p0w3n3d··on Just because a game is on disc doesn't mean it will work in the future

p0w3n3d··on Physical disc production ending in Jan 2028 for new games on PlayStation

p0w3n3d··on ESA declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal' in StopKillingGames hearing
I wonder what it's like: opening one's mouth and hearing things being said, without a moment of thinking before.

Maybe it's like riding a talk-bus I suspect: when you see the bus turning the wrong corner, you realise you're on a looong way back home suddenly, because the next stop is the nowhere station.

p0w3n3d··on American Homeowners Are One Disaster Away from Losing Everything
This article states that poor people cannot afford insurance. Is this a portal about insurance? Maybe they could help lower the cost for those in need?
p0w3n3d··on The KIDS Act would require age checks to get online
Tbh I must admit that while I observe my children, any message on social media (especially Whatsapp) attracts so much attention, they are unable to continue with their normal chores. On the other hand I remember myself procrastinating while watching the TV in their age, which no longer happens as we have no TV. The difference is that anything watched on TV was public, you would need to eject your parents from home somehow, now you can just take your private tv to the other room, and watch horrible things.

This procrastination is why my children have 30mins + 1h bonus, if they do their chores, of the phone limit every day. This is done via family link. There is an exemption to music on Spotify, however recently I noticed they are watching (not listening) to podcasts on Spotify too.

But still this is managed by me on our local ecosystem. It's not government thing. That's super creepy when government says (read in your mind or aloud with a sleazy guy's whisper)

  "hey, your kids are unsafe, better allow me read all their and yours communication. Ah and please give me your id so I can protect your children more"

p0w3n3d··on US AI stock sell-off shakes markets from Wall Street to Asia
Tbh I am unable to find any proving stocks' charts. Anthropic stays flat, openAi lost a little bit, etc. When I read 'sell-off' and 'shakes' I was imagining it differently

p0w3n3d··on Signs you're a dangerous terrorist: using Signal, moving zines
In Poland during the Soviet occupation (1945-1989) people were beaten and jailed for having a copier that would be used for copying magazines and brochures
p0w3n3d··on Will It Mythos?
I've read opinions that this a speculation to raise the Anthropic's value. They are known to say "horrific things" and personification of the AI they are delivering. It sometimes sounds unprofessional even.

This line of communication might have even influenced the courts in the case of copyright violation ("it is not copyright violation if a person learned something and it knows it and thinks of it"). However algorithm does not think. If I took your book and lossy encrypted it, and then unencrypted it while filling the broken words, am I violating your copyright or not?

p0w3n3d··on UK Home Office launches £75M 'PoliceAI' to capitalise on artificial intelligence
You see, everything in tech is for the child protection and citizen's safety unless the govt guys start using it for crowd control, sentiment monitoring and social credit score. You went to a protest? -40 social credit. You got stabbed? Too bad, the perpetrator had their face covered. Also you're dead now, so better safety would be guaranteed by installing automated gun turrets next time.
