I'd imagine you could kill a squirrel just clapping really hard, but you'd make a mess all over the place. Squirrels just don't seem to trigger a danger response.

Maybe, but that's neither here nor there. We can't draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.

9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the numbers are ridiculous - 100 out of 87000 is ~0.1% - I'm sad that this dev's project got kneecapped on release, but Steam is making things right here. An actual asshole move would be to have said nothing and done none of the things they're doing now to make up for the loss. The 24 hour visibility boost should have been a bit longer though. Somewhere between 3 and 7 days sounds better.

Either way I hope the dev team recoups their losses and more with the millions of eyes that their game gets now.

That is one of the funkiest ways to spell "reliable" I've ever seen. Were you trying to type in the dark?

What are you guys using to sort and name music? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Thanks, I noticed that clicking on an artists name now took you to their About page. Can't find the artist's top songs anywhere or atleast I can't find them. Rage.

Check your android devices for an app called "Android system Safetycore" (lemmy.world)
 

People are noticing that their phones are getting an app called "Android System Safetycore" auto-installed without notice or consent. Check your phone for the same, it is likely it's a slow rollout instead of every device getting it installed all at the same time.

Google has all the same old reasons that they drone on about, but the actual reason is likely to harvest your messages data for training AI models.

Uninstalling seems to remove the application, and there aren't any malicious activity reported so far as I can see, but naturally that can change anytime.

Has anyone noticed this in their applications lists? Did straight up uninstalling them work? I've had some trouble removing systems apps in the past, but uninstalling this one seems to have worked straightaway - I don't see them in the list anymore.

List Open Source Workout Trackers you use here. (lemmy.world)

Does anyone here use any Open-Source Workout Trackers? I've been using hevy, but their high fees, the fact that they are a company that holds my health data and has made no commitments to open source, User privacy, or fair trade practices like user data import/export has me looking around. I wanted to see if anyone had reliable open source alternatives.

Tell me your workout tracking stories here! Tell me what you liked and what you disliked.

Piped link to Fireship's video about C2PA (piped.video)
 

Useful because now you'll be able to tell that something is human-generated instead of AI-generated, and content creators and people with a large public presence will now be able to police their own likeness being used by randos.

Scary both because now whistleblowers or reporters could get their cover blown because the image has metadata linking them to it; or they could strip off this metadata and get the evidence dismissed entirely as fraudulent; and also because of the possibility that any regulatory government body that enforces C2PA will also determine what is real and what is not, meaning anyone on the inside will be able to generate AI content and pass it off as real to the vast majority of the population.

Can't help but think they shortened it to C2PA instead of CCPA because of the similarity in acronyms of the latter and the big bad no-privacy country.

What do you think? Non-issue, Slightly concerning, or apocalyptic?
