seeing as copilot says at the start of every conversation that it will be recorded, not to mention their massive (non)privacy policy and terms of use, this isn’t really news. this is just a fact

alternate headline: company looks at data they tell you they will monitor

if you got it from Amazon, they can preload your account and wifi details that you previously used with their products

I kinda assumed this was the case, and some higher ups likely know this too. I know in Ontario, when you get fingerprinted by the police, it’s not just your fingers, they’ll take your whole palm print. Billions of people in the world, very unlikely anyone is 100% unique.

It exists and people hate it. If you want reddit go to reddit.

Ugh, the possibility of accurate reporting and display of what’s really going on?

DISGUSTING! Sweep it under the rug and spout opinions as facts!

I switched to Vivaldi a couple months ago, and previously used brave in the past before growing to dislike it. It surprises me how many brave-heads ignore Vivaldi’s existence. It’s just a better Brave. No crypto BS and lots of poweruser features.

I’ve been enjoying Chris Edwards Restoration recently. He works on a lot of old Amigas.

It’s almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole

Reminder to get Indie Wiki Buddy to automatically be redirected to ad-free versions of fandom wikis or to be redirected to actual genuine wikis, for example, TF2 Fandom Wikis get redirected to the official TF2 Wiki.

the only addons you need for blocking ads on youtube are ublock origin and sponsorblock. multiple adblockers used together can and will cause conflicts and impair the ability to properly block things.

They’re right here on the threadiverse

Yeah, nowhere near the size of reddit, but who wants that? Easier to have discussions without bazillions of people posting crap like “works for me” or being dicks.

I don’t really trust other alternatives. Being unfederated, they rely on a closed source solution maintained by a single person or very small group of people. There’s nothing in place if the plugs ever get pulled, everything is lost and like reddit, whose to say these owners won’t turn their website slowly into the cesspit reddit is?

Yeah, an instance owner of lemmy/kbin could theoretically pull the plug on their instance or enshitify it, but you can just switch to a different instance and keep accessing the content you were.

More like added to the list of “wait till pirates fix it”

Will happen sooner than it being officially removed.

You cannot steal what is not physical. Theft implies removing a physical object from somewhere, creating a loss of an item.

Digital information is 1s and 0s, and you just create a copy. You do not remove the original one. There is no theft taking place.

The value of a product does not go down because I didn’t pay for it. If anything, if it’s a quality product, the value goes up. If I pirate something and enjoy it, chances are I will pay for it when I can afford to. If I pirate something and don’t enjoy it, well, I wasn’t going to buy the product anyway so there’s no loss. Let’s say I watch a movie at a friend’s house and absolutely hate it. I do not buy the movie. How is that different than pirating it and coming to the same conclusion? I see the movie without paying money.

Yes and no

ahaha one of the best uses of sweet bro and hella jeff i’ve seen. got a huge nostalgia hit from this lol

I don’t buy this. Plenty of games allow you to adjust gravity on the fly using console commands. All they would have to do if you enter a new planet’s atmosphere, is adjust the gravity value.

Source engine has allowed this forever, changing gravity on the fly. No reason it can’t be implemented in other engines.

If I’m talking to a friend I want them to be themselves and genuine. Having someone else compose a message for them, AI or human, invades my privacy and tells me that they don’t want me to see who they genuinely are. Talk to me like you normally do. Don’t paraphrase everything you want to say through a third party. We’re not strangers, there’s no need for everything to be professional. I’m friends with YOU, and I’m talking to YOU. Don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t.

To me this is less about AI vs Human, it’s just the fact the friend isn’t being genuine.

YOU ARE ALL WEAK, YOU ARE ALL BLEEDERS!

Yeah, stuff like crossposting is one thing. People do it across communities and subreddits, so may as well post stuff on both sites so you can get inputs from both userbases.

But the automatic copying stuff is too much. I blocked the lemmit bot almost as soon as it showed up because it became almost impossible to not see content that was being copied over by it.
