I like the suggestion of banning data brokers to make it more difficult for scammers to easily find victims

The bear has always been depicted on official documents with a red phallus. In view of this tradition, the cantonal government believed that it was reasonable to continue to depict the bear in this way. Nor did it wish to conduct an online survey on the bear’s future appearance. In its view, such a survey would not be representative and would have little informative value.

Normally I'm pro-democracy but they make some good points here

Maybe let them cook, if this is as moronic as it sounds, it could turn out like D.A.R.E.

A source told Reuters that the hacker did not realize they had broken into the FBI until the agents asked them to join a video call where they showed their credentials to the hacker.

They didn't know what they were doing and got caught immediately so no chance to leak

Fair response to someone opening an issue just to broadly complain about AI imo

It's funny, since what they are actually selling (cosmetic items) is basically free and any scarcity of those is entirely artificial, even if the cost of actually running the servers is not. The only factor that makes sense for determining the price is what prices will translate into the most revenue. I guess before they were setting prices lower than the maximum they think people will be willing to pay? Or that somehow people are willing to pay more now?

Well ok, I guess it eventually got there, but at the time Flash was getting shut down there wasn't any equivalent self contained game engine IDE that compared, it was a big setback.

The people mistakenly claiming html5 was going to be the next Flash, I guess

Now I'm imagining the government psyopping someone into thinking they were part of some revolutionary plot but it was actually all a controlled experiment to train an interrogation mind reading AI and they put many other people through an identical experience.

I think part of it is just that websites use more ram now

If you have not been posting racist/misogynist/homophobic drivel, threats, obscenities, scams etc — and yet you suddenly got axed for no clear and explicit reason, then we’re in the same boat. Are there any theories about why/how this happens? Is this the malice of specific humans, or some kind of automodding gone badly wrong?

Yep, happened to me, no clear reason given so can only speculate. I think probably they have new automod systems.

In the worst case, maybe they could simply disallow manual reports, and automate the selection of reports that match their desired outcomes, and the silent discard of all others.

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

 

I can't believe the main antagonist was

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
