In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention
One of Facebook's alleged marketing partners explained how it listens to users' smartphone microphones and advertises to them accordingly.
After 404 reached out to Google about its partnership, the tech giant removed the media group from the site for its “Partners Program,” which prompted Meta, the owner of Facebook, to admit that it is reviewing CMG to see if it violates any of its terms of service.
Seems like there was something to it if that was Google’s response.

https://gamerant.com/steam-more-users-chinese-than-english-never-happened-before/
Despite Steam being banned in China and users having to access it illegally via VPN, Simplified Chinese is now the number one user language instead of English on the platform.
-
China numba one!
-
According to data taken from Steam, 35.03% of all gamers are using Simplified Chinese, while 31.17% are using English. These languages are followed by Russian with 8.49%, Spanish (Spain) with 3.86%, and Portuguese (Brazil) with 3.43%.
How the hell are there more Russian users than Spanish?
I guess American HispanicXals might opt for English but otherwise I would have thought there were way more Spanish speakers.
-
Most Spanish speakers live in the third world thanks to colonial assholes.

Like the greater DC area!

Mushroom learns to crawl after being given robot body
WTF!!!

Well that’s that. Squirrels, mushrooms, bees. We’re no longer dominant

…mushroom controlled killer drones!!!

I don’t know which is worst, the home invader styling or the way it stops to look at its hands while it wonders if it could strangle a human with them.

for now…
in a hundred years, there may not be enough of them left to for anyone to claim han ethnicity any longer. (if so, it would by no means be the first time in history, either.)

WTF!!!
back in college days, i postulated that such could be done, only not with mushrooms, but with animals like insects, spiders, and birds.
my idea was to come up with mechanical/animal brain interface to control movement, using the particular attributes of certain animals to enable superior coordination for transportation. for instance, the coordination for 6,8, or more legs, or superior spatial awareness and balance to enable enhanced flight capabilities. control the animal, and thus control movement.
all aboard!

What’s their angle? Dropping delicious crab stuffed portobellos?!

Cordwainer Smith postulated mouse brains laminated in plastic then imprinted with the desired programming. Psionic elements too.

don’t see how they would stay alive without life support. also don’t see the benefit of imprinting anything on laminated slices of mouse brain either, or at all how it might work. psionics would be a very cool i/o twist though, should such a thing become possible (i’m betting it will… eventually).
my idea was to use living brains with their own programming intact, and then just add controls to guide them. if they are doing it with mushrooms, then how far off can animal control be?
peta would have a shit-fit though.

So, I haven’t really thought of buying a drone as decent ones have been pretty expensive, especially compared to how much I’d probably use one but this is probably the first to make me consider buying one:
I tested the DJI Neo and it's so good that all I can think about now is flying it
DJI knocked it out of the park with the Neo
It’s Chinese spy drone, though, so there’s that.

If you hear a sudden humming of rotors while you’re fapping, you could catch it and lock in a draw.
Or get yourself a masturbation chamber like mine:

We used a dji nano 2 I think to film over the sea and it just went in :/

Sounds like pilot error.
