Is the user aware that the data they synchronize to their car, a machine that they own, is sold by the car manufacturer to advertisers? Do they explicitly agree to the selling of their data, when selecting what connectivity they want?
Can you blame the user for making a choice, when they’re not told the consequences of that choice?
To add on to this, if you’re using some random RAM stick picked out of the gutter, then it might be worth it to run memtest86+. Bad RAM sectors can give some weird unpredictable issues.
Yes, but windows is an entire operating system, with an antivirus included
Still, who pays 419$ for an antivirus?
On most, if not all, modern Android phones you can just unlock the bootloader from the dev menu. No rooting required.
It honestly reminds me of the time 4chan stole Shia Labeouf’s flag, locating it from a livestream with only the flag and the sky visible.
When initially fetching a post, existing comments won’t come along with it. New comments and new posts will only appear when at least one local user is subscribed to the corresponding community.
Hrmm, I wonder who would benefit from perpetrating such a myth
But in the app they can fingerprint you better, allowing them to better identify the criminal scum using third party apps.
I agree, instead let’s go with NFT profile pictures
How are you so certain that they’re not on your instance? I see that your sign up form is open. There’ve been other reports that spambots have discovered Lemmy and are signing up on instances en masse.
This adds up to a huge fragmentation across what was previously a single community.
Unfortunately you’re right, fragmentation is inevitable when a community loses it’s home. It’s only been a few days since the blackout protest started, give it some time for the dust to settle. I expect only one or two of the new communities to really stay active for a prolonged time.
Don’t be sorry! That MacRumors article is based on this admin comment on reddit, it’s reddit contradicting itself.
IMO its a sensible default, as it basically indicates that the language of the message is unknown. The admin settings even has a warning that deselecting the “undefined” language will cause most content to be invisible to that instance.
For incoming http(s) connections you can hide behind Cloudflare, which also helps for caching pictures. For outgoing connections to other instances you could also hide behind an outgoing proxy, in my opinion that’s not really necessary, but I’m sure others would disagree on that.
If you’re running the scam yourself, why would you even use an AI to mimic yourself?
I like how they state the following:
As of July 1, 2023, we are increasing the API limits for our free API usage from 60 to 100 Queries Per Minute for those using OAuth authentication.
They’re making it sound like they’re increasing the rate limit, whereas they’re actually changing it from 60 queries per user per application per minute to 100 queries per application per minute. So if you had a 3rd party app with 1000 users, you’d have 60 queries each minute for every single user, now all those 1000 users will have to share 100 queries each minute (so that’d be 1 query per user every 10 minutes), unless the app developer is willing to pay up.
Maybe I’m too European to understand your point, but my phone selling my call and message history would be just as outrageous.
