• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are the payment processors saying Visa"MC told them to not process payments for this content? Or are they smjist citing a section of the agreement when being asked why they’re telling retailers to take down this content?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't Mbin more popular? ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably just the timing. Mbin was forked from Kbin after the majority of newcomers from Reddit settled on Lemmy over Kbin. Because Kbin was pretty much the one-man show with an unreliable flagship instance during the initial big wave of users coming over.

  Aivis. Trai harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh … Steam actually did this same thing before Itch did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And a lot of professors write their own text book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon is improving profiles and getting ready for quote posts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is how it works on BlueSky. And you can detach your original post from someone else’s quote post of it after-the-fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is driving down the price of knowledge – universities have to rethink what they offer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  more like monetizing the Dunning Kruger effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RFK Jr. Wants Every American to Be Sporting a Wearable Within Four Years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

  It being open source doesn’t mean you can music and run your own software on it and still have the agency accept you are compliant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which instances on any platform will show bridgyfed accounts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably any ActivityPub platform that can search users globally and any instance that doesn’t block the bridgy domain/instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which Lemmy instances use Photon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can go to phtn.app and proxy login to any Lemmy instance. But admins can also self-host Photon on their domain, like p.lemmy.world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So glad I never got on WhatsApp

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s Craig Federighi on the long road to the iPad’s Mac-like multitasking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have absolutely bought an iPad instead of a Surface Pro if I could run desktop MacOS applications on it when docked to desktop peripherals. I want one single convergent device for tablet and desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We really should be talking about Rampart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT "Absolutely Wrecked" at Chess by Atari 2600 Console From 1977⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant a specialized application, like the Atari one that beat the LLM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT "Absolutely Wrecked" at Chess by Atari 2600 Console From 1977⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Human brains lose to computerized chess all the time, though. So I guess this is a win for AI tech bros?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It has to be one of those ‘Lim~x~ as X approaches 0’ Calculus things where X is the value of Discord Orbs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This graph but with fediverse apps?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is pucture-based, but the is more of grouping images clipped from websites (you can upload your own images, too).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Two oil brothers, Charles Koch and David Koch, attempted to purchase the entire United States Congress⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They put a shit ton of money into state races, too. Their plan was to get enough state legislatures in their pocket to call a constitutional convention and rewrite the US as an anarcho-capitalist state.

  HOAs and Condo rules and shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t mind that they have 2FA features in their app. I mind that using SMS for this has been known to be bad practice for years and they’ve tried to leverage that insecurity to push users to the Steam app. It’s reckless and this current data breach is only possible because of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hacker advertises alleged database of 89 million Steam 2FA codes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam is warning users to enable Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator and keep an eye on account activity.

  Fuck off and let me use my own TOTP app already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.one will be shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It originally set out to be just an account-hosting instance, at a time when the major instances with the big communities would be going down as usage surged from people leaving Reddit. This way it was more responsive and reliably online. They have <10 communities hosted on the instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I don’t date at all now’: one woman’s journey into the darkest corners of the manosphere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, exactly like that. Whoever shares a picture with you. Whoever brags about it. “Did she give you permission to share this? Prove it! No? That’s not ok. I’m letting her know.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I don’t date at all now’: one woman’s journey into the darkest corners of the manosphere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit like this needs to be called out by decent men, directly to the faces of the offenders. Challenge their belief that all men are like that. It’s so disheartening to know that I stand out amongst the crowd for treating women with basic dignity and respect. I try so hard to teach my boys about respecting boundaries.

  How do sovereign citizen and tankie go together?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why companies have data retention settings to automatically delete old emails and slack/teams/etc. and special processes a classifications to store those communications that relate to contracts and such.
