Exactly - the poor and working class are constantly told they need to evolve to keep up, why shouldn’t that apply to rich people too?

It’s great that the FCC can get back to doing it’s job properly now that its chair isn’t an industry plant

Yeah - this is what I was thinking. We all heard about people being unable to delete comments or Reddit keeping comments even after account deletions back during the first migration, so what stops them holding onto comment history - and what stops them using that to teach llms to discern poisoned data from real data as @pixxelkick said.

It’s gross, but also inevitable. If there’s an untapped niche to make money from, somebody’s going to try it – plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.

Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.

The rich Tories who stand to make bank off it being that way. Who would’ve thought it’s a bad idea to let the rich decide things for the masses.

It keeps looking more and more like the Tories are going to get their way as they keep knee-capping the NHS over and over again with a stagnant budget in the face of ever rising costs/demands.

They want to make the NHS shit to incentivise people going to private, so they can justifying privatising more and more of our NHS, until we end up looking like the US.

Honestly, fuck the Tories

Damn that’s both insanely impressive and terrifying at the same time!
I see one of those things chasing me in the street I’m praying to Gods I don’t even believe in

I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.

I genuinely have to wonder if Musk is intentionally trying to kill Xitter, because if he’s actually trying to recoup his “investment” he’s going about it completely the wrong way

I feel like in most cases if a product has such bad reviews that it kills the company that made it, there’s a good reason for that.

Of course there are exceptions, and it is expected that a reviewer do their due diligence to make sure they’re giving an honest, accurate, and reasonable review, but no company should be shielded for being told their product isn’t good if it isn’t.

Actually “rationalising the pipeline” would be getting rid of all the massively overpaid execs, rather than the people who actually make the Take-Two execs their money

In terms of online presence I think one has to be careful about becoming too private - at what point do you become so untrackable that even people you would like to find you (I.e. old friends) can’t anymore.

"…source code will only be supplied in one of three formats, they say: “a copy handwritten on papyrus, a slide-show of blurry screenshots recorded on a VHS tape, or that I dictate it to you personally over the phone.”

Technically speaking you could get your hands on the code if you were determined enough haha

Imagine spending billions to get beat by a Commodore64

Because if they pay out, they make less money, far cheaper to get you to give up trying - which is what a lot of people will do because it’s designed to be an exhausting system.

Oh great they get to collect and make money off of “anonymous technical data” for years, and their punishment for doing all that is to delete the data, and swear they won’t collect anymore of it for the next few years??

They already made their money off of people’s data! This isn’t a meaningful punishment, hell it’s barely a slap on the wrist.

I’d love to chance to play a bunch of nostalgic titles - just off the top of my head I’d play DOOM, Uplink, Darwinia, Morrowind, and my trashy favourite from that era Themepark world. There are definitely more if I had time to think about it.

I wouldn’t know anything about that - but it certainly sounds interesting, including what @cynar said
