Not technologically, legally.

I know they do but always wondered how but that’s a good guess!
- Comment on How GOG fixed Cold Fear | GOG Tech Talk 3 hours ago:
I think they meant that they wish Valve would also do this.
- Comment on How GOG fixed Cold Fear | GOG Tech Talk 3 hours ago:
Yeah but how? Haha

Someone explain how gog is about to patch software that they don’t own?
- Comment on Telly has only delivered 35,000 of its free televisions with always-on ads 17 hours ago:
Unless the sensor is built into the display that’s be pretty easy just to cut a hole for it.

Haha, probably nothing

Like if I’m watching a YouTube video and it’s 4:3, I’m perfectly fine with YouTube filling the sides with ads
Look at the photo in the OP. The ads are on a completely separate (attached) display.

I wonder how much money consumers will spend on products that are advertised to them when they won’t even buy a TV…
Also I wonder what the quality is like on a “free” TV…

It doesn’t use refrigerant, which is a pollutant.
- Comment on How to turn off Gemini in Gmail — and why you should | Proton 2 days ago:
Yes and no. If we’re talking about email, that’s completely different from Lumo, and can either be run locally or server-side with encryption, which is then immediately deleted.

Since when does email have encryption?

I don’t necessarily have a problem with offering AI. Especially in actually-useful contexts. I have a problem with it being forced on me in unwanted ones.
- Comment on Man uses 99 phones to trick Google Maps into thinking there’s a traffic jam to prove a big point 2 days ago:
Precisely.
- Comment on Man uses 99 phones to trick Google Maps into thinking there’s a traffic jam to prove a big point 2 days ago:
Yeah I did say it was a neat art project but the title also says “to prove a big point”. What does it prove?
- Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible? 2 days ago:
I use Conduit. There’s often problems with images not being viewable or encryption being broken. And holy hell, the absolute harrassment if a session is not verified. Not to mention that the verification process never works properly.
- Comment on Man uses 99 phones to trick Google Maps into thinking there’s a traffic jam to prove a big point 2 days ago:
I mean, that’s a neat art project. But doesn’t really prove anything. You could spin up a hundred VMs and spoof the location and achieve the same thing but…why? Piss someone off by rerouting traffic through their neighborhood?
- Comment on Epic and Google have a secret $800 million Unreal Engine and services deal 2 days ago:
the court revealed that Epic and Google have struck a new deal that apparently includes “joint product development, joint marketing commitment, joint partnerships.”
- What does any of this have to do with Unreal Engine?
- If this is a “settlement” that means Timmy is pulling up the ladder he used to win previous cases behind him. I guess that’s his prerogative as he invested in it when no one else would, but still kind of a dick move.

If distributing child pornography can’t get people off Xitter, nothing will.
- Comment on New Android malware uses AI to click on hidden browser ads 3 days ago:
Hmm. Imagine what it would do to the advertising industry if this was distributed maliciously…
- Comment on Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W 3 days ago:
Any for-profit company will have to comply with this, unfortunately.
- Comment on Netflix will add TikTok-style doomscrolling feed to keep users hooked longer 3 days ago:
Another example of ruining the platform for paying users in exchange for supporting advertisers.
- Comment on About decentralised storage of fediverse data. 4 days ago:
Off of what servers? Fediverse data is already archived across thousands of servers through federation.
- Comment on Elon Musk and Sam Altman clashed on X after Musk shared a post about a man who committed a murder-suicide following delusional conversations with ChatGPT 4 days ago:
Elon should try and fight him like he did Zuckerberg except don’t back out this time.
- Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible? 5 days ago:
Apparently it’s based on “Open Cloud Mesh” (OCM) protocol that they created.

iMacs can’t run open source software?
