@stuart@sozial.cyberpunk.gmbh I guess they assume that the "genius" part will develop on it's own as long as they're evil enough.

@alexkaessner@mas.to My guess would be: They use linked assets for the screenshots in Photoshop or Illustrator to produce all language versions automatically … and this time, only the low-res proxy was available because [the server was down|the file wasn't downloaded from the cloud storage|someone moved the files around]?

@Daojoan@mastodon.social Come on. Does no one think of the career paths of management consultants?

@henry@dindon.one Certainly easier and cheaper for Meta to offload the burden of age verification to other companies, so they will profit either way.

I have a hunch. Ask her to click on the Dropbox symbol in the menu bar.
And indeed, there are the screenshots.
Because #Dropbox decided that they want to siphon off all their users' screenshots for data extraction reasons, they change fundamental aspects of how an operating system works, and confuse users (because stuff suddenly works differently than before) – and the people that support these users (because now I have to be aware of all the ways software like Dropbox can fuck up a system).
Mom calls me and needs #techsupport.
She wants to take a screenshot.
«Usually, these go into the photo library, no?»
Yes, on her iPhone. Not on her Mac. (🤦♂️) I explain that she should find them on her desktop. She looks for it, finds nothing.
I ask her to share her screen. Indeed. Nothing on the desktop.
I ask her to take a screenshot, again.
The little widget appears in the lower right corner of the screen, but it looks …
… suspiciously different to what I'm used to.

@superpixel@mastodon.social Finder so busy animating the icon it forgets why it’s animating the icon in the first place …

@AskASwiss @karpi Die Rechten können nur gewinnen damit: entweder ist die SRG ganz weg oder massiv redimensioniert (win!) oder man hat eine Redaktion, die bei jeder Frau, die auf dem Bildschirm erscheint, sich schon überlegt, ob das jetzt vielleicht zu woke ist, weil man den Rechten keine Angriffsfläche geben möchte – auch win!

@AskASwiss@chaos.social
@AskASwiss @karpi Das hängt ja beides zusammen. Die Strategie der Rechten ist es, sich ständig über die «Linkslastigkeit» der SRG zu beklagen und das dann als «Begründung» zu bringen, um die SRG zu schleifen oder zu definanzieren.

@adfichter@infosec.exchange Lustig zu lesen, auf welche Punkte das „Factchecking“ *nicht* eingeht …
Amazing what icon designers come up with to make AI logos look even _more_ like assholes.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange I was about to boost this again before to my disappointment I realised I already did and couldn’t boost it again.
