Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that up!

I said “patents infringed”. Or what do you mean?
If it’s about those pretty similar character models like those linked in the article, then I can understand Nintendo better.
But if it’s just about the concept of “collecting monsters” and using them in battles somehow, then they can go fuck themselves. I’m eager to learn where they see their patents infringed.
There are a lot of different species which serve as pollinators besides bees. Afaik, some are more specialised into specific flowers/plants than others and without them, these plants wouldn’t be able to reproduce. (Yucca moths for example.)
It was already ruled that they failed to sufficiently disclose which information was used and how.
This is not evidence that they’re using your microphone, and you know it’s not.
I didn’t claim it to be evidence for that.
somehow bypassing Google and Apple’s mic usage notifications
Unless some form of hardware notification is hardwired into the device, which indicates cam or mic usage, I’m on the rather paranoid side regarding software notifications. Software is usually much easier to break. I’m leaning a lot out of the window now, as I don’t know how secure those notifications are implemented. However, even then there is reason for concern, given that facebook had / has questionable deals with device manufacturers. If they were willing to share personal data with device manufacturers, there is reason to suspect this went or can go the other way around as well.
I don’t know why you keep coming back to trust. […] That’s not the point.
It is mine. Even though there is no evidence for a surveillance using device microphones itself yet and it could be surprising if they were able to, given the history of facebook, they participated in a lot of rather surprising shit.
Aye. Facebook has been proven to be shady af over and over again.
it wasn’t in secret
Did I misread something? It even says in the title of the linked article, that it was a “secret project”.
The evidence is: among other things, facebook has repeatedly violated user’s privacy. It would be no surprise if they would also monitor conversations via the microphone. Sure, currently there seems to be no evidence for that. But I wouldn’t be so naive to just trust them on that.
Yes. Just another malicious thing facebook does. Surely, they are totally trustworthy in all other regards. /s
Security researchers can and probably have tested for this and found no clear, verifiable evidence, otherwise we would have known.
Facebook snooped on users’ Snapchat traffic in secret project, documents reveal
Thanks for sharing!
As far as I know, there is no such list (yet).
What should be done:
Escalate it to the people responsible for IT administration & security in your company or institution. They’ll deal with it.
But the default step if you suspect of being infected is not to use the device at all until you got a green light for it from the security/admin folks. Power down, disconnect from any networks, either via physical cables or wireless, unplug external storage devices and wait for further info.
Oh ja, richtig. Ich bitte um Entschuldigung!
Ja, sogar auf mehreren Instanzen. Das ist aber auch das Problem. Zersplitterung, statt ein einzelnes Zuhause dafür zu haben. :'(

As I’ve always said, climate protection is economy protection. In the long run especially.
But those fucks in charge are too short-sighted and narrow-minded.
Short term profits are more important than long term financial survival. Or, in case of our climate, even survival at all.
Thanks for pointing it out. There is clearly room for a lot of error.
How is it a proxy war if it was russia which started it?
Which mustn’t be an issue. Most advanced nations produce a surplus of food for example. So much, that an insane amount of it is wasted and never consumed.
So in principle, sure. Some work is necessary to allow a certain quality of life for all and ensure survival. But if you think about our fucked up wealth distribution, it does not need to be so hard.
