Is this Solar Freaking Roadways all over again?

I'm kind of surprised the latency was that low. Unless the NK "employee" was spoofing being in SK or something.

Every possible thing you do, in interacting with, or being a victim of, Meta's ecosystem, is data mined for targeted ads tr to sell your profile to others. Same for Google. Same for Microsoft. It's the tech giant playbook.

Waterfox is on the same page. As long as the browser doesn't outright require it to functio0n, I think the privacy-focused forks will remain. Of course, it's extra work to maintain divergent code, but this is worth it, IMO.

My ten year old former Win10 gaming PC was recently reborn as a CachyOS Linux gaming PC, and I just finished playing through Clair Obscur on it. I did have to upgrade the video card, but I got the RTX 5050, well within your "second best" range target, since it's technically their budget level card.

I like carbon steel, mainly for two reasons

  1. Heats up insanely fast
  2. Super easy to clean

We are either at war and this is a war crime, or we are not, and it's state-sanctioned murder. I don't recall Congress declaring war against South America, yet.

The what?

Must be nice to have preventative MRI's as an option, vs. having to quadruple justify a medically necessary MRI to the insurance bureaucracy, have it be rejected twice for no reason other than their greed, and then finally pushed through after your doctor lays into the penny pinchers to tell them to STFU and get out of the way.

If you write a wall of text and put bullets at the end, you lost them already.

More modern approach to the widespread lack of attention spans is BLUF (bottom line, up front). One or two (max) sentences about what they need to do, at the beginning of the email, not the end.

Is Terminal even a Windows app or alias for cmd.exe/PowerShell? I know the joke is how bad the start "menu" is, but maybe they could've searched for a real app?

I'm not a Windows user, I'm asking genuinely.

 

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...

Been down for a couple hours for me.

 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

 

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

 

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

 

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.

 

Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.

 

Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?

 

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

 

Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.

 

In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.
