More info there.

There are several more that aren't used. There are a few reserved for promotions or movies and such. 666, 900-999 and 000 numbers are out as well.

I believe that SSNs have to pass a luhn check too.

The more Russian stuff evaporates, the better. And no, I don't give a fuck who decides to do it.

When I see my Dr. or when I talk to other engineers?

Any in many ways, that is the way engineers should speak to other engineers when analyzing a problem.

If two or more people can actually share a common goal of finding the best solution, everyone involved should be making sure that no time is wasted chasing poor solutions. This not only takes the ability to be direct to someone else, but it also requires that you can parse what others are telling you.

If someone makes something personal or takes something personal, they need a break. Go take a short walk or something. (Linus is a different sort of creature though. I get it.)

TBH, this is part of the reason I chose my doctor (GP). She is extremely direct when problem solving and has no problems theory-crafting out loud. Sure, we are social to a degree, but we share many of the same professional mannerisms. (We had a short discussion on that topic the other day, actually. I just made her job easier because I give zero fucks about being judged for any of my personal health issues.)

From government systems, yes.

This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.

... to improve efficiency of click farms and to bypass captchas.

Ok, this conversation is going to go nowhere. There is a clear divergence in what we both say vs what we interpret each other saying. We can probably both keep trying to explain our points, but it will just lead to an endless cycle of nonsense.

What my familiarity is with one ideology or another is irrelevant to this thread.

But yeah, ml/c/usa is a great example of mostly anti-west mass posting by a vocal minority. We could get into specific subjects and events that may or may not be true, but that risks detailing the point of this thread. (This may have changed over the last few months, but I doubt it.)

For generic cut-n-paste responses, all you usually need to do is mention anything about Ukraine or Chinese gost cities. Those are just two glaring examples, but I am sure there are more.

Your experience is going to be different because you likely have different views than me. That's not good or bad, it just is what it is.

No, I am not a fan of .world either. It's got its own set of issues.

I have and blocked nearly all of it. They have fuck-all to do with Marxism or Communism and mainly focus on Kremlin and CCP anti-west propaganda.

It's worse than the "conservative" communities, actually. It's not so much about promoting a cause as it is about telling everyone else how they are "bad". Any dissent is usually met with insults or walls of cut-n-paste posts that all point back to state media sources or fake sites.

While all places have their own degrees of circle-jerk mentality, it can be especially bad in some corners of Lemmy.

Hey. I made that joke first about hell freezing over. Booo!

I thought it was nudie calendars of Olga Skabeyeva and RT news, but you can call it whatever you want I guess.

There was an article posted today on /c/texas (Lemmy World, I think) about them actually connecting to the national grid.

I guess there actually was a cold day in hell.....

Then there is ml and lemmygrad. They lean on something, I know that at least.

New users accidentally posting on those instances is kinda fun to watch, TBH. It's like Lemmy's version of hazing I suppose.

And that is just an ignorant thing to say.

Maybe? There are a ton of shitty BT implementations in the wild that will never get patched. This does seem quirky at first glance, but could just as easily affect millions of vehicles, as an example.

If I was so inclined, I would camp out in a busy parking lot with an antenna just to see what I could find.
