It was fun for what it was, an overly serious and overly detailed “grimdark” setting based on an old TV show meant to sell toys, with a generous heaping of campiness on top. It’s entertaining garbage, and it mostly “knows its place” as such, besides one single attempt at a serious scene when the king of eternia dies.

It has a scene set to “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes, explicitly referencing the “magical secret powers” meme video of old. It has a short sequence with gym bro Skeletor and HR lady Skeletor. It’s a fun campy action comedy with surprisingly high budget and good effects.

I mean, we can think both are inaccurate and that it also doesn’t really matter, right?

Think of it this way: Should it have propagated as content at all?

I mean, people do be making faces like that, and have long before wojak. Only natural that they’ll be recreated in drawings.

As far as I know, blocks on Lemmy are one sided. As on, you don’t see stuff from who you blocked, but they can still see your stuff. I’ve definitely gotten comment replies from people I blocked ages ago, I just see it as blocked as long as I’m logged in.

As far as security goes, you’d only be as exposed as any Minecraft server is. That is to say, not much.

Plenty of non-MAGAts with respiratory issues having medical trouble from this.

Ugh, when the food places near my work started recognizing me. Yuck.

What? It’s not even his car, it was a review vehicle provided to him as a car reviewer (his job).

Lol no. Very no. Getting gut shot is a wonderful way to die slowly and in agony.

Of course it did. All of these AI companies scraped absolutely everything they could to make the biggest training corpuses they could. Quality, morality, legality be damned. The potential fines will never meaningfully dent the profits.

Maybe 1PB more of pirated content will finally get us to AGI ;p

Back to my home I dare not go.

A new Evangelion series was just announced directed by Yoko Taro. Can’t wait to see what additional batshit trauma he lumps on the characters this go around.

What’s that logo? Safe bet that it’s an entirely intentional attempt to go viral by getting people sharing it like you are, going “oh my god that looks like goatse”.

They can safely let it spread brand awareness and salience through posts like this, then never actually roll it out, or make some sort of “apology”, but the goal is already accomplished.

That’s one hell of a story, especially with the little I saw scrolling your profile. Anyway, just wanted to say that a bunch of folks have reverse engineered Lego Island into an open source codebase that they can get running on just about anything now.

You can play it in your web browser even, but it’s a little tough to control on a phone.

This guy has a super deep voice and has voice acted a lot of these “brother, no” memes quite well, including this one

So it’s a unique id “stamped” to your Windows install during setup when you sign into a Microsoft account during the OOB setup experience. It gets stored in the machine’s registry, and is used for uniquely identifying your hardware and tying it to a Microsoft account for licensing purposes.

It does not persist between reinstalls, and it is in a known registry location so therefore viewable and editable now that we know it’s there. We don’t yet know the exact effects of editing it, or how exactly they correlated it in this case with the person’s network activity.

I expect we’ll have some mitigation plan in the next few months. Obviously starting with the recommendations in the article.

Completely pulling this from my ass:

• There should be some ways for researchers to watch what accesses that registry key and when.
• Hypothetically, one could just randomize their GDID.
  • Could target specific known ones to flood the data collected (everyone uses all zeros)
  • Forge evidence against specific targets (collect the GDID off a target’s machine, then set a VM to that and go nuts)
  • or just randomly generate 1000 then activate Windows on all of them using MASgrave and rotate through them. Would probably need to randomly space out the activations, use generic hardware, and randomly shuffle the ones you used. Would also help to have multiple in use at once generating fake cover data to hide the real stuff in.

At this point it’s probably easier to just go off grid than to try and make Windows “private”.

More so that they used the same Windows machine where they were signed in with their real personal Microsoft account as the machine they used for their illicit actions.

VPN only masks your source IP, not any of the other identifiers, of which we now know a new one.

Fucking tease.
