MrBeast collaborator Ava Kris Tyson leaves YouTube channel after online users accuse her of grooming
  • I don't know if they can, the opportunity cost is pretty high with these massive channels. Two weeks of grinding might be worth it for them, meanwhile MrBeast himself keeps on repeating this ridiculous notion he's "revealing the true potential" of said creators. Meanwhile he's just exploiting their knowledge and work ethic to grow his own brand.

  • MrBeast collaborator Ava Kris Tyson leaves YouTube channel after online users accuse her of grooming
  • Yeah the dude always comes off entitled as hell. A few creators I follow have collabed with him and it's always the same story: "He called me and asked for a two month project in two weeks, ofcourse I said yes he's MrBeast."

    In a similar vein I've read about people bending backwards for Disney or Pixar, and them abusing their reputation to undercut the market.

  • Doom Fans Go Too Far, Port The Shooter To A Sex Toy [extra hardware plugged inside]
  • If you replace all the internals it's not the same, I get your point. But not every Doom-run is like that. These days they run some kind of busybox on any smart device, so technically any smart device could run doom. But the way they do it is still incredibly interesting.

  • Doom Fans Go Too Far, Port The Shooter To A Sex Toy [extra hardware plugged inside]
  • That's some serious gatekeeping lmao, I thought we were past that. Having a high level layer makes it easier to run custom code yes, but gaining access to that layer is the definition of hardware hacking. Not breaking the original functionality (or in this case expanding on it) is still impressive and encapsulates the original spirit of 'you can run Doom on anything' perfectly.

  • ‘Cold hard statistics’ [OC]
  • There's a person out there with the best luck in the world, but if they realise it's them, it might fuck with their luck-streak.

    Never tell someone their odds, you might be talking to the luckiest person alive.

  • France's 'Excalibur' sword vanishes from the stone after 1,300 years
  • That's why I called you tone-deaf, not even the article "mixed up" their magical swords. It's saying "France's 'Excalibur'" referring to a sword-in-stone myth located in France, using its proper name a few lines in.

    Using metaphors like that in titles is just a way to capture the readers attention. It's the fastest and most succinct way to discribe the news and have everyone understand the point of the article. It's not wrong, it's a metaphor.

    get annoyed when people mix up their magical swords

    I get annoyed by people reading only the headline and feeling like they have something useful to contribute.

  • The enshittification of music, by Rick Beato
  • With the entire world having access to internet by now, isn't it only logical there's a massive increase in quantity of music being available? One figurative spotlight for a factor of thousands more possible successful artists. But at the same time the internet provides significantly more ways to discover and get people togheter.

    "Harder" for the average artist is not how I would describe it, I think being a successful artist requires a different skillset then it used to. You have to be more tech/web literate or know someone who is to start. But it's still a grind, just like it used to be.

    The internet does provide a way to instant fame. I've seen Youtube sets of people DJ'ing in their bedroom get noticed and overnight they are playing for hundreds of people. Yet again for the average artist it's a grind for years.

    For context, I do collect vinyl so spend way to much on records, obviously not the average music listener. Sidenote: genres could be fluctuating in popularity, making it easier for some and harder for others.

  • The enshittification of music, by Rick Beato
  • I disagree with the sentiment that the music scene is getting worse, we are getting more content than ever but it's also much more discoverable, searchable and groupable.

    I was just at an insane EDM festival the other day and all artists there were up and coming 25-30 y/o, people who are touring Europe doing gigs all over the place. They were selected because they are amazing DJ's with their own style, playlist and original songs.

    Finding music, an artist or even an album you enjoy is just as hard as it used to be, but go into a local record shop, a local venue and ask them what bands you should check out, you'll see the same spirit people had 20-30 years ago going to gigs.

    You know what I think Mr Beato? I think you are heavily out of touch with the modern music scene.

    Abstract

    Spyware makes surveillance simple. The last ten years have seen a global market emerge for ready-made software that lets governments surveil their citizens and foreign adversaries alike and to do so more easily than when such work required tradecraft. The last ten years have also been marked by stark failures to control spyware and its precursors and components. This Article accounts for and critiques these failures, providing a socio-technical history since 2014, particularly focusing on the conversation about trade in zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits. Second, this Article applies lessons from these failures to guide regulatory efforts going forward. While recognizing that controlling this trade is difficult, I argue countries should focus on building and strengthening multilateral coalitions of the willing, rather than on strong-arming existing multilateral institutions into working on the problem. Individually, countries should focus on export controls and other sanctions that target specific bad actors, rather than focusing on restricting particular technologies. Last, I continue to call for transparency as a key part of oversight of domestic governments' use of spyware and related components.
