helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What's your biggest gamer achievement?

Yup, looking back it was definitly a dick move, but it was fun.

Also it was a legitamite attempt, the boss was almost dead...just not dead of enough two tanks with dungeon finder gear could finish the job.

helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in What's your biggest gamer achievement?

In wow, I was a death knight gnome in a raid (dungeon finder so it was easy mode). I think it was one of the early warlords of dreanor raids.
Anyways 95% of group wiped, but me and the other tank (a paladin) plus a healer (revived with gnomish army knife - which has a huge chance of failure) managed to survive for what felt like 5 minutes. Really upset the dead folks who just wanted us to wipe and start again.

Unfortuanlty we didn't have enough DPS and hit the beserk timer and that was the end of that.

I also loved using the multi-target death grip skill, normally it sucks every mob to your target, great for CC.

I read you can set your self as target with a macro, so I'd run into the middle of a room and yank everything to me in one go. Super handy when mobs came in from behind and targeted the healer - I just sucked them all in into the stabbing party.

helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in iOS keyboards that don't censor "bad words"

I like Typefinity. (I have only used it on iPad, don't own an iPhone)

A no nonsense ios keyboard with a number row!

Privacy wise, they claim to not collect anything.
It's not FOSS and also not free. One time $5. 100% worth it.

There's not too much visual customization, but a few themes that include dark, light and few colorful themes.
For keyboard settings, there's everything you'd expect from a keyboard - not too much, but enough to disable things you might not want like click sounds and adjust autocorrect.

For the part you asked about;
Playing around with swipe, it doesn't seem to work with curse words.

Honestly, thats probably a good thing. Its better for you and these keybaords' PR to lean on the side of caution (It could also be requirement from Apple - idk)
You wouldn't want it to mistake "the duck sits on the birch log" for "the fuck shits on the bitch log".

Manually typing out bad words has no issues with autocorrection set to max. I normally leave it on "suggestions only" and just use the autofill suggestions as I type big words.
Overall the swipe works, I don't normally use it, but I was able to "swipe" a few simple sentences. I can't give you a definitivite answer to "is it good", I type everything like a caveman.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

Music streaming has proven this for years now, all the major brands have massive collections that make its super easy to pay and listen to just about anything.

Early Netflix proved this when everything was readily available for an affordable pricre.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos

This sounds like a great spot for scammers to flood for maximum visabilty. It'll be too much effort to moderate, so creators will just disable them (if they can) or this will be shut down in about (checks YouTube's history of dealling with scammers) 3.5 years.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Share Your Story: The Impact of Losing Access to 500,000 Books

Would a compromise be to simply archive them but not make them freely availible until they enter public domain.

For more current book; if they are out of print then they can be made availbe for limited loan, like any other digital library.
If a digital copy is avalible for purchase from the original publisher/author, than its not fair game. Unless they come to an agreement, perhaps add supported for freely accessing a book otherwise available for purchase.

If they got rid of the download option, it would make it much more difficult to just use a DRM stripping tool (a friend told me about these terrible pirating tools, I certently don't know how to use then).
A lot of digital libraies have a dedicated app that you can only view content from. Utilize whatever anti-screen capture systems banks and Netflix use to protect from simply taking screen shots. Make is easier to access the books legitimatly than it is to pirate them.

Lastly, don't just make everything freely availible next time there's a world crisis.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Microsoft addresses Windows Recall backlash, promises to fix security issues and make it opt-in

This raises an excellent point not considered. This goes for all texts as well if the other person uses the "your phone" app. Discord, matrix, signal, telegram etc are all compromised by this existing on a system.

Will my browser's "private mode" be respected or it is going to store every inappropriate thing I search?

Are password managers safe? How about bank security questions? How often are those actaully obfuscated. The last 4 digits of social security numbers are usually unobfuscated, which is also what a lot of intuitions (stupidly) use to verify your ID over the phone. What if I want to look at the PDF of my tax documents?

What if my HR manager has this enabled and starts viewing PDFs containing private information about employees, payroll data, finances and whatever else is sellable on the dark web.

How about govermnet data? Sure maybe the pentagon IT staff will completely block it, but what about local gov committee ABC that's collecting voter information?

That type of data is valuable enough that it will be targeted regardless of what protection MS attempts. Based on the fact they didnt bother encytping the data from the start, my faith is low.

The implications of this are insane.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

This isn't new at all. Apple has been consistent with long term updates for a while.

iPhones have been getting at least 5 major annual updates sense the iPhone 4. The average is 6 updates.

If anything, it gets to a point where the old hardware can barley handle the newer OS.

This is the equivalent of them promising to be called Apple in 5 years - it changes absolutly nothing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history

Edit: thinking about it, this gives them an excuse to reduce the number of years they support phones. Instead of 6-7, can we now expect that to become only 5 years?

This could be a huge loss disguised as a win

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in In case you missed it: Bank info-stealing malware found in 90+ Android apps with 5.5M installs

Am I just missing it, or is there no list of of these infected apps on the posted article or the reference the article links to.
To me, that is the most important information.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Ask Lemmy in Should I stick to the Fediverse or mainstream media?

Is this true? Where's your source?

helpImTrappedOnline , (edited ) to Technology in Microsoft shot real lasers through a window to make Windows 10's wallpaper — surprisingly the iconic art wasn't computer generated

Not sure about the future of WSL, but WSA (android) has been discontinued.

It's not really a suprise seeing as they partnered with Amazon for the app store, no side load support and as far as I know they didn't really mention it anywhere in the actuall OS, so few knew about it.

(Oh and when I tried it, getting it to work for just one app took way more effort than it should have)

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

Nothing will.
They want to see LTT fail because they made a few bad mistakes.
These are the same people on the relationship forms who say "break up" at the slightest negative.

You mean the ones that failed multiple model years because the ribbon was too short?

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in FBI Arrests Man For Generating AI Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

Basically if I want to create ...
(I'll use a different example for obvious reasons, but I'm sure you could apply it to the topic)

... "an image of a miniature denium airjet with Taylor Swift's face on the side of it", the AI generators can despite no such thing existing in the training data.
It may take multiple attempts and effort with the text prompt to get exactly what you're looking for, but you could eventually get a convincing image.

AI takes loads of preexisting data on airplanes, T.Swift, and denium to combine it all into something new.

helpImTrappedOnline , to Technology in FBI Arrests Man For Generating AI Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

Sure is. I report the ones I come across as clickbait or missleading title, explaining the parts left out...such as this one where those 7 words change the story completely.

Whoever made that headline should feel ashamed for victimizing a grommer.
