Why would a 302 temporary redirects for engramma.dev → app.engramma.dev be classified as “Social engineering content”?

Double the twists, half the surface area

IMO, Lina Khan was maybe the best appointment of the Biden presidency and as FTC chair, pushed hard for consumers, even for unlikely winnable battles. Unfortunately the click-to-cancel ^[1] rule was struck down by the Court of Appeals, but I think if she were still in that position she’d fight the ruling. You’re right that the legislature needs to do their job and formally outlaw these practices, rather than having this be brought up by the FTC and struck down on a procedural matter.

What info are y’all giving away when signing up for a gym membership where it could even go to collections? Is this for an annual contract? If you’re not on a contract and rack up unpaid months, it seems unlikely to me. Especially for a physical business where a late payment of $20 would deny you entry until you pay. I guess states with poor consumer protection laws this can happen if you sign up for a year or more and don’t pay I guess?

Sorry to say but you got scammed. They could have tried to take you to small claims court, but the burden is on them not you. The credit card company sided with you, if they have a problem, then can take it up with Visa or whoever, not you.

Why would you take a credit hit. It seems like once a year, something random comes up in a credit card statement, and requires a dispute. Those aren’t sent to credit agencies AFAIK, although i’ve never been ruled against any, so I’m not 100% about this.

Another situation is multi-episode releases. I remember first encountering this with LOST where the 2h season finale would be listed as two separate episodes, which for a season finale wasn’t too annoying. More recently, later seasons of The Good Place would air two episodes at a time, and that always caused a mess as well that required manual intervention sometimes.

FWIW, Sir is not gender neutral in Gamestop.

How does Lemmy prevent this?

And if you comply with unjust laws, then it’s way harder to challenge them in the courts.

This is one of the most sensible comments in the thread. The law is the problem. This is something which should have been self regulated by websites themselves, but Meta lobbied for laws like this so they wouldn’t have to police it. The law making this mandatory for everyone when this should be a parental control is the issue.

IMO the benefit and curse is you could fork it, maintain it, patch it yourself, etc if you wanted, but then its a full time job keeping it up to date with changes. As others have pointed out, this is a decisive change, so a fork probably wouldn’t be a solo project, but the bifurcation in development would be a large impact, slowing development in other fixes and features.

On three separate occasions over the course of many years, I ran into an issue and searched Stack Overflow for anyone else having the same problem. The approved answer was exactly what I needed, and went to go hit the upvote button, only to realize I can’t upvote it because I was the author of the answer.

Agreed, but without showing it, it would be extremely confusing to the audience. After watching the extended scene, it would have been really bad if they left that all in. Plus the scene is funny with the eddie van halen tape, and also uses the contents of Doc’s luggage with the hair dryer for another gag.

I watched the broadcast TV show leading up to the movie, and the behind the scene of how they pulled off Museum Heist was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to watch the movie.

FWIW, Brave still supports manifest v2 and the full version of uBlock Origin. Chrome has uBO Lite since they only have manifest v3 now. Firefox and LibreWolf don’t have to deal with this, and still support the real uBlock Origin. I’m not sure what exactly Brave “shield” is doing, but I think if you use EFF’s privacy badger on Firefox and block third party cookies, you are getting the same thing.

ok

Thank you, not sure why OP didn’t cross-post the original post here?

This is how the scene was in the final cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHZctSnNrsw

Well the author is cited as AFP and had many articles posted today, so seems like it’s this newswire service? This seems like it’s written as a transcript for a segment on NPR. It could be that if it was written by an AI, that it was trained on those transcripts from news segments? Also possibly this was an actual audio segment and that was lost as it was posted to this news website. If you read transcripts of segments that aired on NPR, they feel the same way. It makes more sense when you hear the segment and the multiple speakers and interviews, but without that context, it reads oddly.
