I think the law should be changed; copyright law is kind of a mess, but I don't know how to make it better.
It would also need to be changed in a way that's fair, which these companies absolutely do not want; fairness would mean the end of laws like the DMCA.
I learned to moisten the eye of the needle instead of the thread. It makes threading a needle way easier. Also, making sure the thread is cleanly cut at the end and not fraying.
You don’t have to be insane to not be happy about this. I believe in ‘harm reduction’, which is to say: If joe biden were still president, i would probably not be upset if some medical condition removed him from the presidency, because then he could no longer actively do harm from his position of power.
But now? He has almost no active power or influence over anything. His suffering doesn’t benefit me or reverse any previous harms he’s caused.
Yeah Google claims it's not recording, storing or being sent the conversations or sharing them with anyone, and that this is all done 'on-device'.
The thing is, I don't trust them. At all.
Maybe the terms and conditions will silently change. Maybe their definitions of "recording" and "save" will change. Maybe they're blatantly lying and are willing to pay a fine if they get caught.
Google's whole business model is harvesting and selling people's data, so I have to assume the worst intentions.
Exactly. And unless RCS with e2ee is made equally available to companies other than Google and is implemented by the carriers, RCS will continue to be a monopolistic data-harvesting grift.
I'm surprised there is not more outrage directed at Google over this.
I can't use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.
I am guessing you don't want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don't think details or a release date have been announced yet.
I had trouble with it too. The site told me to disable all the privacy settings on my browser, at which point I simply decided that the whole thing was no longer worth my time and data.
The fact that Nintendo can pull the game, change the game, or disable a game key card is why I will never purchase a used one; there is no way to know what you are really getting from a used game key card until it's too late.
I'm so sorry you're getting downvoted. The fact that your comment currently has more downvotes than upvotes -- for making accurate statements and supporting feminism -- reflects why women don't stick around on Lemmy. I think it's time for me to leave too; I don't want to be part of a community where this many men are anti-feminist. These guys should really take a class on feminism, sex, and gender studies.
It's cute but it doesn't look like it's doing anything unique from a hundred other farming sims just like it. I would love to see something -- anything -- that makes it stand out.
