  • “Legal” doesn’t immediately mean “moral”. Everything is legal as long as there isn’t a law specifically banning it, and those laws often only get created as a result of someone abusing their legal right to something.

    Google collects also way more data than you pointed out, in every avenue possible. Ever solved a captcha? You likely helped Google train their image recognition AI. Got an android smartphone (a brand that previously had committed itself to being open-source and linux based)? Have fun with pre-installed unremovable Google Spyware. You’re forced to create a GMail account to interact with the whole App ecosystem of the market.
    Google can remotely (without your consent) download and delete apps on your smartphone, read your personal data (including stuff you have saved on your SD card) and accesses your camera, pictures and GPS-Data regularly.

    I just read an article to prepare for writing this comment and feel actually sick now, I wanna jump ship and get an independent OS, screw the AppStore…



  • This is only the pilot and they’re trying to get the series greenlit.

    Uhhh considering the amount of views and the hype it generated, I hope they reached their goal?
    But in terms of production, well, no idea how long it will take. If they want to make a whole season with episodes on this quality level, then I can imagine you might have to wait 1~2 years minimum? But that’s just my uninformed opinion, take it with a grain of salt. Might be more, might be less.

    Be sure to set the audio track of the video to your preferred language!

    So this animation randomly exploded and made it’s way onto my frontpage.

    I watched it just out of curiosity and have been kind of obsessed over it ever since, so I thought I’d share it with the fediverse.

    To add a little bit of background on why this video went viral, it should be noted that this is produced by indie animation studio called “Glitch” and the creator called “Gooseworx” had a following from a previous animation. I can imagine the artstyle in this one is not everybodies cup of tea, but I am personally amazed by it and very intrigued!

    finally a decent use of this dumbass meme format.

    I hate how the majority of the time this is used, it can be summed up with “girls boring, boys fun haha”.
    Thought we left that sorta thinking behind in elementary school?
    Anyway, fuck gender stereotypes, we’re all just humans trying to wing it.






  • counterpoint: DDOS’ing has been around for a while and is something every mid-sized or bigger online service has to deal with eventually.
    If you release an always online product in order to sell your shitty microtransactions and take away control from the player, then you should at least make sure the always online product can stay online and incorporate some DDOS protection.
