This is heresy.

Because here it’s not normal to leave food at work.

That’s why I can be so chill at it.

A good old crusade against videogames.

I legitimately though Oregon was a State, I didn’t know it was also a city.

From my country I’m going to be generous and say Barcelona. Second biggest city here. I doubt next bigger cities are universally known.

That’s a lot of words for just saying “I love being a racist”.

You hate somebody because of their skin color equals being racist, simple as that.

Probably some filter would be needed. Like a list of curated instances.

Imagine if the geographically closest is the Furry instance.

It is. Both lemmy and Mastodon.

I cannot use Reddit or Twitter anymore.

Why the hell period data needs to be stored on the cloud?

How much could it weight? A few Kb? Local storage!

I would never trust such data leaving my device when is no need for it whatsoever.

Aren’t there any open source period tracking apps? I’ll do one, it can’t be that hard. An sqlite database patched to a frontend calendar and some basic predictions based on normal scenarios.

That’s all based on his info on how much is he earning. Which may be a lie.

I don’t even think his views per video are not inflated either by bots or by youtube themselves inflating the numbers.

I’m not sure mr beast views are real. And youtube probably know it.

To this day I’m sure he is just laundring money. Or that he has some special deal with youtube.

I don’t believe that he “just mastered youtube algorithm”, that’s not how things normally work. Idk to me just sound not trustworthy most of the time, there’s something going on.

Problem is that we’ll probably need a dedicated search engine for that. As answers are spread in lots of instances, some of them without “lemmy” in the name, I assume.

To be fair, Reddit is no longer that good of a source for answers in the later years.

Quality drop in comments is insane. Sometimes it looks like Quora.

Political and depressing comment ahead, skip if you are just here for the laughs

I don’t really get where this article is going. They are all over the place.

Let’s start with a fuck google. They are a evil company. But:

• Other captchas are also not very effective against bots. Arguably most traditional systems would be worst that recaptcha at fighting bots.

• Recaptcha agent validation while a privacy violation is faster than solving any other captcha and if you are hit with the puzzle is not that much more time consuming that every other captcha.

• That profit number is very questionable and they know it. Anyway, that’s no much different and probably less profitable that most google services.

Also is ridiculous how someone can say in the same article that the image puzzle can be solved by bots 100% of the time and that is a scheme to get human labor to solve the puzzle. Am I the only one seeing the logical failure here?

And what’s the purpose of all this? Just let bots roam free? Are they trying to sell other solution? What’s the point?

I hate google as much as the next guy. But I don’t really share this article spirit.

If I were to make a point. They point will be that people and companies should stop making registration only sites and dynamic sites when static websites are enough for their purposes. And only go for registration or other bot-vulnerable kind of sites of there is no way around it. But if you need to make a service that is vulnerable to bots, you need to protect it, and sadly there’s not great solutions out there. If your site is small and not targeted by anyone malicious specifically you can get with simpler solutions. But bigger or targeted sites really can’t get around needing google or cloudfare and assume that it will only mitigate the damage.

But if anyone knows a better and more ethical solution to prevent bot spam for a service that really need to have registrations, please tell me.

-Jellyfin: for playing media that I totally own and surely did no obtain by any obscure way.

-Qbittorrent: for reasons completely unrelated to the previous one.

-Amule: see above.

-Synapse (matrix server): overly complex way to send myself notifications from the server to my phone.

-FreshRSS: to have a self hosted RSS feed server. Could I use an android app for the same thing? Sure. But it’s more fun and headache inducing this way.

-TubeArchivist: Because I want to offload some of that cost inducing bandwidth that is making those poor YouTube executives to keep pushing more aggressive ads on their platform. I’m just that nice.

-Caddy: because I’m just lazy.

-Crowdsec: Because I’m just paranoid.

Just here to remember everyone that insects are indeed part of the animal Kingdom.

I do actually like to see mosquitoes die.

Specially when they are running away with MY blood.

From cuttings.

It’s not even new. We had it from centuries.

What I mean is what is already happening in some countries, that is having laws that makes extra easy for copyright lawers to sue anyone using torrent for sharing their IP.
