NORD have to sign off on them, they are responsible for their image. It's still on them.

How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?
Reply in thread
Clarification, Google doesn't sell the info itself, it guards that jealously, they sell targeted advertising. They say "we can make sure your advert gets to the people who want your stuff" to the ad companies and sell advertising space on that premise. The ad companies don't know your political leanings, but Google does and makes its money by targeting you with ads relevant to that and other aspects they've identified about you.
Google/Meta don't sell the info specifically because that info is how they provide their "unique" service.

AVClub: What went wrong with Elemental—and where does Pixar go from here?
The comments of the article make some good points too. The premise is both more complicated and less interesting than the more we'll received titles, and it just seems much less fleshed out.

What are your favorite indie games on PS5?
I quite enjoyed Wytchwood, that is a charming fairy tale crafting game, and Stray is a good one if you like cats. Bugsnax is also unironically a good game involving catching weird bug-like creatures. Subnautica is brilliant as is Outer Wilds, both great exploration games, though for a shorter experience try Abzu. On the puzzle side I'd recommend tetris effect or Humanity. I think most, if not all, are on Extra, though a few I might have got a monthly offers on ps plus.

What Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?

I've tried that one but I'm not a fan of the swipe to engage because I'm cack handed and keep accidentally up- or down-voating or bringing up the reply box as I scroll. I know other people like that interface though.

I second this. Hamilton often uses similar technology and themes and this is my favourite version of his take on the future of humanity. Definitely epic

Sad but true. Hopefully AI hardware and graphics hardware will see differentiation on due course, but I'm not holding out much hope
