  • Are Cars Just Becoming Giant Smartphones on Wheels?

    Jump

  • Personally I think it is cool to not give money to anti-consumer companies, which I assume all car companies have become by now if they all have computers. Certainly they cannot forever resist the temptation to use the power they have over users when they control the software running on our hardware.

  • The Spell Brigade is ending Native Linux support due to multiple issues

  • "Technical changes to the game’s netcode that prevent full compatibility with a native Linux build"

  • Pay-per-output? AI firms blindsided by beefed up robots.txt instructions.

  • Is it hypocrisy to be for EULA enforcement on reading when it's machines, but not when it's humans? Crawlers "read" on a massive scale that doesn't compare to humans.

    Roblox continues efforts for child safety by expanding age estimation to all users by end of the year

  • I estimate that won't do much.

  • House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias

    Jump

  • Nothing stopped someone writing a bogus paper claiming an MMR vaccine causes autism. It being a paper likely gave it undue credit to people who were convinced by it, not that they read it..

    Jump

  • I'm not writing a paper or essay.. so my standards are different.

    Conversely I've tried following a paper to implement an algorithm and suddenly found it used math terms that I couldn't find an explanation for (and unlike the rest of the paper it didn't elaborate shit).

    Jump

  • That sounds like a generic issue one should expect. I wouldn't consider this a specific party's talking point until they suggest a solution that isn't just better reasoning, better logic, better evidence.

  • How often?

  • House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias

    Jump

  • The answer to any bias in Wikipedia is to cite more verifiable sources, use better sound reasoning and update when newer evidence is found.

    The answer is probably not the wishful thinking of one of USA's unrepresentative main parties. To learn about public misrepresentation in government check out a page from Wikipedia.

  • Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

  • "Promoting homosexuality" was illegal in state schools for half my childhood. Imagine the ignorant, hateful people arguing against same-sex sexual education - they would probably say "YOU want to show PORN to CHILDREN" too. It's a bad-faith character assassination that shouldn't have merit.

  • I doubt the concept of anonymised data. Companies and governments have bad incentives to know who you are, and collect data from brokers to make correlations and educated guesses.

  • If we're talking about a hard copy ID (passport, drivers license) that's one thing. A digital ID, and over the internet, is asking for trouble.

  • I'd rather not have the law, or if law then big business pay but exclusions for smaller businesses/hobbyist.

  • That means being paid by the tax payers.

    The free option is to trust your children.

  • Age check happens via trusted entity (your government)

    Bold of you to assume a government entity is trusted. In the UK we have a large misrepresentative error due to our voting system.

  • Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play Store

  • Verify my balls, Google.

  • If BSD had a the same software license as Linux then I would celebrate it running on PlayStation hardware as users would be more free. Instead PS consoles are locked-down, preventing you from running software you want to use unless daddy Sony says you can. It's a battle between consumer rights, including software freedom.
