itll do the opposite im afraid, OW! Hot… ugh that awful smell of burning plastic.

Thats really insightfull.

Whats Ninite?

Funnally enoigh, the reason for and against game companies exploiting a critical vulnrability to access to ring -1 is way stronger. If you installed an anticheet to ring -1, No MoRe PiRiCy, nobody needs to know its there, nobody can remove it, its not like your system is unusable now, and best yet, its a verry big target for other shady types to join the ring -1 party. /s

That TOS would be sus under any other situation.

If users have verry much control and we can coordinate then you could gaslight the AI into a screwed up alternate reality

They dutifully note that, this is the next best thing.

ive had 2 old touchwhiz phones, i often replace the home screen of my phone and on one of them, event the notification shade. On the old s5, featues didnt mesh well and on both the notification shade was an awful unchangable theme. I once made a touchwhiz phone un-factory-resettable

What idiot wrote that one by hand

Your right, I don’t think those Israel companies got a backdoor from apple. A “magic packet” backdoor is too hard to hide into the code and would tank their trust FAST. However, They do encrypt the system files to prevent reverse engineering. iPhones then have enough bad practices (see: the IMessage post) (some of them oddly specific) to make a software developer cry in the corner. Incompetence, UX tunnel vision or intentional flaws. (honestly I don’t know the answer)

there was some sort of joke calling someone a fascist here, removed by mod

When you do what microsoft wants, they dont punish you. Microsoft have found a way to treat users like employees. Every company knows to punch an employee above the belt (by nesesity of a cruel world or optionally pretend its true), apologise, give them cake and pray they develop a relationship.

For those that whisper “union” to coworker, punch below the belt, look tough and walk away.

The big problem is it also (accedentially or not) harms interoperability. (Nothing is as safe as saving a video to your local storage media. Because they beleave access to youtube is earned not owed, even if you paid them real money for access. Soo many fairly and unfairly deleted yt videos.) There are many tools for youtube that scrape the site for metadata or the video/audio itself but because their 3rd parties too small to even pay atention to, they have not been blessed by Alphabet inc. (discord music bot, yt-dlp, the wayback machine equivlant for youtube videos, DIY TV streaming boxes like Kodi, nicer FOSS android apps like Newpipe, socialblade, etc…) I fear these could be broken by a change like this. Its secretly just the twitter/reddit API debate again.

Yoo what you like to watch, or more accurately what do you wanna keep after the site dies. Ive neen meaning to archive the yt videos others watch as well as my own for a while now.

Use yt-dlp for however long it works, this assumes you know decently well how to organize an mp3 library.

And of cource i misread that as “CEO is Mr. mark toesucker”

Wellp, Nintendo intentionally breaks their own games if you pirate their stuff. Not allowing bribes is a simmlar looking situation. “This product is defective the last person who had their hands on it mustve screwed it up somehow.”

Invite only is a technique that becomes a hinderance and gimmic after about 100k members.

How is it on shakey ground, We may for a while just stay niche but active and high quality.

Ot makes no sense,
