I’ve proactively blocked automatic updates on my watch in anticipation of them doing a rug pull on the feature.

Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.
jon@lemmy.tfto Cities: Skylines@lemmy.ml•People who have been playing Cites: Skylines 2: What do you think of the game in its current state?English2·2 年前It’s still fairly rough, although they have pushed several patches that helped significantly improve the absolute trash the game was on launch day.
Still no modding support, which was originally supposed to be a day-one feature. DLC release also got delayed. Maybe it’ll be a good game by mid to late 2024.
The vast majority of the popular accounts are not run by the women on the profile. Most of them pay friends or agencies to manage the page for them, they simply show up to photo shoots every now and then and enjoy the easy money.
UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.
jon@lemmy.tfto Trees@lemmy.world•Biden is pardoning thousands convicted of marijuana charges on federal lands and in WashingtonEnglish2·2 年前There are bills to reschedule or deschedule it every year, every one so far has failed. As of today, marijuana is federally illegal, thus any federal criminal charges stand unless otherwise pardoned/commuted.
Federal agencies have been asked to reduce their amount of arrests for simple, nonviolent possession, but there’s still plenty of people getting freshly charged at both the federal and state level today.
jon@lemmy.tfto Trees@lemmy.world•Biden is pardoning thousands convicted of marijuana charges on federal lands and in WashingtonEnglish6·2 年前Marijuana is still classified as a schedule 1 drug and remains federally illegal.
You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android AuthorityEnglish242·2 年前That counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It’s a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android AuthorityEnglish2921·2 年前Why would they need to look into Apple’s conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple’s internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.
Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They’d lose all customer trust instantly if they didn’t.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•Spammers are starting to use email addresses with "renewal" in the address, bypassing junk filters. How do we fight this without blocking legitimate renewal emails?English2·2 年前I run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•The Day Before mods lock down Discord, urge players to refundEnglish407·2 年前Backing a Kickstarter for a game is the same as preordering. Money leaves your pocket and enters the studio’s before the game is out.
jon@lemmy.tfto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Fuck Subscriptions. Here is how to setup Streamio like a proEnglish855·2 年前Your title should be “fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998” since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.
jon@lemmy.tfto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i openEnglish551·2 年前Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.
Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.
Maybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.
Or quit using his code altogether.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.English391·2 年前Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Cities: Skylines 2 dev says it won't release paid DLC until performance "fixed to our standards"English2·2 年前If they had released mod tools on day 1 like they originally said, most of the game-breaking issues would have been addressed by modders by now.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Cities: Skylines 2 dev says it won't release paid DLC until performance "fixed to our standards"English21·2 年前If the game doesn’t meet their own standards, why exactly did they bother releasing it instead of delaying PC like the consoles were?
Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys
Apple poached engineers from the company that owns the patent for the blood oxygen sensor, rather than bothering to license their tech. Company sued and Apple lost, now their products are under an import ban.
