Add-on: same password, same identity.
Reply in thread
You can use KeePass, but you'll have to figure out a way to have your password vault available on other devices (can do it by using any cloud shares, i.e. GDrive). This way you'll be in charge of almost every aspect of your passwords. But you'll have to take care of backups and keep everything in sync.

AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans
To me, this is just part of the progress. With the introduction of technology, they were the ones to take advantage of Photoshop, Instagram filters and all. Now the technology advanced enough to not only be an instrument to enhance their looks, but to fully replace them.

I don't get people that are here in the fediverse and *want to bring over* the content that is on FB, IG, TikTok, etc.

It's a common practice for most of big companies. Infiltrate, take control and destroy.

I have a bit of a different experience. As an engineer, I mostly use English at work, so I usually have issues explaining my area of expertise in my mother tongue and other languages I know. There are lots of terms I know only the English words , so I end up using the term in English or try to translate it and it sounds stupid.

Nokia is not making phones anymore. Those on the market are from HMD Global, a Chinese company which bought the brand name Nokia for mobile.

Fighting pedophilia at the expense of our privacy: The EU rule that could break the internet
Reply in thread
To be honest, I think they are for real convinced that they're pushing this to help fighting pedophilia. Most of the people in the government are so stupid when it comes to technology, you can't even believe it (just watch the TikTok trial, it was the only time I had some empathy towards TikTok). And the worst part is that they tend to get consultants which are even more stupid on the topic, the only thing they have is years of work in one of the Big Four.

Why not make it free? At the end of the education cycle the student will get a job and start paying taxes. Isn't that what society needs? Having educated people to do various jobs. Why putting that behind a crazy paywall?

The future of Threads
This illustration is missing Twitter as well, it is not a phase, I'd say it is a ramification together with Threads.

The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
The Ascent with my wife in local co-op, really nice one as she's not really intro video games, but killing everything on screen and having to coordinate ourselves seems to be enjoyable.
As it's almost Christmas, watching Harry Potter and playing Hogwarts Legacy creates quite the atmosphere for holidays.

You have to download more RAM. Worked for me, now it opens instantly, very often it opens on its own.

Progress to something better or to self-destruction, nothing is forever. The whole social media may disappear at some point, it all depends on the community and human kind as a whole. The simple truth is that people want entertainment, if AI is capable of delivering better, it will be embraced.
I'm not saying that this is good or bad, I don't like it either. So I do what I can to support what I think is good and give my disapprove to what I think is bad. If Instagram becomes a place for AI influencers, I'll just ditch it. This should be the natural reaction of everyone, unfortunately this is what all "influencer" thing was heading to. From the very beginning of their careers they advertise fantasizes, they used every piece of technology available to enhance their looks and lifestyle.

Your Smart TV Knows What You’re Watching
Reply in thread
I tried using free tier NextDNS on a network with 2 Samsung TVs hooked up and hit the threshold of 300k requests within a week. It's mad how much data Samsung is collecting from their smart devices. Even when not using any features, the TV may stay with a screensaver and still send lots of data.
