Also I love how all the objectively toxic parts of East Asian culture are suddenly romanticized if it’s Japan or South Korea we’re talking about. Stuff like conservative family dynamics, overbearing work culture, predatory consumer fads, fat shaming and openly commenting on how people look, etc.
Combating artificial intelligence with natural stupidity.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•[Discussion] Which privacy apps / services do you think are most likely US government honeypots?English
14·6 days agoAll of the “delete my information from data brokers” services IMO, especially the ones that advertise on YouTube. Always smelled fishy to me.
Either that or they’re just more data brokers trying to get exclusivity.
Eh, Canada kind of sucks as well. Source: Canadian.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you change the default luggage code from '000' to another code?English
3·9 days agoThree digit combination locks are not that secure in general. Assuming one second per attempt, it takes at most 17 minutes to brute force. 000 would definitely be the first combination most any brute force attacker would try though.
Because lemmy.ml federates with the broader Lemmyverse. So if instances like .world is blocked, that same content is visible on .ml so it’s blocked too.
Defederate from us and we might have a chance.

Lemmy.world, which you log into and is the one that receives your VPN connection, uses Cloudflare in front of their server. So it’s actually Cloudflare that receives your VPN connection. It’s probably giving you that captcha screen which your app can’t display (or being denied entirely). I’m on VPN too and when a link makes me open a .world post it gives me the Cloudflare captcha every time.
Not guaranteed to be this reason but my money’s on it. Try logging into lemmy.world from your browser on the VPN, will help you troubleshoot if it gives nonstandard pages when trying to post or especially when logging in.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What profession do y'all hate with deepest of passionEnglish
26·19 days agoScammer. People don’t think it’s a “profession” in the true sense but it absolutely is. Majority of higher up people in scam call centers or phishing campaigns do it as their day job and they certainly make more money than the average honest worker putting in the same amount of effort.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is a laptop whose display is working no more still of any use ?English
10·19 days agoThe way I see it, it’s basically downgraded to a desktop (assuming it has a separate display output). People use laptops like that as desktops and even home servers all the time.
The two major things to look out for is you probably want to configure it so that closing the lid doesn’t put it to sleep, and if possible, detach the battery and just run it off the charger to prevent the battery from puffing up from being constantly charged.
Hell, detach the screen entirely and you basically have a DIY modern Commodore 64.
A vegan, an atheist, and a veteran walk into a bar. Veteran immediately one-ups the other two by both bragging about how many people he killed and demanding a discount.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Notice Given to Parents: Researchers Wanted Preschool Teachers to Wear Cameras to Record Everything They Saw From a First-Person Perspective, Including The Children They Were Teaching, to Train AI.English
2·23 days agoIMO the ideal for a study is you ask the parent and child separately (so they can’t influence each other), then you “and” the results. So both have to say yes to consent, but one or both saying no is a refusal. I’m not an expert tho so take it with a grain of salt.
It’s bullshit how you can’t just ambush the king and win the game. In fact you can’t capture the king at all? What kind of stupid battle is this?

The world is not black and white but all three are very far on the white side. “Centrist” is one of the biggest misnomers of all time. Truly left wing parties don’t exist in the West so our “centre” is nowhere near the centre.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Notice Given to Parents: Researchers Wanted Preschool Teachers to Wear Cameras to Record Everything They Saw From a First-Person Perspective, Including The Children They Were Teaching, to Train AI.English
5·24 days agoIt’s honestly bullshit how every study on children only asks the parents for permission and not also, you know, the actual test subjects.
Children don’t have the mental capacity to consent but they sure as hell have the mental capacity to refuse. A preschooler is more than old enough to know what they don’t want.
