Seriously, some people are that good that you know they could do almost anything very well in a matter of days.

So why not ? I always have a lot of respect for someone that is willing to drastically change their lives in order to improve.

Tetsuo ,

He wanted to infiltrate the raccoons. There was just a minor flaw in the plan.

Tetsuo ,

My instance tried to disable downvotes and it was a fiasco.

So yeah a lot of people are keen to remove user feedback in any way possible in the hope to lessen toxicity until they notice that it’s a double edged sword. People can’t dislike stuff just to troll or for bad reasons. But people couldn’t even downvote a spam bot and you essentially are at the mercy of anybody if a mod is not close by ready to act. Likes and dislikes are a way to outsource moderation to the users. So either X has a secret army of moderators or that will just result in a lot more trash being on the foreground.

No likes on X means that the spammers, racists, stalker will essentially be at the same level of visibility than any other user.

I’m sure that will go just fine…

I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.

I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.

Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.

Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.

So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.

At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.

Tetsuo ,

There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.

Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?

The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.

At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.

You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.

I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.

Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.

Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.

It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.

Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.

Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.

Tetsuo ,

If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.

DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn’t host my own mail.

Even worse I’m hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.

Tetsuo ,

We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.

Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.

Tetsuo ,

I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.

Didn’t print it beforehand so I couldn’t.

Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn’t count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations…

Tetsuo ,

It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it’s not really a secret.

Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that’s also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me…

I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.

Tetsuo ,

Honestly, the only good advice is to consult a doctor.

Discord: Have you lost access to your email? no worries, just regain access to it! (lemmy.world)

I would have expected them to ask me to message them, in order to resolve the issue of not having access to my old email. Instead, they assume that I still have access to it, by simply contacting my email provider!...

Tetsuo ,

If there is one thing I secure as much as possible it’s my main email address.

If you think about it that’s the most important account of all.

If you lose it, every account using this mail as recovery is also pwned.

I understand this is frustrating but I agree with others that there is not much else discord could do.

Tetsuo ,

Technically you probably could. But it might be frowned upon to be complicit in a DDoS attack.

Tetsuo , (edited )

I don’t think so.

If they only relied on the sensor it would constantly turn on and off which is something I have never seen on that kind of faucets. I think there is always a delay before shutting down but sometimes that delay is set so low that it feels like you need to constantly activate the sensor.

Edit: clarification: What I meant is that if you just move once your hand in front of the sensor it should remain ON longer than just the time your hand was detected. I have never seen a sensor that literally activates only to the millisecond when something is moving. Even just to prevent false activation for half a second you kind of need a delay in there. If not you could have a 100ms activation that doesn’t even have the time to let the water out by opening the faucet and you create unnecessary wear on the valve system. My point being it never really makes sense in engineering to have a button or sensor direct output used. Usually you have mechanisms to prevent “bouncing” and so on. But I’m no plumber so it is just assumptions.

Tetsuo ,

Let’s just hope it’s not both.

Tetsuo ,

Yes.

Nothing really graphic here but it is accurate.

I actually couldn’t believe such picture existed. And then I remembered that this is Trump so it is to be expected.

Tetsuo ,

Big AI trying very hard to hide the truth about glue in pizza.

Tetsuo ,

It’s kinda sad when you think about it that the people that prepare your food may have less time to eat than you do.

Interesting hacker used my GF's name and YOB for password. Thoughts?

For starters, I used to live in a third-world country and have been pirating since about 8 thanks to my older bro, and to my knowledge, I never got a virus thanks to good practices and habits like vpn+ and staying only with a trusted tracker (and obviously some luck too). But I stopped when I grew older and made money. Except...

Tetsuo ,

Is it possible that this password was really your gf’s password in the past ? It could have leaked long ago and the hacker just decided to use a previously leaked pass to be more inconspicuous.

I don’t think this whole story is so wild, it could be just coincidental. The hacker knew somehow about her DOB and thought this would be an easy password.

Rest assured a hacker wouldn’t want to use their own password or reuse even one as that could link to previous nefarious activity. So they had to set up a brand new password just to move forward. So they set up anything personal they could get their hands on.

PS: you should check haveIbeenPwned for the address of your gf.

Tetsuo , (edited )

Apple definitely has that kind of practices too.

Louis Rossman probably has a 40+ MN long rant on this somewhere on his channel.

Edit: Only a 20+ Mn long rant… www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV4_mLw2BGM&t=1

Tetsuo ,

Also as DDG is based in the US it is most likely legally bound to give your informations to any agency with a nice gag order on top of it.

I can’t imagine any serious privacy oriented business to be headquartered in the US.

The whole better privacy is true with DDG but certainly not to the extent people would like to think.

That being said DDG has decent search results and is slightly better than Google for privacy. Google is an ecosystem so every little bit you don’t give them is a success.

It’s really too bad we don’t have good private search engines…

Tetsuo ,

Zabbix still remains a good choice imo. It works fine with Grafana et now the Zabbix-grafana plugin is officially supported by Grafana.

Zabbix without Grafana is pretty weak in term of visualization.

Tetsuo ,

We don’t have many big fast food chains here in France.

But MacDo seem to be indeed the only one trying to be decent.

The staff is still very much underpaid/overworked but at least they try to reduce their waste and improve the quality of the food.

Still a soulless corporation but it seems they are actually doing things pretty well.

Tetsuo ,

Who would ever contest this claim ?!

Tetsuo ,

I suppose there is a security system to prevent just presenting a pic to the cam. But I agree that we shouldn’t trust it.

In any case, biometrics are bad to authenticate people. What’s the point of a key you can’t replace/change…

Tetsuo ,

I call it the depression portal.

Tetsuo ,

Imagine what the Guinness people are thinking about this…

Tetsuo ,

That was indeed the joke.

Not enough Guinness I guess :)

Tetsuo ,

Would you rather travel riding Mitch or a Boeing plane ?

I would pick Mitch any day.

What's stopping you from using Ecosia? Your searches could plant trees! (www.ecosia.org)

Ecosia is a search engine that aggregates search results from multiple other search engines. The ad revenue from our searches funds the planting of trees worldwide. With over 200 million trees planted so far, Ecosia have learned to be fully transparent about their projects, and financials which are available right on that...

Tetsuo ,

You should probably not call all reforestation as bullshit projects just based on a John Oliver video.

There is this interesting blog post on Ecosia :

cariki.co.uk/blogs/…/is-ecosia-legit-or-fake#:~:t….

I understand this is just a blog but there is good sources in there. Ecosia looks like a serious initiative and the fact that they got a B corp rating in Germany is impressive.

Tetsuo ,

Fuck this.

There will be literally ads everywhere soon.

Ads in the street, on TV, on the radio, in magazines, on the internet, in games (including in VR)…

It’s a nightmare it will be completely impossible to go through one minute of your life without being sold something.

It’s not really something new but it saddens me because gaming was one of the few space that was mostly spared by advertisers. One of the last place you could get out of your reality for a little while.

Now this is over. Just like Netflix people will go up in arms against ads and then still get Free2Play games showing ads and normalize that practice.

Tetsuo ,

The dualsense controller is pretty good.

My issue with it is that the trigger buttons quickly got a bit mushy and loose. Didn’t help to play a ton of Rocket League on it but still it’s not a very durable controller.

Also, the battery was completely fucked up by the fact that I was playing it wired on PC. It was all the time charging when I was playing and then apparently discharging when the computer was off. Support is also pretty poor on PC and you often get games that are not compatible.

I’m interested in replacing it eventually by a good hall effect third party controller. Probably the Gamesir T4 Kaleid or something similar.

Tetsuo ,

Meanwhile Larian studio reminding everyone that a good way to make money and avoid layoffs is to be nimble and make good games.

Big Corps sees nimble and good studio making a good game, starts layoffs immediately.

The real murderers are the people that sell their studio to a big publisher. They immediately seal the fate of their teams. They will have layoffs eventually…

Tetsuo ,

Thank you.

Now I don’t want to eat for the rest of my life.

Tetsuo ,

A long time ago I used a CLI download manager that could download from different mirrors at the same time.

I think it was a tool called axel and it worked very well.

Tetsuo ,

That’s what pisses me off with the steam review bombing.

If that’s the only way to express discontent then that will fucking sucks for everybody involved in game development.

If at least review bombing was a last resort but now it’s the norm. These reviews will have a lasting effect on the game even though the drama bubble has now popped.

Tetsuo ,

Sure let’s destroy this game all together because of this issue.

A well thought out and mature reaction is to pretend the game is bad in the steam reviews even though you clocked 100+ hours into it.

I mean there is a ton of things Helldivers does better than any other games and we are gonna trash that because of a PSN account requirements ?

I understand this is a valid issue for certain players but is it a proportionate response to this situation to trash the game on steam? I don’t think so.

Tetsuo ,

No problem.

Legit question: Did you completely stopped playing Helldivers 2 ?

Is it uninstalled?

Did you ask for a refund ?

Because if you still play the game and at the same time say it should be trashed that’s a lot of hypocrisy.

It can’t be both. You can criticize the game that’s fine. But if you still play it and you are so vocal for its demise then you are definitely part of the problem here.

Tetsuo , (edited )

So you are asking other players to review bomb and try to kill a game you never bought yourself?

Fascinating.

Edit: I think the above conversation is a good example of why I don’t think Steam Review Bombing is the best solution. You get people delivering fake reviews sometimes for games they don’t even play themselves. I understand why they do that I just don’t think that’s the right way to do so. And also thinks it’s not fair for the actual devs working on the project.

Tetsuo ,

First would you mind telling me where I defend Sony ?

It must be very subtle.

This conversation already starts in bad faith. You are trying to undermine my comment by declaring I’m taking side with Sony. There is nothing in my recent comments that says Sony has done something right or that I agree with their move. Nothing.

Am I allowed to genuinely think this account issue wasn’t that much of a big deal ? Or do I only get to choose if I’m a Sony shill or not ? I have seen my favorite game franchise getting shat on for years by their developers (EA) and I have seen things thousands of time much worse from EA than this account requirement from PS. Still right to call out Sony for this but this is not a “this game is unplayable” issue like we had many times on other games. So yeah I have a nuanced opinion on this and didnt immediately accept that Sony murdered Helldivers 2 and that the game is dead.

My suggestion is not complicated. Stay truthful in your reviews. That’s not rocket science. A lot of these reviews are rating or presenting the game as much worse than they really think it is. Most of these players will review bomb and will play hundred of hours just after that. I’m fucking French I understand what protests are and that being an annoyance is kind of the point. But review bombing on steam and telling a naive player that would definitely enjoy the game that the game is trash will never be cool. You can say in your review that you don’t like that aspect of the game but if the point is only to be negative and untrustworthy this is not the way. Again if you truly suddenly think that game is “the worst game ever” after playing hundreds of hours and learning of the PS requirements then fine but I doubt it’s what happens.

Also did you stop to think what is your comment bringing to the table here ? It’s just an unnecessarily aggressive comment and doesn’t either provide anything beside telling me I’m wrong and it’s a bad take.

It’s a bad take to tell people their only means of effective protest is not going through proper channels.

Steam review bombing is absolutely not the proper channel to voice discontent. It’s a review. Not a forum, not a dev support channel. It’s a review. You are giving your honest feedback on a game. The good and the bad. Not just “the thing everyone told me is bad” and nothing else.

This is not cool to tell devs their game is trash on the steam page if you don’t really and truthfully think so.

Absolutely despise th fact that devs have to constantly read their game is trash in steam reviews because some higher-ups decided to go full greed mode.

So yeah Steam REVIEWS are NOT the proper channel to voice discontent. Almost any other forum or social network is. Just not a steam review page.

Why using crypto for the donations? Why XMR in particular?

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I’ve enjoyed Mark Rober’s videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn’t sitting right with me...

Tetsuo ,

Also a 5mn ad break to sell his kit felt much too long.

It’s like 1/3 of the video.

Tetsuo ,

I think these are not blocked by default by sponsor block because it’s an ad for the creator’s products.

But anyway it’s far too long.

Felt like a LTT video…

Tetsuo ,

Same devs as the Nvidia driver installer?

I always select the custom install option and always get recommended the same version that is already installed.

(Physics engine or something).

Tetsuo ,

Great acting honestly.

Conan was probably suffering a lot from that last dab… Even the host seemed a bit concerned by the amount of sauce on the last wings.

One of the best episodes for sure.
