This is concrete, thanks. I can work with this.

The arguments the article gives are way to broad to fly around a Thanksgiving table.

They might as well have titled it:

“Ways to convince people to take online privacy seriously (who are already on the fence and leaning so hard in your direction that a stiff breeze would do the job for you)”

Or buy this version and then upgrade the storage yourself.

That doesn’t address the other two bullet points.

It’s like tracking an animal moving in tall grass. You don’t need to be able to see the animal directly to tell where it is.

If I can’t disappear completely, there’s enough data points around me that a useful silhouette can be reconstructed from all the surrounding data.

What’s the point?

Loving-kindness meditation is a practice that encourages you to extend compassion to yourself and then train it like a muscle to be extended further and further out.

Patriotism is love at the national level, but it doesn’t ask you to stop at the border (that’s nationalism).

People should be encouraged to love at the level they can sustain: self > friends & family > community > region > country (patriotism is here) > neighboring countries, etc > world.

“They’ve already got my data”

From our site: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/gotmydata.html

The main retort to this is

“No they don’t - they need to continually replenish their profile on you for it to be useful. If you cut off the supply now, then their power fades.” That’s why their data harvesting is so aggressive. It needs to be, otherwise their promise to advertisers of being able to predict what you’ll want, and when you’ll want it, cannot be fulfilled.

You just need to step off the playing field and their game comes grinding to a halt!

I already “get it” and I don’t find this argument too convincing.

If you’re 25 years old and cut them off, they still have :

• your data from the last 24 years
• the data of everyone in your demographic
• the data of your family, friends, and coworkers

(Yes, I get that it’s different if everyone cuts off data harvesting at the same time, but this is about convincing one person.)

Alt text is like putting Braille next to a sign; it’s a tool for the blind (who use screen readers to access alt text).

It’s also a backup when the image fails to load, but it’s not a substitute for making sure the image is legible for people who can see.

If you add a transcription in the body of the post, that should cover your remaining bases.

Good(?) news: they confirmed that they’re partnering with a different OEM ever since Google’s shenanigans with AOSP.

LTT beat you to the joke.

It’s just not the same, even if they both have “ant” in the name.

SimAnt is a sim where you writhe in burning agony while the spider’s deadly venom flows through your body.

Microsoft Ants was a sweaty online PvP RTS for six year olds two years before StarCraft.

The games :

• Red Alert 2
• Half Life 2: Deathmatch
• Quake 3
• Unreal Tournament
• Quake 2
• Doom
• Transport Tycoon

No Microsoft Ants, though. :(

We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General

• Disabled internal Chromium Embedded Framework services that utilize Google API integration. These were enabled by a configuration change required to continue updating the Steam Chromium framework but are not necessary for usage in Steam.

Desktop Mode

• Fixed some client and overlay popups not saving position when moved.

That’s the whole update.

Whoever came up with the idea of sharing them as a gmail-clone is a genius.

Asianometry covered it two years ago.

Not as “fresh”, but he’s got a pretty good reputation for deep dives and puts sources in the video.
