Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

  • but half the time it can't access any sites while Chrome does.

    I smell exaggerated bullshit.

    • Reddit sells training data to unnamed AI company ahead of IPO

  • How ever much we want that to be true, it's simply not. Sadly.

  • That makes sense. 👍

    • Apple moves away from iTunes on PC with new Windows apps

  • I'm assuming the content you download has Apple DRM so you continue to rely on them? And when they do away with that service your 'purchases' are just files taking up disk space?

    A sarcastic, but genuine question (been reading about the Sony / Crunchyroll / Fun

    <something>

    over the last few days).

  • ... right up until you don't have the choice. Microsoft wants a walled garden because money.

    I get the sentiment but it really worries me when people embrace this kind of stuff.

  • It is easily done.

    I don't do it because I like the separation - that drive is Linux, that is Windows. That's just me

  • That's a myth that people need to stop spreading.

    Microsoft is a business. Microsoft is also not stupid. If it cost them more to provide a product than it makes them, they wouldn't provide it. They're is a huge amount of examples of them doing this. They don't provide it because they're nicer guys.

    Microsoft uses Windows, and all of it's products, as a vehicle for Azure and advertisers. Everything they do feeds into that one way or another.

    Microsoft stopped being a software company some time ago.

    • How Walmart, Delta, Chevron and Starbucks are using AI to monitor employee messages

  • I could. But we both know I'd be wasting my time.

    This stuff isn't difficult to understand. But you're going out of your way to make such a show of not understanding that you're obviously trolling. Or an idiot.

  • They are. Employers house or not. That's the point you're missing.

    • Social networks are getting stingy with their data, leaving third-party developers in the lurch

    Jump

  • Just tried to create an account. Got error that it couldn't send me an email to verify. Login button spins and then does nothing. Resetting password is the same.

    Not sure what went wrong but sh.itdoesnt.work

  • The moderation on Lemmy is pretty poor and there is no clear (at least to me) avenue to help or offer help. Reporting it is pointless.

    So I agree. Lemmy cannot handle it at the moment. That does not give confidence of it being handled when it gets larger, and the spam / bots becoming more sophisticated.

    I do appreciate however, that all platforms have to go through this learning process.

  • I had issues with AirPods connecting to Debian 12. It turned out to be codecs (from memory - I just remember some proprietary Apple shit) that were needed. Once they were installed it connected first time.

    If yours were working and stopped connecting after an update this is unlikely to be the issue. But I thought I'd point out out just in case.

    • Any duck duck go alternative that is better in privacy and security ?

  • They blocked my IP Vanish VPN which is why I moved away from them to Kagi.

    Given the other comments about VPN's it sounds like it's not consistent.

  • " ...the government of Korea provide ample opportunity for engagement with a range of stakeholders, including the American business community and the U.S. government,"

    The responsibility of the South Korean government is to it's people and what's best for them. The arrogance of the US government never fails to surprise me.

    If the roles were reversed, the US government wouldn't give a shit about South Korea and would simply tell them they need to 'comply'.

  • That's not the headline in the article.

    A company includes the people working on those calls. Like the person in the article who gave out the information and I don't blame them for this. I'm blame bad management and bad processes.

    A call handler shouldn't have to make a snap decision on handing over private data. It should all be written down for them to follow. Including passing a court order over to the legal team who, you'd hope, have the expertise to determine a good one from a bad one, or at least have a way to validate it.

    I'm not being pedantic. I'm trying to ensure that the people on the end of the phone are not getting the blame for a failure of management. Which is why I made the distinction.
