We only have free access now because it's still in development and they're using our interactions to train from, but when they are on more solid ground I fully expect enshittification.

I've no doubt it's more than one thing that is driving this, but my point was they are only now agreeing because they have to and not because they want to. This company has literally taken away their customers ability to receive quality media from their friends with the sole intent to pressure people into getting their product so they belong. I know it's hyperbolic to say, but it's basically using teens to bully each other into buying something. Someone had to pitch this idea to a room full of people and all those people thought wow this is a great idea, think about how fucked up that is.

I just want to point out that this announcement comes after Nothing phone company announced they partnered with a company that will bridge the two protocols so apple was about to lose their ability to force android images and videos to look like a potato so iPhone users wouldn't want to leave the apple ecosystem.

This just exactly like when apple decided they were going to be champions of privacy by improving the security on their phones, which coincidentally happened right after a company called cellebrite started selling a product that would allow police to bypass passcodes and fingerprints to access a users data which previously could only be unlocked by the police department paying a fee for each time to unlock a phone.

They will always default to being shitty like any other company treating their users like the enemy until they can't and then they spin it in their favor.

If it wasn't we'd have heard about it from everyone who watches Fox News.

I think you mean edit for ms-dos.

It's a shame we don't have any systems in place to promote learning to combat such issues but alas that's just impossible.

I don't see how headlines for articles are much different.

I have been thinking about trying to use Linux for my daily driver again and have been mulling over which distro to use and I kind of narrowed it down, and then I took your quiz and now I've got like 60 more options. 😒

Sounds like you're over stimulating it.

That's an Atchisson AA-12 which is a fully automatic 12 gauge shotgun. Which may technically qualify as a machine gun depending on interpretations of the law.

Same privacy policy authorizing them to harvest your data, but older cars have a more limited capability to collect data compared to newer cars filled with sensors, cameras, and phone integrations. Plus older cellular networks are defunct for older vehicles so they can't just exfil it without you helping or bringing it in to physically access it.

I use Express VPN and the camera permission is relatively new as I don't have it enabled and it's never asked me prior to enable it. I dug through the app and found it within their new password manager when you add a new credentials it offers you to help setup 2FA with the major providers and you can optionally scan a QR code with it so it's a benign convenience feature.

Bluetooth on the other hand I cannot explain unless it's to proxy any connections Bluetooth devices might make.

Those people still have something to live for so they stay within the bounds of societal rule, again not very surprising.

I'm not sure why it's surprising, they're literally preying upon the people that are too sick to fight back against them.

Christie usually thinks before speaking about how his words will impact him, but otherwise he's no different than Trump. If he thought he could get away with it he would do anything Trump would.

No, the government gets a couple million in fines and Amazon raises their prices to compensate for the next quarter but never lowers the cost so they'll make even more the quarter after.

He has the need, the need for speed. He has so much joy in his heart only zoomies can release it and sometimes the zoomies take you places you shouldn't go and you don't know how to get back.

In the settings menu they advertised Microsoft 365 too.
