A ridiculous oversimplified nonsense term. What if I am *reading* during my "screen time"? Does that count or do only dead-wood mediums count?

"It was there for everyone to download. No passwords. Nothing. Hidden in plain sight, but with no protection whatsoever" Just because it is accessible doesn't make it legal to download. If I leave my front door open, walking in and stealing my TV is still theft.

"one for the EU and one for the suckers" Might be the other way round if the EU stripped functionality is something you desire.

"Think all the BSD, MIT, Apache licenses which corpos simply bundle in and are done with it. Those IMO should have a non-commercial use clause."

And they would get a fraction of the use they currently get, meaning other more permissively-licensed alternatives would be used instead.

And then to complete the circle, the companies lose revenue and replace more staff with AI to reduce costs.. and the negative feedback loop is complete.

They didn’t “pick” the source, the Bloomberg article *is* the source. The site you linked is simply quoting from it.

Microsoft created the "flat" look by cutting off the first few pixels horizontally from the Window. This is why if you move the mouse to the left border of a window, the hit area (when the cursor is shown) begins a few pixels to the left. And it terminates exactly on the border. Drives me mad.

The fact that an air fryer is capable of data collection is horrifying

Hospitals and medicines for some don't come at a privacy cost for all.

I suspect the "and" may become a bone of contention.

"...a Chrome or Firefox extension that exports and uploads their recent search data..." Are they having a laugh?

But hours later he posted an update. "GitHub has told me they have raised this as a security issue internally and they are working on a fix."

"Humans know how to deal with a chaotic and constantly changing world" You sure about that?

Most definitely if you are concerned about a real risk of your data/identify being stolen vs a hypothetical risk of some government caring enough about you to steal your data.

The usual Slashdot inaccurate click-bait title.

Apple haven't removed "iCloud encryption", data is still encrypted both on route and in-situ. They have only removed "end to end" encryption, which prevents anyone (including Apple and authorities) other than the user from decrypting the data.

The vast majority of users haven't even heard of "iCloud Advanced Data Protection" (which enables e2e encryption), let alone enabled it (it is off by default).
