Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text
  • Yep, had basically a throw away account for the occasional thing that basically required a Facebook account, and then I guess because I never posted anything they locked my account and demanded ID. Hell no.

  • Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots
  • At least, not this case. AI music is its own can of worms that hasn't been decided on in court or law yet.

    But the main issue in this case is that he was scamming listens from the music services. So if he'd just let people naturally discover the AI songs somehow, and he earned money just like other Music publishers, then he would've been fine.

  • Texas judge who bought Tesla stock won’t recuse himself from X v. Media Matters
  • There needs to be a ban on any judge presiding over something within at least one or two degrees of separation of relationships with said judge. Any direct relationships, either direct relatives or friends or direct investment, and possibly second degree relationships like a relative or friend being invested, or a relative/friend of a relative/friend.

    Fediverse Redirect - Have ANY Lemmy link open in Sync

    GitHub - zacharee/MastodonRedirect: Deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy on Android, allowing you to launch your selected client automatically.

    The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you'll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance's site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there's way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.

    They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.

    Steam :: SteamVR :: SteamVR Beta Updated - 2.0.1

    There were hints yesterday, but today it's official. Valve has started over hauling SteamVR, using the SteamDeck and Big Picture improvements as a basis. More to come.

    This makes the likelihood of a new VR headset, possibly even stand-alone, more likely than ever.

    Press Release:

    > Greetings! Today we are shipping SteamVR 2.0 in beta. We see this is as the first major step toward our goal of bringing all of what’s new on the Steam platform into VR.

    > Users who opt into this beta will notice a new UI with lots of added features:

    > · Most of the current features of Steam and Steam Deck are now part of SteamVR

    > · Updated keyboard with support for new languages, emojis, and themes

    > · Integration of Steam Chat and Voice Chat

    > · Improved Store that puts new and popular VR releases front and center

    > This is just the beginning of SteamVR 2.0’s journey, and we’ll have more to share in the coming weeks and months as we collect feedback and work on the features mentioned above. This beta will give us a chance to iron out the kinks as more and more people try it out. As with all betas, this means SteamVR 2.0 will get better and better as we prepare it for its eventual full public launch.

    > To try out the new UI, opt in to both SteamVR Beta and the Steam Client Beta.

    > Instructions for Steam Client Beta:

    Remember when they'd send you these for free?

    I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

    Desktop Mode Keeps Opening Wine Mono Installer

    Every time I'm in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I'm not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can't figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just pops up again. Any ideas?
