Tencent I’m aware of, there was quite a bit of controversy about them a few years back

huh, had no idea it was made by bytedance as well

They don’t think they’re the arbitrer of scraping dumbass, this is a service they’re selling to websites who don’t want AI scrapers taking adnatage of them.

Technically it’s only for AI stuff, so honestly it doesn’t matter if you’re doing other stuff

Do you want it to be?

The what

I’m not against basic advertising, it fulfills a very useful role, letting you know a product exists, with what functionality and pricing and so on. Of course that’s a minority of advertising these days

Blocker is already good

Can’t you add surround without dolby?

why yes, having an improper argument makes it easier to dismiss. This isn’t like a typo or missed word that you can say I’m trying to weasle out of talking with you, it’s a completely skewed perspective on the situation that makes it impossible for us discuss because we’d effectively be having completely different arguments.

I’m not sure why you think actively working with the IDF is a passive act, but not working with them is actively supporting terrorism, but it undermines any argument you’re trying to make

I kinda made that word up lmao, it’s not in the dictionary

If my company was helping perpetuate world hunger and I blockaded their office, I hope to God you wouldn’t be gleeful at me getting fired

I’m upset about the people supporting google’s right to make money over any ethics. I’m upset at the idea that employees should have no say in what the company they work for does. I’m upset at people who think this is a good thing.

The specific repercussions they faced is another matter. But no, I don’t think they were fair. Quote

Yeah, this was retaliation, like completely indiscriminate—people who had just walked by just to say hello and maybe talk to us for a little bit. They were fired. People who aren’t affiliated with No Tech For Apartheid at all, who just showed up and were interested in what was going on. And then security asked to see their badge and they were among the 28 fired.

They had to reach out after the fact to tell us, hey, I was impacted by this.

To be fair, if you read the interview with one of the workers, they tried many less disruptive approaches before turning to a sit in. I don’t they risked their jobs without reason.

The channels, which could also generate additional revenue through ad incorporation, would differ from free, ad-supported streaming alternative services like Pluto TV or Tubi, as they form part of a subscription service.

Welcome back cable TV I guess.

I don’t know even know what else to say, I’m just so tired of this

None of those standards are e2e

This is part of why is think stock android is now trash. I’ll stick to oem skins for now

I kinda expect my launcher to have access my app list, considering its main job is to launch apps

I mentioned smart launcher in another comment. It has all the features you mention. Not open source but privacy respecting

Smart Launcher. Worth the premium version. It has the alternate task feature you mentioned, it’s just on double tap instead of swipe.

Not open source, but they’re independent and respectful of privacy

What’s wrong with commenting on your own post?

Doesn’t that just become np++ then?

I don’t agree with him, but if you read the last appendix, this mf wrote half an essay on why he prefers to have basically no styling

While reviews note that you can run PUBG and other 3D games with decent performance on a Tecno Spark 8C, this doesn’t mean that the device is fast enough to read posts on modern text-centric social media platforms or modern text-centric web forums. While 40fps is achievable in PUBG, we can easily see less than 0.4fps when scrolling on these sites.

Original post is a much better read than this blogspam

Why they have momentum since they don’t have mass

I still haven’t figured out why

I got buttered popcorn, it’s better than chips for this

Depends what you mean by an “ad” but going by the usual definition no phones have ads except cheap chinese ones and some phones in amazon’s program.

AI is useful, we’re just tired of seeing it stuffed everywhere

It’s weird how ruthlessly it tears down battle.net for its interface, but doesn’t even mention it for steam

For the moment, yes, but unless twitter changes something, they should all eventually close

man you’re a weird fella

I think you underestimate the number of papers out there just to verify things that are already “known”, because it is worth formally verifying these things with lots of data and then having that data when you wanna move further.

People all over the entire English-speaking world were given this article to read. Sorry/not sorry, but I am outright offended at seeing what it contained

What do you mean given? The journalists simply wrote a summary of a study and put it on this site. No one is forcing you to read it.

Also, btw, did you go through the actual study? https://downloads.webis.de/publications/papers/bevendorff_2024a.pdf

As the study says, there has been very little formal research to verify this idea

Well yes of course, your browser is the client and it can tell the site whatever it wants. I’m assuming readers are using a standard browser that isn’t locked down.

All sites have access to your computer specs

That looks cool, uh do you know which apk to install? There’s like 20 on github
