Can we just go ahead and wrap up all the spicy hot takes about the Vision Pro?
- Expensive
- Funny looking
- Nerdy
- Not enough apps
- Walled garden
- Socially awkward
Did I miss anything or can you all just find better things to do than ride that bandwagon now? You donโt have to like it, but youโre just not adding anything to the discussion unless you have something uniquely critical to say. #visionpro
A new low, even for #Google. Giving Google permission to share information about you with third-party websites is being falsely advertised as an "ad privacy feature". This is privacy washing at its most extreme. But it gets even worse.
There is a dark pattern on the second screenshot. It isn't just informing you about the fake privacy features. Clicking on "Got it" actually turns on these features that allow Google to use your recent browsing history for ads on third-party websites:
Many Redditors are switching to Lemmy, an open-source, decentralized alternative.

I don't see nearly enough people talking about the staggering cost to the US and allies as a result of The Former Guy's theft.
Politics is one thing, but in the Intelligence and Counterintelligence communities, there are protocols. And one protocol you can take to the bank: When a man who is known to have back channel connections to literally every one of our enemies steals a trove of classified documents, you treat every single one of them as if they are now owned by our enemies.
Let the gravity of that sink in. Every single agent mentioned is now compromised. Every agent alluded to is compromised. Every combat plan is now available for all our enemies to develop countermeasures for. Every secret plan to develop intelligence on our enemies is now a dead end.
There were nuclear secrets in there.
How do you begin to calculate the impact and cost of the enemy knowing our nuclear secrets, including potentially our plans if Putin were to launch a limited nuclear strike?
We will never know the cost of it, because it's all SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET TO PROTECT US FROM OUR ENEMIES. But however much you think it cost, it was probably more.
The Defense Department and Intelligence Community don't have the luxury of hoping he didn't make the sales we all know he made.
They have to assume he sold all of it. Whether it's ever proven or not.
This is one of the worst crimes ever committed by a US citizen against the US.
