Read before that:

Prerequisites

You will need the following software installed:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2. This can be found on many abandonware sites, but the installer can be a little iffy on modern versions of Windows. For convenience, a portable version is available that can be downloaded and used quickly instead.

• CMake. A copy is often included with the “Desktop development with C++” workload in newer versions of Visual Studio; however, it can also be installed as a standalone app.

And after that:

For advanced users, you can get LEGO Island to run from anywhere as long as ISLE.EXE and LEGO1.DLL are in the same directory and the cdpath and diskpath registry keys (usually found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mindscape\LEGO Island on 32-bit operating systems and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Mindscape\LEGO Island on 64-bit operating systems) point to the correct location for the asset files (the directory that contains the LEGO folder).

This decompilation of the game Lego Island doesn’t need something like that.

It’s possible withoit the company behind the game suing the devs

If this is a full recompilation of the game, why do I need the ROM file of the original game then? Just like an emulator. That doesn’t make any sense.

Yes, you can define your own search engine on firefox though. Just type in the no ai link of ddg and the search parameter.

Yes, at the very bottom though.

Happened to me on twitter. They wanted to open the front camera and look at my face and estimate my age.

I just went to thispersondoesnotexist.com on PC and showed twitter that image. They accepted it.

Skimmed through the text. What does it have to do with the topic here - WINE?

Context pls?

Wow I have never seen that. Which DNS do you use?

People are downloading a messaging app for you?

I wish I was you. Here no one wants to download a second messaging app just to chat with one person. Why would they? Everyone is on WhatsApp. No one cares about privacy and that the app is owned by Meta (Facebook).

Ahh so this is a US only thing. What you are saying is: the united states of america is fucked.

Good luck.

Ehh?? How would that app know about the data the store potentially collects?

Many stores have installed Bluetooth beacon tracking that will monitor all customers cell phones

What? No one is doing that. Why would they? What if you have bluetooth disabled all the time like me because you don’t have any Bluetooth accessories, or to save power, or because Bluetooth is insecure.

Self checkouts also have cameras that can identify biometrics

??? The camera is just to check on the customers if they are scanning everything properly and not stealing. A human is reviewing the footage. A human is going to confront you if they detect you not scanning something.

They have absolutely no reason to store the video footage or even sell that to anyone. Besides, no one would buy that. Not even the app from OP‘s post.

You should put down your tinfoil hat.

How would they be able to know that OP was the one making the purchases and not the cousin?

The cousin is the one uploading the picture.

everyone is on Signal

Where? I‘ve Signal installed and literally only 2 contacts use it.
