I don’t consider those comments regarding Matrix as problematic. Don’t use someone else’s server if you don’t trust them - including a third party lookup server.

Just clarifying for the ones who don’t know: Element is a Matrix client.
It’s on my new VW ID.7 in Europe at least. Drove during dark for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty amazing seeing the matrix headlights “sculpt” the light around other cars.
Distracting in the beginning, but you get used to it.
All of the statements in the claim need to be fulfilled - so while that if looks correct it’s only a very small part of the actions described. Example:
in association with selecting, based on a selection operation,[…], wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;
IANAL - but I’ve worked for Big Company and have gone through the patent process a few times. A patent isn’t what’s written in the supporting text and abstract. It’s only the exact thing written out in the claims.
First claim from the patent the abstract is from:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a game program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to provide execution comprising:
controlling a player character in a virtual space based on a first operation input;
in association with selecting, based on a selection operation, a boarding object that the player character can board and providing a boarding instruction, causing the player character to board the boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move, wherein the boarding object is selected among a plurality of types of objects that the player character owns;
in association with providing a second operation input when the player character is in the air, causing the player character to board an air boarding object and bringing the player character into a state where the player character can move in the air; and
while the player character is aboard the air boarding object, moving the player character, aboard the air boarding object, in the air based on a third operation input.
Exactly everything described above must be done in that exact same way for there to be an infringement.

Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.
This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)

What has argument from authority to do with facts?
You only get posts from those you subscribe to. That’s the “pull” part.
Why would I subscribe to a fake account pushing ads?
Please think your argument through at a technical level. How would Meta be able to push posts-masking-as-users to only non-EU citizens?
The simple answer is that no, there’s no way Meta can push ads into clients and/or servers that aren’t under their control. They also don’t need to - Threads is much bigger than the Mastodon-part of the fediverse.
They’re already training on that data. No signals of relevance here.
Of course it does. The EU is such a big market that Meta cannot afford to do that.
As I have already posted elsewhere in this thread, if they post ads as a user they would get shut down by the EU immediately.
Any other suggestions?
Please post one of those ways and I’ll shoot it down.
Sure, but that cannot happen here.
Agree. I’m an absolutely awesome software dev myself - and I know C by heart (being my favorite language after assembler). However, with age comes humility and the ability to recognize that I will write buggy code every now and then.
Better the language saves me when I can’t, in security critical situations.
