One more good plugin in this line is Chameleon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext/

How are we supposed to give you feedback if we can’t play the game yet, since it is not released?

Is it biological exploitation for food companies to monopolize on our taste buds?

Yes. Thats the only reason why there is so much sugar in everything. Which is rather unhealthy, but we keep eating it because sugar makes us want it.

I really enjoyed “Veloren”

I once talked with a colleague from the data-analysis field. Apparently the company they work at is somewhat in the legally grey area.

They advised other companies on hiring candidates, by scraping all possible data about them online (which included buying anonymized advertising data and correlating it to all their publically available data and the data from the application). Using that, they claim to predict worker motivation, loyalty, how often they are sick, their political alignment, what their acceptable rate is, if they are going to ask for a raise, how well they work under pressure and much much more.

Since hearing it this has basically become my thread model.

As I am writing this, I realize that it is probably time to delete my Lemmy account and never post here again lol

Honest question, but I couldn’t help but package it sarcastically:

How would you report that? Catch the drone and ask who it’s owner is? Ask the police to do a 100 man wide area search around your house?

There used to be a kickstarter project that wanted to create that, but as a physical clock on the wall.

It was supposed to able to show your daily activities. But the key aspect was a 24h clock and visual presentation of day and night times.

I forgot what it was called.

Edit: found it, it was the life-clock, but there is nearly no matetial online on it nowadays.

My professional computer is given by my company, I don’t have to buy anything for it. I don’t even think IT would allow me to run Linux on it 😅.

For my personal computer I make the choices.

I get a kick from not buying Nvidia

Well, I hate human faces on youtube video thumbnails.

I want to see a preview of the content instead of being biologically exploited into clicking on it.

For anyone who feels the same way: https://dearrow.ajay.app/

I did this a while back for blocking LLMs and there are more methods discussed in that threads comments.

Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:

just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other

Check out Louis Rossman on youtube. Especially his apple hardware design analysis.

• price
• closed ecosystem that funnels you into buying more overpriced hardware
• general feeling of superiority apple customers often seem to aquire

(e.g. my former project lead refused to touch other peoples devices because using them “doesn’t feel like apple, eww”)

Stop blaming it on some nonexistent cultural phenomenon.

People are capable of recognizing (good or bad) quality aspects of the software they use and the videos they get recommended to watch. And they are free to point out the bad ones as well as the good ones.

But they will have to alter othet elements on the page. For example, scrubbing. It will either have to be paused at one specific timestamp while the ad is playing or the ad would have to be incorporated into the length of the video.

In either case, it is detectable.

The video chunks hash can be calculated and then blocked, in a crowdsourced way like with sponsorblock (but way more effective, because it will cover all videos)

Spoiler: it will not change his life

I’m pretty sure chatgpt caught mistakes like these for me recently and in the past. Just always slap in all your code into the prompt and tell it what you want the code to do step by step. Like with rubber ducky debugging.

Since the day secure boot became the standard on motherboards, about once every quarter a new research paper popped up, describing a new way to hack or bypass it …

nix has home manager for that, but even then, plasma configs are a huge mess there.

thanks for the reply and your hard work :)
