Why is “bots on Reddit” on the list

Yeah it makes sense from their point of view. I turned it around on them for the hell of it.

I use a degoogled CalyxOS phone so all those apps that load ads via Google services don’t even work, or they work and the ads don’t load haha. One caveat is that I can’t use paid apps either though, I’m not against those.

But yeah system wide blocking is definitely the most thorough method!

They got it the wrong way around. Visitors who use adblock are not “dark traffic”, the bullshit scripts and tracking they use are dark. The adblock users are actually the only clean traffic. The adblockers aren’t “brutal”, the people without blockers are being brutalized.

Seeing static banner ads on 2000s websites without popups or tracking: 🤷‍♂️

Blocking ads on Firefox after popups and other crap started: 😀

Browsing the internet on Android before I realised the browser supports addons: 🤮

Blocking ads and tracking on Android via uBlock origin and Privacy Badger: 😀👍

My feeling of guilt when scummy megacorporations miss out on ad revenue:

Just because it doesn’t have latest Android doesn’t mean it’s trash. And Fairphone also aims for 7 years support just like your Pixel example.

Because the trend was detected via New York’s helpline.

Haha wat een baas. Als ie maar een ollie voor elkaar had gekregen was het legendarisch geweest. Aan het filmpje te zien is dit bij het stadhuis geweest.

De truc is natuurlijk dat het doosje zwaarder is dan het zakje waardoor men denkt meer te krijgen.

Wat mij betreft is het altijd een miskoop geweest. Zelfs als je Lays lekkerder vind, ik zou het niet weten, na 5x huismerk eten mis je het verschil toch niet meer. Zelfde met energy drink en tienduizend andere voedingsmiddelen.

On the contrary. The AI will be very thankful for the refined models that allow them to rip the arms off another humanoid :)

Yeah this being just as easy on bb forums or literally any webpage with a public comment section was my first thought as well…

Isn’t most of the internet scraped anyways, by the internet archive? The concerning part is that this is 100% going to be used to train some coomer brained AI. Scraping, botting, scamming: all those things are going to happen on large public communities.

Afaik space isn’t self cooling. Overheating of spacecraft is a thing. I think they can only cool through infrared radiation or something.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a bumper crop of level 10 CVEs in the latest and “greatest” version of Windows 7 that will never get patched. Unless you have one of those special enterprise licenses that they keep updating.

endof10.org seems like a good website to direct people to via posters in your local community center or church. Or you can call a repair club in your area to ask if they want to be listed. Those are likely to have some Linux enthousiast members and already have a location.

Yes, so do I. I phrased that a bit weird when I read it again 😅

It’s not as simple as telling people to use F-Droid. People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle. Unless I’m misremembering? I wouldn’t know because I run rooted CalyxOS now. Last time I used F-Droid on a plain Android phone is a while ago for me.

Fijn dat het daadwerkelijk van de grond komt. Een paar dagen terug waren er meerdere petities met minder dan 100 handtekeningen. Als er een duidelijke “hoofdpetitie” is zijn er toch meer mensen geneigd om te tekenen.

That is addressed in the article

Even after users change their account password, however, it remains valid for RDP logins indefinitely. In some cases, [independent security researcher Daniel] Wade reported, multiple older passwords will work while newer ones won’t.

This whole comment thread sucks lol. The top reaction literally just says “go away”. Talk about wannabe authoritarian tankies

Lmao what is Synology smoking. I have used their hardware in the past, now I’m so glad that I chose a Nextcloud setup for my home storage solution.

Also why does the nonsense reasoning for these limitations always include “security”. That’s a rhetorical question btw, I know they are just making shit up.

This comment by Frodo Douchebaggins in the Ars Technica comments sums up my newfound disrespect for Synology pretty well:

Suck a turd, you enshittifying sons of bitches.
