    @IceWolf consent to search is actually a complex problem that we've debated on fedi multiple times over the years.

    Fedi was never designed to stop people from searching, or viewed searching from instances as bad. You should have been told that when you joined - the fact you weren't informed is the problem.

    I agree that freely searchable posts can be easily abused for harassment and that this is a bad thing - but the fact is that ActivityPub (Fedi's protocol) was never designed with privacy in mind. The only consent the protocol considers is your clicking the Post button, with the knowledge that once the post gets out there - it's out of your hands.

    For a long time we couldn't even edit or delete our posts - this was only added later and the implementation is not reliable and probably never will be due to the very nature of the system.

    The creators of this system never saw search as a bad thing. Which is why almost every Fedi server out there - with the glaring exception of Mastodon - feature some kind of search capabilities.

    I think Mastodon's approach of pretending the Fediverse is private and secure is the real problem here - it gave users the false impression that their posts are private, while they are not. It pretends to have privacy settings and tools, but they are barely effective. The truth is, Mastodon is misleading its users. ActivityPub is not private. It never been.

    So in conclusion, do I like having my posts searchable? Not really.

    But I know that this system doesn't mind searches, and has no privacy tools. So I am fully aware that all of my posts will be fully exposed and treat them as such.

    If I want to post something in private... I do it elsewhere.

    HN comment thread about Mastodon: guy talking about the early 00's chats and forums as barely thriving and only being used by a few people until Facebook came and brought the mainstream online.

    Another answers that the net was already thriving for him back then. He gets dismissed with "Many of us software devs are a different sort".

    Dude. It was everyone from children to soccer moms to my grandma. The primary draw at the time was email and once they got that they also visited forums and set up terrible GeoCities homepages about their cat. Yahoo! was exploding, Amazon was starting, pets.com was collapsing and people wouldn't shut up about eBay.

    Non-techies were very much online in the 00's and they didn't need a centralized social network to do it.

    It's so weird go see recent history being rewritten like that, this is barely 20 years ago.

    @coolboymew yeah that's definitely a clone, I had a similar game on my XT back in the 80's :blobsmilesweat2:

    I'm pretty sure that one was also a clone, probably of an arcade game.

    @lain you should, there's like two remasters available for you to choose from.

    One's a widescreen DVD release based on the fact they actually filmed the show in widescreen format, but the CG footage was 4:3 so that part's zoomed in and cropped all weird.

    The second's a recent remaster that keeps everything in 4:3 but using new HD scans of the original film stock, so it's in bluray quality. Forgot what they did with the CG there but it wasn't awful.

    A vlogger is confused over why the security cameras in the System Shock 1 remake don't alert enemies when they spot you.

    The reason is that SHODAN already knows you are there, and she knows where you're going.

    Bought a #Nokia 2720 as fallback for when my smartphone has issues.

    Already kinda regretting it since it turns out that I can't change the input language while typing - e.g. if I'm typing something in my language and want to add something in English, I can't.

    Gotta exit the screen, head to Settings, pick English as my input language and then head back to the other screen and find out that the other stuff I wrote is gone because that's not how KaiOS does things.

    My old 90's Nokia phone could do it, but this thing can't.

    I know this isn't really Nokia (it's actually HMD Global using the brand name) but seriously, what the heck?

    Okay so investigated further and it actually looks like I can pick multiple languages in the Input menu, and the language swap key (the Hash sign) actually lets me switch between English, English caps, numeric... and my language.

    Except choosing that still gives me English. And the official support claims this feature doesn't exist.

    So, either HMD Global support doesn't know how the phone works, or the feature is broken and they just gave up. Either way, this doesn't look good. :blobcatgooglytrash:

    The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.

    The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.

    People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.

    If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.
