I don’t use macbooks very often because I don’t own one, but whenever I do I can’t believe that the trackpad doesn’t actually move. Whatever combination of pressure sensitivity and haptics they have crammed in there is nothing short of amazing.

From that article it looks like this is supposed to be a joke and you’re not actually supposed to hold such a position unironically.

Why is it not surprising? Are people with anime profile pics more gullible or ignorant than the average person?

We already have tools to rank titles and if it is AI slop, a low effort copycat game, the ratings will reflect this regardless of the tech that may or may not have been used.

It is not enough for me. I want to know if AI was involved so that I can avoid it even if it is good.

I’ll try to exercise my “assume good faith” muscle here because I think the above poster is at least genuine about what they are posting: I believe this poster wishes that the people who oppose the proliferation of AI at the cost of human connection would “put their money where their mouth is” by reaching out to the people that this poster feels are unfairly ignored.

Yep. I thought $100 for 8TB was expensive when I checked earlier this year and now the cheapest one is $140. Fuck 😂

The above post only applies for HTTPS traffic using a third party secure DNS - traditional P2P torrenting will leak what you are downloading to your peers. There are anonymous P2P networks like I2P that (allegedly) solve this issue, but it is not widely adopted.

so there’s an optimization problem in there somewhere

The optimization problem is actually the point of the study, encoded as PPD, which represents the density of a display’s pixel per degree of your eye’s field of vision. It says that any more than 53-94 PPD is imperceptible to most. You can see if your display makes the cutoff if you have the viewing distance and screen size here:

EU is a democracy with different opinions, and when a small group of facists tries to read your chats, it does not represent the EU opinion.

But the whole media got you thinking so. Proving even on Lemmy, you and me are extremly prone to propaganda.

This is what the EU democracy opinion was as of July 2024 BTW, before the “media got to you”:

Crypto is just taking it to yet another new level saying we don’t even need a government to back it anymore we’ll just do math and have the math say it has value. The scam is the same in all cases.

Unless you lean towards anarchist persuasions, that’s a very significant & fundamental difference.

TLS handles security for the email sent from your device until it reaches the server, and various HIPAA compliance rules mandates security for that data once it reaches that server. It’s not alarmingly less secure than other HIPAA compliant methods of communication, unless the email provider on your end has poor support for TLS emails.

Editing to include the disclaimer that this is for communications sent from your end. For communications sent from their end, this protection doesn’t necessarily apply (it depends on your email provider at that point, which may not be compliant), so for them to send you protected info via e-mail, they usually ask for your consent first, and usually the e-mail is just a link to a portal where you can access that information more securely.

HIPAA prevents providers from handling your information insecurely, but I don’t believe there is any rule that prevents you from handling your own information insecurely. You are allowed to refuse if you do not feel comfortable with a method of communication of course.

Not just your two android apps, any program on your system that is aware of your waydroid installation could potentially use it as a path to escalate themselves to root, which is generally regarded as a bad outcome. If you don’t care about that kind of thing, or don’t think that could ever happen to you, that’s certainly within your rights to hold such a viewpoint.

Whenever you see a linux phone advertise both security and android app support, you should be wary, since it’s likely waydroid or a waydroid fork, and their design goal of running android in a container instead of a VM has lead to some interesting security decisions.

Since OneUI 8.0.

Well, until we abolish capitalism, that’s the state of things.

I can see that things are the way things are. Accepting it is a different matter.

Unless you feel like Nazis MUST be freely given access to everything too?

To me, the “access” that I am referring to (the interface with which you gain access to a service) and that “access” (your behavior once you have gained access to a service) are different topics. The same distinction can be made with the concern over DoS attacks mentioned earlier in the thread. The user’s behavior of overwhelming a site’s traffic is the root concern, not the interface that the user is connecting with.

How “open” a website is, is up to the owner, and that’s all.

As someone who registered this account on this platform in response to Reddit’s API restrictions, it would be hypocritical of me to accept such a belief.

DoS attacks are already a crime, so of course the need for some kind of solution is clear. But any proposal that gatekeeps the internet and restricts the freedoms with which the user can interact with it is no solution at all. To me, the openness of the web shouldn’t be something that people just consider, or are amenable to. It should be the foundation in which all reasonable proposals should consider as a principle truth.

Nah, that would also mean using Newpipe, YoutubeDL, Revanced, and Tachiyomi would be a crime, and it would only take the re-introduction of WEI to extend that criminalization to the rest of the web ecosystem. It would be extremely shortsighted and foolish of me to cheer on the criminalization of user spoofing and browser automation because of this.
