Da amante di Zelda e Nintendo, sono abbastanza basito dall'emozione con cui è stato accolto l'ennesimo remake di Ocarina of Time.
Mi emozionerei con uno Zelda nuovo, mentre questo, semplicemente, l'ho già giocato. Operazione "rivendi l'infanzia ai millennial".
Un'industria che vive di seguiti infiniti e remake è un'industria che non sta troppo bene.
@kenobit son d'accordo su tutto ma siccome io non l'ho mai giocato non avendo mai avuto un N64 mi son detto che tutto sommato...😄
@neil I'd have thought hash matching would only address a tiny proportion of a subset of NCII?
It'd be no use for people using genAI to undress images, for example, because they'd first need to be seen and reported (though I guess it limits distribution beyond that point).
I'd have thought it's probably only likely to be of practical use for real imagery, shared without consent (i.e. so called revenge porn) - but even then only if it's been reported.
Absolutely! I share that concern.
Seit 2021 hat Polen an der Grenze zu Belarus eine Hightech-Barriere gebaut und das #Asylrecht ausgesetzt. ⛔
In einem neuen Report zeigt unser Projektpartner Border Forensics, wie die Behörden die wilde Natur hier zu einem Teil der Grenzsicherung machen – und Menschen im Niemandsland sich selbst überlassen werden.
Unsere Reportage zu den neuen Untersuchungen führt vor Augen: Wir brauchen endlich mehr sichere und legale Zugangswege in die #EU.

Manche alten Cartoons brauchen nur eine neue Sprechblase, um plötzlich wieder erschreckend aktuell zu sein.
@fernandez
Kannst du den alten Cartoon sich verlinken?
@forestine @Recalcitrant it's really interesting that chinuk persisted in Chinese-Canadian communities
I wish the filmmaker had spoken with language revival folks while doing this project, because the concept is so neat but the way the words are used isn't the way chinuk is spoken (like, the subtitles don't match the words being used)
and I would have been v happy to help, I think many of us would
contrast with for example some of Sky Hopinka's work
Potentially hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement (https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/117236701809921531), Ofcom has today announced:
> Enforcement programme into measures being taken by services to prevent users from encountering or sharing non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)
You might recall that Ofcom has previously updated its Illegal Content Code of Practice, to
> recommend that those service providers that fall within scope use hash matching technology to detect NCII, for the purpose of then making an illegal content judgement.
The new code comes into force on 30 September 2026.
It will be interesting to see which services Ofcom considers are of greatest risk here.

NEW: Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period.
The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

neko atsume 2 introduced a mechanic where some toys wear out and need to be repaired or replaced, which is mildly annoying in the "this product you used to be able to buy outright is now a subscription service" kind of way, but true to the "ok I'm back, what did you little shits break this time" aspect of cat ownership
Privacy software can get complicated quickly. There are operating systems to replace, apps to swap, networks to understand, and settings buried several menus deep.
You don’t need to use all of them. But these tools show how one privacy expert approaches everyday technology: reduce unnecessary data collection, separate sensitive activity, and make more deliberate choices about who gets access to your information 👇

I had one pair of orangey red socks with cats on them.
I pulled that pair out of the dryer and balled them up.
Several folded shirts later, I pulled another pair out of the dryer...
Then a third pair... Should I risk washing these again? I don't want to breed them if they're invasive.
@anomalocarididae Infinite sock glitch! 🧦🧦
