So... What link did you send?

At least this is opt-in, and Firefox still allows for manifest v3 extensions, and, on the whole, isn't using a engine funded by a billion dollar company that's doing everything in it's power to spy on you.

As someone who worked on a couple of video encoding / streaming services, this was an amazingly interesting read. Some personal highlights:

  • Custom encoding settings offer shows, per episode, and even per scene.
  • They created a short film specifically to cater to hard-to-encode scenes.

At the risk of committing whataboutism - the same can be said about Facebook, Google, etc. And I don't say that to marginalise the problem. Quite the contrary - I honestly feel it should be illegal to gather this level of personal detail about people.

That the focus right now is on tiktok is suspect, to say the least, but I guess the upside is that the problem is getting attention now.

Your goldfish lived for 20 years?!

Yeah, because that worked so well with tracking popups.

As The Times told BleepingComputer last week, the attackers used exposed credentials to hack into the newspaper's GitHub repos.

It explicitly says the credentials were leaked. If you're really going to insist the word "hack" implies something else, I'm afraid you're too far on the spectrum for me to continue this conversation. Cya!

For me it just gives an error post0 failed to load.

Edit: that's probably my lemmy client trying to approach this blog as though it were a lemmy instance 🤦‍♂️

Please point out where it states that Microsoft leaked it, rather than the more likely case of NYT leaking their credentials.

It's unused, you can go ahead and kill it.

So... Unless Microsoft directly leaked those credentials, I don't see how it would be their responsibility.
