I’ve always thought that CAPTCHA also checksfor time, e.g. if the correct solution is entered too fast, it will determine that you are a bot. This would mean that a fast bot would not really “win”. Not sure if this is the case or why I’ve thought it is, but it came to my mind from this 😅
Radical/Rad!
Earlier today I read that Twit…X had threatened to sue and got quite an epic reply from CCDH lawyers which underlined the many ways in which a lawsuit would hurt X first and foremost. Apparently they decided to have a go anyway. Time to get some popcorn 🍿
Forcing this might very well be something EU opposes. While there is a lot of corporate lobbying, Google would be forcing everyone to either use chromium or make compatibility changes into other browser. While not a total monopoly, it still limits the options radically. Therefore there might be hope that EU forbids this type of action. Let’s see…
Good point!
Just stated using Revanced Extended YouTube. One of the best apps there is. Makes everything so much more convenient and with zero cost.
Maybe so, although I don’t really have a interest in that. I really wish I was able to maintain my skills in both “fields”. I’ve found out that nowadays it is important to have people who can interpret layman problems and wishes to techies and explain technological “jargon” to “normal” people. Being a middleman like this seems to have it’s benefits.
A humanist here, working in the cultural heritage (which is also increasingly digital) field.
I reckon I have more computer skills than an average user but in no way I am a “techie”. It’s just that I know how to search for tech solutions and am not afraid of breaking the computer. Due to using Unity I also have some experience with C# and currently I am trying to learn python (mostly just for fun but you’ll never know if it ends up being helpful at some point).
So definetily not a tech person, but interested in both the humanist and technological side if life.
That one I knew, but thanks anyway 🙂
5 bucks for network monitoring made it a deal for me. Thanks 🙂
Stupid question, but what’s Shodan and why should I get it?
I think the point is that as long as certain services or fundamentals for living are based on good-will and philanthropy, they are in the end at the mercy of whims or calculated actions of those doing well.
It is PR in the sense that it does not only make the philanthropist look good, it also ties the subjects of the philanthrophy into a bond between the giver and receiver: as a receiver you are forever thankful to the philanthropist and in some perverted way constantly reminded of your subordinate status towards the giver. This strengthens the societal structures that benefit the rich and helps them stay powerful compared to massess. While I am sure that most rich people genuinely donate money to make things better and help others, it is still them who get to choose where the money is spent.
More equal and transparent option is to make sure that there is enough tax revenue to cover these kinds of costs from public spending.
I have also been playing with an idea of a philanthropic fund that allows anyone to donate, but not to decide where the money is spent. If the target for philanthropy could be decided by a group of experts/public poll, money could probably be allocated to places where it is needed the most. However, I am sure there would be a lack of bigger donations as the PR effect would be smaller…
Never really used it that much and I’ve been much more active in Lemmy than ever in Reddit.
However, if I have problem that need a quick answer, I usually search Reddit. This in not because it is somehow amazing, but because Google searches suck nowadays. Typing Reddit into the search query usually brings out the answer I need instantly.
It’s a bit off an off-topic but, can someone explain me the difference between IMAX and iSense? I’ve googled it but don’t fully understand it. How does iSense compare to this beast of an IMAX film reel for example? What about more standard IMAX theatres?
Thanks!
I usually just type as I find swiping unreliable.
As a side note, I just got a new phone with advanced haptics. This is the first time typing on a touch screen feels responsive 😯
I’m sure it also has something to do with that when you get older, you’ve had those experiences many more times than as a child. They just don’t feel that specia anymore.l
Great! I’ll need to get one before they run out of stock then.
So Intel Nuc’s are not probably ideal for that job? 1080p is good enough for me for now :)
Makes sense. Thanks for the info!
