky argued. “People need to understand why people don’t like the idea [of Section 31], but it hasn’t changed the idea.”

  This kind of logic implies that stooping down to barbarism is OK as long as you are hypocritical about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From during the Tiktok ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s also an important lesson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From during the Tiktok ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need to go back to TikTok. At least going by the memes RedNote seems to have an healthier and more wholesome environment, so if you are going to remain in a gilded cage of a social network, might as well make it the one with broader views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, Trump is not even president yet, and his word already invalidates the written law… Americans are so fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny you say that, because Chinese apps like tiktok can’t ever be compliant with GDPR, and American ones are fully reliant on an executive order where Biden pinky swore to not use the Cloud Act against GDPR.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What if I think Facebook and Twitter should be shit canned too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The main difference is that the project will be owned by the non-profit foundation. This still leaves mastodon.social in the for profit Mastodon gGmbH but Mastodon itself is safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games like Starfield?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m old enough to remember the Kickstarter campaign. I lost track of how many release dates flew by since then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games like Starfield?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometime in 3025.
