Not since Android 9. Hopefully your phone is newer than 2018.

Not exactly sure when it was added, but newer versions also give you a notification/alert when your microphone and camera are in use.

Not sure about iOS, but on Android you’re not able to just give free access any more - it’s either no access or “only while in use”

This.

If they were listening, that means they’d have to transmit that voice data, then they’d have to use models to understand that data, then do all that shit - I think there would be a ton of evidence of that (at the very least, someone would have done some verified packet sniffing).

There’s a lot easier ways to get the same job done, and there’s solutions to it

Not surprising - many scientists fled to Mastodon when he first took over. What took them so long?

“Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for ‘Megalopolis,’” the company said Wednesday. “We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

Certainly an interesting light into how trailers are made - entirely separate “film” almost.

Love that they’re making this change after CrowdStrike

A playbook on how to dismantle democracy

I mostly agree, but I think voice notes for close friends/family probably have a point.

At this point, I would also argue that texts/emails are also for time critical things since voice calls are essentially dead at this point.

99.99999% of the phone calls I get are spam. I haven’t gotten a new voice mail in like 6 months.

Must be nice to a functional telecommunications agency that has the tools to punish soammers.

Why would anyone potentially think about using X Twitter for advertising when they might sue you when you decide to cut back?

Really sucks for more technical things, and also when you’re in a situation that doesn’t allow for audio (such as those that are deaf, or when viewing articles at work).

Trying to follow a video tutorial for programming when you could have the code in a syntax highlighted code block that is copyable…

As noted in other comments, that certainly happens now even with paper tags - but it makes that wheel just a bit more greased…

It’s understandable given the effort required to update tags manually, but it would be nice to see price guarantees from stores (“price stable for 24 hours!”).

It’s not just Walmart - the entire grocery sector is doing it. The potential for abuse is certainly not low.

The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds. - NPR

Getting a spacebar stabilizer might help with the spacebar problems

Ah that makes more sense!

I imagine it’s hard to debug and hard to ensure it’s consistent across machines due to different environments?

He is seeking more than $50,000 in damages and trial by jury “on all issues so triable.”

That… seems insanely low. It’s likely not even a year’s salary.

Thus, the war on disinformation begins to look very like the war on drugs.

Ain’t that the fucking truth.

Hope the Families beta is released to stable soon - the beta has some weird volume and display issues with some games (Gungeon is a good example).
