Science Fiction@kbin.social•‘Foundation’ Shakeup: David S. Goyer Stepping Back From Duties Amid Budget Clash
2·2 years agono, what you read was there was a pause in production, and the cast had been sent home from eastern europe, at the time the reporting was it was due to “location issues”, but it seems now that the studio and the show runner had major budget issues, and it looks like the studio won the fight, but it’s most likely going to cost the series in vision and quality, which is paramount for this particular project.

4·2 years agoruh roh, this does NOT bode well for one of my favorite scifi shows on tv, whenever an originator leaves or changes direct control, the production suffers. every time.

Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•Avast fined $16.5 million for ‘privacy’ software that actually sold users’ browsing data
5·2 years ago**"A joint investigation by Vice News and PCMag in January 2020 revealed that Jumpshot was selling the highly sensitive web browsing data to companies, including Google, Yelp, Microsoft, Home Depot, and consulting giant McKinsey. The reports found Jumpshot was also selling access to its users’ click data, including the specific web links that its users were clicking on.
At the time, Avast had more than 430 million active users worldwide. Jumpshot said it had access to data from 100 million devices.
Avast shuttered its Jumpshot subsidiary days following the joint Vice-PCMag report."**

sounds like bullshit, if the manager wasn’t being asked personally about “the missing nice waiter” even once, she most likely wouldn’t be taking all that much stock in a couple yelp reviews, and when was the last time you heard about a waiter “getting a raise”, lol

Imagine purposefully giving a mewling quim like JACK direct access to your data ever again, just to sell it all to Elon Musk, again, again. People are in fact, sheep.

51·2 years agowell, no, gawker did themselves no favors by 1) posting a video of another person naked having sex , and then, 2) refusing to take it down when asked to “for journalistic integrity and definitely not salacious ad revenue”
this doesn’t mirror that at all, in the slightest, except it being funded by someone wealthy

4·2 years agothese folks are still confused that they have protection under “free speech” arguments anywhere except if being penalized by the government for it. there are no constitutional “free speech” arguments to be made against private companies, who are under no obligation to allow whatever speech they deem hurtful or potentially hurtful to their business.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Oh great – now Facebook and Instagram want your private data to train Meta's latest AI pipe dream
92·2 years agoWhen it was shown that Zuck was actively undermining American Democracy, without care for consequence, I deleted my Facebook account, have never used it’s messenger, don’t Insta or META anything ever. Same with Twitter, I mean, why would you choose to contribute anything to these monsters … so you can stay in touch with high school friends you never chat, call or speak to?
