Legislatures asleep at the wheel, as usual.

Pick a case: it’s hermits, hismits, theirmits (genitive) or it’s hermits, himmits, themmits (accusative).

I don’t think he knows about second walled-garden.

And yet they provide tons of identifying information about the user to the social media sites that they link to just by loading the button on the page.

Totes.

See if anyone else in the game dev community has experienced this kind of thing before. If it turns out to be a consistent problem then you could try to get a games journalist involved and see if they will write a story. In order to get anything done about it, you have to make enough noise that it comes to the attention of the people who can actually effect a change.

I’m not sure what the solution is though, because when the base concept is already in the public domain, it’s probably something that happens sometimes through pure coincidence. Like the ant movies. Steam would have to have a set of criteria by which they judge if someone is doing it deliberately and maliciously in order to classify it as fraud or impersonation. If it’s a big enough problem and happens regularly, maybe they would consider it though.

Revenue? Okay and how much profit?

Stuff like this is why I no longer want regulations to protect us from big tech. Thank you very much.

I would absolutely support a law to ban targeted advertising. Contextual advertising (based only on the content being viewed) is the only ethical form of advertising (if that’s not an oxymoron), and the surveillance apparatus built to enable targeted advertising is going to be remembered as one of the biggest mistakes in human history - if we ever manage to move past it.

This is not just another incremental release. OpenCV 5 is a major step forward.

Fucking hell.

The abstract mentions the following:

National-survey evidence on time use and sexual behavior is consistent with the iPhone reducing in-person interactions, increasing pornography use, and reducing sexual frequency.

But I would suspect it’s less about pornography and time use and more likely due to easier and more private access to information about birth control and sexual health services, which is usually the primary factor influencing birth rates.

And doesn’t SpaceX now also own xAI and Xitter? He’s trying to offload his terrible investments.

Pretty close to Moore’s Law, a doubling approximately every 18 months.

Slop about slop.

Geo-politics and global trade is not a zero-sum game. In fact trade is one of the earliest and most prevalent examples of a non-zero sum game that benefits all parties and creates the environment necessary for long-term peaceful relations.
