  • Thankfully, its verry open about the API calls to its database servers

    Also, there are some permissions that are less powerful (on purpose) than others due to a more narrow scope. So you need more.

    Versus

    • edit every page
  • Its funny how the only reason for me to be on the video player screen is to distractedly click on all the destracting links. (I run yt-dlp on a bulk of yt urls)

  • I have the opposite problem, I find windows or other OSes to be so full of stuff, (feature ritch) but lack low-level "i just wanna poke at this briefly" capability, the (possable) reason why most Raspberry Pis run Linux is because its so easy to address linking this thing to that one. Ive used linux so long that ive become used to

    • its tree mounting scheme /foo/mountpointFolder on /dev/disk/by-label/C drive where symlink resolves to /dev/sdc rather than a linear one C:/ on *internal concept* rather than a
    • symlinks on windows are discouraged so heavily. I looked it up and still don't know how to make them. on Linux, its easy,

      it makes a thing that acts almost just like the thing its referencing. in a GUI file manager, you can navigate into a symlink where reference is . and not get anywhere to great confusion. on windows this odd support for but insistence on not using a "basic feature" is mind boggling.

    • linux with things like Fuse (Filesystem in userspace) allows literally anything and everything to be a filesystem, more non real folders to make a new user's head spin.

    all of these things are about having flexible references and easy access to computer resources, On windows I find myself wondering why I cant open this text based file real quick without needing to go online and get some software that will specifically handle it.

    there are very few APIs you can touch in an ELF program (think EXE for Linux) that you cant with a Bash script and relevant programs. I get on windows and all the EXEs have have even more cryptic names than linux and no help menu or offical e-book and are at the mercy of the internee's answer (whats lsass.exe). it all makes me go, screw it! if I want to access the Raw C drive to do a non off the shelf task, I need to make it myself which means learning their programming framework.

  • They never blocked Baidu

    Internet domains/IPs on home users PCs or in some other way

    @ICastFist@lemmy.world, EDIT: add clarification

  • A little agressive, but yes, they dont reliquish access to your devce after purchase. "Calling home" being the catch-all term for devices that are fully or parially sending requests to its true owners for commands to run or data to give.

  • I dont know what you mean exactly, mabe fennec (and other ff forks) is keeping me safe from these changes

  • I know its wrong, but id be a wasted opertunity When your PS1='${PWD}> ' and you have really bad symlink conventions

  • In a vaccum, yes but the way reddit is talking and acting makes me think that it's taken the same cyinide pill only fans almost took and the one tumblr and imgur took

  • Boldly move forard! Add things like this to your blocklist, dont lerk here, leave the drauma to "stink in the corner"

  • Starting today, you will no longer be able to purchase new coins, but all awards and existing coins will continue to be available until September 12, 2023.

    Thats a non existant notice period and frankly either a knee jerk or the plan from the start. Its also in line with the new "core vision" of reddit. Goodbye, reddit.

    so this is a particularly tough moment for me as we wind these products down.

    Products, ey? Their intentionally designed to not feel loke them.

    we want to both make Reddit simpler and a place where the community empowers the community more directly.

    redditors be able to express themselves in fun ways and feel joy when their content is celebrated.

    You cant do that directly, you need to give people a reason to trust you. Trust your not twisting their words for your ends. This wouldnt be so bad if you didnt burn up all that trust. New Reddit, to be blunt, fake paridises are utterly disturbing to almost all humans. New Reddit, go ahaid, use tools to make users beleave there in a room of attractive people all giving you welcoming smiles, most are going to run for the hills

    Note: As indicated in our User Agreement past purchases are non-refundable. (Fuck you)

    We took your digital stuff that you paid for in actually useful green papers

    If you’re a Premium user and would like to cancel your subscription before these changes go into effect, you can find instructions here.

    Now, NOW!!!! KILL YOUR TIES TO REDDIT

    EDIT: Yes, do chargebacks instead

  • You keep your reddit memes in a folder on your harddisk on an MS DOS machine? /s

  • I cant express my diappointment with chatgpt, they let loose a bot that makes content farms shreek in joy but messes up basic things if their is no well treaded answer, wont give you non mainstream answers (you likely already know and watched what it tells you is "really obscure anime") And jenuinely has no tolerance for error, from you or itself

  • The chatgpt people are really paranoid. Gpt-3 is so good at not halucinating that it often cant, even if it needs to do so to accomplish a task. Fearing the ai will confidently give the wrong answer.
