The concept of having third party “trusted” attesters just screams abuse, corruption, and data selling. What would their business model be? Direct payments from browser companies? Selling “anonymized” data? What if their data security is crap it just ends up being another vector by which leaks and scams can happen? I doubt the average web user is going to understand that all of their data is going to be going thru some man in the middle when they Google something

What about competition? What if attester A has major ties with Microsoft edge and decide to block Firefox users? Or what about smaller third party apps that are made for accessibility reasons? Or hell - what about startups that are trying to enter the market?

The only reason these attesters would be trusted is because the large companies say they are. Theyd be completely at the whims of Google and Microsoft. What a stupid fucking idea with little upside for the end user

ChatGPT is my programming rubber ducky for general stuff

I mean, they could also just match two accounts by ip in the db as well im pretty sure. That would be a pretty simple sql query

Exactly, and I think that there’s even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There’s never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

There’s just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don’t have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone’s eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren’t as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

I still can’t believe that was just completely forgotten about by almost everyone

They’ve been saying mod tools have been coming since the first blackout years ago. It’s fucking ground hogs day everytime mods get pissed

I mean, look at EEE like Microsoft did in the 90s.

Personally, I’m also scared about Linux after Linus dies. They are on a lot of the board as well

I’d also worry about people who have corporate shit on there. Anyone who uses this as a tool should probably delete their chats and change their password, even if you don’t have anything proprietary or ground breaking in there just as a precaution

What about the nb verse though?

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

Anything regarding pc building is f-u-c-k fucked rn. Trying to gets some finer info on bios settings yesterday was a few steps harder than it normally is lol

I believe the judge actually said something to the effect of “they chose to live with him still, and consented to the app”

I’m not a lawyer in the slightest, but wouldn’t stuff like that be grounds for a mistrial?

There’s a bug where that isn’t showing up

It won’t be the last time reddit fucks up. And everytime they do, more people will come this way, especially as this place gets better and better

Man, everything is a premium subscription these days. I’m just so done with modern monetization schemes thst nickel and dime. Everything from heated seats in cars to content in games that we’ve already paid for.

Did they ever get around to implementing playlists and autoplay of some sort? I really wanted to get into that service, but the absence of those two things just killed it for me

Same boat. I thought those were something you had to go to somebodies profile to see.

Anytime I saw new reddit I think I blocked it out of my mind entirely, like an eldritch horror

Those recommend gpu reqs are fucking ridiculous lol. If people are getting anything less that 60 with a 6700xt, then m$ and Bethesda fucked up again.

Also, 125gb? What the fuck?

If you’re on desktop, I made a style that uses the Stylus add on help the UI not look like shit
