Does OSM have any bullet vending machines?

Even if it says “licence” or whatever then I’d still not be fine with it not being permanent. The language isn’t the problem
- Comment on Turkish government just blocked access to YouTube after a terrorist attack - but the Vivaldi browser on my desktop still connects? 4 weeks ago:
All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.
I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.
I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.
I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now

I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls, which is widely supported at this point, and it’s what what all my browsers are using (and also doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off).

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional

Isn’t this an actual thing? Pretty sure I was told by some instructor not to use references older than a decade or two old. Unless the subject is very elementary older sources are more likely to be obsolete
- Comment on PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off 1 month ago:
On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:
-
Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:

I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:
Image -
So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!
Image -
I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:

Thankfully lemmy is immune to such corporate bs

No lemmy-chan not you too!

It’s upsetting how news outlets can now call anything an ad to generate outrage and people here just eat it up. Something about that word seems to turn people’s brains off and they start commenting misinformation.
This is:
A feature to show you news from the game you’re about to play.
Badly designed since it can’t be turned off and it covers the entire screen.
Prone to abuse for ads.This is not:
An ad.
A money making venture by sony. Unique to playstation. - Comment on Time Crisis Is Returning With A New AI Powered Gun That Works On Modern TVs | Retro Dodo 1 month ago:
It’s using ai image recognition and I doubt it’s the world’s first to do so.
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
Who’s being exploited? It’s not like the app hides its true nature until you pay. People are upset at the idea of paying it something they don’t want to but that’s a completely imaginary scenario, those who think it’s good will pay for it and those who don’t won’t. I don’t think that justifies calling the guy names and assuming how he must’ve become (or has always been) a bad person.
I’ve no idea what you mean by legitimacy of YouTube, but if you think things like this hurt it wouldn’t it help to not have a big outrage that makes it reach even more people? Let it have a quiet death and maybe the media will stop creating these weekly how-dare-you-make-a-bad-product dramas
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
I don’t understand why the internet is unable to say “I don’t like this app, so I won’t pay for it” rather than “I don’t like this app, so you’re a bad person”. Hundreds of people raging and catastrophising over something they never bought or even heard of until now.

Filters will not be going away altogether on Instagram. First-party filters created by Meta will continue to be available.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
I see, I thought routers knew not to do dhcp on the Wan port
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Is there a limit to the number of devices allowed to connect that this rule is trying to enforce?
Either way, if the vr headset doesn’t need internet connection you could connect your computer to the internet wirelessly and to your own router via cable for vr.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
I just saw you specified if it’s configured for pass through.
I didn’t, that’s just bad grammar. Edited the comment
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
I don’t know much about networking but that page seems to be about someone else setting up a dhcp server without the knowledge of the administrators or the users. In op’s case the concerns about mitm attacks don’t apply and the other concerns sound like problems that could arise in cases of misconfiguration. I also couldn’t see anything about it affecting the main network’s performance
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Why does the dhcp on the router affect the main network? I’d think that way it only needs to deal with the router, as opposed to all the devices connected to the router if it’s passthrough?

Me too! Like, are people just skipping all the cutscenes and dialogue? Following playthrough guides? Is there selection bias somehow?
- Comment on Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel 3 months ago:
I would think the camera bar would make holding the phone easier, is that not the case? I have a note 20 ultra and I find cases with horizontal camera cover sliders significantly more comfortable to hold than those that try to make the camera bump less noticeable
- Comment on Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel 3 months ago:
Wow those camera bumps look so ugly. They had a nice look in the previous generations

How about phones? Surely Samsung would put their own new battery tech in their own phones right?

- Comment on Leaked Cellebrite Tool Docs Reveal List of Phones That Can Be Unlocked 3 months ago:
The specifics of how the encryption works is irrelevant to this argument
I’m not claiming iPhones are superior
If it’s not the “Apple’s” and also not the “hardware based encryption”, what’s the argument then? As you pointed it out FBI only needed apple’s help since they didn’t have a working exploit and dropped it once a new one was found. In the latest case with android once again their existing tools didn’t work but cellibrite had an unreleased one ready to use, so they didn’t need to go to court in the meantime.

Mfw Samsung on android 6 is the most secure 😮. Wonder if it has something to do with the mid boot password option that was around
