AI is a monument to capitalist’s arrogance 🤣

I hope it gets some more attention. I joined in a Half Life Deatmatch session. Probably had been 20 years since last playing it.

There were a fare amount of AI related questions at the end. How do those apply to the C++ standard?

Does your cooperative have a website? I’m always interested to discover more co-ops.

They sit at the top of America’s most powerful companies.

I think by psychology they meant all the dark patterns and A/B testing manipulating the user 🤣

I just started watching it, on season 2. It is really good!

The title in English is “The Bridge” from 2011.

Interestingly, Afinum is also a German based private equity firm which owned majority shares of Threema since 2020.

Kind of strange to see the company bouncing around between owners, but hopefully it can remain a good product and not become enshittified.

This is a private equity firm? Was Threema doing financially bad?

The article didn’t mention anything about credit unions and how they compare to private banks.

One would think with a credit union the extractive capitalist goals wouldn’t be the main focus.

I don’t think two separate forms are needed for GDPR consent and ATT. Apps I worked on took the result from ATT and used that as the user consenting to be tracked in the app for GDPR.

I guess companies want to make it cumbersome as possible so user gets fatigued and just clicked through it mindlessly like with cookies banners on every website.

How was there double consent required?

Without ATT companies use dark patterns, opt-out, and over burdensome Privacy Policies or Terms of Service to get what they claim is consent.

When users get a straightforward choice to allow tracking or not, like with ATT, most don’t allow it.

I actually only played the original Call of Duty and the sequel on PC when they released 🤣

Proton isn’t emulating Windows, it implements Windows APIs on Linux. The code still executes natively on the CPU.

Fair point about Alpine.

The below site discusses if Android is a Linux distro or not.

I think for me the bigger reason is that the end Android product people are running is completely controlled by Google and has a lot of proprietary software added on top of AOSP.

Android is not a Linux distro, it uses the Linux kernel, but nothing else. Google specifically didn’t include all the GNU software normally found in a Linux distro.

The Substance is a critique on women being valued for their appearance/body/youth and how that value decreases over time, as they get older. It’s amazing Demi Moore played the lead role, as she experienced this directly with her own career.

Not for sure how this could be considered porn, pretty much the exact opposite.

It is a full blown Linux OS. You can switch out of the gaming specific mode/UI to a Linux desktop environment using KDE. There you can install your own software and use it like a normal computer.

The only limiting factor is that the root file system is read only by default (can be disabled). If you want to install system level packages, you can work around this by using something like distrobox.

Does it have any real chance of being voted into law? Who specifically will vote on the proposal?
