"until something happens"

I suppose Metas history of actively being a bad actor working against societies best interests and enabling hate groups doesn't qualify as 'something'...

Zapster amirite

IPv4 is the old standard of Internet Protocol addresses that you're probably familiar with (something like 192.168.1.10, although the 192.168.x.x range is actually only private addresses). It's still used on most devices today but it only supports up to ~4.3 billion addresses and as you can imagine, those addresses have basically run out with all of the various devices and servers and whatever else is connected to the internet. IPv4 is in the process of being replaced by the new (10 27* year old) IPv6, but there are still a lot of old devices and a need to support the old protocol. Making IPv6 available for this server will mean any devices connected to the internet should be able to communicate with the server on this new protocol.

As for DNSSEC, when you go to resolve a a hostname, like lemmy.world, your computer will make a request to a DNS server to figure out what IP address it needs to navigate to in order to access the server. In theory, someone could intercept your DNS request and tell you an address for the server that isn't actually the address for the server, but rather a malicious host. DNSSEC basically acts as a layer of security to help confirm that information you're getting on your DNS request is good and true.

Guy who scammed his friend out of $500: oh, no it totally wasn't me man. There was a video? Weird it must have been a Randeep Fake

Well, digital piracy.

But ye olde Black Beard and the modern Somalian type is very much theft.

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/09/chromes-new-ad-blocker-limiting-extension-platform-will-launch-in-2023/

Starting in June 2023 and Chrome 115, Google "may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel." Also starting in June, the Chrome Web Store will stop accepting Manifest V2 extensions, and they'll be hidden from view. In January 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from the store entirely.

Google says Manifest V3 is "one of the most significant shifts in the extensions platform since it launched a decade ago." The company claims that the more limited platform is meant to bring "enhancements in security, privacy, and performance." Privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) dispute this description and say that if Google really cared about the security of the extension store, it could just police the store more actively using actual humans instead of limiting the capabilities of all extensions.

The big killer for ad block extensions comes from changes to the way network request modifications work. Google says that "rather than intercepting a request and modifying it procedurally, the extension asks Chrome to evaluate and modify requests on its behalf." Chrome's built-in solution forces ad blockers and privacy extensions to use the primitive solution of a raw list of blocked URLs rather than the dynamic filtering rules implemented by something like uBlock Origin. That list of URLs is limited to 30,000 entries, whereas a normal ad block extension can come with upward of 300,000 rules.

'Historic' number of people don't want this thing happening for the first time to happen.

Wow, such history!

Hopefully Desantis and Trump spend much of their money, time, and effort shitting all over one another to lessen the chance of fascist scum finding their way back into the Whitehouse.

Local ordinances mandating water breaks for workers outdoors, passed in Austin in 2010 and in Dallas in 2015, have contributed to a significant decrease in annual heat-related illnesses and heat deaths. Since 2011, annual workplace heat-related illness numbers have dropped by 78 percent, while workplace heat-related deaths have cut in half. San Antonio considered a similar ordinance before the Death Star zapped its chances.

In addition to overturning existing local ordinances, House Bill 2127 bans cities and counties from passing new ones at the risk of legal action. These include any bills concerning agriculture, finance, insurance, labor, natural resources, property, business and commerce, and occupations.

[...] come September 1, those water breaks in Dallas and Austin will no longer be mandatory. Some workers fear that bosses seeking to increase production will eliminate existing breaks.

Trying to understand how this has nothing to do with it?

Killer Mike said it best,

Don’t criticize rioting because I understand it. But after the fires die down: organize, strategize and mobilize. Like Ferguson, you have an opportunity to start anew. I don’t have a solution because whoever’s there will have to come up with it. But we need community relations: Riots are the language of the unheard.

Being able to use Google maps (which is constantly updated, integrated with my contacts, and actually had a UI/UX team design it's interface) on the tablet sized vehicle display and car stereo system, in addition to whatever music apps, is pretty nice. As well as Google search via steering wheel controls for managing navigation.

Yeah, I could play stuff with Bluetooth or use the integrated GPS system but the quality of audio is noticably worse and the GPS is absolutely shit but nice to have in a pinch.

Honestly idk what other apps integrate with AA, music and directions pretty much do the trick for me.

Yeah, seems pretty reasonable.

Just add a little nuclear winter and we're good. So there might be a little radioactive fallout, that's just a problem for the poors to deal with. Billionaires will be okay in their acre sized underground bunker clubs and that's what's important.

I didn't say the headline was the best, I said the article discussed the topic at hand and provided examples with how.

The fact that people are ALREADY dying and this would LIMIT their MANDATED breaks, it goes to show this is very much a step in the wrong direction.

That's not even acknowledging the fact that all estimates indicate summers will only get more severe.

Here's an example https://www.google.com/robots.txt

Basically it's a file people put in their root directory of their domain to tell automated web crawlers what sections of the website and what kind of web crawlers are allowed to access their resources.

It isn't a legally binding thing, more of a courtesy. Some sites may block traffic if they're detecting the prohibited actions, so it gives your crawlers an idea of what's okay in order to not get blocked.

An Ultra-HD dual layer blueray disc can hold nearly 100gb of data. It's not especially complex to have a game with 2 physical discs that encompass different parts of the game. They've been doing it since PS1 (FF7 was 4 iirc).

Neutral opinion: any opinion can be popular or unpopular if posed to the right (or wrong) audience

Would you consider editing your original post to reflect that :)

The standard fine for violating the STOCK Act is $200, but the House Committee on Ethics and Senate Select Committee on Ethics have historically waived the fees for many violators.

Meanwhile this fucking criminal turns 50.8% profit on her investments.

And then she has the fucking audacity to sign with her "honourable" title on the disclosure form, as if she has the slightest sense of honor.

Great recipe! I didn't have any cheese so I substituted for peanut butter, and thought some jelly might go good with it too so I added that in as well. My oven only goes to 1500 so I put it in the freezer instead.

It's difficult to take anything Rubio is saying seriously (I mean who would anyway, he's a Florida Republican) after his very likely deliberate choice in rhetoric calling them "Pro Abortion" rather than acknowledging a woman's choice to control her own body.

Apt username, Problematic Consumer.

Meta is cancer. You don't let cancer grow and see if it ends up maybe causing issues or killing you. You cut every trace of it out as soon as it's detected.

Meta has never done anything to show it is a corporation that acts in good faith. In fact it has proven time and time again it is actively acting in bad faith, against people, community, and privacy interests in order to drive profit with no regard for anything else.

Kill the cancer before it kills you.

GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY

I mean really, who isn't looking forward to the weekend, weekend

Exactly my reaction as well. The only 'benefit' she lists that I can truly see is 'greater visibility into the code everyone else is working on' but frankly that seems like it could be a burden as well.

Sometimes you don't need to know. If your team organizes it's projects and assignments well, you very well may be able to work on your small piece and integrate it without really needing to know every little thing every other person is working on.

With frequent commits branches just seem like an easier way to resolve conflicts as well as speed up the ability for others to test and merge their changes while you can resolve issues with a build.

It's a lot easier to shovel a foot of snow thrice than it is to shovel 3 feet of snow that's compacted, melted down a bit, formed a freezing layer on top and ice on the bottom, and now your shovel is broke because you were trying to pry up that ice with 60lb of snow on top of it.

But at that point you say fuck it and just pay a guy to swing by with his plow and throw out some salt.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

Also the fact that campaign wasn't even available on launch. I was pretty excited for some co-op campaign but never even went back after they implemented it months later.

Are you sure they weren't just a Russian official? I hear windows are pretty dangerous there.

Every instance owner should be looking to sign this. Every time you see Meta bullshit posted, please repost this. Also idk how to tag people and I know he's super busy as of late but calling on Ruud@lemmy.world to get on board with this as well. With the ever growing size of his community it is his responsibility to help us protect the Fediverse.

Yes, submit a GDPR/CCPA (Reddit is in California, so they are legally required to serve these request to anyone 'protected' by US laws) request. It's expensive and time consuming for them. It should also help you confirm if all of your data has actually been deleted. They have 30 days to comply with the request.

My plan is, one I get my data and confirm everything is deleted, to submit another request if any data was found and will repeat this until all of the data is gone. Only then will I finally submit one more out of spite followed by immediately deleting the account. Honestly not sure how that will affect them processing it but I'd imagine it should then indeed confirm the account itself is 'deleted'.

If it were the latter she could have still enjoyed live performances (assuming those people were good musicians playing in a good venue) but yeah sounds like she just didn't like music. Which, to me, is crazy. When people say they don't really listen to or don't like music, I literally can't even imagine what that's like. There is so much diversity in music, especially now. Playing instruments has been a part of human history for at least 40,000 years and we've been singing as long as we've had vocal cords.

My electric kettle is almost always on. One with stay warm function and temperature control is great to accommodate the different temps I may want for various teas or coffee. It's also useful for speeding up cooking when I need to get a pot of water boiling.

I can't necessarily recommend a specific one though, my old gooseneck spout kettle was great for pouring but the screws holding the handle in place rusted out and the plastic clips broke. My current one is insolated to help stay warm longer which is nice but the plastic lid has begun deteriorating. The only advice I could really offer is find something with as little plastic as possible in it's construction, especially where it may touch water or steam.

"We have investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong."

It's a good thing Texas is on its own non-federally regulated energy grid or someone might have lost a few dollars spending money to weatherize and properly maintaining it.

But its not like they could have known after it failed in 2011 that not bothering to address the issues causing those failures for a decade would leave it susceptible to another failure. It's obviously the customers fault for relying on the system to keep their families warm in freezing temperatures and not booking a flight to Cancun to escape the 'once in a lifetime weather event' that Texas has seen several times in fractions of a lifetime.

When someone comes and murders your children in their school, WITH GUNS, and the governor barely responds with anything but thoughts and prayers, and you and the rest of your murdered children town vote thoughts and prayers guy back in, it's a pretty good reflection of how the town as a whole feels about guns. You like them. Since the children weren't still in the womb it's okay if they're getting murdered. At school. With guns.

Ah, yes, the only group that that is enlightened to the dangers of the authoritarian right, the authoritarian left.

Sorry, not looking for a partner at this time.

The real question is will Republicans do anything about it.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahajaha lololol0101010!!!

Or were you serious? In which case, refer to the above line a few more times.

They're all busy trying to figure out how to get their own piece, fucking scumbags. Even if any of them did have a shred of integrity, they wouldn't dare go against the cult.
