Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.
To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.
YMMV. 🤷🏽♂️
It’s a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.
Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you’re not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄
I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…
Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?
This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.
It is.
I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…
Here we go again.
I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.
By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).
There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.
One business dying is not the death of a media type, FFS.
“This is illegal!”
Bung in the post
“This is legal… for a fee!”
If the punishment is a fine, it is targeted at those who can’t afford the brib—I mean fee.
I mean… what kind of person tells another that they’re having fun the wrong way? 🤷🏻♂️
Great video. (For those unaware, the video’s title is just copying the one used by a UK newspaper when the game was released).
Parallax was one of my favourite C64 games, and Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder were my favourite Amiga 500 games. Just amazing.
Growing up outside the UK, I was completely unaware of the Daily Star’s manufactroversy and the RBL’s IP-related histrionics.
The whole full circle thing aside, I’m delighted we’re still able to do this 🖕🏻 with the current protocols.
My choices > your shareholders.
As someone once said about director’s cuts with films: they’re a double-dip scam.
If the cinema and home media releases were the same, they’re just trying to make you buy the same thing twice by pretending that this is what the director really wanted it to be. The distributor really likes your credit card.
Having said that, Taylor Swift has something like 28 versions of the same album out and her stans are going crazy for it, treating them like they’re Pokemon.
Whatever floats your boat. 🤷♂️ Don’t let this old dude yuck your yum.
I definitely admire the integrity and the effort.
But, economically speaking, you get what you incentivise for: if you can game the system and get the click/eyeball ratio, then they’re going to do that.
Nice. But as a BitWarden user, it’s useless to me. I’ve never put all my eggs in one account basket.
Passwords on one service, MFA on another, email on yet another, etc.
If the SIM standard didn’t change every few years, presumably for the same reason CPU pin-count changes ($$$), this might be a great phone for international travel, protests/marches and such.
As for Snake: meh, it’s fun, but it’s easy enough to code for yourself… Angela Yu’s “100 Days of Code” taught me that. ;)
I think you’ve got the right approach, FWIW.
Not sure that big business favouritism is the intent, but it’s definitely more lucrative for them. Especially with Vimeo and other alternatives out there.
I remember when streaming took off in a big way - some on YT and others on justin.tv (later Twitch and now Amazon’s Twitch) - and I thought you’d have to be objectively bonkers to rely upon an opaque and ever-changing algorithm for your financial future. Some have gamed it well, but it’s pretty easy to see how they’ve survived - fake shock/reaction content, alt-light or worse content, polarising opinion, thinly-veiled advertorials, and so on.
First line of the article:
Two of the biggest deepfake pornography websites have now started blocking people trying to access them from the United Kingdom.
This isn’t (yet) the UK blocking access to them as part of a Great Firewall of Britain thing. This is the sites themselves blocking visitors from the UK, the same as porn sites for various US states.
As with porn sites, it’ll be using the geoIP tag of your IP address, which is notoriously unreliable, especially near geopolitical boundaries.
Using a VPN or even a third-party (rather than your ISP’s) DNS server will often get around them. However, doing so will eventually probably get you in trouble.
Another subscription model, you mean?
You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.
