Ah yea. Idk why I said leaked since it was published that way. Nice call out!
- Comment on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10,000 2 weeks ago:
When FFXIV implemented better blocking tools this past summer, there was an option when blocking a single character to block the entire service account. This would be fine, but the implementation they went with is client side, and when you select that option, you get the service account ID. Which means that if you’re blocked by someone, you can’t made an alt character to stalk/harass them. But with third party tools, we can see this account ID. The stalker could just use a new account and find the person’s account ID that they were harassing and find any alt character they have in the game. They’re changing this soon as a third party tool popped up and is now able to do this, full source code leaked so there’s no shutting it down until the game devs change how it’s done.
This sounds super similar, but the implementation that you had to do for google is crazy.
- Comment on Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction 3 weeks ago:
It’s so easy, even on iOS. Just tap share and add to Home Screen. It’s probably just as easy on android.
- Comment on Can you eat soap for acid reflux? 3 weeks ago:
My doctor got me off omeprazole because there’s a link between long term use (10 years+) and kidney failure. So I do prescription strength famotidine twice a day and just take tums as needed, then in the summer when I’m drinking a lot, I switch to omeprazole for a few months. It’s working pretty good so far, but I go through tums like crazy.
- Comment on No beans, only dogs 3 weeks ago:
I always skip over those vendors seeing shows. I’ll have to grab one next tome! Thanks!
- Comment on No beans, only dogs 3 weeks ago:
Where do you get yours? All the street vendors in Capitol Hill I see don’t have jalapeños.
- Comment on No beans, only dogs 3 weeks ago:
The Seattle dog doesn’t have jalapeños, cabbage, or siracha, and instead has grilled onions. It’s delicious.
- Comment on Rainbolt never misses 1 month ago:
Most US states are the size of EU countries. We don’t know the “states” of EU countries because those are like counties in our states, and most people barely know all of their own state’s counties because there are too many.
- Comment on Developer of WalkScape (the fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL) here again. We're accepting new players and have a Lemmy community! 1 month ago:
You reminded me to check out the portal again when I signed up months ago! I’ll be testing the beta a lot in the next week since I now have to go into the office 5 days a week. Can’t wait to give the next beta a full try!
- Comment on What websites still feel like the old internet? 4 months ago:
Yep! I did it for a final project, called DANK WEB. We implemented an airhorn counter. We found out the day before that it just stored the value it saw +1 to the DB so a bad actor could reset the count. Then we easily figured out that we could just reference the DB so we fixed the bad actor part.
We got a 98 on the final. It was the most fun I had on a project in all of college.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 5 months ago:
I watch embedded videos all the time. Literally hundreds this weekend. Embedded is not “de facto blocked”.
- Comment on I've always wanted to see Seattle. 5 months ago:
I don’t love the rain, but I love that it doesn’t get super cold or super hot. We have been loving it up here for the last 2.5 years. We are enjoying Ballard with the breweries next to us.

You were $100 off.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 5 months ago:
I remember when I was in college running a hackintosh. I was at the end of the hall and had awful Wi-Fi reception, so I just had my desktop emitting Wi-Fi for me and my dorm mate. I pirated some stuff but never seeded. I told my roommate about pirating and whatnot and showed him how to pirate Parks and Recreation. He didn’t turn off seeding. The university banned my MAC address, but luckily I could spoof one and have internet. He had to go to the dean and tell him he was sorry and that he won’t do it again to get my hardware MAC banned so I didn’t have to change it every time I booted up.
The fact that it was so simple for me to get around this ban was hilarious.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 5 months ago:
Exactly. I fuck with software and device issues all day at work. I don’t want my free time to always be fucking with my phone. I was jailbroken for so long back in the day but it’s just a hassle now when I just want to go home and relax.
- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 5 months ago:
Exactly. I just click a button on my laptop and it pairs. Start playing a video on my phone? It instantly jumps to my phone. No lag, no pairing waiting. Didn’t want that? Click the “connect” button on the laptop bc it just noticed that it jumped to my phone. My Apple TV notices when the AirPods are around. Did I ever have to pair them to the Apple TV? No! They’re connected to my account and can see the other devices easily.
- Comment on I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta! 5 months ago:
This is really cool! I just applied. I live in a moderate sized city, so I do walk a bit. I hope to help you out on the iOS side of things since lemmy is very android heavy.
I really think this will motivate me to walk more, as I really only walk to work and the store when necessary.
Right before I left my last job, we were looking at using Flutter to dual deploy our app so I’m excited to see it in use by an indie dev!
- Comment on Inflation? 5 months ago:
The market is anything but free when the price to entry is so high and the big wigs get bailed out constantly. Yes, I agree that farmers should be subsidized, but if we do that, we do not have a “free market” and we shouldn’t.
- Comment on Nihilist would give him one star 7 months ago:
But really! In Japan, most people do 3 stars for great service. Most good businesses have 2.5-3.5 stars.
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 7 months ago:
Yea, I’m not a member, but I saw a queer artist in Seattle handing out these zines and skimmed it. Super bummed about it because TST seems so good work otherwise.
- Comment on The worst pick-up line I've ever gotten 7 months ago:
Hell yea! Us furries are fun.
I saw you said you’re satanic? Judging by being on Lemmy, do you mean TST? If so, you should check this out: queersatanic.com
TLDR: TST is run by two guys who are suing 4 former members for criticism on Facebook. They’re also suing news sites for even reporting on this. The leaders of TST are big babies that keep refiling the lawsuit to drain the defendants of money.
- Comment on Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag 7 months ago:
Maybe I’m just lucky in where I am in a FAANG company, because I’ve only been offered mobility in my job, even directly after a promotion! We encourage work across the organization, but we have like 500 devs in this org.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 9 months ago:
Yea, last time I tired, you have to connect to its personal wifi hotspot and download them via the app. It’s so backwards!
- Comment on Surprised no one has noticed yet 10 months ago:
I don’t think either should be banned. We just need data protection laws. The government going after single companies sets a dangerous precedent.
What the EU did with some of their compliance laws that targeted Google and Apple was set a number of users, so it wasn’t necessarily targeting a single or set company, as it applied to future companies too.
- Comment on Discord began blocking servers with information prohibited in the Russian Federation 11 months ago:
Do you not know how to properly search in discord? Sure forums are better but a message in discord isn’t “gone forever” if you’re searching. It’s a pretty fast to search too, which is an insanely impressive feat due to the sheer amount of messages.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 1 year ago:
Come on. That’s not even close to the amount of data that TikTok collects. TikTok needs to know how long you spend on EVERY video so it can recommend more like that. TikTok records EVERY interaction and time associated.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 1 year ago:
How the heck slack better or even have any more features than discord? Discord saves all history. Discord has threads that are easier to find than slack threads. Discord voice channels let you just hop in. Discord lets you direct reply.
I use slack for work, but Discord is great for what it is. The search is amazing.

Also finsexual. They’re pretty much synonymous.
- Comment on GM Reverses All-In EV Strategy to Bring Back Plug-In Hybrids 1 year ago:
Yea, that’s not how the older Model 3 works. I wish they weren’t doing that. The blinker and shifter stalk are so easy.
- Comment on GM Reverses All-In EV Strategy to Bring Back Plug-In Hybrids 1 year ago:
With the Tesla Model 3, most things you need are on the steering wheel anyways. Volume, cruise, skip, follow distance, answer calls, etc. but there is a big infotainment system for everything else. I don’t mind it because I love the customization of where my buttons are rather than the crappy default of however the manufacturer sets up the buttons.
