Firefox mobile showing a popup "shake to summarize" with the choices "now" and "later".

Edit: fine, i've added the alt text to the main body.

I applied to Ambrook several months ago. They recently decided to start a newsletter and tapped into their applicant pool for emails to add to their list without consent.

Furthermore their large "Unsubscribe" button is set to link to () while the small "Email Preferences" link is prepended with " /http" so it doesn't resolve properly.

After those 3 strikes it's hard to give them any benefit of the doubt, but at least the small "Unsubscribe" link was properly formatted.

Screenshot of a web-based AI job interview interface.

A pop-up titled "Quick note about AI usage" appears over the interview. It states that every response is checked for AI-generated content, that answers should be written from the applicant's own experience and in the applicant's own words, and that reviewers look at what a candidate did and how they did it rather than how polished the writing is. It adds that candidates who move to the next stage may be asked more about the examples given, so examples worth discussing should be chosen. A checkbox labeled "I'll answer in my own words." sits next to an OK button before the interview can continue.

Behind the dialog, the interview prompt asks for a specific example of working with others on a goal or project: what the person did to help and how everything was kept on plan, with the note that the example could come from home, work, school, a sporting team, or a community group. A tip at the bottom mentions that speech-to-text can be used to respond.

The juxtaposition of an AI-conducted interview warning against AI-generated answers is what the post highlights.

Eww… Maybe they come with free nits (headlice)? 🤔

In one case it was selected by default ("used - very good condition" for a whopping $1 discount!), so be careful to anyone reading this.

The app also forwards you to this broken page (obstructed by image) if you try to use it in an emulator: https://rasp.tatrabanka.sk/emul (or without "emul" on rooted device)

I almost clicked it too. There has to be a better way than having to be constantly vigilant against being duped into "consenting" to be spied upon. The internet doesn't have to suck like this.

I'm pretty sure if I accidentally press "OK", I get charged extra. In addition to the pop-up, I get the same thing as a permanent notification until I reboot – if I try to disable the notification, I get "These notifications can't be modified", as it is using the built-in system SIM Toolkit. I am using GrapheneOS. Name and shame: MOVISTAR.

The apparent rightsholders of the "motion picture recording of 'Coyote vs. Acme'" believe that it is in their best interest to send DMCA takedown notices to Google for free advertising of their movie.

The company "CTW Anti-Piracy 2", acting on behalf of "Altitude Film Sales" or "Altitude Film Sales 2", believe that people should not be allowed to share trailers or news articles related to the movie 'Coyote vs. Acme' and have therefore decided to send a DMCA notice to Google to remove 19 post URLs on Lemmy.World from Google search results, as this is clearly "unauthorized distribution".

I'm mostly mildly infuriated by them only sending this to Google, not to us, as I'd gladly take down any free advertising for them should they desire this, instead replacing it with posts about their malicious abuse of DMCA.

I'm obviously not going to appeal this to Google, as I neither care about Google nor am I willing to spend any time on restoring their free advertising in Google results.

bank want CCTV, but I didn't steal my own card so even though I and they know where the card was used I cannot obtain the CCTV as I'm not the data subject (the fraudster is!) so it can't be released to me, and the bank said it's not their process to seek it! I'm now £48 down a week before payday and they've riled me as SURELY they must be able to get the CCTV?! so yeah, I'm mildly infuriated right now.

For months, the children at the Mis Amiguitos preschool in Manhattan had tended to a bundle of corn stalks growing from a patch of dirt on a busy Upper East Side sidewalk, watching with pride as they grew to over seven feet tall.

Then, one Monday morning last month, the children arrived at the school on York Avenue between East 83rd and 84th Streets to a crime scene: The corn had been uprooted and scattered across the pavement.

The day before, surveillance video showed, a man on a bike had approached the corn stalks in broad daylight, dismounted and ripped them out before pedaling off. The police are investigating, but there have been no arrests and no word on a motive, leaving the school and the neighborhood grappling with a seemingly nonsensical act of vandalism.
