  • “Legal” doesn’t immediately mean “moral”. Everything is legal as long as there isn’t a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

    Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You’re forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
    Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

    I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore…








  • This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

    Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
    But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

    Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

    So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

    I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

    To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

    finally a decent use of this dumbass meme format.

    I hate how the majority of the time this is used, it can be summed up with “girls boring, boys fun haha”.
    Thought we left that sorta thinking behind in elementary school?
    Anyway, fuck gender stereotypes, we’re all just humans trying to wing it.

    Nah, Discord is already a way into the enshittifation process. Back when it first got popular, people ditched skype to migrate to discord en masse, because discord was lightweight and quick as fuck and had 0 ads.

    Nothing about this software nowadays gives me the feeling of being quick.



  • Yea, they are useless when being changed at will, but what if the TOS specifically said “You can disregard future TOS versions and still abide by this old one under certain circumstances” ?
    You would still be complying with the Terms of Service, by not honoring the new Terms of Service.

    Obviously, this is still a terrible situation regardless, but I am thinking about if the old TOS won’t give already released games a way out of this BS, or even better, may keep a usable Unity version alive for the future. Long term obviously, as many people as possible should ditch unity entirely, but for right now, it looks like a lot of developers will have big trouble starting in just 3 months.
