Visit our site as you normally would with the advertising and tracking.

No, i wouldn't normally visit any site with the advertising and tracking.

At least they mention that they track you. Most talk only about ads.

Any company that is in “AI” right now is either intentionally spending billions of dollars to solve AGI

Lol, no, that's another field entirely. They make the tools an AGI could use someday.

MonkderZweite ,

Isn't that more on the artsy side of tech?

MonkderZweite ,

I type from my not-Android and not-Apple phone.

MonkderZweite ,

a number of games, which likely rely on google services.

For ads, mostly. The vew i tried, one didn't let you select start because of a bug with a missing ad frame (imagine!). The 4 or 5 others ran fine. Might look different with the 90% of games who want to rip ypu off. Payment ingame might rely on Google Services too.

MonkderZweite ,

I use Tree Style Tabs addon for that.

MonkderZweite ,

They didn't understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.

MonkderZweite ,

One more, from a guy who was invited to consulting of a group of them.

MonkderZweite ,

Guess if i ever have to use Windows again, my Firefox will be a Portabe App. Can't usurp stuff you don't know about, since it's not in Registry.

Except if they start to use Smartscreen for that...

MonkderZweite ,

Wait, the picture painting of a guy with apple in face really exists?

Here, print it out. Originals are only for making money anyway.

MonkderZweite ,

ToS not comprehensible by the general public shouldn't be enforcable. They should be forced to have a simplified part and a jurist part.

Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It (www.wired.com)

For facial recognition experts and privacy advocates, the East Bay detective’s request, while dystopian, was also entirely predictable. It emphasizes the ways that, without oversight, law enforcement is able to mix and match technologies in unintended ways, using untested algorithms to single out suspects based on unknowable...

MonkderZweite ,

How is the failure rate in the DNA -> words step alone? Higher than 50%?

MonkderZweite ,

Twitter browsing

dumpster diving. While the dumbster is burning!

MonkderZweite ,

I didn't miss the "girl with socks and Linux" posts from Reddit.

MonkderZweite ,

Btw, using the microwave to create plasma balls.

Krebs on Security: "Using Google Search to Find Software Can Be Risky" (krebsonsecurity.com)

Google continues to struggle with cybercriminals running malicious ads on its search platform to trick people into downloading booby-trapped copies of popular free software applications. The malicious ads, which appear above organic search results and often precede links to legitimate sources of the same software, can make...

MonkderZweite ,

Btw, how are the little onions named?

MonkderZweite ,

Thanks. I hate them.

MonkderZweite ,

My bad. Onions were out, so i got a bag of them. Peeling 2 for the result of 1.

MonkderZweite ,

NTP is an unencrypted protocol, so tshark or Wireshark will have no problem telling you all about it.

Wait, it is? Pretty sure chrony.conf has some auth stuff in it.

MonkderZweite ,

Right.

MonkderZweite ,

I don't even care anymore, they're just trolling.

MonkderZweite ,

Btw, you can't get your DLC's from one store to play with the game from another, not even GoG. Reasoning: because every store only allows you to purchase DLC if you own the game aleady on the same store.

Isn't that some anticompetitive Gatekeeper stunt?

MonkderZweite ,

Btw: Steam crackdown on workshop downloaders. They want to own the mods.

Remember: there's no good companies, only less shitty ones (for a while).

If you don't want/can't flash a custom rom: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=samsung+adb+debloat
but better search for a list for your modell and first disable before uninstall. Maybe need to install some main Apps first, like a launcher, use adb install app.apk otherwise.

Btw: https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater

MonkderZweite ,

Just some suitable tools for robots processing. We're far away from consciousness.

MonkderZweite ,

How do you know a human wouldn't do the same?

Because the human has "circuits" for coherrent thought and language was added later.

MonkderZweite ,

"Made with love, just for you!"

Uh, ok, thanks fellow stranger machine.

MonkderZweite ,

It's just buying time, so they can make a few billions more until then.

MonkderZweite , (edited )

A wave hit it.

MonkderZweite ,

Waves (wind) in open air? Chance in a million!

MonkderZweite ,

Well, what sort of standards are those planes built to?

MonkderZweite ,

I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

MonkderZweite ,

It works as it should although not as intended.

MonkderZweite ,

Yes, but the average reader can't make that distinction and blames EU.

The joke is that CNN still violates GDPR with this trick.

MonkderZweite ,

Google Chrome is much faster than Firefox on Android phones

Not with the ads (Firefox Android has uBlock).

MonkderZweite ,

Or disable/remove them. Don't even need root for that. There's always microg if an app really needs them.
