letsgo , to Technology in The new Chinese owner of the popular Polyfill JS project injects malware into more than 100 thousand sites

What rules can we add that solve this problem? (I've tried DDG but didn't find any results)

letsgo , to Technology in Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission

"fictional AI CP" isn't a thing. AI is trained on existing data. It does not create new stuff. If you want AI to generate CP then you have to train it on CP.

letsgo , to Superbowl in Medieval owl scale

I had eggs for breakfast so probably 1.

letsgo , to Reddit in Thoughts on the self promotion rules that many Reddit subs have?

I think it's fair enough. If they accept your spam then they have to accept everyone else's spam too. No it doesn't make any difference that your stuff is free. Reddit subs are usually for discussion not marketing; there are channels to spunk your adverts down and you should use those instead of trying to insert them into discussions. No it doesn't make any difference that your free stuff means you don't have a marketing budget. We all know today's free stuff is tomorrow's subscription stuff, and yeah I can already see you're about to scream at me that you don't ever intend for that to happen. But the simple fact is if your stuff takes off then you're going to have to make more time for it but free stuff isn't going to pay your bills and you're going to have to start raising cash one way or another.

What you should be doing is to continue being a positive contributor, and put your promo stuff on your "about me" page. Anyone who is interested enough in you will look at your profile, see your stuff and maybe then consider engaging with your products.

Forget the 10% ratio, remember the rule NO MARKETING, and then everyone will be your friend again. The 10% rule is not intended to say "you can spam this much and no more", it's to allow people to talk about actual products they like (that others have made) and point to them without those pointers being misconstrued as promotion.

"...votes..." No, the rules are for preventing spam, the voting is to highlight high quality posts over the low quality stuff.

"...billionaires..." What an odd strawman. Business of all sizes from freebie shops like yours up to Microsoft are NOT ALLOWED TO SPAM chatrooms. You're likely to see more stuff about billionaire businesses simply because they're bigger, not because they have some privilege you don't.

I mean come on, there are enough fucking adverts everywhere without discussion groups being full of that shite too. Advertise in advert channels. Chat in chat channels. Don't mix the two. Of course you're proud of the stuff you've made and that's a good thing, but there is a time and a place for promoting it and that place is NOT a discussion group.

letsgo , to Technology in Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”

I had the misfortune to have to share an office with a bunch of sales morons. I can recommend Bose idiot-cancelling headphones. What a bunch of selfish noisy fuckwombles.

letsgo , to memes in And it just seemed like any other show.

That's actually quite an interesting approach and I wonder what the limits of implications are.

Could we for example imply that Bo and Luke are not only shagging Daisy and each other, but in addition have raped and/or murdered numerous other people? Could we imply they've lynched anyone? If we can, what else could we infer? If not, why not? What limit did we exceed?

Or could we go the other way and imply that they do lots of anti-racism stuff offscreen and that they're using Confederate symbology and names not to glorify it but to mock it? And that they are therefore non-racist and (with additional implications) non-incestuous?

Since one aspect of racism is ascribing negative traits to a particular people group regardless of any evidence that those traits are true (like for example the English thinking of Irish people as stupid, although for the most part I don't think we do that any more), could ascribing incest and racism to citizens of southern states in itself be racist?

letsgo , to memes in And it just seemed like any other show.

What about the incest?

letsgo , to memes in And it just seemed like any other show.

Non-Yank here. Enjoyed and still do TDOH. Names like "General Lee" and "Jefferson Davis Hogg" are meaningless to me, except as they appeared in the show, and the car could equally have been called Lieutenant Bob or Sergeant Pete. The flag on top of the car was just a fancy design.

If at all possible could you consider this an educational NSQ? Please?

So aside from the use of those symbols and specific names, where exactly - with reference to timestamps and episode numbers - are the racism and incest?

Are you assuming that just because Bo and Luke were frequently within 100 yards of Daisy that they must automatically be shagging her off camera? In which case it's a gay show too because for exactly the same reason Bo and Luke must be shagging each other.

And I have no idea why you think it's loaded with hate crimes. Please refer to a specific instance so that I can understand.

letsgo , to Fuck Cars in This is my reason for joining "Fuck Cars"

Those two vehicles are different. The one behind carries more people, can tow greater weight and with the right tyres probably has better capabilities off-road and in poor weather (floods and snow, for example). If the owner only needed it for the boot space then they'd be daft to get the bigger one (and probably wouldn't, due to fuel efficiency) but how does anyone here know what the owners need them for? Judging by looks is rather passé these days isn't it?

letsgo , to Technology in Mozilla defies Kremlin, restores banned Firefox add-ons in Russia

Heh, I wonder how the ml tankies are spinning this one and what browser they're going to use instead of Nazifox or whatever stupid name they're using for it now.

letsgo , to memes in guess I'll die

So which non-capitalist country/countries allow disabled and economically inactive people to migrate there for free healthcare?

letsgo , to memes in The latest Ads

Oi I'm not wiping my manly butthole with those pink girly wipes. That'd be GAY or probably something equally incoherent.

letsgo , to memes in Beethoven's 9th Symphony

If that's not how it works then why is his 3rd symphony three times as long as his 1st?

letsgo , to Technology in A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back

I doubt the majority of MS users need to tail a log file. And of those of us that do, how many don't know that Notepad++ does it?

letsgo , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Why Do You Pirate Music?

Because back when the only way to listen to new music was to buy it, then find out a load of it was absolute tripe, then not be able to take it back.

So fuck 'em. I download first, then if I like it I buy it. There's quite a few CDs on my shelf that I first pirated. And no CDs that are full of lame filler shite.
