Looks like #sonic finally comes to the C64 #platform https://youtube.com/watch?v=jGp4a00OeRs This is a very awesome #port #effort to get the #classic #sega #game from one #console to another: https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic...
And this is why I will not #donate to #wikimedia or #wikipedia or #internetarchive - you have people like this implementing #feminism in what should have been a #neutral #platform https://blog.archive.org/2021/12/01/the-.. It's such a #shame that these otherwise awesome #services to #humanity have been #politically #corrupted ...
The new #framework #laptop seems like an amazingly cool #platform for #linux - offering a clear #upgrade path and #maintenance https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a.. Such a great project. I really hope it works out for them.
Ouch, #robinhood apparently had their #user #accounts #robbed https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/robinh.. This is supposed to affect some 5 million people! At one point I was even considering setting up some #automated #trading #platform with some kind of #library - but ran out of any kind of #money and decided against it. Strange times we live in.
#trump 's new #socialmedia #platform appears to be based on #mastodon - and #leftwing #software people are already #upset and #threatening #legal action: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/oct/.. Bare in mind, the new #website went live *accidentally* - it was only supposed to be #available to a #handful of #internal #users - not to the entire #web ! These people are mad, this is why I don't run their crap. I should at some point add a #permissive #license to #deadsocial ...
Interesting, #trump is #launching a new #socialmedia #platform https://www.lotuseaters.com/trump-to-lau..
Apparently #valorant uses the #windows 11 #tpm ( #trusted #platform #module ) as an anti- #cheat https://www.techspot.com/news/91138-valo.. This doesn't bode well for #opensource #gaming - even using #software on old #hardware ... I imagine even some #programs will begin to use this " #feature ". Damn.
When a #platform #pursues #ageverification - it usually follows a #stock plummet followed by a #decision - #doubledown or #backoff https://blog.roblox.com/2021/09/introduc.. #roblox will likely have the same very soon. Almost their entire #userbase are #young #gamers - many not above the age of 13. Then there is the issue with this massive company collecting the #personal #information of #underage kids...
@barray on Thu Aug 19 15:32:14 UTC 2021 said: &eI was just commenting on #joerogan 's #podcast the other day and how I went to #listen on #spotify and wasn't able to without creating an #account https://www.theverge.com/22632213/joe-ro.. I really suspect that other people will also be put off by this #exclusive #platform and others like me miss the #rss #feed - one of the fundamental ideas to a Podcast!I wanted to checkout a #joerogan #podcast #episode on #spotify - but I can't get that #cancer of a #website to actually work. It was a podcast on #lexfridman - the chap that does #ai podcasts himself: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0DsunsN.. It turns out that Spotify have been secretly working on killing the humble #rss #feed and forcing users to sign-up to their #service - killing everything that was ever good about a podcast in the first place.
Looks like most of #reddit is #moderated by the same #mods https://old.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/com.. This has led to people being #shadowbanned by these #moderators across the entire #platform ! Pretty insane to have so few people moderating such a large amount of the site.
Apparently #apple have been using #csam to #scan #icloud for the last two years: https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/23/apple-sca.. Fun! According to Apple's #antifraud #chief , they are "the greatest #platform for #distributing #childporn " - ouch. Assuming they have been using the #csam algorithm this whole time, we must ask whether it has *already* been abused by #hostile #states in order to detect #journalists or people of interest.
I have a really cool #idea - a #debate #platform #inspired by #longbets but for #topics that can not be easily #measured on current issues: https://longbets.org/ The idea is that both sides would agree to a set of rules and then would be allow to respond to one another over time. I might do a blog post about this...
Awesome to see a large #eink #display in the works over at #pine ! https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?.. Hopefully this means a e-ink device in the near future based on the new #quartz #platform !
Whilst I agree with #st that #ar #glasses are for sure a future #computing #platform - it might still be too early: https://www.eetimes.eu/st-sees-ar-glasse.. #vr for example got #reinvented *several times* before #technology caught up. What I want to see is ST put an #opensource platform in the hands of #hackers - see what #innovation is created and then #commercialize it.
