The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet

I’m sure the privacy minded people like it. As opposed to a translating service knowing all the webpages you’re reading.

Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

They were. One user got so upset he live-streamed himself individually deleting every post and comment he’d ever made. Reddit restored it all right after.

Why We’re Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras
I actually had this glitch or something similar. Was staying with a friend when I got an activity alert…but it was from their camera. IIRC all it gave me was a still frame of them standing in front of it. I never bothered reporting it to Wyze. I figured it was some rare glitch because I had given my friend that camera (it was now on their account and not linked to mine).

Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

Lyft now lets drivers prioritize matches with women and nonbinary riders
Reply in thread
Conceptually, sure. But I imagine it’d be a potential lawsuit over workplace discrimination. Especially if the female drivers are being paid more for the same service.

Driverless Cruise car runs over woman hit by another driver
Reply in thread
I disagree. Human drivers kill over 40,000 Americans a year. If there’s an alternative that kills less than 40,000 a year we should take it. Ideally mass transit but America seems to like cars.
