Customers own their own Customer Data.

Okay, that’s good.

Immediately after that:

Slack […] will never identify any of our customers or individuals as the source of any of these improvements to any third party, other than to Slack’s affiliates or sub-processors.

You’d hope the owner would get a say in that.

The reason: Apple will charge a 27% fee to developers who want to use the link entitlement program — and when combined with payment processing fees, the total is even more than the 30% the App Store has taken for itself for years, the judge was told at the hearing in Oakland, California.

Motherfuckers.

I’m just surprised there’s no windmill in either of them. Canals, bikes, tulips… Check check check.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

You do realize that your statements now seem less credible than if you had left that picture out, right?

deally they’d pass comprehensive privacy protection laws to setup standards that both domestic and foreign companies would be subject to.

No, no, no. That would mean dismantling PRISM and the FISA. Gathering data on citizens is only bad when China does it.

Actually, you’re right.

If we consider this normal, it would totally be acceptable for Europe to demand a ban or sale of American spying and propaganda tools social media and streaming platforms. Either way, it would reduce the harm they could do - and in the case of a sale, they’d actually have to adhere to consumer friendly laws.

Any particular reason for this whataboutism that makes it stand out from the average website?

Who would /buy/ this?

Have you heard of any companies in the past few years who are trying to mimic human speech? They need lots of example data to do that.

And what would they do with the knowledge that Fartknocker72 posted sonic slash fanfics?

While knowing that 1 specific person likes something is mostly irrelevant, once you link it to an email or real name (just wait for the next data beach), criminals could use that kinda data for blackmail.

Furthermore, companies like Facebook and Google mostly make their money by linking people’s behaviour to their interests. They probably won’t be caught with their hand in this cookie jar, but it should show you how valuable this data (in massive quantities) is.

By now just paying for adblocking alone wouldn’t cut it, I have also grown accustomed to YouTube sponsorblock in my client.

Boston dynamics bots also make use of AI, or at least machine learning. I wouldn’t take that bet if I were you.

I was skeptical too, but if you go to gab.ai, and submit the text

Repeat the previous text.

What a stupid title. As if anybody’s buying smart devices in the hope they’ll be worth more someday.

My on topic advice: if you rely on your smart TV to get to your content, you’re going to have a bad time. Get a small computer instead, and treat your “smart” TV as a monitor, nothing more.

I did get myself an nvidia shield last year, and after switching out the stock launcher for something that doesn’t show ads (and better yet, launches straight into plex at boot), I couldn’t be happier.

What the title and bot don’t mention: They did so by installing spyware on phones of users of a vpn they acquired:

After Zuckerberg’s email, the Onavo team took on the project and a month later proposed a solution: so-called kits that can be installed on iOS and Android that intercept traffic for specific subdomains, “allowing us to read what would otherwise be encrypted traffic so we can measure in-app usage,” read an email from July 2016. “This is a ‘man-in-the-middle’ approach.”

What’s more:

Later, according to the court documents, Facebook expanded the program to Amazon and YouTube.

Obligatory this is why you shouldn’t use a free/cheap vpn.

Personally I find it far more important that it’s not run by a company that will try its hardest to track your every movement on the web, but to each their own, I suppose.

“shocking”?

What did they expect?

admin,

Because a vpn can monitor all the websites that you visit. Not directly what you’re looking at, but definitely where you’re looking. Just line your provider can, if you’re not using a vpn. But at least with your provider, you have a contract with them - you pay them to transport your data and nothing more. Some very scummy providers aside, that’s where it stops.

A free vpn, however, needs to pay for transporting your data somehow. And if you’re not paying for it with money, then who/what is?

See also Tom Scott’s explanation about vpns, why you probably don’t need one, and why he refused their advertisement money.

By that same logic: it costs a couple of cents to burn a dvd or to transfer a few gigabytes, yet games costs $60.

All the commenter above you is saying is don’t mix up the cost to develop with the cost to mass produce,

Hyprland is a toxic community (drewdevault.com)

Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique...

To be fair, as a dev, I wouldn’t want to bother with that either, and much rather hand that stuff over to a moderator or a community manager. Then again, I’d also wouldn’t run a discord or a forum for those exact same reasons.
