It’s a combination.

Most captchas goals generally aren’t 100% prevention, it’s to put a workload in front, this makes spamming the site cost money, a bankrolled attempt could just as easily outsource the captchas to real humans.

DNS sinks can often cause elevated traffic numbers because the client is constantly failing and retrying.

I bet if you enabled it to test the numbers would drop dramatically.

So an HDMI connected device that is streaming Netflix is getting screenshot?

I mean, even if it wasn’t a streaming service, but let’s say, video game content, or a blu ray, that is still a violation, and of course, if I’m playing content I made, then it’s violating my copyright.

The people who can get holidays off are generally the people who have the means to vote otherwise.

Until the last few years, the only time I had holidays off were if I could get someone to switch with me, meaning at least someone was working that day.

Labor day didn’t mean shit to me working at fast food, and retail has sales instead of closing.

Walmart ain’t closed on labor day and neither is McDonald’s.

That’s the first and second largest employers in the world, not respecting the holiday literally made for their employees.

If your video can be replaced by a title, it probably wasn’t with watching

I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

No I don’t, care to share?

Facebook’s Shadow profile on you doesn’t care whether you have an account or visited their site.

I don’t understand why you think I, someone advocating against pet ownership, would be for dog food?

Why do you keep animals shackled in your home, perform surgeries on them, remove their agency.

Having a pet at all is antithetical to vegan ideology, and making a decision about their diet (without their consent, because animals can’t consent) is exactly what you are attacking others for.

Don’t want to feed a cat meat? Easy solution, don’t have it as a pet, it’s not your choice to make in the first place.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

Zeitgeist could refer to the past though.

Nirvana was part of the zeitgeist of the 90s.

PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don’t mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.

Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can’t make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Why would a system meant to maximize the profit of the bar block out their best customers?

They only want to block fighters and predators because it hurts business, not for any moral reasons.

She’s not white.

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn’t an emulator or a vm.

Why do you say that? Can you explain yourself beyond just an absolute statement?

Weirdly enough, messages seem to be the only thing I see the general public being ok with diversifying.

Everyone I know uses different messaging apps, I have active conversations in signal, telegram, Whatsapp, messages(SMS), messages(RCS), discord, and matrix.
