dragonmost··on Chrome extensions spying on users' browsing data
How does this safe guards against having the extension under a company and selling that company off. Still the same entity, different owners, different "incentives".
dragonmost··on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
Would this mean that a person that makes 50k/y most pay 20% of their income while a billion$ company still pays 10k? I don't think this helps with wealth inequality.
dragonmost··on Helldivers 2 devs slash install size from 154GB to 23GB
It's not even about graphics it's about load time on HDD. Which turns out didn't benefit all that much. I can see customers being much more annoyed at a longer load time than a big install size as this has become pretty common.
dragonmost··on Heroin addicts often seem normal
Why help people when you can just get rid of them instead /s
dragonmost··on My blue is your blue: different people's brains process colours in the same way
Is my blue your blue? Yes but only if we see the same blue.
dragonmost··on ReMarkable Paper Pro Move
Canada never includes taxes either so that's an extra 10% to 15% for most provinces.
dragonmost··on Why English doesn't use accents
I feel not being understood when pronunciation is off is more of a France french issue. You will be understood eitherway in Canada (given you speak with french Canadians). But I sometime have difficulty being understood by frenchmans, less so with other french speaking cultures
dragonmost··on Stop killing games and the industry response
This is already one of the proposed solutions. Although you would have to state a specific date as not to mislead consumers. I would then have to decide if paying 80$ for a game I won't be able to play in the next 5 years is worth it.
dragonmost··on Game publishers respond to Stop Killing Games claim it curtails developer choice
This might happen to so extent but a big part of the market is single player games, so those companies would also lose a large portion of their profit
dragonmost··on Game publishers respond to Stop Killing Games claim it curtails developer choice
But you won't be able to access some public servers for a game you paid for without the account.
dragonmost··on Why old games never die, but new ones do
Well now i gotta find a way to play this
dragonmost··on I'd rather read the prompt
Not only is that not true at all. There are many other jobs you can land other than performing with a formal music degree. Of course with the right experience you might get away with not getting that formal education but you open so many doors by going through school and getting the "useless" piece of paper.
dragonmost··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
I don't see how ruining the life of a teenager for having something that is believed to be dangerous through fear mongering but isn't does anything good to society. There are so many things he could get legally to make actual bombs to kill people.
dragonmost··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
Maybe you shouldn't get involved with bananas /s
dragonmost··on OpenAI o3 and o4-mini
But then how can you rely on it for things you don't know the answer to? The exercise just goes to show it still can't admit it doesn't know and lies instead.
dragonmost··on Gene-edited non-browning banana could cut food waste
The point is reducing waste without changing customer habits. People could also eat the brown banana but that's beside the point.
dragonmost··on It's time to make computing personal again
But the hardware availability and affordability gives them the opportunity to learn and experiment if they want to. Even tech-savvy people couldn't do that a decade or 2 ago. Not on a budget.
dragonmost··on Luigi Mangione's account has been renamed on Stack Overflow
Although I agree that drunk driving is unacceptable, I doubt those doing it intend on killing someone and thus not what parent is asking.
dragonmost··on Ask HN: Platform for senior devs to learn other programming languages?
I try not to use AI when learning a new language. I don't want to rely on premade answers to my problem. I prefer using the language's documentation and some light SO searching so I can figure it out on my own. AI is the last resort for me when learning something new.
dragonmost··on Feds: You Don't Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books
How would you deal with digital versions now? Publishers will just leave all the PC versions on steam and call it a day. Those will never expire as long as the publisher remains in business.
dragonmost··on Owe your banker £1k you are at his mercy; owe him £1m the position is reversed (2019)
One of them is believable at face value. Your comment doesn't add to the conversation without disproving parent's point.
dragonmost··on Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics
Can't find a reliable source right now but the report was from U.N's Gay McDougall
dragonmost··on Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics
Instead over 1 million of them are sent to concentration camps, abused and killed to harvest their organs. It's genocide eitherway. The issue isn't covered is really the difference here.
dragonmost··on Detroit went all in on big, expensive EVs nobody wants
Although I kind of agree, the Hummer is a premium product which they use as a marketing tool. It's the development platform for the Silverado which in the end will compete with the F-150.
dragonmost··on TikTok Stunt Motivates Lawmakers to Take on the App
It's not xenophobia it's purely about the communist party. They are wagging a cold war against the US with barely any response afraid that it will affect their economy. The concern with tiktok is not privacy it's China's control over a large part of the US population and they've more than proved it this time.
dragonmost··on America Is Missing Out on the Best Electric Cars
You can sell your cars much cheaper if you barely pay the workers and don't invest in safety equipment.
dragonmost··on Password may not contain: select, insert, update, delete, drop
The server shouldn't even be able to know that a password is being reused as it should be hashed and salted there is no situation where this would be acceptable
dragonmost··on Age verification is incompatible with the internet
Banning cell phones from prisons doesn't affect law abiding citizen. Forcing ID check is a privacy scandal in the making for what I'm my opinion is the government taking decisions on behalf of parents. Just make a gouvernement sanctionned DNS with basic instruction how to set it up or let ISP set it up for you. Good old awareness and education.
dragonmost··on Age verification is incompatible with the internet
If the kid is smart enough to get a "throwaway" device to circumvent parent supervision what makes you believe he won't be able to circumvent gouvernement internet oversight? Even China and North Korea can't prevent their citizens from doing so.
dragonmost··on Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 could send 240M PCs to landfills
Hardware does become obsolete at some point and people will get rid of them but the EOL of an operating system is not the reason for it. As long as people can boot up and do whatever they want to do with acceptable speed then most won't upgrade. Unless a big pop-up warns and nags users about it, I don't see Windows 10 PCs getting thrown out anytime soon.
