>full-screening it is a terrible experience

The extra bar from the mouse-over is kind of silly but, a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE?

Yes, it should be fixed though.

are you on dial-up?
I was a family subscriber for 15 a month. Then they bumped the family plan up to $23 or something like that.

Yea no thanks, we have ad blockers and now use Orion browser to watch on ios mobile.

except you cant use the AI function without using Edge.. That's a huge complaint from me.
ChromeOS is only in the market because they have cheap laptops that schools bought up. And not a single student I know would ever use one outside of school.

This abstract talks a bit about tardigrades DNA repair and radiation damage avoidance, and possibilities of gene identification.

Of course. I was wondering how eating less could cause death. That "academy" is sponsored by Wendy's and Coca-cola.

   The organization also publishes nutrition facts sheets   for the general public, which food companies pay $20,000 to   take part in writing the documents.[77] A list of these   publications for the general public include:

   What's a Mom to Do: Healthy Eating Tips for Families sponsored by Wendy's.[78]
  Lamb: The Essence of Nutrient Rich Flavor sponsored by the Tri-Lamb Group.[79]
  Cocoa and Chocolate: Sweet News! sponsored by the Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition.[80]
  Eggs: A Good Choice for Moms-to-Be sponsored by the American Egg Board.[81]
  Adult Beverage Consumption: Making Responsible Drinking Choices sponsored by the Distilled Spirits Council.[82]

  This industry funding also gives food companies the ability to offer official educational seminars to teach   dietitians how to advise their clients in a way that advances the interests of the food company. For instance, in a   Coca-Cola sponsored seminar for dietitians, the speaker promoted free sugars consumption for children as a healthy   choice.[83]"

Why would your server get banned though? It's not going to happen to moderated servers. If you pick some small, weird, or insurrection aligned server, that might be an issue. Otherwise, you're just stressing out about something that won't happen.
Re:Twitter's anti-Mastodon filter evasion on Sunday December 18, 2022 @09:59AM (#34038282)
you dont need to pick a small server like that man. that's what he's saying.

All servers can communicate. You're not locked into servers. This isnt an MMO... infosec.exchange, the one I use, isnt an exclusive thing. It basically just shows my name as: [email protected].

I can see and talk to mastodon.social. I can use hashtags and people from other servers will see it just like twitter.

The server you pick is just a name and a local server. If you pick a server that's dying, just move to the next one. You keep everything, it just changes from:

[email protected] to [email protected]. You wont lose the friends, just the host name changes.

Re:Twitter's anti-Mastodon filter evasion on Sunday December 18, 2022 @09:48AM (#34038181)
Mastodon, regardless of your server, can see and connect to everyone in the federation. The servers are just for how your name appears, local and moderation rules.

infosec.exchange can talk to and see content in mastodon.social

Not so sure about that amazon basics ranking. Pretty sure they are the same thing as a normal Duracell
Re:Ask HN: Discord banned me with no recourse on Friday September 16, 2022 @10:18AM (#32866335)
This is a horrible way of thinking. It's always good that "the others" are getting banned with no recourse, up until the point that YOU get banned with no recourse.

I know, because it happened to me, and it will happen to you, too. Eventually, you'll have a "hot take" on a topic against the hive mind of whatever media you use, and you're done.

If media companies allow public access to their services, they MUST become public spaces, and/or public services. TOS be damned.

If they want to restrict users when they sign up (just an example) "you must be liberal or conservative," fine. They are preemptively limiting their customers to certain conversations. But if they allow everyone in, you cannot mute one set of people.

On that note, any VC's needing a CEO to start a new company when this guy goes to the feds, HMU.
This headline is clickbait. Zuck said the FBI warned him of potential Russian propaganda during the election. Then, Zuck and his crew slowed down the spread until it was validated.

This entire discussion here is based on a false narrative, it goes off into rants of political discourse that were not true in regards to this story.

The only reason it was censored is because it fit a profile of what was expected to come. Almost all the conjecture from headline readers is covered in the podcast.

The conclusion is, if you want raw data, you can find it. 4chan is right there is you seek it. But big social media sites are not the wild-west everyone THINKS they want.

I think he is saying he believes Trump is still president.

How is it a net negative for society that some people enjoy something?
I'm curious what music you listen to that makes your brain so ripe?
“Not only was I groped last night, but there were other people there who supported this behaviour which made me feel isolated.”

Meta reviewed the incident, the company determined that the beta tester did not use the safety features built into Horizon Worlds, which include the ability to block someone from interacting with you.

There are also options limiting how close players can get to you for this reason. An easy solution would be to just set the default option beyond arms reach, and let the player lower it, instead of the other way around.

I personally would not consider this as sexual assault, even if I was writing a click-bait Title.

You can have faith in your religion without disregarding science. Who's to say creationism wasn't lost in translation to begin at the Big Bang and end at human consciousness through evolution?

I don't believe in that stuff. But it's a much more cohesive story than believing in an actual Adam and Eve with people living hundreds of years old.

If it happened, science may eventually prove it. Since you believe it to be fact, you should instead, push to dig deeper.

I feel like this is one of those rules that was made to target problematic individuals, but after awhile will be misused and then all hell breaks loose.
Re:Amazon Fake Reviews Scam Exposed in Data Breach on Friday May 07, 2021 @12:25PM (#27077642)
I don't find the fake reviews that important when I make a purchase. I know they are there. I know 95% of my Amazon search results are absolute trash. You get what you pay for. If you don't do your research, and think a $50 speaker from HWAROMA is going to be as good as a $250 Celestion because of reviews, that's kinda on you. Believe it or not, some people will want that deal because that $50 speaker might get them through a show in hard times.

You do have to do research on everything you buy. User reviews are still a part of that research, just not nearly as much.

If you google info on what you want, you KNOW at least the top 25 results are all paid for in one way or another, probably more than that now.

Don't expect a corporation to watch your back. Amazon has made clear they give NO F's about the average human using their services, as long as they keep using it.

I wish I didnt read this. Now I feel dirty because it's exactly what's happening.
people just don't understand what free speech really means. If you make terroristic threats, you're going to get in trouble.

It's analogous to incognito mode. People completely misunderstand its purpose.

They think it means they are sneaking around the internet protected with no consequences for their actions. In reality, "the internet" logs everything you're doing, only your personal browser doesnt. lol

I pretty sure that response was as close to a post mortem as we are going to get.
This is a little more nuanced than you imply. In the end, it seems they fixed the automod rule, but sub's are still actively blacking out as we speak. We'll see how far it goes, I guess!

Since we've got a firehose, might as well light it up first.
This is a false horizon.

Your eyes are seeing the reflection of the sky on the distant water or fog, making it appear the horizon is closer than it really is.

So it is an optical illusion, as your brain is what is perceiving a horizon where it is not.

lol I had a similar problem, but I just wasnt an a-hole and they blocked New York Times from charging my account with no waiting and no questions.

The difference is, I told them I had signed up for it, but was unable to cancel due to NYT's policies on canceling accounts.

Maybe next time be truthful. You don't accidentally buy subscriptions because it's full of ad's. You signed up for the sub. or a trial with a delayed payment and forgot.

incognito mode is not made to hide you from the internet. it's made to hide your activities from being logged into your browser.
