  • ‘Pokémon Go’ players have been unknowingly training delivery robots

    Jump

  • This is - unfortunately - not surprising. Niantic has always been in the business of selling/using user data for profit, they were a spin-off from Google after all. Their first big game, Ingress, was used to train Google Maps.

  • The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem | How did the GOP become a haven for slogans and ideas straight out of the Third Reich?

    Jump

  • I agree with you and the lineage is obvious when looking at how Steve Bannon pushed GamerGate at Breitbart and then went straight on to become Trump's campaign manager.

    And Bannon's name missing from that article is one of the article's major flaws, considering how much Bannon shaped the MAGA movement as a whole.

  • What did you get fired for?

    Jump

  • The official reason for me getting fired were budget cuts, but I knew that the new department head actually wanted to hand my responsibilities to a buddy of theirs they had brought on board. Despite being there longer at the department than the new head and their buddy, as well as excellent performance reviews I had no chance to keep that job.

  • We Are Watching a Scientific Superpower Destroy Itself

    Jump

  • After years of giving a platform to climate change denialism, transphobic fearmongering, pearl clutching over too much woke at liberal colleges, both-sideing the efficacy of vaccines and indulging in Covid conspiracy nonsense, the NYT has finally achieved its goal.

  • LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.

    Jump

  • I remember when Microsoft first attempted to prevent the standardisation of Open Document Format (used by LibreOffice and others) and then bullied its way into getting approval for own OOXML standard. Already back then, supporters of FOSS warned that Microsoft would use the overly complicated OOXML to maintain its stranglehold on users of Office-like software.:

    Whenever applicable and possible, standards should build upon previous standardisation efforts and not depend on proprietary, vendor-specific technologies. Albeit, MS-OOXML neglects various standards and uses its own vendor-specific formats instead. This puts a substantial burden on all vendors to fully implement MS-OOXML. It seems questionable how any third party could ever implement them equally well, especially when a standard comes with 6000 pages of specifications without serving its minimalistic purpose.

  • [Nina Paley] Bronchiectasis.

    Jump

  • I was once a fan of Nina Paley, because of her activism against copyright and even bought some of her merch. Then I found out that she is a capital-letters TERF.

    You can find a "TERFy Archive" with all her transphobic writing on her website, she hosts a transphobic podcast with the subtitle "A TERF and a t-slur walk into a podcast studio" which she uses to promote the "autogynephilia" conspiracy theory, among so, so much more transphobia.

    Paley would consider this comment of mine to be "censorship". As usual with her type she wants to dish out, but doesn't want to be criticized for it.

  • I can't take articles such as this one seriously if they don't mention right-wing terrorists recruiting through the same channels and means. That has been a known problem for more than a decade.

    Treating online radicalisation solely as a problem of people with a migrant/non-European/Muslim/... background is very telling and borders on lying by omission.
