ulbu··on Hegel, a universal property-based testing protocol and family of PBT libraries
120% agree. it is so, so tasteless
ulbu··on Map Gesture Controls - Control maps with your hands
so not only does it record what you say, not only does it snapshot what you watch, but it also snapshots what you do and how you look!
ulbu··on Škoda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that penetrates noise-cancelling headphones
i’m on airpods pro 3, and it’s far from producing noise-cancellation so powerful as to require such measures. perhaps if I’m listening to heavy music at ear-damaging levels. maybe my hearing is too sensitive.

hehe, belittle (to make smaller)
ulbu··on Copilot edited an ad into my PR
why not make it opt-in?

and I wonder if this opt-out applies to data we stored under your umbrella before having opted-out.

ulbu··on Why I love NixOS

ulbu··on France's aircraft carrier located in real time by Le Monde through fitness app
in this case: a distribution with hardened security for military purposes. for example, completely disabled location services, encrypted communications only, etc. + forbid use of unapproved mobile devices while on a sensitive mission.

ulbu··on TikTok's 'addictive design' found to be illegal in Europe

ulbu··on TikTok is now collecting more data about its users
i think you have a very idealised view of social media. have you been to a classroom recently?

it’s also meaningfully different in structure from tv. tv was 7-10 min of content and a couple of ads in between. and you grew annoyed by the ads. only toddlers were captivated. now most content is designed like ads were. and now they grow annoyed when outside it. and toddlers and older people are captivated.

ulbu··on A Social Filesystem
