forrgott , to Technology in YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos

Lol no.

forrgott , to Technology in Top EU Court Says There’s No Right To Online Anonymity, Because Copyright Is More Important

What am I missing, here?

Well, for starters, you seem to be missing anything resembling a coherent argument... 🤪

forrgott , to Technology in Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible with two lines of code — inside the Copilot+ Recall disaster.

Umm, no. Just...yeah, no.

The main problem with this theory is that Microsoft is absolutely abysmal at user end security, and they always have been. Frankly, they do not understand the issue.

But, more to the point, the whole TPM/secure boot stuff is a compromise; originally (I think this was about the time of Vista), they partnered with OEMs to have them include a DRM chip that made it literally impossible to install any non-windows OS on your laptop. They've managed to still get an implementation of TPM that makes switching your OS too confusing/difficult for the average user.

Anyway, bottom line is they only care about money, and they neither care or even understand the security needs of the end user.

forrgott , to Technology in Online Content Is Disappearing

But... they've long since figured out how to monetize without the content. So, that's a hard disagree from me...

forrgott , to Mildly Infuriating in What is Reddit doing

I just switch to desktop mode and never had any problem...

forrgott , to Privacy in Legitimate interest?

No. Read it again. I never said allegation. I never referenced court proceedings. I said the act of rape is indefensible.

If you commit rape, there is no "decent" defense. If you didn't, then my comment doesn't apply. Simple as that.

There is no excuse for sexual violence, and there never will be.

forrgott , to Privacy in Legitimate interest?

Your reply is completely unrelated to what I said. There is no such thing as a decent defense for raping someone. If they didn't rape anyone, good! If they did, that is an indefensible act by its very nature.

I made no comment at all on whether or not any specific individual is guilty or not. So I'm really confused what your point is here...?

forrgott , to Technology in Musk moves Tesla's goalposts, investors happily move shares higher

The ability to gamble on the performance of a company auto-magically means investors know more?

Huh...

forrgott , to Privacy in Legitimate interest?

Your choice of words was absolutely terrible. There is no such thing as a decent defense of rape. Now, an effective defense in our busted legal system? That's a whole different story. But "decent" does not apply in cases of sexual assault and violence. Ever.

forrgott , to Technology in Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded?

I've always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It's kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there's not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It's hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don't know anything anyway! :-p

forrgott , to Technology in Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded?

I'm a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn't this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I'm misunderstanding your argument...?

forrgott , to Technology in AI will reduce workforce, say 41% of execs in a survey

To replace a corporate executive? No, I don't think so. We already have algorithms more than capable of replacing CEOs. There is nothing that challenging in what they do...

forrgott , to Technology in Elon Musk replies to post by far-right Austrian linked to Christchurch terrorist after X account restored

Nah. Until I meet a "freeze peach" nutcase who isn't blatantly acting in bad faith, I see no reason to legitimize their crap...

forrgott , to Technology in is this copium or hopium or schizophrenia?

Ugh. So many places in the world already have abundance that is hard to imagine; but that's only the case because of extreme hoarding of resources and wealth.

forrgott , to Memes in So far left you get your guns back.

Really? Yeah, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with, you know, actually keeping kids safe. No, that actually makes sense, and even worse, isn't about "me"!

For the record, even if there's anything to your absurd statement, I'm all for gun control. I care more about kids' lives than yours.
