If you are getting something for free, you are generally the product, not the consumer.

Crap like this is why I set mine to about:blank

300K is nothing but a taste, for normal usage. I've been using NextDNS on my home network for a few years. I average 1.2 million queries/month. And that's with cache boost (forced minimum TTL) enabled.

$20/year is worth every penny. The amount of time you save in blocking all the ads and surveillance marketing services is worth 10x that.

Great, another F&F crap fest, and we're STILL waiting on Riddick: Furya how many years now?

  • Removing headphone jacks on phones
  • Putting the charging port for the magic mouse on the bottom, so it can't be used while charging
  • The notch on laptops. Seriously, I'd rather have a laptop with a full screen than have a camera embedded and lose part of it.
  • The acquisition and subsequent murder of Dark Sky (ok, this wasn't subtle)

Dummy's Guide on How to Be a US Senator

Reddit made an exclusive AI content deal with Google last year. This isn't about protecting the users or data, it's about protecting that exclusivity.

For the companies, yup. For the consumers, absolutely not. They'll probably charge even more for the less-adulterated products... Line. Must. Go. Up.

So when Trump "runs again"...

Yeah that's bullshit. Recruiters and hiring HR staff has been using AI screening and algorithmic screening WAY longer than candidates have been using LLM's to generate resumes. This is an arms race, at this point.

Yes, but she was terminally ill, so it was her taking it on her own terms. Unlike Epstein, whose suicide was committed for him.

Since its' the US, presumably so someone knows who to sue. Litigation is the US' primary domestic product.

 

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...

Been down for a couple hours for me.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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.
