That seems to be an audio book on Libro. Barnes & Noble still has the physical book available online, but who knows. Anyway, the author is a former FB exec, so evil by definition, just maybe less evil than Zuckerberg. And I doubt she needs the money from the book.

My local library has 65 holds on 2 copies, lol. Maybe I’ll look for it after the clamor has died down.

There are multiple books with that title, which is a reference to The Great Gatsby (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64317):

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made …

Crosspost bots have been discussed many times and they are generally not wanted. Let reddit do its own thing. The extension sounds preferable to a bot if it’s only for use by post authors.

Yeah it didn’t occur to me that anything might be unclear. The damage was done many years ago though.

Look what they’ve done to my web, ma.

You’re saying “exploiting” user data might have been more precise than “selling”. Either way I don’t want them doing it.

Saveclick: this is about Lore Harp of Vector Graphics, a 1980s microcomputer company.

Hdds were a fad, I’m waiting for the return of tape drives. 500TB on a $20 cartridge and I can live with the 2 minute seek time.

I still say 4chan was ahead of its time. No handles, just a big mix of unknowns.

I didn’t know that word.

Media bias fact checker? Heh. Does Lemmy still have that?

Besides the privacy issue, the TOU is ridiculous. They supply a tool (the browser) and you use it. It’s not a collaboration between you and them. You can use it whatever way you want.

It says

Mozilla will collect light data on usage, such as how frequently people use the feature overall,

That says to me they want to know (among other things) how many browser users make zero use of the AI feature. To acquire that info, they have to collect it. You have to assume the worst when you see phrasing like that.

They use the term telemetry in a special way. If they are collecting info from users, that is telemetry under a different name, ok fine. Not collecting info means they receive 0 bits.

It says they’re going to collect usage data. Nothing about opting out.

So phone-home telemetry that you can’t opt out of. The ghost of Mitchell Baker will haunt us forever.

Yes but it’s a dangerous process. You should use paramatrized queries instead.

It took Intel seven years to put those earlier machines into full production, which contributed to it losing its lead to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), opens new tab. Intel struggled with the reliability of those previous EUV models in the initial stages of production.

Um no, that’s Intel trying to shift blame for its own botched 10nm process. Did that even use EUV? I kind of recall not.

Wait, if you have the old edition on your kindle, do they reach into your kindle and change what is there? Or do they just change the version in the store to the new edition, preferably with a new ISBN, if Kindles have ISBN’s?

I remember about the Roald Dahl thing and it seemed pretty clear which edition people would be getting. And some of this stuff (according to another internet poster I mean) may have been intended to keep the books in copyright longer rather than to merely mess with the content. Blyton died in 1968 so her stuff could enter the public domain in the next few decades otherwise. That’s nefarious too.

I remember for sure that Huckleberry Finn had the N word. Maybe little kids shouldn’t be reading it, I’m cool with that, though I read it as a kid myself. But grown-ups who do read it can deal with an unexpurgated version.
