If you’ve got something you’re that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it’s not listening now, it’s only an update away.
Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.
Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There’s no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.
I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.
Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.
It’s just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that’s available now can be a lot of fun, but it’s a long way from where it needs to be, to “change the world”. And yeah, I wouldn’t want it for free since the acquisition.
I’d not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that’s more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there’s a million possibilities. That’s a paranoid perspective.
In reality, I assume if I’m on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn’t. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.
What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective. I’m not a in the writing industry, I’ll do my best.
Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?
The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.
The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray. The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.
There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.
e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place… Need an editor :p
I think that there are a lot of 8 billion people who would disagree with comfortably well. That number needs to be closer to two, to be sustainable with earth’s resources. At least that’s my understanding, not disappointed if wrong.
Oh absolutely, people gonna keep being people. The truth seems to be that we don’t really know, but it’s likely somewhere between 4 and 16 from the little bit of reading up I just did.
I’ll grant that a looot of valve’s revenue is from marketplace & steam store, and sure they sell other products but it’s a drop in the bucket vs gaming. It’s effectively a service for gamers. It’s probably not considered gaming revenue for accounting/internal politics reasons.
I would wager that if it were possible to, you’d be able to link a vast majority of valve’s revenue to the purpose of gaming. Reality vs financial reality?
Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely. But they may provide an early look at some of the games we can look forward to...
For me, I don’t mind that they re-release tesv on whatever potato they can fit it on, it’s that they keep doing this for over 10 years, but where tesvi? Maybe they got grrm writing it.
