moormaan@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada-based TD Bank hit with $3B penalty in U.S. money laundering settlement0·7 months ago“TD Bank created an environment that allowed financial crime to flourish,” Garland said. “By making its services convenient for criminals, it became one.”
I hope no one indeed will be “off limits” in the criminal investigation, let’s see…
moormaan@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single dayEnglish0·7 months agoI agree. I love Mastodon’s calm columnar UI with lists and hashtags where I feel I’m in control of my experience, and that I can just stop whenever and come back in three days.

moormaan@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Police In Canada Warn Lawyer Over Her Social Media Posts On Israel0·7 months agoI agree with you, I’m also missing context. I agree this looks very fishy for the police to be paying her a visit with the “you are walking a line” comment, but without knowing all the details, I’m reluctant to jump into definitive conclusions. I really hope this story gets picked up by media so we at least get that side as well, however imperfect it might be.
moormaan@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Releasing names of 900 alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to Canada could embarrass federal government, bureaucrats told0·8 months ago“A few stakeholders were concerned that the release of the report would result in new legal action (criminal prosecution, citizen revocation, or otherwise) being brought against the individuals named in the report,”
Also known as “justice” and “law”.
moormaan@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after allEnglish0·9 months agoMy situation exactly, and I’m very happy with it. M2 with its speed and long battery life compensates well for some unconfigurable behaviours in MacOS that I have minor gripes with, and for gaming and general Linux goodness, Steam Deck to the rescue.
moormaan@lemmy.cato Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 20242·9 months agoWow, thanks, I’ll try this!
moormaan@lemmy.cato Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 20243·9 months agoI’m using Vanilla, but AFAIK modded would work just as well. The key for playing old, pre-controller games meant for big monitors on the Deck are two features: Stream Input and Native Zoom. I always map one of the back buttons (usually) to Toggle Zoom.
Please post about your experience with modded Morrowind, I might want to try that too!

Thanks for sharing, great list!
I actually upvoted the comment because I agree that silencing voices (which aren’t harassing or abusive) is a bad thing, regardless of what opinion they are expressing. But downvotes aren’t the same as admins banning you based purely on difference of opinion, let’s not conflate the two. This thread is about the latter, while downvotes are just another form of free speech.

moormaan@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Google workers complain bosses are 'inept' and 'glassy-eyed'English0·1 year agoDo you have a signed agreement with them on the original schedule? I don’t think it’s legal for them to unilaterally change that agreement.
moormaan@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•New Study Says Artificial Intelligence Still Too Costly To Replace Most Human JobsEnglish0·1 year agoThe title (click bait as it is) withholds the most important qualifier from the text of which AI we are talking about:
"“Overall, our model shows that the job loss from AI computer vision, even just within the set of vision tasks, will be smaller than the existing job churn seen in the market […]”
Sure, computer vision is important for some jobs, but it’s a much smaller subset of jobs that is really deemed protected as claimed by the study. If the knowledge has already been coded to text on the other hand, it’s a different story.

moormaan@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.English11·1 year agoI’m A YouTube Premium subscriber, and I’ve been noticing this delay on my TV for a few days now - a very noticeable, long pause when opening the home screen until the thumbnails are loaded. I’ll explicitly check other places too now, I’m not sure if it’s also happening in Firefox for me.
I’m not surprised, but this finding would not have crossed my mind.
