Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

I think we’re far past caring about a website logging an IP address.

- Comment on Can Twitter X control journalists and politicians? The shocking revelation from Musk's Italian trustee gives pause for thought 1 week ago:
I’m not familiar with the Italian politicians and their rank in government but it seems normal that a government could collaborate with a platform like X to deanonamize users.
X can track its users. Why anyone thinks they have “privacy” on an app like that is beyond me. The threat to democracy is real but it comes from Xs power to boost/censor to control the narrative which the writer does touch on.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this
It depends on your instance. There are 3 main tankie instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml my instance blocks the first two but allows the last. This is because ML users are generally not obnoxious and keep their politics within their instances while the other two run wild all over other instances. Personally I dont feel like ML users are that bad. There is right wing lemmy instances but Majority of the instances de federated from them over their disgusting views. I think lemmy does a good job and has the infrastructure in place to promote a healthy range of political views.

Whats the complaint? Which community did you post this to? If it was posted to a community on lemmy.ml then its fair for them to remove the post, its their instance and they dont care about these posts. If this was reddit you’d have no where else to go. At least with Lemmy you can post to a community on a sane instance.
Lemmy ML dont like the post because they are in favor of the government snatching people off the street without due process.

- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 1 week ago:
If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 1 week ago:
Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.
So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.
- Comment on Why Anthropic’s Claude still hasn’t beaten Pokémon 1 week ago:
Claude frequently finds itself pointlessly revisiting completed towns, getting stuck in blind corners of the map for extended periods, or fruitlessly talking to the same unhelpful NPC over and over, to cite just a few examples of distinctly sub-human in-game performance.
Claude is just like me fr

Duckduckgo is actually really good. Everyone ive shown it to has complained about the search results in the first few days then months later they say its so much better. Bangs are such a good feature.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 week ago:
Yeah but thats 50% on a bell curve. So think of the average person and that represents 68% of the population. Going 1 standard deviation lower 13% then lower is 2%. Numbers here are generalised*
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 week ago:
Even if an ai has access to more facts and information you should feel confident in your human ability to reason through the data you do know, search new information and process it in the context.
If you think an ai does all this better than you then you need to try harder.

- Comment on Windows 11 will soon let you know why your PC hardware sucks: Windows 11 will be able to explain why your PC needs more RAM and a better GPU. 2 weeks ago:
Thats a good feature but it kind of reads like ai slop and allows windows to blame the users hardware for issues.
- Comment on AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it was very good response. All the points he brings up do not change any of the outcomes. Fsr would likely still fail all these tests.
Ive watched a lot of AI driver and I think fsr is cool but its lack of lidar is a huge mistake and creates these dangerous situations whete Tesla isn’t smart enough to mimic the awareness of a real driver.

I wear my socks whichever way they are when I pick them up. Also wtf are toe socks. After reading it I thought you meant socks with holes but now I’m picturing a special type of sock that fits around each toe. That sounds like a nightmare.

The only problem the fediverse has is content.
Compare Lemmy to mastodon. Mastodon is 10x the size but Lemmy is 10x more interesting an active. Became people on Lemmy make posts and discuss and joke and fight and its fun and new users can join in easily and add.

Do you believe that Isreal had a right to retaliate after Oct 7?
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 4 weeks ago:
She was in favour of removing the terrorist group from power and a two state solution. Why the fuck would an American president not support Isreal? The single criticism you lot have is over an issue that every American president has the same stance on.
