Isn’t that one of the new games? I mean it’s called “Return”! I remember when Wolfenstein was 2D sprites and paper thin walls.

And all at the same time, with nothing the rest of the year.

You can still visit - and scrape - the new Reddit without logging in, so the scraping is obviously just an excuse for what everyone saw coming from the start: the gradual complete shutdown of old Reddit.

My brain was not designed for anything. It was not designed.

What if you don’t figure it out before losing both arms?

Don’t log in on YouTube. Unless you’re uploading, there’s no point.

Researchers’ work has always been abused by others. The advancement and free distribution of knowledge should not be curtailed for fear of malicious parties.

Your above average use of the word “one” and variations like “one’s” could be quite telling.

As could my correction of “it’s” in the above sentence.

Cookie-walled article.

But who will verify the parents’ age?

So… just the video, no ads, no comments, no text at all? Please block it for me too, YouTube!

I feel like a lot of what he attributes to malice or obfuscation is rather his unfamiliarity with the technical side of things.

Mapping numbers to non-sequential glyphs is exactly what happens in PDF, and PostScript before it. So is text positioning by Cartesian coordinates rather than in reading order.

Ligatures and multiple font variations have been around since fonts existed. Fonts that render incorrectly unless you use them in one specific way are legion (turns out font designers often have very little technical understanding, or just don’t care).

The only thing that sounds like obfuscation to me is changing the font encoding on every call. And if that is indeed its purpose, it’s a very poor attempt.

Rijndael is pronounced AES.

there is one ad blocker that still works. Two words: uBlock Origin.

Vivaldi without any plugins also works. No ads. And I’m sure there are many more possible configurations. This article reads like the author thinks there’s only two browsers and two ad blockers.

I occasionally see similar complaints, and I’m sure it’s legitimate for some users. But personally I don’t get it. I don’t block NSFW content, and yet I rarely see it in /all. When I do it’s usually a bunch at once, but like I said it doesn’t happen a lot.

The only thing in /all that used to bother me is the sports stuff, but by blocking a single community that’s mostly gone now.

Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Never change.

rule34.xxx is a website where users can post naughty drawings, renders, etc. of mostly anime or computer game characters. Think of your favourite character of your favourite anime, game, comic, etc. Chances are there’ll be images of them on there.

Yep. Language is the shit, but its logic is shit.

Say here’s a thought: can we sue ad companies for theft of electricity? They’re using my electricity to display their ads, without my consent.

in which the service admitted to “a catastrophic error of judgement”

It’s fancy text completion - it does not have judgement.

The way he talks about it shows he still doesn’t understand that. It doesn’t matter that you tell it simmering in ALL CAPS because that is no different from any other text.

Am programmer. Hate it.
