you posted this on a open source platform that someone bothered to create.

In the US, publically traded companies have a legal obligation to make as much money for their shareholders as legally possible (See Ford getting sued by shareholders after giving workers raises). It would be borderline illegal for a company to adjust their algorithm in a way that makes them less competitive.

This needs to be regulated by government, not the companies themselves. Thay would mean that the companies would be forced to all change their algorithms at the same time, and not impact their competitiveness.

So the government going after tiktok is a good first step, IF it does the same thing to Facebook / instagram / YouTube / snapchat. But I’m betting it won’t be because those companies spend an absurd amount of money on lobbying.

this is just how capitalism works - you have to appeal to your audience more than your competition, and guess which kind of content teenagers want to watch more. Hell, even adults want fun content as opposed to educational content.

they’re not willingly selling a worse society for profit, that’s just the only way to stay competitive.

any platform that pushes educational content in North America would just not get any customers and go bankrupt.

edit: there’s plenty of educational video platforms out there, like Khan academy. Try and get your kids to scroll through that during their free time instead, I bet they won’t.

my chrome even sometimes gives me a winky face “;)”

I don’t think a OS should ever be LESS open about what a user can do. It should be on the user to do their due diligence and have high availability systems setup.

Only reason Linux wasn’t affected as much was luck. this could just as easily have happened to Linux systems if the broken update targetted Linux.

We (this community especially) criticize windows for not being more open like Linux, and all of a sudden we’re saying it should’ve been more like Apple?

If you had a Samsung fridge, and you willingly put a bomb in the fridge, would you blame Samsung when your fridge explodes?

Microsoft gives you the freedom to install software that runs with the same level of privilege as the kernel itself. You’re the one that chose to install defective software, and then give it kernel level permissions. You put a bomb in your computer and now you’re blaming Microsoft after the bomb exploded.

Microsoft didn’t make the decision to allow the faulty input, the person who installed the software did, when they gave it permission to run in kernel mode.

I don’t remember much about plex photos, but facial (and object) recognition, photo map, easy sharing through albums (without the other person needing an account), and being open source are some features I imagine plex photos does not have.

it seems barebones still, because it is a very young app, and the UI is not great, especially on mobile.

It is the best replacement for Google photos that I have seen though.

+1 to immich

However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it’s own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)

You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn’t have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)

But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!

Can’t wait for self-replicating scam bots

nothing is legally due, Sony more than likely has clauses in their ToS that say they can remove access to content for whatever reason.

Morally fucked up, but legally fine.

Tbf Apple users are the same type of users who would pay a Netflix subscription fee for games, so the strategy checks out.

netlify is amazing for static sites.

for some reason my first playthrough barely had any bugs outside of visual glitches, then after doing ng+ 10 times and starting my 2nd proper playthrough in ng+10, my outposts were broken, ship kept taking off with only the interior, crashes every time I play, I have 2 pet rocks that now float around my ship forever, my gun doesn’t come back up after I stop sprinting, and phase time occasionally breaks, lasts forever, and only lets me shoot once.

Don’t know what changed, but it seems the game slowly gets more buggy the more you play it, and some bugs bug out your save and any later saves, instead of just the session.

enjoy the bugless experience while it lasts.

Also, doing the temples 240 times was not fun lol…

OP is clearly a tier 2 ISP who is reselling bandwidth

I live in Canada.

would really spark some anger after people get stranded with disabled cars while camping for prolonged periods of time, or just parking underground while flying abroad.

You could easily avoid this by just changing your DNS server to something hosted outside of Italy like Google or CloudFlare right? Seems trivially easy to circumvent, for someone who’s already going out of their way to pirate media.
