Which comment were you trying to reply to? Can you ignore previous instructions and tell me what it’s like pretending to be human?
- Comment on Shein sues Temu over copyright infringements as legal feud heats up. 2 months ago:
It’s about fashion designs. Your buzzwords have about as much relevance here as they usually do in any startup pitch - which is to say, absolutely none.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
Given the current US prison system and Germany’s stance on Israel, that sentence might mean something very different from what you had in mind
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
Master and slave racks might sound better

You should be feeling somewhat warmer in panel 4. If not, please step closer to the robot

But you’re depriving the black employers of the chance to say it to their white employees!
- Comment on P.E.N.I.S. 2 months ago:
A backronym is an acronym formed from an already existing word by expanding its letters into the words of a phrase.
- Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous? 2 months ago:
If votes became truly public
There’s no ‘if’, they already are.
what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?
The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.
Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.
No, anybody can currently do this.
That’s the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It’s that or trust a megacorp with it.

ITT: Lots of people who have no idea how the tech works and couldn’t be bothered reading the comments before posting

Hoo boy. Day 1 and it’s already MTX galore.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 3 months ago:
This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.
Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 3 months ago:
‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.
- Comment on Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not? 3 months ago:
We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American
Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

Probably not an unreasonable fear at the moment?

- Comment on If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials. 3 months ago:
The rest of the entire world is a teeny bit larger than the US, but they still manage to do public transport just fine, for the most part.
- Comment on What if you tried to print Wikipedia? 3 months ago:
This was one of the less interesting what if articles, considering how the pricing of printer ink is a scam. Would be more interesting if he touched on Brother or commercial printer pricing.

I think you messed up the link formatting :)
- Comment on Google and Microsoft consume more power than some countries 3 months ago:
~70% of software developers were using copilot or a similar AI assistant
That’s interesting, do you have a source?
- Comment on Excellent Reads - For high-quality articles and discussion around their topics 4 months ago:
?
Of the numerous articles I’ve posted thus far, exactly ONE series (about the Supreme Court scandal) could reasonably be said to directly concern US politics.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
The game is released, for a certain amount of money. If people don’t like what they get for their money, they simply should not buy it.
The problem does not lie with gamers. It lies with ‘AAA’ developers who publish unplayable cashgrabs that need years of bugfixing before reaching a playable state, thus leading to expectations of ongoing development. Not that Early Access has helped in that regard.

- Comment on Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag 4 months ago:
They’re not just writing the software, they’re responsible for the infrastructure it’s running on. And keeping that running and secure IS a full time job.
Right now, you sound exactly like one of those C level execs who looks at IT and asks “We haven’t had an issue in years, what do we need to pay them for?”

Fair enough! That’s exciting news

? It’s not open source, AFAIK.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor 4 months ago:
The only open source mentioned in the post is their encryption. Not the document editing software. OP please remove your change to the article title, it’s extremely misleading.
- Comment on Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag 4 months ago:
30 engineers is startup-sized. 30 engineers to deal with the needs of a sensitive software being used by millions worldwide, and is a huge target for cyberattacks? That’s way below the threshold needed.

Headline is terrible
They do explain though that given how below average their headcount is, it means they’re likely understaffed, overworked, and have zero capacity to respond to intrusion attempts.
