At this point I can't even blame twitter. If after everything they are doing, you still stay on twitter, the only one to blame for whatever happens to your data, is you.

I love how they gave a TL;DR right at the beginning of the article, it made me stay and read the rest out of respect for the author.

Google lives of the ads (among the things), of course a browser they develop is going to screw the add-ons that block ads. Solution: avoid google if you want an ad-free internet.

Edit: typo

The amount of creativity in the indie world is insane. It's been a lot of years since I last played a AAA game because of this.

Have you ever played as a crow? There's an indie game for that.

Have you ever played a shooter in which you literally shoot people trendy clothes instead of bullets?

The creativity is there, you just won't find it in your typical AAA, because that game's only goal is to milk your wallet.

There's no collapse of creativity. There's just a collapse of the industry that now is in the hands of shareholders whose only goal is profit.

As soon as your company gets controlled by those, your creativity becomes a need to make another soulless "blockbuster".

Look at the indie world instead. There is creativity, it's just incompatible with the AAA business model.

Funny. I was in a group of people (was, in past tense) that made fun of me because I was the first one to change minds if new evidence showed that I was wrong. They saw it as a weakness, as if my ideas were wrong because I was able to change them if I was proved wrong.

I guess this helps explain why I "was" and not "am" a part of that group anymore.

To sum it up: twitter's business is so irrelevant that they don't qualify to be subject to the DMA.

Ketamine Karen must be hurting after such a burn.

Important note: We are talking about the Digital Markets Act, not to be confused with the Digital Services Act.

Honestly, I am not very talkative. I am bad at small talk so I rarely speak unless asked directly about something specific.

Because of this, I believe that if someone asks me about something, it's because they are interested in what I have to say about it.

To answer your question, I will not go to tell someone about my last trip unless they ask me about it because I consider that it's not that interesting to the others if (like I do) they are not asking about it.

I am on the spectrum. And no, i don't. And I don't think of it as being an asshole, I simply don't care about it because it just is something unimportant. I mean, if something bad happened to them, I'll be the first one to ask, but if they are telling me how nice was their trip it's like... well, yeah? It's expected. You make a trip to have a good time, so of course you had a good time.

I guess i consider it innecessary because is the expected outcome.

With that said, I will listen to what they say and remember it, but that doesn't mean I find it interesting unless there is something remarkable about it.

It was a supermarket. There was also GMO-free salt. I think it was a marketing stunt, but you never know, I guess you could find genetically altered salt if you searched hard enough?

I've seen gluten-free salt.

SALT.

Sometimes is useful info, sometimes a marketing stunt.

Seriously, salt.

Onions. Damn onions. I will puke if I feel a piece of onion in my mouth. There are other foods, but onion is the worst for me. I can understand those folks.

Disagree. Serious candidate for aneurysm posting.

Don't forget the 5G exposition after the boosters to activate them, otherwise they give just cancer without the fun superpowers.

Thanks for the reply. Makes everything easier to understand. I guess we're going to see a boom in vpn subs in the next months thanks to soccer mafia.

Sounds to me that, in practice, rights holders will notify providers of suspected infringement, triggering their requirement to report to authorities, and it goes from there.

Yes. You are right. But if hypothethically my ip gets somehow reported, it could trigger this "awareness". Can proton know what I'm browsing?

They have power all right. It's quite simple: tell the nazi that he's on his own. That's it. The moment the nazi loses his "I'll call dad" card, we'll see how well he goes in the territory.

It's astounding the amount of buzzwords the tech bros will use every time they try to sell us some new AI bullshit.

A combination of things:

First, misinformation travels at light speed thanks to the lack of control in social media and internet.

Then, we have a generational crisis that is causing a strong lack of confidence in the actual political class because they are seen as incapable of resolving our generation issues.

Add to this that there is the perception of a strong migration problem (pushed by the far right).

The far right capitalizes on all of the above.

Also, it is treated like a cult by its followers because they thrive in environments where the intelligence is not required (it's actually encouraged to not be intelligent and critical thinker).

The far right is also known to be populist, and they don't need to be held accountable for their lies because their followers act as a cult.

If you sum this all up, you get our situation: young people voting fascism even more than boomers (look at Germany's last election).

It really is scary.

I do have as many too at work.

I use one VM for each iteration of my automation software. Our factory has machines ranging from the 90s to present day, and they use different software environments to be programmed. In order to minimize the risk of data loss, we have one virtual machine with every software environment, that way if one gets corrupted, the damage is contained. It also makes them easier to export to new computers when we need to replace ours.
