Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.

So like what do you do if you don't have a webcam and have no intention of buying one

To access a website, you now need to open your camera and wave 👋

Yes, Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA that asks you to make hand gestures at your camera instead of clicking traffic lights.

Your browser requests camera access, records a short video of your hand movement, and sends it to Google to verify you're human.

Of course, Google says they don't retain any data. But this is also the company whose entire business model runs on knowing everything about you, so. 🤷

And don't worry, the normal reCAPTCHA methods are still there, for now...

Finally getting around to transcoding my remux collection down to AV1 and holy shit. This is fucking magic

An 87GB film down to 6.1GB with no perceptible quality loss?? A 14.5GB TV episode down to 670MB? I remember when DivX movies were bigger than that

[Maung Thuta @CypressDahlia]

I like that in this argument the idea of "economically efficient" is the idea that even your inanimate property has a job and an obligation to the economy like an employee. Like sorry I'm not worried about if my PC is contributing to a company's bottom line while I'm out lol

A google researcher is telling you you shouldn't own your compute with terrible charts misrepresenting performance

[f4mi ‼️ @f4micom]

they keep asking to vote again and again despite NO MEANING NO

if this shit passes and gets enforced the EU is done for, fr, it's that severe

and there is one person to blame for it this time: Roberta Metsola

call your MEPs, send them e-mails, last time it actually did work

[f4mi ‼️ @f4micom]

i don't care how many times the EU tries to pass chatcontrol i am not handing them any data, i will AGAIN proceed to contact MEPs now and tell them exactly what a cocksucker move would be to vote YES on the mass surveillance law, but if this shit passes i am done, i will gtfo

Never realised how noisy DHT is until I started running a Bitmagnet instance. Holy shit did that make my internet unusable until I copped on

[Ellie Winters @N104AP]

if ur a brit and your gut instinct tells you that something is wrong, even if they say it isnt, lie to them, keep going back, do whatever you need to for them to run further tests

i hope everyone follows clarksons advice

[larpy @blockspvce]

love internet history like this. also what a forgotten fun fact that might be hard to believe today:

“In 2007, 4chan was dominantly "Howard Stern liberal." Being offensive, outrageous, and highly speech-tolerant used to be identified with leftist, avant-garde identity.”

[Eauldane @Eauldane]

TBF part of it is cultural, us Brits have always been staunchly against any sort of national ID (to the point we have a Wikipedia page about it https://t.co/0wmyDP4uzb), including Digital ID which everyone is overwhelmingly against but the govt is ignoring

We absolutely could have been slow-boiled into it thanks to things like Challenge 25 and physical surveillance encroachment, but this is happening fast enough and in a coordinated enough fashion that it's tripped everyone's alarms

Reinstalled Windows so I downloaded Audacity for the first time in years
It now comes with a launcher, has 5 popups for cloud services and accounts to sign into and asks me to pay for a tutorial

I can't do this anymore man please. Not Audacity...

[moo 🦑 🍉 @miakiikazu]

being under the UK government feels like "ok guys we appreciated your attempt to use direct democracy but we actually don't care what you want"
