Voyager enhances his effect by counting your votes on individuals. You start seeing people with big numbers.

What’s an example of an alternative with a really great recommendation algorithm?

Things like recommendation algorithms are difficult for small companies/individuals to provide. Let alone the library of music.

lame. The web versions suck.

Do you think a court could force Apple to allow any and all software in the App Store? In other words, it’s not Apple’s decision who they do business with?

Hey, did you hear veritasium made a video?

Bungie had similar problems with Destiny 2, if I remember correctly.

Bungie commented on the current issue an hour ago.

They do, but this is a compatibility problem first and foremost. And as a Mac user since the 90s, that’s glaringly obvious to me.

It sucks that DRM is the wrench in the gears of Proton. But the game doesn’t have official support.

I agree that DRM is stupid. There are plenty of examples these days where DRM went away and nothing fell apart. iTunes Music Store, GoG, region free discs.

Still clinging to DRM is regressive. And they are hypocritical, because DRM like the one this post deals with are regularly removed from the game after a period of time.

DRM doesn’t work.

I’m not supporting any particular game or constellation of software. Just noticing the entitlement in the thread, and across Lemmy.

When people act entitled to pirate something, that’s when I think things are off the rails. They act like it’s their right to obtain other peoples work.

Invasive DRM is shitty. And it’s a bummer software does not easily work on all platforms. But no one is automatically entitled to a copy of someone else’s labor.

You know who else acts entitled to copies of other people’s labor? The AI companies.

Should every game be forced to support your chosen platform? I don’t see Mac users acting like this.

Ohh, when he pays the taxes on this, that will be many millions going into our budget, right? Right?

“But my house doesn’t have creeps in it.”

“You did just say you will piss all over the airport parking lot.”

The EU executive said TikTok has failed to comply with the Digital Services Act's obligation to publish an advertisement repository which allows researchers and users to detect scam advertisements.

The DSA requires online platforms to do more to tackle illegal and harmful content as well as provide information on advertisements.

I wish we had these rules in the US.

Targeted advertising can be insidious, and it’s difficult to uncover some of the worst stuff because it’s not really broadcasted widely.

If I remember correctly, Meta has had such databases available in the past.

I wonder what the practical reasons for starting with h.264 are.

Yes, Teen Vogue I believe.

People really abuse that new and very useful word. It diminishes the usefulness.

They also shouldn’t report on the horse race. They should report on issues.

Reporting on elections is always disappointing.

As I remember things, TVDB is the one with the weird episode splitting and ordering…
