I'm interested, do we know that people decide how to vote based on gif options presented on apps?

I'm not sure i want to live in that world.

Re:Yandex bot traffic down 99% after data center attack on Monday October 12, 2026 @01:58AM (#50051887)
I would like to see some evidence.

Previously we can point to data and see things like Scotland Independence accounts all go quite on mass when Iran goes offline, or the OSRS player base go down and the gold price spike when Venezuela has a blackout.

I've seen no analysis connecting Yandex's sabotage to a drop in hate speech on the English speaking internet.

Come on, you can't keep trying to interrupt the intentions of some blokes who have been dead for 200 years.

This isn't 40k.

Let's get this to $7 next.

The people need to learn.

Re:2004 RuneScape fit a multiplayer RPG into 56k dial-up on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @12:18AM (#49517903)
A large amount of work has been done this year alone to reduce botting to levels i didn't think was possible.

Obviously we only get the details JMods are willing to give away but some of their techniques can be seen in various reddit Smackdown posts like this one from six days ago - https://preview.redd.it/prx0s0qp2hlh1.png?width=355&format=p...

It wasn't lost or even taken, people voluntarily paid to have it taken away.

Would accepting these cameras be easier if you all paid $25 a month for it?

From the original thread:

> Why would you want to live in an area that has that creepy of a tech product facing the pool? I wouldn’t want the hoa or an enterprising creep of a cop spying on my kids or myself either.

You've all spent two decades strapping microphone/camera/gps combos to the side of your head and filling your homes/cars/tvs/fridges with big tech cameras and microphones but this is the line apparently.

I'm not well versed in American privacy expectations but it seems kind of arbitrary from an outsiders perspective.

Just a couple thousand years of ground/wheel based infrastructure to rework in that few years.

Better get to it.

I'm not familiar with 401k rules but presumably they get a choice of markets and products?

If one is over concentrated its easily avoided.

I doubt it, these kids are never getting clearance.

I expect to find them at an MSP with a firm equal opportunities policy.

I do good price for you my Amerifriend

For 500m i'll make all the gloves you want, we can slap as many X's on the size as you desire/require.

Let me know. Waiting for your call.

I'm not claiming they dont pay everything they legally have to, I'm saying the laws are wrong.

Nick 30 ans is tired and wants someone else to pick up the slack for once.

I'm happy to vote for anyone who can put an extra 0 on that, it would be nice for these companies to pay more tax than me one of these years....

Still buying, currently 12.5 billys underwater.

If they sold today it would be comparable to the largest banking losses from the 2008 kerfuffle

Listen Citizen, how else do you expect to soften Cuba up for democratic liberation?

Our cars are getting pretty big too.

A BMW X5 is only slightly narrower than an F150, a range rover vogue only another inch off that.

All fun and games with road infrastructure built for 108s and clios.....

Do drunk people regularly wonder around in the countryside or is driving massive trucks around population centres common?

I'm confused by this question.

Sure from an efficiency point of view its fantastic, personally i like some texture from my meal deal.
Mechanically reclaimed meat and a half gallon of high fructose corn water isn't much of a comparison.
Re:Humiliating IIS servers for fun and jail time on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @04:06PM (#48576089)
I'm surprised by this, maybe its industry specific.

An 80:20 split of windows server to everything else has been pretty common in the areas I've worked both as a <10 day contactor and as a FTE.

Re:Humiliating IIS servers for fun and jail time on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @02:13AM (#48566421)
Really simple.

I read the prerequisites of whatever software im asked to install and do what it says.

I'm not spending the next 3 years of my life trying to make some monitoring platform run on WebLogic i have other jobs to do in 4-8-12 hours.

Re:Humiliating IIS servers for fun and jail time on Wednesday June 17, 2026 @01:45AM (#48566222)
I would say 75% of my webservers are IIS.

Nothing internet facing mind.

The exact same argument can be made for cars.

Doesn't stop the government wasting half my Saturday and stealing £100 every couple of years.

We should congratulate cyclist on becoming fully fledged (oppressed) road users.

Re:Job: Head of Stonehenge on Monday June 08, 2026 @11:55PM (#48456169)
Just a smidge over $63k after tax and before gibbs.

The job market over here is shocking.

Someone should look in to that, seems illogical.
>on a yacht off the coast of Mexico in 2021. She also alleged Schmidt forced her to have nonconsensual sex at the Burning Man festival in 2023.

Do people normally stay in contact with their supposed rapist and organise holidays together ect?

Seems odd.

You can understand why - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgpqeq82rvo

Jeff will be president within 20 years imo.

Why does the FBI director have a merch store...?
Re:Google changes its search box on Tuesday May 19, 2026 @03:20PM (#48198089)
Allow? Deep down, do you think you have a choice?

Mechanisms might exist to make you think you have one, the same way copywrite should prevent millions of books being gobbled up by TheZuck but ultimately do you really have a choice?

Rules and laws don't exists for you.

Providing you aren't manhandling the dead or in to some degenerate sexual practises you'll be fine.
