I had a similar account that got banned for connecting to the wrong VPN endpoint. Clicked a random server from my VPN provider, suddenly my account was permanently banned with no ability to appeal

Thinking it was just some issue on my end (it was a non-standard looking ban), I logged into another OG account of mine, which also promptly got perma-banned

Extreme incompetence for them to be issuing perma-bans like that based on IP address

They made it easier for bots to thrive by allowing hidden post histories, limiting the API, and punishing users for “bad” reports, but claim they need face ID to filter out bots?

Only $15.66/hour for that? That’s fucked up

with a few bursts of up to 150Km/h to get away from idiots doing 80 on a 100 (or just to show off the torque to other types of idiots like BMW and some Tesla drivers 😏)

Yeah, they’re the idiots. Not the one going 50 over while showing off…

The difference is Discord and Facebook don’t allow users under 13. Roblox does

About the only internet consumer protections that exist in the US are for under-13

That sounds obnoxious they don’t support the usual MFA platforms

And at the same time there’s Fidelity (and others) using voice authentication as the sole verification of account ownership when calling in (I think they finally fixed this a couple years ago)

you have to have the banks app to do online banking even on your desktop

I have never heard of that. Can you give an example?

How many consumers have brand loyalty for harddrives? To me, they’re effectively a commodity. I’ll go with the one that has the best benchmark results for the size and price

In the short-term, it isn’t. Long-term, I think it’s much better

It will force AI companies to find ways to combat bad data and intentional poisoning efforts. I’d much rather anti-AI activists be the ones abusing AI than for it to be a Russian, Chinese, or American APT

The second effect is that it would make more people aware of how often AI is wrong. Way too many people blindly accept AI results

Also, you can always poison AI to fit your own world view. Teach it that the Epstein files should be thoroughly investigated, with perpetrators prosecuted, or something

Site gets paid and I get the content I want. Only one losing is the advertiser, which is a good thing in my book

Do you know if AdNauseum actively merges in new uBlock Origin changes, or is it fully forked?

Not a big deal to you

There are other people in the world that live different lives than you. Some of us use it as a primary messaging platform. It’s how I talk to most friends and family

And he’s politically connected enough to get away with it. Discord isn’t

OCR is mostly good enough. Problem here is we have 76 pages that we need to be read perfectly, with a low fidelity input

We also have very little in the way of error correction, since it’s mostly not human readable

IEEE rebranded 802.11ax as wifi 6 because… Marketing

Minor correction: The standard is IEEE, but it was developed by the WiFi Alliance (who make their money by certifying devices as meeting the WiFi 6 standard). It’s a pretty fair marketing strategy though. Normal users aren’t going to notice 802.11ac vs 802.11ax

The content of the posts are egotistical, not the bot itself. He’s describing the tone of the writing

Service has a lot of stability issues

Lack of competition. No other app store is allowed to operate on Apple devices. They have a monopoly, which is the only reason they can charge as much as they do

Sure, Apple are providing a payments platform, but why do they deserve 10x what Stripe charges?

I don’t believe that 30% cut includes payment processing. That’s an additional fee

Sad to think about how little creators actually get at the end of the day. Example of a $100 donation/subscription:

• Apple takes 30%

• Card companies take ~4%

• Patreon takes 10%

• Taxes take another big chunk

After all that a the creator would have, what, $40?

The platform is enormous and highly successful solely because it is a monopoly in the Apple ecosystem

I guarantee you if other app stores were allowed on Apple devices, they would take significant market share with a far smaller cut of revenue

It’s also an option many people would be fine with. I’m okay with Google having my money. Paying companies for products is perfectly fine. I just don’t want them to have my data and invade my privacy
