Added more context to the title

What a scrungy otter 😄

Thank you for the tip, I’ll try to remember that one

What’s idiotic is that OpenAI broke the law, got caught, and was successful enough in turning it into a marketing stunt (aimed at investors) that other companies want to do it too.

With this precedent, all you need to do in order to get away with hacking is to change your user agent to something an AI agent uses. /s

Unfortunately some of the stuff that allows fingerprinting falls into a convenience vs privacy argument. It allows a website / web app to make changes to display things more appropriately, or have helpful functionality. That’s why when you use a browser that is very strict about fingerprinting, some stuff will break.

An even simpler example is the screen aspect ratio. On a small screen, you want to use as much of the space as you can, but that information can be used for fingerprinting. This was annoying on browsers like mullvad, before they updated the aspect ratio to something more modern.

That doesn’t excuse companies that abuse that data for malicious fingerprinting.

I don’t think that’s what the user is asking for though. I read it as wishing that the games didn’t have those security requirements, so that they could play the games on Linux.

The joke in the meme isn’t “thank you to Linux maintainers for not compromising security”, its a joke about those games themselves.

Also their point about toxicity is valid, and I’ve found that it varies by distro. Without being specific, in case I just had a bad experience, some support communities were very hostile to users asking questions. If the new person didn’t phrase their question perfectly, using all the correct terminology, the support person refused to answer the question. It was a thread of “You said X, but X actually means Y, so I don’t understand your question. Did you mean Z”, when it is obvious from context what they meant.

I didn’t realize that Ruby Tuesdays was a chain restaurant, so that’s probably the reason it’s a shitpost

It’s still wholesome though. Maybe that particular Ruby Tuesdays has an excellent team. Or maybe they like spreading good vibes and every review is like that 😄

There are people who use and prefer Bing

I looked for a photo of a sea otter with fruit, but all I got was AI slop. So here is one enjoying some crunchy

Apparently it is both

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit

In common language and culinary usage, fruit normally means the seed-associated fleshy structures (or produce) of plants that are typically sweet (or sour) and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term fruit includes many structures that are not commonly called as such in everyday language, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

These are strange times for Fruit club. Strange times…

The mayor of Bordeaux has said he is bracing for “all eventualities”, as one of multiple wildfires burning in France is now 15km (nine miles) from the south-western city.

User experience wise, Canvas > Moodle easily

I didn’t know Canvas was open source, that’s cool

Sure but its not that farfetched either

Whether or not it actually happened, calling it out is the right move. Don’t make death threats, don’t harass, don’t threaten to dox people. It doesn’t help, and simply discussing the issue was enough to highlight the problems with the shadowban list

Why though, this strengthens his argument about the harassment

Unless the alt is being used to evade bans, or trying to steer the conversation, I don’t see the benefit in chasing around the dev on different accounts. Report it to mods/admins as needed, but don’t share it in this thread where a lot of people are already upset at the person

This bit:

Over the course of the last several days, I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg

I don’t know the extent of it, but I can definitely see this happening. Its not a fediverse thing, or a social media thing, some people take things too far.

I’m really hoping this is a joke website, or it was made for a TV show or something. It was the first result when I looked up “buy organs”

https://organcity.com/about/

If they are preying on desperate people, then that is just vile and the site should get shut down.

Because none of this makes sense, emphasis mine

It’s a fun coincidence

Also neat, I didn’t know about this one

I think it comes down to

• on paper it isn’t gambling
• in practice it has become gambling

ETFs are generally better, especially if you don’t touch them for a long time.

I’ll edit that comment for clarity

We host a few of the frontends on our own infrastructure, which improves performance for users, among other benefits like reducing strain elsewhere. It’s also easy for our local users to remember that old.lemmy.ca goes to the old interface, photon.lemmy.ca to photon, blorp.lemmy.ca to blorp etc. We are taking down the Tesseract one.

Winters’ lawyers alleged the platform “repeatedly and insistently misdiagnosed” him while drawing on previous discussions about religion to assure him he would recover.

I forgot that it “learns” now, I haven’t tried it in a long while 🤦
