- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 4 days ago:
I want nothing to do with AI, everything is like “I want transparency” I dont want them involved at all, pissing away money buzz words.
What do you want from mozilla? an open source privacy focused browser.
- Comment on French court blocks Google project to limit news content in searches 6 days ago:
That was always the way, big news pulled from the likes of the AP and Reuters and rephrased. A lot of today’s just isnt rephrased.
- Comment on Spotify’s Plans For AI Generated Music, Podcasts, and Recommendations, According To Its Co-President, CTO, and CPO Gustav Söderström 1 week ago:
Fuck Jack Dorsey too though, and its lacking a few bells ad whistles last time I checked.

They are making it anyway and supporting bees is good for the world.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 weeks ago:
They are not managing so much as they are eliminating a likely issue for users and the public.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 3 weeks ago:
Are you honestly defending this, the software took a life and didnt react. Im not on a skynet buzz but it is concerningly bad software and implementation.
I dont care if humans do it, they shouldnt and that should be the easy bar to clear in implementing a replacement for humans.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 3 weeks ago:
Hmm at a glance I dont see a major issue here, my concern would be that I dont click on vids with shit numbers so they are now on a more equal footing.
But it is better for people not to be so focused on numbers like removing number of likes on Instagram.
- Comment on Kremlin warns German weapons factory is legit target for Russia’s military 3 weeks ago:
Lol bomb North Korea being on the menu ia great.
Russia doesnt have the balls to make an official move on Germany. Just pandering to their loser base.
- Comment on UK will have removed China’s Hikvision surveillance cameras from sensitive sites by April 2025 as further risks through connected cars, EVs are addressed, report says 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on EU to Apple: “Let Users Choose Their Software”; Apple: “Nah”. 3 weeks ago:
There are currently two ecosystems covering about 99% of the worlds phones. If you do not want to use either system you are locked out of what has become vital tech.
Opening up this would encourage innovation. It wouldnt be enough for airpods to work samlessly with iphone if they also worked seamlessly with android and “XOS”. They would have to compete on price and featureset.

- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 3 weeks ago:
They are allowed on the web, they are not allowed sign up to be members of social media websites. Information should be freely available without being logged in, if it isnt then maybe the platform if the problem not the person or government.
Im eager to know if you are just a negative person looking for flaws or have some legitimate concern you failed to express.
- Comment on Nintendo 64 "Reimagining" Analogue 3D Delayed to 2025, First Look Revealed | Tech Raptor 4 weeks ago:
What is the use in upscsling to 4k games that have very low res textures? Goldeneye is a great game but everyone is blocky and everything is angular with repeating texture images, what benefit is upscaling if the base is just not there?
- Comment on WhatsApp is making a massive change to the way it saves your contacts 4 weeks ago:
I said yes and now I get a backing up bar in my notification tray that rushes to ~90% and then hangs for the day. Finishes in time to start again
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
Tbh I cant ban subs so when I crawl R/all I get mostly bots, reposts and thirst traps which sucks but there is no long term discussion threads here. Nothing like a review thread on the movies sub or music subs, where there are hundreds or thousands of views to skim.
- Comment on PS5 Pro Games to Scale Better Than PS4 Pro's, Says Dev; Maxed PCs Cost 3-5x Times, Can't Be Compared 4 weeks ago:
If you go over the price of a ps5 pro on a PC, you are likely interested in gaming enough to save the difference by having more than one marketplace, not to mention not be advertised to constantly and have more support for avoiding antifeatures like always online conditions of play.
- Comment on Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands 4 weeks ago:
Overall, because Lemmy is slow and boring mostly. I see headlines here and go to Reddit for the comments through the geddit crawler.

They usually operate in tandem, a double dutch irish tax sandwich or whatever it is called.

- Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people 4 weeks ago:
Clear her browsing data and try again, this happens with flights too.
This is why fingerprinting is an issue.
Sidenote. I went to by a boxset of books for my partner and it was ~50 for the set, I got back to pay the next day and it is 100. On ye third day it is ~70 with a note that it is down from 110. Scumbaggery.

- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 1 month ago:
Hate when this shit is pulled, wonder if it om the pro. Imagine paying pro prices for unstoppable ads.
This is also directly targetted to people giving additional money. If you are connected to the internet you are likely, or previously, a subscriber. If you are not paying a sub you are more likely to disconnect and not be affected.
- Comment on Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations 1 month ago:
AC in narrative meeded closure in modern times, where I hoped AC 3 or 4 would be. Cool that happened.
- Comment on Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text 1 month ago:
And thats is all this is, it isnt for war profiteering it is for poor practices, sure it could be more but people really lose sight of things when it comes to fining these companies.
The fines for targetting children with damaging content or promoting harmful posts should be way more than this and than they are but this isnt an action they directly profitted from it was a lazy and harmful missing of the required mark.
Im not this invested in defending meta but 102 million is a lot for one country to fine one company. Ireland fined the company nearly 1% of their global net for one issue.
- Comment on Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text 1 month ago:
102 million is a major fine.
