  on Gaming Tetris issues legal warning after White House releases arcade full of parody games in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026

• One of the games, Build the Wall, borrows heavily from Tetris. Players stack falling blocks to defend the southern border during a “zombie border siege” and “protect the border from the coming horde.”

  Allowing the blocks to reach the top of the screen triggers a “border breached” message.

   

  Ahhh, this administration’s usual level of not thinking things through rears its idiotic head again. This basically says building the wall is counterproductive, and you win by keeping it down.

• Tasker, Klick’r, or similar probably could help by at least automating the response.

  But yeah, Google has been gradually forcing these dark programming patterns down Android users’ collective throats since the early days.

  on Study: Police Reports Miss 96% of Active Phone Use Before Crashes in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026

• Don’t forget my favorite telltale: the gradual drift into other lanes followed by a sudden jerk back into their own (or suddenly switching quickly to the one they were drifting into as a kind of “I meant to do that” cover move).

  on Study: Police Reports Miss 96% of Active Phone Use Before Crashes in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026

• There Are Some Big Caveats

  Phone use before a crash does not automatically make the phone user responsible for the crash.

  The researchers didn’t have fault determinations. Someone could be sitting at a red light on a hands-free call and get rammed by a pickup from behind. Activity 29 seconds before impact also tells us a lot less than somebody actively tapping the screen one second before impact.

  CMT additionally uses machine learning to estimate whether its user was driving or riding as a passenger. That classification has reportedly exceeded 96 percent accuracy, which is impressive, but leaves some room for error.

  So I would not take these numbers and proclaim that 751 crashes were “caused by phones.” The study doesn’t support that. What the study does support, very strongly, is that active phone use immediately before crashes happens a hell of a lot more often than police reports manage to capture.
