ujkhsjkdhf234··on Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee
Not if all insurance providers are playing this game. Like algorithmic rent fixing currently happening.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee
Sure but you're talking about apples and oranges. These are two different problems.

> And even if it does leak, how are my grocery shopping habits being published really going to negatively impact me?

Alone? Not much. It's about aggregating as many data points as possible. Your grocery is just one of those.

ujkhsjkdhf234··on Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee
Fitness and calorie tracker, ebook reader, notes app (Android doesn't have a good notes app built into the OS), music player app for music I have locally on my phone, and an app that configures my bluetooth headphones.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee
People not knowing how to communicate to other people is the core of all problems.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Meta bypassed Apple privacy protections, claims former employee
I can't tell if you are deliberately being obtuse but they are talking about apps overall and not Meta's apps. Many apps use Facebooks SDK because of the Facebook Pixel for tracking and advertisement. Web apps don't prevent that and again, cannot be easily run offline so I'll stick with my native apps.

I like my native apps and I'm not a fan of PWAs because they cannot be made to easily run offline.

Most people are not the Hacker News types who know this. The Facebook movie is the closest the average person has come to knowing how evil this company is.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on New Mexico is first state in US to offer universal child care
I don't know where you live but where I live, the cost of daycare is extremely high and there is a waitlist on most places.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on New Mexico is first state in US to offer universal child care
You aren't wrong but calling it being "Student #642 in a government childcare facility" the wrong way of looking at it. Children grow up best when they are allowed to play with other children. Modern society robs kids of that and helicopter parents are bad for society.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on China is eating the world
This still encapsulates western ideals. ICE is just grabbing people who look brown off the streets.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Fossjobs: A job board for Free and Open Source jobs
> but most FOSS software has a cookie-licking issue.

A what issue?

ujkhsjkdhf234··on House to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias
Legally? As if Republicans care about legality.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on The US Department of Agriculture Bans Support for Renewables
I don't think ban is the right word for this? The federal government will no longer be funding renewables on farmland which is stupid but not a ban.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on AI crawlers, fetchers are blowing up websites; Meta, OpenAI are worst offenders
Cloudflare exists because people can't be good stewards of the internet.

> This isn't AI damaging anything. This is corporations damaging things

This is the guns don't kill people, people kill people argument. The problem with crawlers is about 10x worse than it was previously because of AI and their hunger for data.

ujkhsjkdhf234··on Notion releases offline mode
You need to get out of your bubble. Notion is so much more popular than Obsidian you cannot imagine. My dentist office uses Notion for example. Migrating out of Notion is also very difficult and for most people it isn't worth the hassle. Obsidian not being web based is also a con not a pro to the average person. The number of people leaving Notion for Obsidian is a rounding error.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Obsidian Bases
SiYuan doesn't have canvas. Obsidian Canvas is great for diagrams.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on That viral video of a 'deactivated' Tesla Cybertruck is a fake
You're the one dancing around the topic instead of just stating what you think outright.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on That viral video of a 'deactivated' Tesla Cybertruck is a fake
Employees misbehaving or corporate sabotage as you seem to be implying doesn't make it not a Tesla issue. Employees at Tesla misbehaving means that Tesla isn't at fault for any of the issues listed is a ridiculous statement.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Fairness is what the powerful 'can get away with' study shows
There isn't.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Open hardware desktop 3D printing is dead?
Now? The lower and middle class in the US has been dealing with this for decades.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Open hardware desktop 3D printing is dead?
This was already reality before LLMs. If you put a successful game on any app store, expect Chinese and Korean clones of it within 2 weeks.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Open hardware desktop 3D printing is dead?
California Forever is a weird network state I wouldn't wish to be a part of.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on White House loyalty rating for companies
Yes? I'm surprised that the idea the Chinese government is fascist is a controversial one. China is easily a totalitarian government.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on That viral video of a 'deactivated' Tesla Cybertruck is a fake
Whenever you finish hovering above all of us I would love an explanation but sure.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on AI is already replacing thousands of jobs per month, report finds
How many of these jobs will stay gone? I feel like I've seen this over and over where a new advancement causes job loss then management realizes it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and need to hire again.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on That viral video of a 'deactivated' Tesla Cybertruck is a fake
Everyone else is giving you examples as to why you have to be delusional to believe this so I'm not going to pile on but I've seen no evidence that Tesla and Musk are good in regards to handling privacy and user data but I've seen many examples that they are bad with it.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on That viral video of a 'deactivated' Tesla Cybertruck is a fake
This is not what they are saying.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Japan's largest paper, Yomiuri Shimbun, sues Perplexity for copyright violations
Before someone mentions Japan effectively making all data fair use for AI training, Japan specifically forbids direct recreation which is what this lawsuit is about.
ujkhsjkdhf234··on Building Bluesky comments for my blog
I think BlueSky should lean into this and operate as a domain registrar like Squarespace does.
