I was reading the blog post by the casino’s tech person and kept thinking to myself, “this is a casino; they may not be the most reliable narrator”. That said, CF was also stupid slow on taking down kiwi and stormfront, so they’re not great either.

Both of them suck and this whole thing is amusing to me. Hopefully this will serve to improve CF’s behaviour.

TikTok OBJECTIVELY collects far lesser data than Big Tech apps and services

This is not true for a number of reasons, first being that once the data gets sent to a Chinese server, it’s gone. It’s like a void. Those “data collections analysis” can speculate, but they truly have no idea what happens with that data. Another reason that TikTok is as bad as Instagram, is that they farmed all the data from the in-app browser. Every click, scroll, everything.

You can argue that they have a different approach to data farming, and they do: they try and rope you in, trick you into giving them your data. But it’s demonstrable wrong to say that they collect less data. I wouldn’t say they collect more data than typical west social media platforms, but I think it’s disingenuous to say they’re somehow better.

It’s almost like politics touches on every aspect of the lives we live, from the brick we stand in to the air we breathe.

What if I told you that throwing more developers at a problem != that problem getting solved faster?

If it’s within your financial means, please donate to Yuzu

Are you absolutely joking? I’m not donating one cent to those clowns. I hate Nintendo and corporations with a passion, but Yuzu coding their emulator to support an un-release game – and making money off of it – is obviously the most illegal shit. There’s literally no way for emulating a pre-release game to be legal – how would you legally obtain a ROM of that? They did this to themselves. They’re going to way of Bowser rather than other emulators.

Edit: Oh would you look at that, looks like Yuzu settled and is paying Nintendo 2.4 million dollars. That’s weird for a “”“non-profit open source project”“” to do.

Ho hoo, that isn’t smoke, it’s steam, from the steamed rams we’re having! Mmm, steamed rams.

sell all my data, they’re all the same

I could, good point. I do disable plugins for clients so they can’t beat up their own website too much.

Still, there are legitimate uses for opening a site in a new tab; e.g. when it’s an external website. I don’t think I should automate that, since there’s a granularity in there.

I maintain a couple of Wordpress installations for clients, where new link targets are the same page, as you’d expect.

They still, somehow, manually check “link opens in new tab”. I don’t know why some of these boomers are allowed to use computers, I swear.

It’s terrible for tech searches too; half of those results are copy-pasted from Stack Overflow. Though that goes for DDG as well.

I did Nazi that coming.

YouTube still tracks you based on your IP and other environmental variables. Your browser’s user agent alone can tell them something about you. The resolution your screen uses, the speed in which the page loads and many other factors all correlate with certain profile properties.

They may not have your exact name and hometown, but they can definitely generate an indication of income and general area, amongst others.

I mean, the meme doesn’t disprove that. Like, it’s true that the internet did have people saying that. That said, modern social media and their algorithms have made the process (of misinformation) much more streamlined.
