I assume it’s meant to poison data scraped for AI training. I’m not sure it works** but I don’t think they’re just trying to be an ass.
** E: mainly because a lot of DE time is devoted to prepping training data and we’re especially good at automatically correcting minor and consistent aberrations (common typos and other transcription errors) in large datasets

The condensers are garbage
Guessing you meant compressors. If their condenser tubing is faulty, it’s a potential fire hazard.
The types of errors and the commenter’s reaction to correction would suggest that this is a native speaker who missed a good deal of primary and may or may not be high.
🫡 I too am prone to being bubbled so I collect anti-talking-points like these in a dedicated note. A sort of grounding technique I guess.
To be clear, this is not only the best example I had off the top of my head, it appears to also be the best relevant answer from my note, and while Trump took credit for it after the fact, I am certain he would have accepted bribes to make the case “go away.”
Back in 2020 his DoJ filed the antitrust lawsuit against Google that concluded successfully a year ago.
Lol true. In fact, I guess always true for any historical use. At least, insofar as established power wants to keep playing the same game and under dog wants to play a different one. Shrug
While that truism might annoy lovers of !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world it isn’t invalid, historically-speaking.
From their first use in 1789 (long-short: seating positions) the definitions for left and right were fluid, but generally referred to “change” versus “status quo.”
In Stalin’s era, left referred mostly to pro-worker policies, the economic change of the communist revolution. That convention was solidified in the US during the red scare, where left-wing came to mean “commie heresy.”
After that period, the definition was gradually blurred again, perhaps by conservatives carrying forth the McCarthyist tradition of lumping any non-conformist view into “commie heresy.” Regardless, the resulting confusion in public political discourse is the reason Wayne Brittenden made the Political Compass website in 2001.
By canonizing the economic-policy definition used by the Bolsheviks/McCarthyists as an actual X-axis spectrum, and the social-policy definitions of most other contexts as a Y-axis spectrum, one could easily map both dimensions as a cartesian coordinate. Quite handy.
Still, as elegant and illuminating as that solution is, it remains a convention.
threat intelligence teams, like the ones at Meta, are doing “amazing work,” in part by staying siloed and separate from the commercial arms of their wider organizations. “But the question is how long will that last?” said Deibert.
What would be the point of threat intelligence that isn’t siloed?
They appear to be positioning themselves as a privacy-friendly alternative to a lot of “smart” technology that already exists in a more performant and robust form. That deviates from their usual brand and seems like a gamble, given how little average consumers seem to care about privacy.
It does set them apart, and I can imagine privacy becoming a much more public issue in the near future, I just wonder if they’ll see it through.
Yeah I guess Collective Shout are fans, but I’m not one to judge
Deliberate Anal Inebriation — a.k.a. “boofing,” “plugging,” “butt chugging,” “booty bumping,” And so forth — is a popular subgenre of concert-style praise music long enjoyed by American evangelicals.

Right, I figured they meant in order to make room. There’s too much cluttering 2.4 — zigbee, zwave, bluetooth, IO peripherals, microwave ovens, cordless handsets, walkies, and more. WRT general WiFi traffic, in dense residential settings 2.4 is often only used for initial client device handshake.
Yeah I thought the same, since my city did away with the 3-month rule two years ago (there’s still a partner-limit/monogamy requirement last I checked).
Apparently what makes it a “world first” is not that they allow gay donors but that they lifted all sexual activity-based rules (for plasma specifically) which used to reject sex workers, women who slept with bi men recently, and others. The title is just a bit misleading.
I’ve been checking out the localhost tracking vulnerability and there’s something I can’t work out: it’s not even a terribly obscure or convoluted exploit, especially Yandex’s implementation that’s been chugging for more than 8 years over basic HTTP. It’s just a glaring sandboxing workaround that’s been exclusive to this OS for more than a decade.
No matter how many ways I look at it, I haven’t come up with a reasonable explanation for how it was ignored, by demonstrably capable engineers, unless Google itself had use for it in the first place. And that fits a pattern of selective competence in information security that they just can’t seem to quit.
In short it’s the data collection backdoors they leave themselves that defeat the otherwise top-tier security of their consumer offerings, and it’s why I’ll probably never trust anything they’ve touched until I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again.
So no, you probably shouldn’t use it. Trusting the privacy or security claims of any adtech company will always be a mistake.
Aight, I feel you
