  Another side is that you’re also bound to their agreement. If the law firm was too soft on them, tough luck.

  In an ideal world, we’d have government agencies prosecuting illegal stuff (and putting huge fines back into the economy) instead of hoping that private law firms will do a class action, but oh well.

  Is the odometer not recorded when having yearly inspections? Or do people cheat it before those as well?

  Cloudflare doesn’t really have a straightforward way as an end-user to see detailed information about their blocks and such. But I’d recommend checking your IP on Project Honeypot, CF utilizes such lists for some of their WAF stuff.

  It’s maybe some kind of circular logic, but my brain doesn’t recognize a picture of Satya Nadella = “Microsoft’s CEO” for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Long boi⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many think that Windhund/vinthund is referring to wind (sighthounds are fast), but it’s most likely folk etymology. It’s believed the name most likely originated in lower German from the Wends - as sighthounds were mainly known from that region at the time.

  I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.

  How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did sites end up making money from API restrictions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know all the numbers, but the point isn’t to make money from people paying for API access, but to force people to use their official applications – which meets their goals of farming more data/advertising money/engagement/whatever.

  Haven’t Debian and most other distros stopped supporting “i386” for quite a while now? I remember reading something like that, but they still have 32-bit isos up.

  I don’t abuse alcohol. I love alcohol, so why would I abuse it?

  That probably wouldn’t pass the float test though, right? I wouldn’t risk it after that long, but I’m glad you didn’t get sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK, that on most smartphones, if you press the power button 5 (or more) times in quick succession, you can quickly call emergency services.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  an approximate location based on cell tower triangulation (which is kind of hit or miss, sometimes it’s really accurate, other times it’s basically useless)

  I thought it was some kind of law that newer phones have to send accurate GPS coordinates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The USDA’s website says that eggs are “washed and refrigerated in Canada, Japan, and Scandinavia”, but that’s a lie regarding Scandinavia in any case (I’m an egg enthusiast btw)… so I wouldn’t be surprised they’re lying about Japan as well.

  It was already difficult enough to undo bra hooks, but now you can watch 6 unskipable ads instead and it’ll release itself automatically. Much profit indeed.
