OfficerBribe, (edited ) to privacy in This is how I KNOW it works as intended

CNN might be the only site I’ve seen that actually checks if you have made a cookie choice then. The whole cookie acceptance thing is dumb, but they are following the law.

Thankfully there is a plan that EU will make changes fo current policy so those popups might go away.

Assassin’s Creed is free of DRM?

While Soulseek is a great option, would recommend Deemix as the primary download method unless Deezer hosted album is some very bad remaster and you need to hunt down older release. You either need a premium account or find something called “ARL cookie” to download above 128 kbps MP3.

OfficerBribe, to privacy in Cops Used DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face—and Tried to Run Facial Recognition on It

I am on the same boat. Somewhat similar thing was already done by those forensic sketch people that drew how a person might look like after x years if they had earlier photo. It’s not like those sketches meant they are irrefutable proof, just a method to potentially find what you are looking for and then investigate further.

That said, this feels like grasping at straws. I cannot fathom how with only DNA sample you could get an accurate portrait that face recognition could then match.

OfficerBribe, to privacy in Apple is finally allowing full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone

Same here, but I have disabled it for Firefox and let uBlock handle browser. Some sites detected and disliked DNS level blocking.

It’s the other way around. DNS based filters are more efficient since connection attempt is simply dropped, but browser based adblocks are a lot more feature rich allowing blocking specific HTML elements not just domains. Additional CPU power to have such extension is miniscule compared to what you gain.

OfficerBribe, to asklemmy in Best android app for news aggregation?

I suggest RSS as well.

1 problem with standard RSS readers though is that posts are sorted in chronological order so you might miss most popular articles of the day. Can recommend Inoreader, have used it for 8 years and really like it. They cache articles on their own server side so it allows hot/trending section which I assume is based on clicks from other users. You can read your feed also through browser / PC.

Maybe not false advertising, guess it’s true that only commercial products could be called that. Misleading then, bad marketing (probably also only for commercial things so not really), I don’t know how to call it.

Just a weird choice, that’s all. Same if you would add Metallica album if you showcase some hobby project meant to host royality free music :)

What entitlement? I am just saying it’s weird that you would add games with DRM in mockup for a project that’s about DRM-free games. Gay porn or any porn for that matter would also not fit in DRM-free game category.

I would call it more like false advertising. Showing a screen that in theory is not possible unless you pirate or just make mockups.

OfficerBribe, (edited ) to piracy in Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday

Not a cinema guy, but assuming those movies are encrypted with modern standards, it is practically impossible if you simply would steal the media. Could be done if you could tap into the original playback device where movie plays and pull decrypted copy out of it.

Edit: As per this AES 128 is used so good luck if you ever stumble upon an encrypted copy.

OfficerBribe, to piracy in Looks like DRM prevented to watch movies in many theaters yesterday

Not familiar with cinema projectors, but as I have gatherered from this forum problem is caused by KDM (used to decrypt movie) provider / reseller called Deluxe. Neither Sony or this cinema chain is at fault and problem indeed seems worldwide.

I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

Find it very hard to believe to be honest. Could this be simply some rumour from colleagues? Doubt any vendor would implement anything like this, drives could be simply encrypted to protect data if they ever get stolen.

OfficerBribe, to piracy in Where to find flac and other lossless file types

Can’t comment on FLAC quality / availability to be honest because I download only 320 kbps MP3. I just know there is a quality setting for it.

OfficerBribe, to selfhosted in Update: Everyone said GameVault's UI was garbage, so we completely overhauled it.

Slightly weird choice to post that in official project site when FAQ mentions piracy is not endorsed :)

OfficerBribe, (edited ) to asklemmy in How to stop eating junk food?

Try to replace what you currently eat with something else that is snacky but healthy like carrots, nuts or grapes.
