Yes and I don't think that's okay.

This is misinformation. They added the login requirement for their Generative AI and the actual notepad doesn't require a login. But I guess we're ragebaiting today.

Some of us played both Atari and computer games. Most of the retro games I still play are DOS games and there was quite a following. My very first game console was the PS2 (technically the Atari 2600 belonged to my dad). My first Nintendo system was the Switch. I've played the NES, SNES, PS1, game cube, and Sega consoles but usually at a friend or relatives house, so none of those games were ones I got particularly invested in or otherwise attached to. We also had arcades back then and I spent a lot of time there as a small child with my older brothers. We went to computer shows, and there were demos and shareware and freeware games all over the place.

Just because some systems had the advantage of being widespread doesn't mean they were the only way to play.

Distractions. There are a lot of them and most of us are replying to the distractions with emotional messages and Hitler/nazi-musk memes instead of doing our due diligence to find out what's going on and how we can stop it. The memes, they do nothing but give us the sense of camaraderie without direction or objective. And any time you tell the people making them that, they get mad and block you or downvote you.

Or they just didn't know how. Which is a distinct possibility. Some devices these days even let you share the Wi-Fi password through QR code or similar. So you don't have to enter it until every device.

I don't understand why they're considering a ban. People should be changing the default password on their router. If they aren't and they leak information that isn't theirs, tough shit, fine them. If they leak their own information, let them deal with the consequences.

You know, a Private company shouldn't be able to target these people at all with anything, because to do so means somewhere they have a list of those people and anonymized or not, that's not okay.

Jack Black. Next question.

The point is that while there are definitely downsides, there are also fairly painless ways to use fingerprint blocking on reputable browsers, and that it doesn't "break half the internet" it just might have a slight learning curve. Just because something isn't just plug it in and forget doesn't mean it doesn't work or isn't accessible.

Didn't know this was a thing. Can't remember the last time I bought anything from Starbucks. But it's dumb and wasteful of people's time, including baristas.

Sweeping Cyber Security Order (www.theregister.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by atrielienz@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world
 

The sweeping directive, signed Thursday, covers a range of topics including securing federal communications networks against foreign snoops, issuing tougher sanctions for ransomware gangs, requiring software providers to develop more secure products, and using AI to boost America's cyber defense capabilities, among others.

 

"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"

Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
