Yeah ditto :( but Jenny Nicholson released a 4 hour video on the Star Wars Hotel just recently.

Cake day: June 17th, 2023
You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I mean, a jellyfin server is typically full of copyright protected material. I also wouldn’t expect them to notify you in advance, however they should still send some notice when they stop providing the service you’ve paid for.
3·20 days agoThat’s the crux of it here. Microsoft wanted to get into the data game they saw Facebook and Google reaping. However, Microsoft still charge you for the software they use to harvest your data.
Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority
Didn’t they already do that a decade or two ago??
Nah, the reason MS products are such a mess is that they gave up on desinging software for the user and instead focused on what they could get out of it (stealing user data).
FYI Win+D sucks ass, because when you open something on your desktop it resets. Instead, if you use Win+M you will minimise all windows, then Win+Shift+M will restore them, regardless of any other windows you’ve opened.
Why are you hitting Win+R and using it to crop screenshots when you could just use Win+Shift+S and take the screenshot properly to begin with? Snipping Tool also allows you to do basic doodles, and it even has the ability to move straight to Paint if you want to do anything slightly more advanced.
95% of the time, I just need cut, rotate and resize.
Rotating in (classic) Paint is actually a huge challenge lol
Yeah but if they did that they wouldn’t be able to snoop and steal content from their users.
It utterly disgusts me that Microsoft charges you for the software they use to harvest your data. At least Facebook and Google can maintain the facade that it’s an exchange of data for access to the service (it never was).
its raster graphics editor included in every version of Windows since 1985
Incredibly misleading. The new version of Paint in Windows 11 is a completely different piece of software, and older versions of Windows (10 and below) will not have this function.
The day I can no longer use Windows 10 will be the day I move to Linux. I’ve already started using virtual machines for certain things so maybe performance will go up there.
Don’t recommend Brave either lol.
I remember it also let you spoof your user agent, and had a built in email client. It was just generally feature rich.
The company responded, but the shareholders voted on each of the proposals. While certain shareholders made the proposals, the shareholders overall voted against it.
The board recommended voting against it, but the shareholders collectively did that.
More accurately, Amazon shareholders voted against the proposals.
Nooooooo. I can’t remember my ICQ, maybe I still have it somewhere, but this is still sad.
At least IRC is still going.
Edit:
In its heyday, ICQ boasted over 100 million users on its platform, which was a remarkable achievement at the time. In 2010, ICQ was purchased by Mail.ru (now VK), who has since owned the products as it declined in use.
Today, ICQ announced that they are shutting down on June 26th, recommending that users switch to VK Messenger and Workspace.
So apparently Russian business killed it.
Dammit lmao the joke has stuck so hard I forget which one is the real one.
Is it filled with nitrogen?
Erm, WhatsApp would suggest otherwise.
WhatsApp was the vector for zero click access to a target’s phone from Israel’s weapons grade hacking Pegasus toolkit. They would send a video call, typically in the middle of the night, and with no input from the used they’d get full access. My personal belief is that they used functionality WhatsApp itself uses to access user data.
There was also an encrypted phone called ANOM, which had this trick calculator app with a hidden encrypted messager. “Made for criminals, by criminals”. Except, when the guy started his business he got investment from the FBI and Australian Federal Police to pay for the servers and some of the phones themselves. Basically every time it sent an encrypted message it sent a separate encrypted message to the ANOM servers. It’s entirely possible (perhaps even likely) that WhatsApp would do this also.
As for Google, they’re truly insidious. Lots of banks now require you to connect to Google captcha servers - they don’t give you the pictures, it’s just the back end, basically the tracking parts. Then there’s the controversy about them collecting location data when users have said no. They absolutely do collect data they shouldn’t.
