They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.

Why not? They are doing edge caching, they can literally just block the connection from visiting the site just like they do with their DDoS mitigation.

If Google had built nucler power plants 10-years ago, there would be zero emissions. If California had done it instead there would also be zero-emissions, if the federal government had built nuclear power plants we’d also be at zero emissions. If all anti-nuclear people had killed themselves in 1979 we’d be net negative with emissions.

Practically unlimited demand is fine if the source doesn’t use fossil fuels to begin with, so I don’t see how this is an “AI” problem. It is, of course, a capitalism problem though.

Wireshark is the wrong tool for the job unless you are only interested in the destination IPs, but those are useless to most people because malware and PUPs are hosted on public cloud services or rarely hijacked insecure endpoints, so what value is a source IP going to get you? For example most ‘suspicious’ traffic is from your cell phone and some app is phoning home over TLS, with ‘home’ being an elastic IP in AWS.

Like most things on the internet it’s a game of one-upsmanship. User X uses Firefox with Incognito. User Y say’s that isn’t good enough for his own inconsistent definition of “good enough.”
So User-Y suggests Firefox with 14 different add-ons and only browse through an immutable VM. But then user-z comes along and says that if you are using windows at all, you don’t really care about privacy, so you should be using Icefox on some obscure fork of ubuntu through an immutable VM, with a pi-hole.
Then user-w says well if you aren’t using a VPN none of this matters, so Obviously you need to rent an Alibaba cloud server hosted in China, that you only connect to through a privacy respecting VPN, and then you only browse through TOR.

And so on. By the time a user is asking about how to stop google ads, the only “serious” answer by the community involves using Packet over Ham-radio -> and spending thousands of dollars a month on 4 different cloud providers, rented through several shell companies set up in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and China, while only typing in Esperanto using an ASCII-only font.

What lack of theory does to a mfer.

You really don’t need to be a billionaire to afford crazy internet speeds (if you want them). You can get a 100G port from pretty much any ISP for ~$8k/mo, or even cheaper if you are willing to have a bandwidth cap. Then assuming you really want it, you’d have to pay to get the fiber laid to your home, which can be a few hundred thousand dollars depending on how far away you are. Of course this is ridiculous for home internet, but it is within reach for people that are way poorer then billionaires.

Unpopular opinion: Your kids do not actually have freedom if you’re tracking them.

This is just false, and your definition of ‘freedom’ is nothing but sophistry.

Agreed. My wife and I are both on iOS so there is no need for this feature. Our daughter when she is old enough for a cellphone, would be the one I’d use this for since she can’t turn it off.

This is a useful feature. If you are in an abusive household, then yes you should have as much financial separation as possible. For those that are in a happy and functional family with kids that you want to allow freedom for, this provides a measure of safety if you need it for potential emergency’s or if they aren’t answering the phone or whatever.

Partitioning is one of those obsolete Unixisms that is best left in the 90s. Only exception is dual booting, but even there partitioning isn’t really very important anymore

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

It literally always has been and that fact is why the US even exists.

Sure, but they are radiation sources and beyond microwaves, “nuclear” material exists in several consumer products, so that isn’t really a reason we haven’t had consumer nuclear batteries.

You mean like Microwaves? Or Smoke detectors? Granite countertops etc. Or watches, and Energy Efficient CFLs?

If you are interested in a subject, a video is the worst way to learn about it.

No job/recruiter/interviewer will ever care about what email provider you use.

“YOU NEED A COMPUTER AND DEVELOPER OPTIONS ENABLED FOR THIS TO WORK. DEVELOPER OPTIONS CAN BE ENABLED ON THE PARENT APP.”

So is this just a case where if you have a privileged user i.e. developer options, you can do things like change the time? Maybe i’m misunderstanding the way time-based features work, but surely they can be trivially bypassed by the child in a myriad number of ways if they have privileged access already?

People that have the need to share “personal stories” with basically strangers are looking for an audience first and foremost. Lemmy has way fewer people so the type of person trying to seek that attention will be going to facebook/twitter/reddit etc. If Lemmy was one of the top-ten most used sites, then we’d see a lot more of that kind of content.

I feel like the next time a democracy wants to protect itself from fascism, that the “constitutional” document should dictate what members of the government can and can’t do. And that the punishment for advocating for fascist policies is dismissal from the government forever.

If we took America’s Bill of Rights for example, advocating for laws that are on the surface against one of the amendments should result in that representative being removed from office. If Congress passes a law (not an amendment, but a law) then when that law is declared unconstitutional, they should all be dismissed with prejudice.

The right to privacy should be enshrined and people like her should be removed from office and never given a platform again.

This has always been possible with anything anyone has ever posted publicly before social media. I’m glad sheeple are waking up.

Here is my shocked pikachu face. 😱
