  • Edit: After reading some of the responses, it's made me realize why IT often wants to heavily restrict what you can do on a work PC, which is frustrating from an end user perspective, but if people are just clicking links in emails and not following basic internet safety, then damn.

    I... I.. 🥲 thank you.

  • My mom can be like that sometimes, she's always had bad memory lapses in the strangest of times. No drug or drink, and no sunflower seeds or nasty anti-burgular precautions, but once she called me in a nearly empty Walmart parking lot after close because she couldn't find her car and thought someone had stolen it. She called me when I was about 5 minutes away saying she found it, it just wasn't where she remembered parking it. In a nearly empty lot.

    And I misread FIL as stepdad. That's a much better life outcome for you 😆

    1. Research the highest selling ever vanity number, consult with the largest vanity number holders, find out what the most expensive vanity number is.
    2. If I get it, sell it.
    3. If it's random, ask a bunch of people on Lemmy what their ideas would be if that happened.
  • My dearest apologies, my dear lad or lady, I must be misinformed. I was under the mistaken assumption that we didn't want Lemmy turning into reddit memefest of smoothbrainery. It shal'nt'nt happen again.

    Tips fedora and walks away

  • I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it's your 16th birthday and you're thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it's your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.

    Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.

    I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of "the other" out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the "others" out there.

  • Adding to this

    Citing unnamed sources, Reuters on Thursday reported that Iran had withdrawn senior officials from Syria following a series of Israeli airstrikes in a bid to avoid being directly drawn into a wider conflict in the region.

    US officials told CNN this week that there were signs that the Iranian government was becoming increasingly concerned about the actions of its proxy groups in the region, who have launched over 160 attacks on US forces since October.

  • It's insane how infested Lemmy is with anti-Western shills stirring the pot against the West in any way they can. My fiancee is Jewish but I'm not religious so we have debates/arguments about the war, but it's clear here that any comment not "Israel is literally Satan" is downvoted to hell.

    Don't get me wrong it was bad on Reddit but Lemmy is on another level.

    That's a problem with decentralization that needs to be solved because at the moment the only tools to deal with any of the tens or hundreds of Lemmy instances plagued by propaganda is to defederate them (on the Admin side) or block each individual user/server/sub (on the User side).

    At least with centralized services you can detect and (shadow)ban obvious bot activity quite easily. As far as I know of Lemmy infrastructure, your IP/User-Agent/other identifying metadata only goes as far as the server you're registered to.

    Running a popular Lemmy server is probably a nice way to collect some juicy 0days from governments though, if you have the skillset.

  • What's to stop someone driving cross-country or even just for a 1-off fill up and wearing a hat and glasses and covering their plates with cardboard and tape right before coming and going?

    E: someone else in the thread mentioned an attendant will make sure they can see people's faces before starting the pump

  • No I'm sure they're under NDA, but this specific example doesn't seem like it would provide anyone trying to game the system any insight the numbers don't already provide, unless it was something like "the real counts are zero, the numbers are inflated."

    IOW doesn't seem like a big deal. But I can understand most Spotify devs not wanting to risk it.
