Draconic NEO

It doesn’t really matter, anyone can use Lemmy, regardless of gender identity or orientation. Some instances and communities are better suited for specific groups than others but for the most part we’re all people.

Hopefully he will be recognized as a troll soon and he’ll end up banned either from LW or even by his own instance admin.

Glad I could help.

Possibly vote manipulation as well, I mean where else would the sites to buy upvotes and downvotes get those voter accounts.

1. There are patterns of bot-posters, as well as the fact that in many cases the content exists elsewhere online and was copied.
2. You can’t really. While you can ban individual accounts, they are able to make more, as I’ve said before it’s very easy to evade bans in ways that prevent easy ban evasion detection on Reddit’s part. It’s also likely that if Reddit is doing it they won’t enforce ban evasion against bots, though I find that option less likely.

Could also be so they can make more ad money, since it makes it look like more people use the site, and more people see the ads. Allows them to get more money from advertisers.

Some may have been copied directly from Facebook since most bot posts copy from ones humans have made before.

Glad to see that there’s finally some effort to hack the shitty anti-consumer printer ink DRM.

CAPTCHA doesn’t stop bots, and let us be honest, it never really did. It frustrated the hell out of people though, and caused people to waste time doing these challenges. Meanwhile even before AI bad actors and bots could get past it simply by using captcha solver services run by exploited humans solving captchas for the service.

It’s a display of security theater meant to make normies feel safe but in reality doesn’t stop most bad actors.

Captcha these days isn’t even really a CAPTCHA in the traditional sense since most of the work it does is based on filtering of IP and browser fingerprinting, with a certain level of gamification because the goal is not just to keep out the people they fight against, but to waste their time, would work great if it didn’t waste normal people’s time, while real bad actors have easy ways to get around it.

Yeah this person is a serial troll. They will troll and argue about anything even if they are blatantly wrong and everyone knows they are wrong. They seem to have honestly nothing better to do, since almost all of their replies are trolling and hostility.

I’m willing to bet that this is one of those sketchy knockoff cables. The usb-c standard, called USB power delivery doesn’t support 10 amps. Likely it never could because it would require thicker cables and more heavy duty connectors than what USBC actually has. Anyone who knows anything about basic electronics already knows this, more specifically what happens when you put too much current through a cable that’s not rated for it.

All I can say is that I hope there aren’t devices that try and actually pull 10 amps through a cable like this, it would probably not end well.

It wasn’t even a PlayStation controller, it was a knockoff Logitech controller shaped like a DualShock but with Xbox colored buttons.

Average shitty house-flippers who lack appreciation for the beauty in older homes.

I think that WordPress integration has been added to Lemmy, so you should be able to also follow WordPress blogs right here, they show up as communities.

I mean I’m not sure how well it works, last I checked it was very glitchy.

I guess depending on the instance it’s not necessarily over-using it, as the point is to report content that isn’t up to the instance or community’s standard. On some instance that includes disinfo, on others it doesn’t.

I think brave should be disregarded as something safe and privacy respecting if they were willing to silently whitelist Facebook trackers in the past. Then there is their whole crypto obsession.

Because play protect is a piece of shit that is not very reliable. Google mostly uses it to block installation of apps or remove apps that they don’t like such as cracked apps, or apps that are used to crack other apps.

The real malicious apps are typically able to sneak past it.

It’s worth mentioning that the mod could stop working with future updates of the game, however.

That’s why it would be good if somebody had the source code, not just a backup of the mod. Available source code will allow somebody else to tweak it or more easily make a better one in case Sony tries to break it.
