Well, until they decide that a name change is inherently suspicious under these circumstances, and things get even worse.

I agree but there are so many places that demand only SMS 2FA

We seem to have a similar philosophy. Have you found a good way to deal with modifying or selectively disabling things like webpacked js or react?

Extensions are set to auto update by default, and it's not obvious at first how to disable that. It's also disallowed to install an extension you've built from source on most release builds, without messing with a hex editor.

I don't understand it. I do keep an ungoogled chromium install around for the few times when I suspect a site is intentionally breaking itself for firefox, and it's not a big deal to open on occasion. Otherwise, if you value custo

I'd rather have an empty description than a giant wall of LLM-generated text that says nothing useful and that the submitter probably didn't even read.

But... why do you want to look up a coffee shop on google?

If there's anyone who shouldn't be cognitively disengaging, it's young kids. The push to get kids using LLMs is to create permanently dependent future customers.

It's incorrect at a minimum. Reading the source provided: >76,869 British nationals were recorded in the prison population at the end of the first quarter of 2024. The remainder of the population was made up of 10,422 foreign nation

Yeah, stack overflow has recently either added cloudflare or changed its settings, so I am completely unable to access it. I assume I'll pretty much be locked out of the majority of the internet in a couple of years at most.

This is just papering over it individually, but https://github.com/iorate/ublacklist is the only thing that makes searching bearable for me now.

The issue is that their opinions are not wrong but are incomplete. Exactly the things that make "social media" - now equated with "algorithmic engagement-optimized social media" - harmful to teens make it harmful to adul

It's what makes people attribute intelligence to them, and why the manager types like them so much, and why I dislike them so much. And this article made me think it might just be inherent to how they work though, because they are LLMs

You probably get/got reactions to that because it apparently mirrors the corporate line that precedes mandated RTO, whether or not there is a frog-boiling hybrid prelude. Most people prefer remote, but in-office requires bodies to prov

Accepting the 99% figure, 1% is not a particularly small number. That's about 3.5 million people in the US alone. And it becomes much greater when you consider anyone who cares about someone in that 1%.

Yes, it has. Not "tuning out" the news has helped me mitigate significant problems for me personally, which a delay of a couple days would have meant it was too late. I think your word choice ("enjoying living in a perpetuall

As retirees. One explanation could be the lack of free time and resources over the course of their life prevented them from developing themselves enough to have something to do. A small parallel is that (for me) a weekend is not enough to d

Well, I definitely never saw nearly as many emdashes a few years ago. I didn't even realize it wasn't just a typeface quirk as I'd used hyphens a lot. I don't even know how to type an emdash on my devices and would have

A 3-4 second cloudflare wait seems good to me at this point. I had to just block any cloudflare requests because some pages that used it would just rev up a cpu core indefinitely and hang the browser.

Nah, I don't especially like the logo myself when I come across those sites, but I do like that "brand" people who want to make money off it and not pay dislike it even more.

Many of the people in the US behind attempts to ban "pornography" also classify anything involving LGBT people, including children, as pornographic. It's about the specific definition of "pornography" as it will be

Then break them up or shut them down. They can't just continue to knowingly and intentionally induce addiction and engagement for profit and then shrug their shoulders and say "we're too big, it's too hard to stop."

And hundreds of different websites are unusable or borderline so. This is one of the negative effects of JS, but at this point the JS of those times isn't even the worst, because you'd be able to block and modify parts of it to so

Why do you think people refused to enable javascript?

No, you're not. A lot of the web is becoming increasingly unusable for me because of things like this.

It looks like it. There are four images that pop up and start animating numbers, and those aren't visible in the built in reader. I use Tranquility Reader which ime tends to do a bit better, but it still wasn't readable. Looking a

I'm that kind of person, but my opposition to the "digital key" things like this is mainly about them being out of my control and not having the ability to opt out of user-hostile activity. With a digital key, I expect things
