favsq··on Every Day Is April Fool’s Day Now
Before, only people with resources and skills could afford to create fake content. Now everybody can. How is this not an advancement, taking into account you can't take away the ability to create fakes from people with resources?
favsq··on Meta wants EU users to apply for permission to opt out of data collection
You should configure your browser properly so it doesn't contact 3rd parties while you are browsing.
favsq··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
Is this coming from the same community that has always said that copyright has to be abolished?
favsq··on Italian privacy regulator bans ChatGPT
In what way does ChatGPT behave like they own the world?
favsq··on Meta wants EU users to apply for permission to opt out of data collection
Have you considered not using their services if you don't want to pay with your data in exchange for their computing power, data storage, engineering time, etc?
favsq··on The Twitter API is now effectively unmaintained
I tried that and it didn't work for me.
favsq··on AAD misconfiguration led to Bing.com results manipulation, account takeover
For that price I would just sell it to the Mossad.
favsq··on Dumb phones are on the rise in the U.S. as Gen Z looks to limit screen time
It makes sense because many specialised IoT appliances are 2G-only. At least that's the way it's happening in the EU. For example in Spain 3G will be phased out in 2025 while 2G will be phased out in 2030.

favsq··on Dumb phones are on the rise in the U.S. as Gen Z looks to limit screen time
Dumbphones are 4G. 4G voice service requires VoLTE but mobile operators have to whitelist phone models, the phone has to have the IMS in the internal database... all in all don't expect VoLTE to work. So voice downgrades to 3G. But 3G is being shut down by many operators and more to come. So voice downgrades to 2G, but 2G has a very low limit of concurrent calls, let's say a few dozen. So it's possible that your dumbphone won't work at all.
favsq··on Qt Creator 10 Released
>One of them is.

None of them I'd say. I'd argue moc is not C++

favsq··on The new Microsoft Teams, now in preview
I have seen the comparison video and I am unimpressed. A company with the legacy in software development that Microsoft has should be ashamed of how slow both versions load and how jittery everything seems.

It is 2023, how can they find it acceptable that loading is so slow that UI elements appear one by one? That's something I expect from a computer running Windows 95 on a 386DX.

favsq··on The EV Transition Is Harder Than Anyone Thinks
Or you can buy an ICE vehicle and charge to 100% in one minute. Your choice, really.
favsq··on China reports human case of H3N8 bird flu
>The US did not enter a new armed conflict in 2022.

It didn't?

favsq··on EU Commission doesn't understand what's written in its own chat control bill
The fact that something needs to be done does not mean that this needs to be done.
favsq··on Amazon starts flagging frequently returned products that you maybe shouldn’t buy
galansito?
favsq··on EU countries approve 2035 phaseout of CO2-emitting cars
oh we are in a covid lockdown. you can't get on this bus!

oh it says here you have emitted a lot of co2 this year. you can't rent this car until next year!

oh you were in an anti-goverment demonstration a few months ago so we know that you are headed to another one. you can't move from your 15-minute city!

you really think these are hypotheticals?

favsq··on EU countries approve 2035 phaseout of CO2-emitting cars
>Rental cars for the occasional exceptions, ownership for whoever has to use them regularly, that's still basically fine.

I'm really looking forward to the government knowing and controlling where I can go!

favsq··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
Most phones don't allow you to downgrade your version of the OS. Definitely iPhone doesn't.
favsq··on I don’t want a new phone, but I’m probably buying one
>Because consider how much time you spend trying to not harm the environment in your free time: shopping for sustainable products, bringing your reusable cup, recycling.

That's saying that people should share your views on politics, which is not rational.

favsq··on Apple Music Classical
applemusic.apple? why not music.apple? smh
favsq··on Can you buy the same ticket at a lower price if you buy it from another country?
You have been brainwashed into lowering your standard of life. You shouldn't be upset at others because of that - instead, work on yourself.
favsq··on WEKA Responds to Allegations Made by MinIO Regarding OSS Licensing
lol @ that second link. What a bunch of crooks.
favsq··on OBS Studio Lands AV1 and HEVC RTMP Streaming Support
That's not a good solution for... almost anybody. Most people would rather have the remote server recode, they would rather not have to open ports (with some connections you just can't), they would rather not expose their IP addresses, etc.

I can see your point but it has nothing to do with what platforms like Twitch are for.

favsq··on OBS Studio Lands AV1 and HEVC RTMP Streaming Support
>What if you have a low powered device that only has a H264 hardware decoder? What if you have two desktops that prefer AV1.

You recode on the server.

favsq··on Why a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS
And they are pathetic arguments too. Arguments for losers.
favsq··on Why a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS
No, there isn't, because if there was, people wouldn't use those apps. People may yak and yak about how they distrust the apps, but their actions say that they don't really distrust them.
favsq··on Why a European mobile operating system can’t challenge Android and iOS
The tech sector in Europe is really pathetic. The only arguments that European tech products use to support themselves are "it's European" and "protects your privacy" (as in, it follows the GDPR, as any other product from other countries would).

Just look at this article: it doesn't say "a third mobile OS can't challenge..." but "a European mobile OS can't challenge...". They aren't even shooting for "good" anymore, just "European"

favsq··on Windows needs to stop showing tabloid news
You can tell it's open source since it doesn't sell itself very well - not a single screenshot anywhere!

How exactly do you have to pronounce Apple to make it sound like asshole?
