Letting users fill out a form before notifying them that they need to sign in to submit it is scummy and needs to end. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, you can. It's called a chargeback. Companies hate it, because it's a refund plus a fee/fine they have to pay for being awful. You just call your credit card company and ask them to initiate a chargeback. They'll ask some questions about if/how you attempted to go through the right channels, how much time you allowed them, etc.

Tulsa police pepper sprayed children for walking out/protesting in c/aboringdystopia@lemmy.world

I wonder what part of their Student and Family Guide to Success includes "peaceful protest will get crowd control ordinance used on you". I'm sure it was for "officer safety" or some ACAB bullshit like that.

That'll be a $100K fine, no fault admitted, no executives in prison. Calling it now.

Bill Gates Admits ‘Affairs’ With Russian Women as He Apologizes to Foundation Staff Over Epstein Ties: Report in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 51 points 5 days ago

The phrase "underage women" is the biggest lie mainstream media has pushed as part of all of this. These scumbags didn't have sex with "underage women". The raped children.

She was trying to do a fluff piece interview, and he was trying to drop hard facts. I'm glad he didn't back down on his points.

Open source license that doesn’t allow your code to be used for AI data training? in c/opensource@programming.dev
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Doesn't matter. The companies will do it anyways and make you sue to stop them, at whic point they'll exhaust your resources long before any potential victory in court.

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 12 points 6 days ago

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

Trump administration keeping underage pregnant migrants in a single Texas shelter where abortion is outlawed: report in c/news@lemmy.world

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

Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months—for all white-collar work to be automated by AI | Fortune in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] plz1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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?

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.
