So you mean to say the device made by the company known for harvesting userdata for advertising purposes... puts you at risk of being served more ads? Gee... who'd have seen that coming. Malicious or not, it's not really all that surprising.
Meh, more inane rules that result in random bans for silly reasons. I mean hey, you do you, but dont expect the general public wandering in from various wide feeds such as the equivalent of all/new to know, let alone respect those rules.
Oh boohoo, you make 6 figures and have to work some weekends. Get over yourselves or better yet, get a job outside of a cubicle. Every job is going to have it's good aspects and shitty aspects.
So would you rather work weekends, or up on a roof in the Florida sun?
This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn't be posting sensitive stuff to things they don't control, if at all.
Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we're heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.
Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.
The only news I care to hear about people wealthy enough to throw away others' year's salary for trends like this... is if and when they get punted square in the nuts.
Now would probably be a good time to mention private trackers. GGn usually has everything, isn't too hard to maintain good standing, and has a relatively decent community.
Welp, looks like we'll just have to focus on the fun stuff... like railguns and plasma weapons. Hopefully we all live long enough to see the future sci-fi keeps telling us about...
"Patent pending" and already picked up by a major manufacturer. So what this means is basically while it could be a good thing... the article is basically an advertisement for an upcoming product.
Not nearly as good a thing until it gets copied/the patent gets worked around. Also, zero explanation of what was actually done to accomplish this, so again, leaning more towards "this is just advertisement with extra steps".
It's like if the Craigslist guy was like "You know what, I think I'm going to open my own outdoor store". I like the little link to the page about his car. No bragging, no showing off... just a "Hey, this is my car. These are it's specifications. Check it out."
Could probably buy something from the site, and request the owner sell it to you only after going out for a beer together, and it'd probably work.
Yeah, that combination of his own self-importance, and his fanbase's seeming need to slobber all over his knob seems to result in a never-ending circlejerk about such a trash person. Him and that rapist Taint.
