It’s always been a very ugly game. I never expected that to change… but games are a lot more than graphics. Minecraft still looks like Minecraft, after all.

Something tells me that platform exclusivity is a major factor. And yet, they keep doing it.

this has less to do with using AI, more to do with sloppy code reviews and code quality enforcement.

They are the same picture.

You’ll need to cite your sources on that, though the APA style guide doesn’t have a citation format for “conservative grandparents with dementia.”

“…for a crime they were later they later exonerated of.”

Is The Independent a reputable news source? On the flip side, it’s clear this wasn’t written by AI!

It’s disappointing that all it took for a headline like “no one has ever so thoroughly dominated Donald Trump” was a question-dodging stereotypical politician. I was very frustrated by the entire debate. Trump’s word salad and Kamala’s deflection kung-fu… but I understand that I am not the only person in the US, so emotionally charged anecdotes instead of clear answers are what wins the day. But still…

Borderline?

There’s still DuckDuckGo, or Kagi if you are rich.

If I had any expendable income right now, I’d preorder for that stance alone.

PPA, or Privacy Preserving Attribution, is supposed to be a more-private alternative to cross-site tracking. Mozillas idea was: what if we could give advertisers metrics without compromising individuals privacy? Honestly, it doesn’t really impact you as a user or your privacy.

The problem is:

1. Sites will continue to use cross-site tracking techniques anyway.

2. This feature was enabled for everyone without their consent or giving them an option to choose.

You can disable it, though…

1. Settings > Privacy & Security > Website Advertising Preferences.

2. Uncheck “Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement”

No matter how you feel about Apple in general, Apple TV boxes are really the only way to go these days. Everything else is designed to aggressive sell to you whether you like it or not.

It’s either that or use something like a Raspberry Pi and settle for websites, which also have a habit of streaming you lower-quality content.

Almost like those systems were designed to be monopolistic and anti-competitive from the very beginning…

He’s the Bateman.

I am right there with you on all counts. I’m on openSUSE now and happy as a clam.

My only problem with Proton is that they don’t work with native mail clients (especially mobile). I’d go with FastMail personally, but I do see the appeal of Proton.

AI is a neat toy… but that’s all it is. It’s horrible at almost every real-world application it’s been forced into, and that’s before you wander into the whole shifting minefield of ethical concerns or consider how wildly untrustworthy they are.
