I do not like Iran or their government, but I do find it funny that it seems everything they are doing is specifically designed to piss off Trump and Netanyahu. Trump’s biggest weakness is that he’s an idiot and Iran is fully taking advantage of it. Eventually they’ll just let everyone in the world through except the US and Israel.

Taxes are cool when they work properly. The problem with taxes right now is that we’re not really getting much benefit for what we pay and those that have the most are not paying their fair share. Not only that, a large portion of our tax money is going directly to those companies that refuse to pay taxes.

How about at a random interval once every couple months it will ask you to draw a picture of a cat in the browser and if it finds your drawing process too similar or the image too similar to one that’s already in the database it will flag it without telling you. Three strikes and your out kinda rule. It’s like drug tests but for the internet.

Even if you did, like, a line across the screen to save time there’s no way in hell it’d be the same as anything else in that database unless you are extremely unlucky.

There are so many ways to do human verification that have worked for years. The biggest reason bots are plaguing the internet is because these corpos don’t really try anymore. There’s literally no reason to do face scans or IDs other than to unanonymize people and take their data.

That’s fucking hilarious lol

Because more people care about porn than open source software.

Whenever I see those I’m always stuck between “girl you need some chill” and “yeah, get it girl!”

She’s livin’ her truth though so I gotta respect it.

Yes, but they will also hold your bank account. Which for me would be a net positive so maybe you’re right lmao

Pretty sure all the people praising this don’t realise this, hence my comment.

Datacenters are not just for AI.

This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.

ETA: Added some words.

I used to pay for premium a couple years ago because I still wanted to support the creators I watched, but ever since they started implementing AI everywhere and stealing peoples videos for training data I figured Google doesn’t deserve my money no matter how small. I’d much rather watch with uBlock and spend that $20 I used to spend on YouTube Premium on the various YouTubers Patreons.

My guess is that the IP got flagged. In my personal experience, around 70% of VPN servers in California don’t let me post on Lemmy for some reason so I just avoid that area entirely at this point. Unfortunately, shitty people use VPNs to do shitty things too.

Believe it or not, crack heads need cars too. You can’t go fucking anywhere in this country without a car.

Lol no he gave me $900 and we went our seperate ways. Pretty standard, honestly.

I sold my old car to a crackhead. He had way more chill than any kind of AI surveillance.

Bro we just wanna own the things we bought and paid for. You’re not making a good argument here, Microslop.

It’s okay I still love you. <3

Am I missing something or just dumb? I did the math and 10! came out to 6 weeks exactly…
