I hate to side with big tech, but they're not wrong...
DNS poisoning is ineffective when pirate sites can just change domains, and users can just change DNS provider or use a VPN. It's a cat and mouse race that'll be ultimately impossible to win
The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.
Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.
Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It's all of Win10's worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it's own bullshit and spyware on top
Congratulations to Suigi getting the quadfecta!
After watching Karl's videos on Suigi's 120 and 70 star records, I knew it only had to be a matter of time until he'd conquer them all.
Instead of focusing on external threats and concerns, legal streaming platforms themselves could make the most progress by changing their pricing.
Among all self-proclaimed Norwegian pirates, the most common reasons to stop were more affordable legal streaming services (41%) and the availability of a broader range of content per service (35%).
It's almost like people don't like paying more and more for streaming services with less and less shows on them, when the pirates will offer you everything in one much smaller subscription (if not for free).
In addition, analyses with 2,969 false uniform resource locators revealed higher shares and, hence, SwoCs [Shares without Clicks] by conservatives (76.94%) than liberals (14.25%), probably because, in our dataset, the vast majority (76–82%) of them originated from conservative news domains.
Exactly, I'll take boring over exciting if it means my phone will be more reliable over time.
It's the same reason that won't go for a foldable phone. They look cool, really cool, but moving parts means breaking parts - and if they break, they're bloody expensive to replace.
Exactly. Why do the hard job of actually safeguarding the kids when you can just use them as an excuse to grab onto more unnecessary powers?
It's like as though the Government is incapable of coming up with solutions to online problems that don't involve immediately invading people's privacy.
I'd say next thing is they'll be trying to ban encryption, but they've literally already started on that one.
Will the Government succeed in their age ban, or will they learn (once again) that they're just not that effective.
You tell kids, especially teens, that they can't use social media, they're gonna want to use it more - and they will bypass any restrictions you put in their way.
Similar to what I said about Australia, it's like how CoD is meant to be 18+ yet somehow still full of prepubescent squeakers who all apparently fucked your mother last night and have Dads who work for Xbox.
It would be far better to engage parents/schools in educating kids on how to more responsibly use social media and to critically analyse information - or alternatively force social media companies to implement better safeguards for kids who do end up on there, rather than play an endless and desperate cat and mouse race against them.
Well fair and square might be cutting Trump too fair a deal. He talked big about election rigging right before the vote - and one of the core tenants of the GOP is projection, so I don't doubt he was up to some scummy shit same as last time.
It's certainly an odd situation to behold, and the thought of getting with someone twice my age makes me feel gross, but they're both legally adults and appear to be happy with the arrangement, so I guess there isn't all that much to do but wish her the best and get used to the new son-in-law.
Having said that, 65 isn't all that old for an OAP, so I hope for both their sakes that there is more to it than her being just his sugar baby - I can't imagine decades of loveless marriage to be good for anyone.
Oh, I'm not surprised at the outcome, I expected the almost 60 y/o man to lose to the under 30 y/o man, but was just surprised to see the stats on just how little Tyson actually did in the fight.
Well this just about aged like fine milk. Far from beating Jake to a pulp, Tyson threw just 18 punches the entire fight.
Though I suppose it's inevitable when Tyson is more than double Jake's age and he retired years ago
Considering the sheer amount of mis/disinformation we've seen in just our own media over the last decade (cough the NHS buses cough), I absolutely agree that we need the government to be putting more accountability onto online media sources (I.e. news publishers and social media platforms) for the mis/disinformation they allow to propagate through them, and to find more ways to increase the digital literacy of our population (particularly the elderly and children) so they're more resistant to it in the future.
Well you see, this post is about the ways in a nuanced explanation is inferior to using the phrase "Dumb Fuck!" because it has to be specifically written for a post, can lead to an exhausting back and forth debate where you end up having to write more explanations, can often sound condescending due to the inability of text to carry the subtleties of spoken language, and the length of them can often be too boring to read. Of course simply writing "Dumb Fuck!" has none of these downsides, because it can be copied and pasted into almost any situation, is very hard to debate against, is very cathartic, and loses no subtlety in text versus spoken language.
Honestly using Infowars to raise awareness of gun violence in a satirical way with help from Everytown is such a middle finger to Alex Jones and I'm all here for it
Yes. And this story is indirectly related to one of those.
Trump's 2nd Term will definitely have knock-on effects to the rest of the world, but it isn't like the rest of the world stops.
It's like back in the Covid Lockdowns - every other disease didn't just decide to take time off because of Covid being in the zeitgeist.
