Exactly. And unless RCS with e2ee is made equally available to companies other than Google and is implemented by the carriers, RCS will continue to be a monopolistic data-harvesting grift.
I’m surprised there is not more outrage directed at Google over this.
I get it.
I can’t use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.
I am guessing you don’t want an old Steam Controller? You might want the new one Valve is making, but unfortunately I don’t think details or a release date have been announced yet.
STOP USING DISCORD
And there are no better camera hardware else where
Sony and their Xperia phones would like a word.
I had trouble with it too. The site told me to disable all the privacy settings on my browser, at which point I simply decided that the whole thing was no longer worth my time and data.
I’m so sorry you’re getting downvoted. The fact that your comment currently has more downvotes than upvotes – for making accurate statements and supporting feminism – reflects why women don’t stick around on Lemmy. I think it’s time for me to leave too; I don’t want to be part of a community where this many men are anti-feminist. These guys should really take a class on feminism, sex, and gender studies.
I really wanted to play this before I knew it was predatory and manipulative gotcha garbage.
I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.
I don’t care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.
It’s hit and miss. I was getting bad switches in Logitech mice back in 2005. The double-click problem has been around for a long time.
If you live in the US, your state may have an “implied warranty” law that extends the warranty of the device you bought. I think for most states that have such laws, the warranty period is 4 years. Many states have such laws but I can’t find a list online. If you have an implied warranty and valve doesn’t honor it, you can get the state involved.
Sorry your Steam deck broke. Devices like this should last many years, especially when the only moving parts are the buttons and the fan.
Can we please ban electronic advertising already? And billboards? Society would be better off without them.
My 17-year-old account is at $600. That’s an average of $35 per year.
Most of my gaming spending for the last 8 years has been on Nintendo Switch. That number is too embarrassing to post.
I love backside buttons for you all who use them, but I don’t ever want them to be anything more than non-essential programmable buttons. I personally can’t stand them, but as long as they are optional for gaming, I don’t mind that they are there.
Do you know what their enforcement mechanism is for a situation like this, where a company like Clearview is doing it against Illinois residents but it’s all happening online?
Yes. I use a FireFox extension called ViolentMonkey that allows you to install scripts.
There is a script called Simple YouTube Age Restriction Bypass: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file
Install the script in Violent Monkey and you should be all set to watch age restricted videos in Firefox without signing in.
Yeah. It is oddly worded in places, but otherwise seems fine. I didn’t see any grammatical errors.
Edit: No, you’re right:
Windows 11 Phone Link accomplishes the same thing, and it approaches Android connection in the same way Unison does. However, it’s limited to Android and iOS users who can’t utilize the function due to how Windows approached compatibility in the first place.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Yeah Google claims it’s not recording, storing or being sent the conversations or sharing them with anyone, and that this is all done ‘on-device’.
The thing is, I don’t trust them. At all.
Maybe the terms and conditions will silently change. Maybe their definitions of “recording” and “save” will change. Maybe they’re blatantly lying and are willing to pay a fine if they get caught.
Google’s whole business model is harvesting and selling people’s data, so I have to assume the worst intentions.
