Because you disagree with them, they're not credible?

There was a really good BBC documentary on this 6 years ago which takes a look in one of the facilities from both and official visit and visiting unannounced. Also using satellite footage to demonstrate changes made prior to journalist visits...

Healthy and diverse.

That bacon is positively carbon... Gone past the point of crispy (and I love crispy bacon).

Is there a reasonable source for this?

It sounds plausible, but wanted to dig deeper.

Two years after the Unity controversy, how are things going with Godot? in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 months ago

Remember, they built Cassette Beasts in Godot. If anyone has a view on how to make a solid game in Godot, it's them. Trying to push them to sell an engine they know better than either of us is weird. They walked the walk.

Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews in c/science@lemmy.world

What's to respect in an AI review where they didn't even review the output. It's an LLM lazy review. Deserves to be gamed.

It's amazing how France and Germany seem to have the same view after US has been pushing the nuclear path. Feels like some play book is being acted out.

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

Chrome not proceeding with Web Integrity API deemed by many to be DRM (9to5google.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/5707453

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Looking for Moderators (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Google’s nightmare “Web Integrity API” wants a DRM gatekeeper for the web (arstechnica.com)

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

Google is already pushing WEI(DRM Webpage) into Chromium (github.com)
 

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
