He sounds a bit like those advocates that say only Russian/Chinese/Saudi Arabian news are telling the truth, when it is all state controlled outlets.

Funny that they want you to allow all java scripts but then criticise first party scripts for being unsave.

I bet [insert random autocrat here] would approve of that message.

I can't believe they killed reddit for AI bots.

Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks ( apnews.com )

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

It looks cheap, even from that angle. Maybe especially from that angle because it highlights all the out of place looking plastic parts.

vxx ,

You would assume we have wipers down after decades without failure.

Wipers often are the only moving part still working after a car totalled.

You don't need much content or many comments to achieve the goal, when you have thousands of votes behind it for the good placement.

You may only need a couple hundred though. Reddit's algorithm is particularly broken and once a post is on hot it's unstoppabe.

So you admit you're only reading headlines and base your opinion on it?

Did the thought cross your mind that all the billion dollar companies behind for-profit browsers might have an interest in Firefox failing?

I fully agree, but doesn't this argument go the other way as well, when children grow up to Hamas attacking cities since decades?

vxx ,

So how to break the cycle?

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

If there really is a cosmic web and information flows through it, the other solar system will know that we're coming to destroy another world, but it will have developed defensive techniques against a known disease, humans. The same our immune systems does to known viruses.

I went a bit creative with this one.

I still unfortunately order things from Amazon for the convenience

It turned out that it's incredible easy to order as guest at other sides

Did I understand that correct that applicants would have to tell their real name?

vxx ,

That's what made me wonder. Do they just assume applicants use their real name on social media, and when they don't find anything online the person seems sus?

Do they ask for a police record like companies here would do sometimes?

I'm not familiar with that term unless you work with critical infrastructure and such, so I assumed they might just want to see some online behaviour from the past years with some proof that applicants have experience as admins.

Wow, it's the same for Mozilla VPN (Mulvulla) which doesn't even pretent you're from a different country.

vxx , (edited )

It seems to me like they blocked all VPN users.

I have the same experience on Mozilla VPN and I didn't use reddit for a year.

Edit: It
let's me through when I log into my old account.

I would even pay the 11,99€, in fact I did in the past. Youtube's algorithms made me stop.

Spotify for example caters to my preferences. It took a bit to train it, but the weekly selection is spot on with lots of a variety, and they don't try to shove pop music or other mainstream stuff into my face.

YouTube tries to suckme into a shit hole of craziness at every turn. It tries to make people dumber.

It was hard work, but a general rule is to like only songs that you could listen every day to, make playlists for everything else.

I don't know any European that would only eat a slice of pizza instead of the whole thing.

vxx , (edited )

I've seen people rolling their whole pizza to eat it like a Lahmacun.

In fact it was only one person but I've seen it quite often because we saw daily.

vxx ,

Polish hazelnut booze is awful. Granted I only know Solpica, but one shot tastes the whole day and maybe longer.

vxx ,

Didn't your cheese production become too clean to produce the legendary holes?

vxx ,

Nope, you deerly underestimate the hunger for pizza over here.

vxx ,

Because Egypt and Jordan reported their numbers.

while declining to explicitly say whether it would come to Taiwan's aid if China attacked.

“You didn’t want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons,” a reporter said to Mr. Biden. “Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?”

“Yes,” Mr. Biden answered flatly.

“You are?” the reporter followed up.

“That’s the commitment we made,” he said.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/23/world/asia/biden-taiwan-china.html

Sounds more like someone came to their senses but tries to save face....hopefully. You never know if this is just a strategic move to make others believe they won't attack.

“And this is what he said. He said, ‘Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’ I said, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’”

Eric is denying now that he ever said that.

Most electronics Tests are garbage and set by advertising volume. That's why Samsung is always best, they put a lot of money into these outlets.

I know someone that built his own electronics and every time he tried to get them tested, he was asked how much he's going to advertise to get an excellent test.

You get what you pay for, even in China. It's not the design that is to blame, it's the quality of material and manufacturing.

I don't even turn my washing machine on when I'm not at home and awake.
