Let's not be confused here. Specialization is what allows for free time. If everyone has to farm and hunt, that's all you'd do. Specialization is a good thing for humanity and diverse institutions and industries to arise.

This has been brought up before (not here, just in general). The short answer is they heavily customized the analytics so it's not as 'bad' out of the box. You can read more about it below.
You can probably ask them directly if you'd want more of an answer. They don't seem to be trying to hide anything.

Edit: also, as far as I know, Firefox actively should be blocking Google Analytics, unless they changed it (which is possible). About four years ago, Firefox started blocking Google Analytics by default.
Everybody, please understand what defederating means. It will not stop the defederated instance from getting the data. It just means you don't pull theirs.
If you want to actually control who gets data, you'd have to switch to a service like Streams. ActivityPub cannot prevent anyone from pulling data. It only allows an instance to decide not to pull from a specific location.
Honestly, I could see it being both. HB isn't entirely cold-hearted corporatism.
It's a shame that it's even considered "radical" since it's basically a copyright holder upholding their end of the bargain in the promise behind the origin of copyright. To incentivize creative content, a creator is given sole ability to monetize it for a fixed period of time. In return for that protection, the public gets it at the end of the term. Today's copyright is so far off course that it defeats the intent. There's no incentive to create anything new if you can keep milking existing content. And the public never gets a return for offering that protection.
this is likely a HIPAA violation. The thing conservatives crowed about back during vaccine requirements for jobs (and were entirely wrong about being related to HIPAA). The hospital would explicitly require patients to approve providing the records to the government. The government is a covered entity in HIPAA.
Absolutely. Before the video, she lied about it and downplayed it and accused others about falsifying the accusations. Suddenly there's video and now she "apologizes" (she didn't really, it was a fake apology, she didn't say she's sorry for what she did, she basic said she's sorry others found it offensive, that's not an apology) and she's entirely quiet on all the lying she did beforehand about saying it was overblown.
Woman is a word. Usually it's more questionable when someone says man and female. It makes women sound less than by making it more sterile and similar to specimens. It really depends on context. Female is language, but it's usage could easily make it incel language. Context is key. Not a fan of calling out an action with zero context whatsoever like the above post.
Shitty as this behavior may be
That is exactly why. If you need to do something shitty, soften the blow. If you don't, you're an asshole. Making something hurt less means you have empathy. I'm honestly confused why you needed to ask. You're taking something of value from someone and providing nothing in return.
Edit: just because something is allowed (taking the account) doesn't mean it's "good" (in the moral sense). And just because something isn't required (offering compensation) doesn't mean it can't be used as a sign of good will or the lack of it can't be viewed negatively.
Fandom is barely usable at this point. I feel like they're just relying on no one wanting to put in the effort of coordinating a migration elsewhere.
They didn't even know abortion was involved. They simply had a warrant and were legally required to comply. Technically that could happen on any site/server hosted in the US. I dislike Meta, but this isn't really them acting maliciously. It's just poor laws.
AI can very easily be abused and I don't see how this is related to the tech being open sourced or not. Fighting to ensure you aren't exploited is fine and I support anyone to fight against exploitation.
It's outselling is what caused Microsoft to not deny it. It originally denied it because they had a rule that games needed feature parity with both Series X and S. BG3 split screen couldn't be done on S. The massive success is what led them to relax the rule. And virtually no one saw this level of success coming from within the gaming industry, including the developers themselves.
Edit: I just realized this is being upset about Starfield.
That is totally the fault of gamers. The biggest reason given for buying a PS5 over Xbox was exclusives. What the fuck did you think was going to happen? Sony started the exclusives battle and continually came out ahead. Obviously MS is going to fight. Making exclusives such an important decision in console purchases drove exclusives to be important overall. There's no sense in being upset that the industrynis literally responded to gamer's actions and stated motivations.
Tbf, a lot of people misjudged it, including Larian. I don't think a lot of people really believed the "choices and decisions matter" would work as well as it did. Prior to release, I read an article that talked about how it was gonna be neat that the in-game news would update based on your actions. Like, that was the noteworthy function to discuss about the game. "NPCs might talk about your actions in passing to each other".
Did Microsoft underestimate it more than others? Sure. But pretending like every corporation, including Larian, didn't underestimate it a whole lot is a bit crazy.
Edit: and isn't the game Divinity: Original Sin II? Did it have other names in other international markets?
Edit: this was submitted as a response to https://lemmy.world/comment/3615435 but Kbin didn't seem to actually tie them together. It shows me that it was written as a reply on Kbin, but seems to have lost connection to the comment hierarchy.
https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/supported-browsers?language=en\_US#firefox
Twitch's official stance is to support the latest two versions of Firefox. Are you modifying your browser agent string at all? Or using any plugins that are privacy/ad-blocking related?
Why? Cause he wanted to read the bill before voting on it. Republicans forced it through and overrode the minimum amount of time to read it. Sure, 72 hours would be problematic, but they didn't even want to give them a handful of hours.
In the end, he voted yes. Some guy also had to talk for 52 minutes straight to try and give them time to read the bill to ensure nothing bad was snuck in.
No, it's just a very poorly thought out rebrand. Articles keep saying "X, formerly Twitter" because without it, articles actually sound pretty bad and look silly. It's a bad name for an Internet service. It's generic. It doesn't do well in web searches. It doesn't sound good when talking out loud. It's all around a poor idea according to any marketing theory. People are used to saying tweets. It already essentially had total mind share. It was the standard for microblogging. It reached "Kleenex" or "band-aid" status in being the default reference for the concept.
And he just ditched it because he likes the letter X.
Basically it's a way for a "third party" that's chosen by the web server to verify the environment where the front end code is running meets its standards. Those standards would be up to the third party. So I'd imagine if an assessor said "hey, we can verify ads load properly" or even "we verify this extension isn't running" then many sites would possibly choose those assessors. It also is blatantly deceitful because of all the issues it suggests it can fix, it doesn't actually fix any of them. And many of them aren't even that big of a problem.
Trying to change ownership and permissions probably.
And let's all remember, the money they "earned" was off the value of workers. It's literally the root of capitalism vs socialism. Many just think socialism is just give people what they need for free. In reality, it's workers essentially owning the company so they get all the value of their work. Investors getting money for basically putting numbers in a different column in a spreadsheet is not them honestly earning their keep. The wealthy exploit labor.
Whoa whoa whoa. Let's not limit our options prematurely.
You'd want to include your instance as part of your handle. I know, it's not as intuitive as a centralized service, but it is a requirement, especially when sharing the name elsewhere. So, your Lemmy account is chamrsdeluxe@lemmy.world. Folks on lemmy.world don't need that, but folks on another instance (like me) would. I can get it from clicking your username, but there's no way to figure it out for a different platform from here.
Sorry, didn't mean to word it as support. Just wording it as the reality of what they think.
I mean, that's probably the "problem." At least directly. The real problem is Twitch obviously, but it's not that Firefox isn't supported.
Edit: so I guess it's not so much that it's not infuriating, but I would give up Twitch before Firefox.
I don't want to get there and I have very little faith in the "there" even being that good. Generative AI can't really create anything that hasn't existed before. It can create things that look new but they're all based on things written before and things likely to be written. So it wouldn't even be that original. It's literally something like the Twitter or Facebook algorithms just giving you what it thinks would get reactions out of you.
I don't see how it doesn't violate free speech. Imagine needing the government's permission to talk to someone?
Edit: forgot a word
Somewhat of a tangent, but can we stop caring about the location where a product was made and focus solely on quality itself? Like, I bet the counterfeiters make a lot of money by producing quality cheese that taste just as good but are just made somewhere else.
The industry got too big and too reliant on subsidies. A reckoning will occur at some point, it's just a matter of whether it's announced ahead of time or surprises everyone.
Ok, but the number of people that think defederation is in anyway going to prevent this is fairly high.
To make it clear, the form is virtually the same as before with one additional question. It just asks you to state you read the note that is the same as the note in the post above. The application is virtually identical beyond that. But, the biggest difference, is like you said, an admin needs to approve it.
I mean, MSN is just a portal and I doubt there's much behind it besides what domains are popular. MSN "published" this the same way Google News published articles. It sounds better to say Microsoft did it, but it's from some news site called Race Track and it was simply scraped by MSN.
I'm skeptical of any claims when they're only touted by the one selling it. I'll wait to see if it actually gets implemented anywhere and is verified by a third party.
Sent messages "through Google"? Like Chat? Email? That's such an ambiguous statement.
E2EE has been a available approaching three years now. I'd imagine if they were lying and defrauding the population, someone would have found out by now. This announcement is just that it's on by default for everyone.
The GOP has gotten to the point that I can't even accept the "I believe in fiscal conservatism", or "I believe in old school conservatism", etc as an excuse for voting Republican. If you vote Republican, I simply lose faith in you as a person. There is no justification for supporting the hate that is pouring out of that party. Not even ignorance is a justification as it requires willful ignorance at this point. Maybe pre-GWB, but his re-election kind of was the death knell of any "acceptable" reason to vote GOP. Since then they've been literally saying the quiet parts out loud. They aren't pretending to be about anything else anymore. No one has an excuse to be fooled into thinking there's any good in the GOP.
You could try looking into it at all. Study doesn't use the term. But sure, create assumptions based on nothing. You know, like the folks that think homeless people will spend the money on something else.
The way he acted after he "angrily puts hand" on her is a lot more noteworthy to me. Like, without context it's hard to be sure. The hand thing first seems like a "I understand what you're saying" or a "I understand how you could think that way" and doesn't actually seem angry to me and on it's own is a bit of a nothing story. But the follow up? That's is definitely not appropriate behavior and intimidatingly forcing her back like that seems uncalled for. It also seems very fast? So I don't know if something happened to him before this? Not to say it excuses it, but there's a difference between someone who is displaying default behavior or someone who has just had a really awful day and doesn't normally act like this.
You mention the Google Play issue. That is an example of a disadvantage of closed source (Android is open, the Google Play Protect is not). Google Play Protect is essentially static code analysis. Think of it almost like antivirus. It tries to look for anomalies in the code itself. But it's not great. It can be tricked. And we don't even know how good it is or what kind of checks it does.
FOSS code has many people looking at it. You can compile it yourself. It's extremely unlikely for something that's remotely popular to have explicitly malicious code in it. Is it impossible? No. But just as you get folks deep diving video game code assets, you get people looking at code of many FOSS projects. Likely because they either want to contribute or make changes.
It comes down to it being easier to find malicious actors in FOSS. Its just more difficult to hide than closed source.
Why would you think closed source is any safer for any of the same reasons but worse? Closed source can just as easily (arguably more easily) steal your info (and many did but bury it in EULAs).
I mean, that's not even remotely related to the scenario in the article. It wasn't even related to the server. The admin was raided for an entirely different reason.
Yes, if you commit crimes you should be held responsible. No one said otherwise at any point. So, I guess thanks captain obvious?
Because everyone in the supply chain is being paid a fair wage and not being exploited.
Corporations: hey guys, let's unionize so the government doesn't exploit us.
Employees: hey, can we als...
Corporations: NO.
