Both the People's Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) claim to own all of China and Taiwan. Neither has reneged on their claim.

The reason why you see the west dance around Taiwan is because if they acknowledge Taiwan then they acknowledge Taiwan's claim the mainland China (at least as far as China is concerned).

I think it's time for Taiwan to renounce their claim to mainland China and gain full international support.

Of course, internal politics are probably not that simple. And China would definitely use that as an excuse to invade -- er, restore democracy to -- Taiwan.

Per poterlo utilizzare basta installare l'estensione, scegliere le proprie preferenze e poi premere su "Summarize this page" sull'estensione per poterne avere un riassunto. È anche possibile avere riassunti automatici per email o video di YouTube.

L'applicazione Grayjay sbarca anche su desktop e su tutte le piattaforme.

Grayjay App è pensata per poter seguire i creatori direttamente bypassando le piattaforme ufficiali. Quindi è possibile seguire e vedere video da YouTube (senza pubblicità), Twitch, PeerTube (qualsiasi server), SoundCloud, Odysee, Patreon e altri.

È ancora in beta ma sembra funzionare bene (così come funziona bene anche su Android). L'applicazione, così come tutte quelle di FUTO, è a codice aperto ma con una licenza non completamente open source

@SignorCadere credo che fintanto che i video di YouTube siano liberamente accessibili da web senza paywall o altro non può essere considerato pirateria.

Altro discorso sarebbe invece, per esempio, vedere video di Netflix senza pagare (o contenuti a pagamento di YouTube senza pagare). Bypassare la pubblicità con il proprio dispositivo è da sempre considerato legittimo, così come sono legittimi gli adblock per esempio.

Anche il buon youtube-dl è infatti ancora qui tra noi.

As media scrutiny ticked up Friday, Meta began taking down Liv and other bots’ posts, many of which dated back at least a year, citing a “bug.”

Funny how that works. I don't think the main talking point is the issue that they couldn't be blocked on Instagram. That is a non-answer to the question of why the decision to unleash these creepy, fake users into the wild was made in the first place. Full fledged features aren't suddenly mistakes just because they're getting backlash now. It seems like they're not sorry and they're going to keep trying.

in reply to Maxnmy's

latenightnoir

in reply to Maxnmy's • 3 settimane fa • •

They're not even trying... It's obvious this has been a strategy and not a bug, and the ""apology""/excuse sounds like a boilerplate justification from someone who assumes everyone but them is an idiot.

And, realistically speaking, there's no reason for them to care in the first place. It's not like everyone's stopped using Facebook so far for any of their shady shit, and they've pulled FAR worse shit than bot accounts.

Everyone now understands the limits and they'll take full advantage of the buffer before hitting said limit - be less moronic than Musk and you're golden. It's really not that high of a bar for them.

Edit, to dispel any potential misunderstanding: I'm not defending them with my last statement, that's just how it is! If anything, it is our, the consumers', fault for putting up with this in the first place!

In particular, there was “Liv,” the Meta AI account that has a bio describing itself as a “Proud Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,” and told Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah that Liv had no Black creators — the bot said it was built by “10 white men, 1 white woman, and 1 Asian male,” according to a screenshot posted on Bluesky

I think the Proud Black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller bit explains perfectly why they released the bots onto the wild. They are there to spread misinformation and guide conversations through the use of that misinformation hoping that you don't notice and even sympathise with their manipulation machine.

This was my first thought too. It's a peek behind the curtain to how "sophisticated" disinformation bots have actually become, and it's super interesting that there's backlash to it as most FB users love AI slop.

Maybe Meta's actually taking it down because they don't want people to start realizing how much of the social media they interact with is actually AI/LLM/chatbots.

Right, and what's even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they're bots posing as people.

That's arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.

But they'll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.

To see if the backlash is really that bad, to see if there are specific issues people object to, to see if there are certain demographics more strongly opposed, to desensitise people for when they try it next time ("ugh, again?" instead of the full outrage), to give people the illusion of control (look, online complaints work!)...

There are a lot of possible reasons, but I doubt it's an entirely ignorant decision coming from a company known to be good at manipulating it's users.

Also a good point. Personally, I'm not willing to extend the charity of Hanlon's Razor to corporations well known to be malicious. In this event, I'd rather be wrong than off-guard, if that makes sense?

The meta verse and apples AR flop cost them a lot of money as a result.

I think this is more of a case where the mandate to always increase profits compelled them to take calculated financial risks and hope to be the vanguard of a new boom. Well, maybe the calculations were more estimates, but I assumed they figured out they could afford the loss if it flopped, but would make major gains by securing a foothold in a new digital space if it succeeded.

Consider how occasionally niche technologies once mocked later turn out to be hits. I remember once reading somewhere that QR codes were a fad, had died out and were basically useless, for instance, and I bought it because I myself saw decreasing use of them. At the time, I think QR code scanners weren't built into smartphone camera apps, and smartphones weren't as ubiquitous either, so unless you downloaded dedicated (and in retrospect sketchy) apps for it, they remained useless.

Now, I see QR codes everywhere. My company has them on meeting rooms to check their occupation and book them right from your phone without needing to remember or manually enter the room number. Our printers have QR codes for email templates to report errors to IT that include technical details for the printer. Restaurants have QR codes for digital ordering, invoices for automatically scanning the payment details from your banking app, the list goes on.

Obviously, the financial scale is far different, but that's the example that came to mind just now seeing a QR code in my train for digital schedules including current delay. I'm sure there are better examples I could think of, but it's eight in the morning and my long-term memory won't come online for another hour or so.

My point is that it's sometimes hard or impossible to predict whether something will succeed, but the nature of corporate economics in the tech sphere compells taking risks on new innovations because the potential payoff is immense. And if they can afford to take it - they're not exactly short on money and not particularly worried about their users running away over it - I don't know if they can afford not to. Who knows what new tech people might surprisingly latch on to?

I do think you're right, but I don't think it's the only reason for doing things we think are stupid. The tech sphere in particular has a lot of survivorship bias, but while small companies might disintegrate over a failure, a giant corporation can take the hit and keep trying for the next gold rush.

while it is no doubt the case that most big tech companies are engaged in perpetual wars of attrition against their users, i can’t help but feel that this AI posters thing is different from the examples you provided. at least in those examples, the users have something to gain from sacrificing their privacy. and the company also stands to gain something as well. (although typically the company stands to gain way more from these exchanges.) but in this case, i’m not really sure how anyone benefits. nobody seems to want to be tricked into talking to an AI, and i don’t see how that would make the company more money. maybe they think it would drive up “engagement” somehow? but that seems like a hard thing to accurately predict. it seems more likely that zuckerberg is convinced that AI is automatically good in any tech company, and this is the most obvious way to shove AI into social media websites. so therefore it must be a good idea somehow.

Pretty sure the feds did that by charging him with terrorism.

Legal eagle did a video about it. If they only charged him with murder, all they would talk about in the court room would be the cctv footage and weapon. Because they charged him with terrorism, they have to prove he had a specific political motive, which means the court case will drag on for months discussing his motive. The public will have plenty of opportunities to discuss Brian Thompson during the trial, as long as the media is still interested in publishing it.

(Also, by charging Mangione with terrorism, the prosecution is running a big risk of not meeting the standard for terrorism or politicizing the jury so much that they nullify)

Luigi Mangione represents an idea that is uncomfortable to certain people in power. It's okay to attribute millions of deaths to Hitler when he gives the order to kill and condones the decisions his subordinates make to carry out that order. But they don't want to let the poors normalize the idea that a healthcare CEO should be considered similarly responsible for many intentional deaths when he gives the order to deny as many claims as possible especially when they are clearly valid and urgently needed. Brian Thompson is responsible for many deaths. It's not fair to say he isn't just because he didn't kill directly with a gun.

I'm inclined to agree, they don't want people starting to consider social murder as a crime worth seeking justice for, because the entire government is complicit in a vast network of social murder.

At the end of the day, I think the problem is that so many people don't identify Thompson as a killer. I think if more people saw Thompson as a killer, sympathy would be less controversial.

I don't condone vigilante murder, but this is a case where I think the calculus that Mangione did to conclude the benefits of his action outweigh the consequences was probably correct and that there wasn't a more reasonable way to address his grievance. And if you do something wrong and it turns out for the best, you still did something wrong, so get outta here ya little rascal and don't let me catch you again.

How so?

There are only so many ways to increase profits in a medical insurance company:

increase premiums - limited by law and competition
expand customer base - customer acquisition is expensive
reduce operating expenses - policy payouts are probably the most expensive operating cost

Any CEO sees the same options, so killing one won't really solve anything. You get to send a very public message, yes, how likely is that to change something? Not very, especially with the incoming administration.

So to me, killing a CEO is very likely to result in either imprisonment and/or death and unlikely to directly cause change. It'll spark some discussion on the news, but is that really worth throwing your life away?

Maybe it was the best way he saw to bring immediate attention to his cause, but I don't think it's the best way to actually fix anything. He's a CS student, surely he could learn some hacking skills and access some internal communications that exposes illegal activity, no? That takes longer, but is probably more effective at actually sparking change than murder.

It would be swept under the rug, maybe get prosecuted and fined for q token amount.

There are three ways just off the top of my head that this improves the situation.

It puts fear into the people murdering the masses through policy, other CEOs might think twice now.

It makes people think and talk about this, and put the topic of healthcare CEOs being murderers into the public discourse.

It showcases that public support, actually bipartisan public support exists for positive change, it's just not on the ballot. Some smart politician might figure out how to ride that wave into office.

None of this is surprising, and AFAICT, nothing has changed. And I don't expect anything to change. He'd do far more good working for an insurance company and whistleblowing, hacking in from outside and exposing them, or any other number of things.

Are those benefits you mentioned worth throwing your life away for? I personally don't think so, at least not while alternatives exist.

Here are some stats from the Miami herald (media bias says center-left w/ high factual reporting):

In a Center for Strategic Politics poll, 61% of respondents said they have a strong or somewhat negative perception of Mangione, while just 18% said they have a strong or somewhat positive perception.

This was on Dec. 13, just days after the murder.

It certainly sent a message, but that message was different for different audiences.

Problem is it wasn't illegal. So the law is no use here. So exposing the activities they are engaged in right in public is no use. It's like whistleblowing on Trump colliding with Russia. He did it right in front of everybody and got away with it.

Also, ultimately profits don't have to always increase. In fact, it's an impossibility over the long term without diversifying, and even then growth will slow. There's not a damn thing wrong with a business that consistently, reliably turns 1B into 1.1B (or whatever).

killing a CEO is very likely to result in either imprisonment and/or death and unlikely to directly cause change. It'll spark some discussion on the news, but is that really worth throwing your life away?

Maybe? I mean a life lived in misery isn't worth much. At the end of the day, only he can answer whether it was worth the cost, but the rest of us have the opportunity to build on the message he sent. Will we capitalize (lol) on that opportunity? Probably not, but Mangione was undoubtedly a spark. Eventually a spark will catch, but of course it's never certain who will get burned.

It would piss people off without pushing them to defend someone you murdered. In other words, the message is clearer.

We don't have receipts, so it doesn't hit as hard. Catching someone red handed doing what everyone already assumes they're doing is a much better call to action than just saying what we're all thinking.

Afaict, the problem here isn't capitalism, but protectionism.

Laws limit how insurance companies can make money, so they use the tools they have access to. Likewise, we've prioritized employer sponsored insurance over customer selected insurance (government insurance is a separate beast), so insurance companies only need to impress HR, not end customers, and HR likes bullet points and lower costs, and don't care about fine print. It's the same reason why my employer sponsored 401k is more expensive than my IRA, despite offering fewer features. Employers don't have your interests in mind, they want to provide the cheapest benefits they can that attract the talent they need. Almost everyone would be better off if they shopped on their own, but that's not financially prudent because you'd have to forego tax benefits and employer contributions.

When you manipulate the market like this, this is what we get. Insurance is already pretty anti-consumer, and we've eliminated most of the little accountability insurance companies have to end customers. That's not how capitalism should work, and the solution is to either let capitalism work (remove insurance decisions from employers, let customers change, just like auto or home insurance), or to decide that insurance should be publicly funded. The current system is the worst of both worlds (government meddling and capitalist profit maximization).

Neither is solved by killing one of the players, that just makes the player a victim.

It was step one, not intended to be the entire end-goal. The goal is to make it obvious that profits aren't the way healthcare should be done, as it is directly at odds with the purpose. Almost every other country in the world has removed profit from healthcare, or never added it in the first place. Even if you want to keep the rest of capitalism, it doesn't go here.

He definitely got the conversation started. He got alot of people to say out loud that "they kind of agree with him". And that is how change happens, when alot of people realise they were already thinking the same thing but didn't want to be the first one to say it. He opened the flood gates.

That may be, but my point is that the current state of healthcare costs in the US isn't "capitalism working as intended," it's a culmination of decades of interference resulting in a perfect storm of bad policy. For example:

patents keep prices high
tax deductions for employer sponsored insurance led to crappy employer insurance being standard
ACA covered up many of the problems for those without insurance, which increased problems for those with employer insurance
everyone having insurance increases admin costs for providers
since insurance companies all want a deal, providers need to obfuscate real prices (cash discount, network discount, etc)
care providers have to worry about lawsuits for just doing their job, so they're more conservative with care options

And so on. A few simple changes would dramatically improve things IMO:

require employers to offer the cash value for any declined benefits
offer tax savings for all medical care, regardless of how it's paid for (premiums outside payroll, costs of direct care, etc)
disallow discounts for care, you pay the same whether you use insurance or not
require insurance to have simple terms, understandable by the average 8th grader - no networks, no max costs, only deductible, max out of pocket, number of free preventative visits, copay, etc; insurance should compete on service, not covered procedures
reduce patent duration so generics can come out sooner

That won't fix all of our problems, but it should solve a lot of them. Medicare should exist for the uninsurable and the poor, the rest can get private insurance.

We should also discuss public healthcare as an option as well, but the above should fix a lot of the problems we have.

The only difference between a vigilante and a murderer is state of mind. Luigi got it right. No dead bystanders. No redeeming qualities of his target, who is probably responsible for a far greater number of deaths. He put work into planning this and it shows, but he got really lucky, too.

If we had a bunch running around, we'd all be less safe. And a hell of a lot of them would probably target villains we don't all agree deserve it. So I don't condone it. But in this one case, I think it worked out.

Here’s an interesting thought. The CEO is not the only one responsible at this company. His board and also his staff are responsible. We can’t say that they are just following his orders because it’s not Hitler’s military where disobeying an order could get you jailed or killed. This is at-will private employment we’re talking about and they’re all making their own decisions to participate.

So: how far down the ranks would Luigi need to kill in order to address the whole problem? CEOs are an appealing symbol of everything but we really should think past just them. For example, yes their salaries are ridiculous but all together they are also just a drop in the bucket. Bringing CEO pay into line would not fix America by a longshot.

It will continue to be a problem for moderators because of the way they moderate and the terms they outline to moderate by. They leave gray areas for things that are against the law but that they feel are perfectly ok, but not for other things that are against the law that they feel aren't. They don't provide clarity about the law in their locality, and they don't always stick to their moderation in a way that would make it the same for all users and that's the problem. Additionally they don't want to be blamed for anything or take backlash for anything so they overlimit some things and under limit others and pretend their hands are tied about both.

It's going to continue to be a problem for moderators, because people genuinely want the death of billionaires and CEOs. Every for-profit platform is going to ban calling for the deaths of CEOs, because the owners of the company don't want that kind of speech around.

This is why decentralized pseudo-platforms like the Fediverse are so important, so people can make their actual thoughts, feelings and desires known, and speak to each other about it. When Luigi capped Thompson, we all got this amazing moment where our pain hurt and rage were validated through knowing we weren't alone in our desire to kill the ruling class. That's genuinely dangerous to people like Thompson.

It's now, in our time, when censorship is being treated not just like something normal, but like something that has always been there.

And also you can't build a civilization by the rules that it makes. You'll have less and less entropy on each stage, and you will come to a rules' deadlock, and if you don't resolve that deadlock violently, then your civilization dies. And preferably deadlocks will be resolved violently before they threaten the whole of your civilization.

If we want to thrive, we must be allowed to err on the wrong side (whatever side that is).

But I guess we'll be harder to manipulate if we are allowed to discuss.

That's genuinely dangerous to people like Thompson.

He is just an officer in the cartel, he is not the owner class.

People who are lashing out against public opinion are the real owners. They know that if public starts naming them, it will get uncomfortable.

They need a docile and divided population so they can keep looting.

No country has this much corporate grift, it is a beautiful set up.

no one person owns UHG, it's owned by financial Mafias like Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, JP Morgan, Fidelity.

Take a look at any company that deals in; healthcare, defense, real estate, shipping, communications, entertainment, literally anything to do with Nestlé, ect.. and you will see a dark depressing pattern.

The US doesn't exist within a vacuum for oligarchy. The whole world has been enslaved already. When you see or hear about "the investors" they're talking about the ones above.

that's why I laugh at anyone who thinks simply not buying from "xyz" source has any impact. they still get your money, just from a different route.

YouTube's content moderation policies forbid "content praising or justifying violent acts carried out by violent extremist, criminal, or terrorist organizations."

well so since Luigi Mangione isn't an organization, sounds like that isn't covered by these "content moderation policies"? Right?

La vignetta non pubblicata su Jeff Bezos che ha fatto dimettere una vignettista del Washington Post

@azzate

Da Il Post

Una delle vignettiste del Washington Post, Ann Telnaes, si è dimessa perché il giornale non ha pubblicato una sua vignetta su Jeff Bezos, uno degli uomini più ricchi del mondo e proprietario di Amazon e del Washington Post stesso. Telnaes, che è una vincitrice del premio Pulitzer, ha pubblicato sulla sua newsletter personale una bozza della vignetta: mostra vari personaggi di spicco delle aziende tecnologiche e dei media statunitensi che si inginocchiano davanti a Donald Trump. Il riferimento è ai buoni rapporti che molti di loro hanno cercato di stabilire con Trump subito dopo la sua elezione, dopo un lungo periodo in cui hanno avuto relazioni ambigue se non apertamente conflittuali. Telnaes ha scritto: «Non mi era mai stata rifiutata una vignetta per la persona o l’argomento che avevo deciso di trattare. Fino a oggi».

Cosa aspettarsi da OsmAnd per il 2025

@openstreetmap_it

OsmAnd dà il benvenuto al 2025 e prevede di introdurre funzionalità innovative come widget di navigazione personalizzabili, uno strumento per la legenda della mappa e dettagli di percorso ampliati per migliorare l'esperienza utente.

È prevista poi l'integrazione con gli smartwatch che consentirà agli utenti di accedere alla navigazione direttamente dal polso. L'azienda mira ad aggiungere funzionalità come l'esplorazione dei luoghi più popolari, rappresentazioni dettagliate in 3D degli edifici e opzioni di condivisione migliorate per i file GPX e i luoghi preferiti.

Tor Project si è concentrato nel 2024 sul miglioramento delle prestazioni, della sicurezza, della salute della rete, dell'elusione della censura e dell'integrazione con terze parti;
i miglioramenti dei servizi Onion hanno incluso il lancio di OnionSpray, un toolkit per convertire i siti web esistenti in domini .onion, facilitando l'integrazione con la rete Tor;
l'introduzione del supporto a Vanguards in Arti aiuta a proteggersi dagli attacchi, migliorando l'anonimato e la sicurezza degli utenti;
wono stati implementati scanner di larghezza di banda per ottimizzare la distribuzione del carico nella rete Tor, aumentando la velocità e l'affidabilità della navigazione;
WebTunnel è stato lanciato per mascherare il traffico Tor come normale traffico web, migliorando l'accesso nelle regioni fortemente censurate;
l'estensione Snowflake è stata aggiornata per conformarsi agli standard di Manifest V3 di Google Chrome, garantendo la continua usabilità per gli utenti;
Il passaggio a Rdsys per la distribuzione dei bridge consente un adattamento più efficace alle tattiche di censura e un miglioramento della portata degli utenti;

Aggiornamento GrapheneOS: introdotto un PIN come secondo fattore di sicurezza per lo sblocco con impronta digitale

@lealternative

Con l'aggiornamento 2024123000 vengono introdotte diverse novità, alcune esclusive di GrapheneOS.

Tra queste c'è il supporto per l'aggiunta di un PIN come secondo fattore di sicurezza per lo sblocco con impronta digitale. Per abilitare questa nuova configurazione è possibile inserire una password come metodo principale di sblocco, mentre impronta digitale + PIN (4-6 cifre) come metodo secondario per un utilizzo regolare (il secondo sblocco è utilizzabile solo per 48 ore dopo un sblocco primario riuscito).

25 anni di In Your Eyes Ezine

Un quarto di secolo fa nasceva "In Your Eyes Ezine" grazie ad una passione che non immaginavo potesse rimanere viva per così tanto tempo e portarmi così lontano. Oggi, dopo 25 anni di presenza sul web, guardo indietro con un senso di gratitudine e meraviglia. Mai avrei pensato che questo progetto sarebbe diventato ciò che è oggi, ma il cammino è stato incredibile.

@iyezine_com per il 25°, oltre a farvi gli auguri, vi consiglio questa modifica per rendere i vostri post leggibili anche da mastodon:

Formattazione post con titolo leggibili da Mastodon

Come saprete, con Friendica possiamo scegliere di scrivere post con il titolo (come su WordPress) e post senza titolo (come su Mastodon). Uno dei problemi più fastidiosi per chi desidera scrivere post con il titolo è il fatto che gli utenti Mastodon leggeranno il vostro post come se fosse costituito dal solo titolo e, due a capi più in basso, dal link al post originale: questo non è di certo il modo miglior per rendere leggibili e interessanti i vostri post!
Con le ultime release di Friendica abbiamo però la possibilità di modificar un'impostazione per rendere perfettamente leggibili anche i post con il titolo. Ecco come fare:

A) dal proprio account bisogna andare alla pagina delle impostazioni e, da lì, alla voce "Social Network" al link poliverso.org/settings/connect…
B) Selezionando la prima sezione "Impostazione media sociali" e scorrendo in basso si può trovare la voce "Article Mode", con un menu a cascata
C) Delle tre voci disponibili bisogna scegliere "Embed the title in the body"

Ecco, ora i nostri post saranno completamente leggibili da Mastodon!

Se siete orfani di Mull ora potete provare a seguire il browser IronFox

@lealternative

Per chi è ancora in lutto dopo l'addio di DivestOS e di Mull segnalo che è nato il primo (?) fork di Mull ed è da poco uscita la prima release in APK scaricabile da GitLab.

Uno degli autori sembra essere Akash Yadav molto attivo su GitHub con diversi progetti.

Ovviamente essendo la prima release non lo consiglio se non per curiosità e per seguire l'eventuale futuro del progetto.

Il boom delle guide: siamo diventati tutti incapaci o siamo solo pigri?

@videogiochi

Un bell'articolo di Stefania Sperandio sull'uso delle guide per videogiochi. Io sono uno di quelli che odia tantissimo guardare le soluzioni anche se farlo o meno dipende dal tipo di videogioco. Per alcuni, come le avventure punta e clicca, l'esperienza mi interessa di più e cerco di farne totalmente a meno. Per altri, come per esempio Super Mario Wonder o Zelda mi interessa un po' meno e se ho bisogno di soluzioni dopo qualche ora le guardo senza troppi scrupoli.

Le guide e le soluzioni per i videogiochi sono sempre esistite. Partiamo da questa premessa. Quando ero bambina, ad esempio, amavo collezionare le guide strategiche ufficiali dei miei franchise preferiti, ma ricordo che anche le riviste cartacee che seguivo avevano spesso inserti con strategie e soluzioni per i giochi più popolari.
Con la diffusione capillare del web, e l'approccio immediato che oggi offre internet, le guide cartacee sono diventate roba per "collezionisti", mentre siti come il nostro hanno sempre ottimi riscontri quando propongono soluzioni per battere quel boss, trovare la migliore arma o capire come aprire la porta chiusa in questo o quel gioco.
Non solo: oggi ci sono le video-guide, che permettono praticamente di copiare passo passo quanto fatto da un altro giocatore, magari per superare un punto dove si era rimasti bloccati senza doverci ragionare troppo su.
Posto che anche chi vi scrive usa le guide, e che non esiste un modo giusto o uno sbagliato di videogiocare (niente patentini da verigiocatori™, per favore), quello che mi sono domandata è: perché lo facciamo? Perché, mentre siamo coinvolti in un gioco, ci "buttiamo fuori" dall'esperienza per cercare una guida che ci permetta di bypassare una difficoltà a cervello spento?
È questione di frustrazione e quindi di cattivo design? È questione del poco tempo a disposizione per giocare e che, quindi, non si vuole buttarlo a rimanere piantati davanti a una chiave che proprio non riusciamo a scovare? O è una questione di pigrizia per cui detestiamo quando il gioco ci chiede di trovare un modo di superare una difficoltà che sia diverso dallo sfoderare la forza contro un boss?
Forse, sono un po' tutte queste cose insieme...

Continua su SpazioGames

Il boom delle guide: siamo diventati tutti incapaci o siamo solo pigri?

Ora si può accedere a delle guide addirittura mentre si gioca, ma la domanda è: perché le usiamo e cosa tolgono al coinvolgimento?

Kagi Search introduce la sostituzione delle anteprime clickbait per i video e annuncia l'utilizzo del protocollo Privacy Pass

@lealternative

Il motore di ricerca a pagamento @kagihq ha introdotto alcune novità per quel che riguarda la ricerca video. È ora possibile personalizzare la ricerca, come per qualsiasi sito web, ed è anche possibile ottenere la rimozione automatica delle anteprime clickbait sostituite con semplici screenshot del video.

In un video è stato anche presentata l'adozione al protocollo Privacy Pass che permetterà, tramite estensione, di effettuare ricerche anonime e non collegabili al proprio account.

Ne ho fatto una recensione su Le Alternative dove è presente anche un link, valido fino al 31 dicembre, per poterlo provare gratuitamente per tre mesi (e no, non è un link di affiliazione ma solo sana curiosità): lealternative.net/2024/12/17/k…
