Sorry to say I won't be following if you leave the Fediverse

Didn't realize they had rebranded from Snapchat. I don't think I'd trust their hardware

Don't buy from Nintendo

I thought it was explicitly anti-news and politics?

This is one month old fyi

The source is Android Authority and it appears to be referencing dark patterns in mobile apps

Note: These are not games released in 2023, just another "best of" list.

Google Fi customers beware. I've been saying for a while it could be next and always met with the argument "well actually it's easy for them to run and profitable so it's definitely safe." By the looks of this nothing is safe besides their most core products

Check My Ads has been doing a lot of impactful investigations and reporting recently. They're a 501c3 non-profit so I encourage people to donate: https://checkmyads.org/membership/

Worth noting this is completely free and always will be!

But but but how am I supposed to play minecraft irl now

A lot of libraries have free printing now. It's great

Is Georgia that much better? Serious question

This already exists: https://resonate.coop/coop/

Which browser do you use though?

If you liked/tried Reply All I highly recommend Underunderstood (plus Overunderstood if you join their Patreon, it's a big catalog). That being said it's more tech in culture than heavy/deep tech (they're journalists, not developers/hackers)

I don't think Darknet Diaries falls into this boat either...? The host may be libertarian or something but it's not really relevant to the content since it's mostly narrative-driven interviews or stories

I presume this is on purpose considering they're moving towards tweets not being public (account required to view). Showing the tweet in the preview would be an easy way to get way around this

Are there any services that provide an alternative to YouTube history? I primarily watch on my Chromecast with Google TV and I haven't been able to find any

Out of curiosity, what kind of tweaks?

A spokesperson for TikTok told the BBC that it had increased its investment “in efforts to ensure reliable information can be found on TikTok”, launching a “UK Election Centre with a fact-checking expert” and adopting an “industry-leading AI labelling technology”.

I doubt this will move the needle. Ultimately TikTok was not built for news & politics specifically, and it seems like a robust fact-checking system would lead to less engagement overall. So it's at odds with their primary objective

Is there a rating/voting system that exists that is resitant to internet vote tampering?

No, there is not. If there was, it would be well-known and widely used.

Even the U.S. government abandoned e-voting attempts due to strong opposition from cyber security experts. I learned about this on the Reveal podcast

Welp, that sucks. I guess maybe if Notion veers into privacy that'd be a win, but difficult to see that future. Their new "Notion Calendar" requires Google Calendar.

Google Tasks isn’t remotely close to being a powerful project management tool on par with Todoist or some of the other apps out there. Even Apple’s Reminders app can do more. It’s much closer in spirit to a paper to-do list — just a bunch of things written down that you need to get done.

And any form of game save backup that doesn't require a subscription. Since their current offering blatantly anti-consumer.

So simple that I sort of hesitate to call it a game.

I'm guessing you haven't played Townscaper?

Wait until you hear about Zoom: https://www.businessinsider.com/zoom-ceo-employees-return-to-office-2023-8?op=1

Looks like freemium: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-much-does-beeper-cost-to-use

I've seen a lot of reviews criticize it's length to price ratio. What are your thoughts on that?

This puts Nikki Haley in an interesting position. If she continues the 1-on-1 with Trump, it's basically doubling-down on Trump losing or having a bad term to bolster her credibility down the line.

Nebula is a walled garden though. They don't even have a formal process for applying to be on it. I hear it's invite only basically

What's a bad idea?

I feel like the potential payout will be less if they're just making the claim on one or more remixes. Unless they argue the remixes made the original song more popular

Edit: spelling

I think you missed an important one ::: spoiler spoiler Pee Is Stored In The Balls ::: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKQp61e94VE)

Edit: This version seems even better: https://youtu.be/PigvikV-24Y

It's a mix I believe: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/search-details/search-sources.html

It's the same on macOS too, using Webkit, and they released that first.

Looks like it's Google, Facebook, or GitHub.

As far as the survival aspects go I prefer Frostpunk. Though that's not as replayable. Both are quite solid and come highly recommended

Pretty sure he did that on the WAN Show

Hope gym fees get addressed at some point
