@nixCraft Funny how it never occurs to them just to sell some of it.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Thursday, 01-Feb-2024 05:57:47 JST Nazo @arstechnica "Misleading." An interesting word for illegal false advertisement that they got called out on. They were lying. Lying is the word you're looking for.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Jan-2024 13:54:48 JST Nazo @itsfoss I've used Element as a Matrix instance a bit as a Discord alternative. Not much though. Most of what I use Discord for is people and servers who, sadly, still don't understand the need to switch. 😞 I haven't tested any of the audio/video streaming type stuff.

I'm sure the human will be fine.
BTW, there's a $10,000 monthly subscription fee for "heart operation" services.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Jan-2024 09:51:30 JST Nazo @arstechnica I thought this was already well known. I just fought really hard against Edge. For starters, it basically sets itself to some things no matter what you do -- essentially ignoring several user settings. For another, it's impossible to remove. Attempting to do so results with messages that it can't be removed. (Protip: it actually can.)
So far the best tool I've found to deal with it is MSEdgeRedirect: https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/
I'd rather permanently remove it.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Jan-2024 09:19:20 JST Nazo @arstechnica Wouldn't it be orders of magnitude easier, better, cheaper, more efficient, faster, and a host of other positive adectives to *NOT* use ChatGPT and just to make up a list of various poetry things it can use and select randomly from or something?
Did I mention literally better in every way? Yeah.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 31-Jan-2024 07:58:35 JST Nazo @nixCraft Honestly, the way Apple seems to want to use it it really feels like Google Glasses only a lot more expensive and exclusive and I kind of expect similar results despite the inevitable fanboyism.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Tuesday, 30-Jan-2024 04:37:18 JST Nazo @arstechnica Does anyone expect large corporations to maintain loyalty to anything but the bottom line on the quarterly reports? Anyone?

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 29-Jan-2024 09:53:42 JST Nazo @nixCraft It's amazing how much these companies keep coming back to this sort of thing. It often even results in class action lawsuits against them and it does very little to *actually* curtail cheating (in fact, some hackers have modified the rootkits themselves to do the cheating -- among other things) but opens up a whole can of worms in security, performance, and etc issues for users.
At this point it should really be straight up illegal.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 28-Jan-2024 08:34:23 JST Nazo @nixCraft Visualization can be important though to be fair. It can really help the human eye to differentiate things. The catch is finding that right balance between so minimal as to be virtually nonexistent and so bloated that you need a supercomputer to render the buttons.
I feel like this one strikes a fairly decent balance more towards the former than the latter.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 28-Jan-2024 06:25:03 JST Nazo @nixCraft This is definitely fraud. Someone should launch an investigation into this.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Sunday, 28-Jan-2024 06:12:55 JST Nazo @nixCraft As a user of Linux you must know the struggles FOSS often deal with on closed platforms. It's a real struggle to break into such platforms with the high costs and requirements.
This is the true value of opening it up, not that. Yeah Spotify is going to screw its artists. That is a separate issue, but then they might have grounds for a lawsuit, who knows. At least the next Spotify will start from a lower baseline, though that's small consolation or value on its own.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 11:22:28 JST Nazo @arstechnica Illegal that the NSA used it. But apparently not illegal that the companies like Meta collected it and sold it.
Maybe they're trying to solve the problem from the wrong end here... Privacy should be fundamental, not selective.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 03:37:10 JST Nazo @arstechnica It's sad that they've forgotten the key point of the Switch even having a screen was for portability. The normal Switch classic was already heavy enough I found it pretty uncomfortable for long sessions and ultimately had to get the Switch Lite and transfer saves back and forth between them with the classic now dedicated to docked mode. Then they come up with a bigger OLED model. Now they want to go bigger still?

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 02:46:46 JST Nazo @itsfoss Nice writeup. Actually, I think for a long time I've been conflating Snap and Flatpak. Oh geez.
I definitely would like to see more using these. Particularly Flatpak for obvious reasons among the two. I don't think everything should be encapsulated -- to inefficient for really complex things -- but we definitely need a lot more sandboxing/packaging.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 01:46:41 JST Nazo @arstechnica Time for a lot of people to start tricking their devices into thinking they are in another country just to get basic things that should be a fundamental right worldwide.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Saturday, 27-Jan-2024 01:43:16 JST Nazo @arstechnica Let's be 100% clear: Meta is only angry about this because the company found a way to extract the data for free that normally they sell to anyone and everyone.
Frankly, from our point of view, I would have to just laugh at this. They got a bit of a taste of their own medicine here. Data extracted from them without their permission. Too bad it's not their own personal data.
