However, when the Steam Deck 2 comes out—probably next year

Really?

chesscom bad. lichess good.

Same for me, it was Red Hat Linux 6.1 (Cartman). I got it from a CD on the front of a PC magazine.

For a professional writer you’d think she would know that a quotation (even a fictional one) requires quotation marks around it to make it clear to the reader that it’s not what you are saying but somebody else. Perhaps this makes more sense:

“Refusing to accept that people who don’t like sex belong in the gay category is akin to wanting segregated bathrooms in the 1950s, John,” as approximately a thousand gender activists will inform you once their hands stop literally shaking.

She’s mocking the people who replied to her.

Maybe we should ban right-wingers in sports.

good riddance

Most distros build for ARM now. Disregard, I just realized we’re talking about Macs. 🤦

• Effective age checks. The riskiest services must use highly effective age assurance to identify which users are children. This means they can protect them from harmful material, while preserving adults’ rights to access legal content. That may involve preventing children from accessing the entire site or app, or only some parts or kinds of content. If services have minimum age requirements but are not using strong age checks, they must assume younger children are on their service and ensure they have an age-appropriate experience.

That’s what it’s really about.

It’s not about protecting children, it’s about ensuring that adults can’t use the internet anonymously.

Mozilla needs a means of making money if anyone hopes Firefox or Librewolf to exist in the long run.

Mozilla Corp needs a means of making money if they want to continue paying their directors millions of dollars a year. The software projects, not so much.

clearly people like it

It’s the network effect that people like, just like every other social platform before it.

What a misleading headline. “You’ll probably be protected,” makes it sound like the method is mostly working, so don’t worry about it. But that’s not what the article is about at all.

It should be titled, “You’ll be protected probabilistically, and most data-collectors are not telling you what the probability parameter is that they are using.” The study shows that users can only make good and informed choices about their data when presented with this parameter, and an explanation of its meaning.

It has been shown repeatedly that “differential privacy” can be exploited to de-anonymize the users whose data has been aggregated.

If you read Mozilla’s description of their Private Audiences system you immediately ask, “what happens if an advertiser has an audience comprising a list of ‘known opposition party supporters’ and generates a new ‘audience’ based on that profile? Do they then get an expanded list of opposition party supporters to target?” Yes of course they do, because that’s entirely the purpose of this system.

Waving their hands and saying it uses ephemeral machine learning models and differential privacy does not solve the inherent societal problems with allowing targeted advertising.

Anything that supports the surveillance capitalist economy is just fuelling the continued exploitation of our attention and private data. Get to fuck, Mozilla CORP.

We should have all done this about 9 years ago when it became apparent that it was being used to destabilise our democracies.

You are part of the problem.

I can never remember their generation codenames, so here are the cards that represents:

Maxwell: GTX 745, 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 TI, Titan X

Pascal: GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1070 Ti, 1080, Titan Xp

Volta: V100, GV100, Titan V

Also, they track website visitors without them even clicking the button. Just loading the “share” icon from the social media website allows them to see that you are reading that specific article, and if they recognise your IP or can fingerprint your browser then they can tie it to your social media account (advertising profile).

The feature looks like absolute shit. Their supposed use-case is “you opened a bunch of tabs and none of them have what you need” and yet they expect you instead to sit there with your mouse hovering over a link, while holding a shortcut on the keyboard, waiting for the AI summary to finish loading? That would slow you down about 10x versus just opening all the links and looking at the page?

If they wanted link previews, why didn’t they just prefetch the page and render it normally in a preview thumbnail like the ones that you now get when hovering over an open tab?

Mindless shoe-horning of AI into the product to check some kind of box for the overpaid C-suite. For shame.
