Discord cuts ties with Peter Thiel-backed verification software after its code was found tied to US surveillance efforts in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, they are only cutting ties due to the attention. They'll replace it with something just as bad, or worse.

Then they charge the child with fetal murder, or whatever Texas calls it.

It is, for sure. It's even worse when you get pull requests from non-coders that think they can just point an LLM at GitHub and say "go fix this bug".

Facebook shares that info for profit with no problem, why not do the same to actually help people?

Not to split hairs, but you have no right to privacy in public spaces.

When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It's always been the case. Now it's just transparent, vs. being baked into the price of the goods. When the economy sucks, vendors do stuff like this to try and soften the blow (for themselves).

Pam Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The DOW is over 50,000 dollars! The S&P at almost 7,000. NASDAQ is smashing records. That's what we should be talking about" in c/Epsteinfiles@lemmy.world

Deleting posts is just setting visibility to 0. They still exist, and you should assume they exist forever.

Ring is always recording and uploading to their servers, even with you're not paying for the subscription in c/technology@lemmy.zip
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The best way to ensure privacy is by not buying spying equipment in the first place. Ring and Flock are two sides of the same coin, where Ring is driven by consumer choice, and Flock is just outright insidious. They both serve the same goal, and it isn't public safety.

As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value to having a VPN? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Of course. Th legal things you do today can be made illegal tomorrow.

Exhausted with CloudFlare Turnstile becoming the front door of every website (www.cloudflare.com)
 

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...

Any way to change background color of CarPlay's "Now Playing" view? (lemmy.world)
 

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

Request: Make it faster to switch accounts (lemmy.world)
 

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

"Mark read on scroll" doesn't work reliably (lemmy.world)
 

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

Feature request: Swipe through image posts in feed (lemmy.world)
 

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.
