Redditors #prank #AI - powered #news mill with “Glorbo” in World of #Warcraft

source: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/07/redditors-prank-ai-powered-news-mill-with-glorbo-in-world-of-warcraft/

On Thursday, a Reddit user named kaefer_kriegerin posted a #fake #announcement on the World of Warcraft subreddit about the introduction of "Glorbo" to the game. #Glorbo isn't real, but the post successfully exposed a #website that scrapes Reddit for news in an automated fashion with little human oversight.

France’s browser-based website blocking proposal will set a disastrous precedent for the open internet

https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/2023/06/26/france-browser-website-blocking/

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments that will easily negate the existence of censorship circumvention tools.

The Power Of #CS1x - Ep1 - #Airwolf, The #Terminator, Don't You Want Me, #KnightRider and Jump - #KOSmusic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvClPvoxags

For many years my wife and I have wanted to create something dedicated exclusively to the #Yamaha CS1x #synthesizer. Finally, after so much work, we are very happy to present you this mini #series in which the #sounds of the CS1x will be the #protagonists.

Each episode will consist of 5 #famous #music presets that I created and performed on the CS1x.
The visual style and structure of these videos is inspired by early 90s learning video tapes.

The initial logo and the music, is a #tribute to one of the most important distributors of #VHS in those years in the #UnitedStates, the "Simitar Entertainment".

To make these videos useful even for those who just want to learn how to play some pieces of this music from the past with their own #keyboard/ #synth, I filmed the synthesizer from above in order to better understand the keys I press.

In this episode there is a brief description of the CS1x and a #demonstration of 5 presets:

• Airwolf Theme - by Sylvester Levay - (Lead)
• The Terminator - Main Title - by Brad Fiedel - (Lead)
• Don't You Want Me - by The Human League - (Brass Chords)
• Knight Rider Theme - by Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson - (Lead)
• Jump - by Van Halen - (Lead)

For the first time the videos where I play are live (improvised without a metronome). The sound you hear is pure CS1x, with no external effects.

All the #presets you heard in this episode are #available in #SysEx format on my #website: https://kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets/

#Microsoft is now injecting full-size ads on #Chrome #website to make you stay on #Edge

To be fair, Microsoft is not the only one practicing questionable things to increase the user base. #Google also shows banners to promote Chrome, but they appear only on the #company's websites. Google is not injecting ads on the #Firefox website, nor does it cry foul whenever you want to #download another #browser.
