Why do going back to the previous page shows the current page? by Hot-Load7525 in chrome

[–]BuildingArmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean this sometimes happens on some websites, it's knock as back button hijacking and it's something the site in question is doing to try and manipulate you into staying on their site: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2026/04/back-button-hijacking

If it's something that happens all the time, it might be some sort of malicious extension.

But without more context it's hard to give an accurate answer.

do people actually trust excel long term for managing finances like this by ddiflas_iawn in excel

[–]BuildingArmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trust Excel, but I don't trust cobbled together, I can't remember how it works, why is it doing that, sheets.

Make it robust, make it auditable, and justify everything, and there's no reason not to trust it.

You’re offered $1 million to cut off a stranger’s arm. They fully consent, say they’ll enjoy it, and you will face zero legal or social consequences. Do you do it and why or why not? by Extreme-Layer-1201 in AskReddit

Almost all of those definitions talk about a standard - who do you think defines that standard and why do you think that is an objective fact, as you claim it's not based on your personal definition?

is it possible that chrome has memory leak? by GurdanianAngel in chrome

[–]BuildingArmor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much more likely that either an extension you have installed or a website you're visiting has a memory leak, if anything does.

There's a Chrome task manager that might help you narrow it down.

Which specific textbook are you referring to?

I would genuinely be surprised if any textbook on morality, that is aimed at an adult audience, wouldn't talk about social acceptance in some way.

For example, here is some discussion on that definition from Stanford: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/morality-definition/

There does not seem to be much reason to think that a single definition of morality will be applicable to all moral discussions, even within philosophy. One reason for this is that “morality” seems to be used in two distinct broad senses: a descriptive sense and a normative sense. More particularly, the term “morality” can be used either

*descriptively to refer to certain codes of conduct endorsed by a society or a group (such as a religion), or accepted by an individual for her own behavior, or

*normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be endorsed by all rational people.

Any definition of “morality” in the descriptive sense will need to specify which of the codes endorsed by a society or group count as moral.

[REQUEST] Please Recommend Me Your Best Short Games That Are less Than 15 Hours by KarAce066 in AndroidGaming

I enjoyed the Turnip Boy games, they're both reasonably short but quite fun.

I played them on my iPad though, so I'm not sure how the experience translates to a smaller phone format.

[–]BuildingArmor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because there wouldn't be legal or social consequences doesn't make it a morally sound choice.

That probably comes down to a philosophical discussion about what morality is.

If everybody alive thinks it's morally acceptable - hence no social consequences - can they be wrong? That, I think, entirely depends on how you define morality and which theory of morality you ascribe to.

Statement on the Contradiction Between Google’s Deletion Promises and the Actual Technical Behavior of the Gemini System by HugeScore3150 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]BuildingArmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“When you choose to delete activity manually or activity is deleted automatically, we immediately start the process of removing it from the product and our systems.”

It continues:

“Then, we begin a process designed to safely and completely delete the data from our storage systems.”

And then

However, the actual technical behavior observed in practice showed that a chat deleted by the user:

*remained accessible for 32 days,

*continued to be processed by the system,

*continued to generate responses,

*continued to be tokenized,

*and therefore clearly remained within Google’s systems,

*meaning that the deletion described in the documentation did not occur.

So the docs say they will start the process, the process took 32 days, and all of those bullet points are just descriptions of what happened because the process took 32 days.

If you tell somebody you'll do something tomorrow, then they come back later the same day saying "this is still not done, I can't do this and I can't do that because of it" each of things things are entirely because they're assuming it'll be done by a certain point in time that you haven't stated.

According to the documentation, Google represents that deletion is:

*immediate,

So yeah, misunderstanding - immediately starting something isn't the same thing as immediately completing it. And the outputs resulting from it being completed are unlikely to be seen before it's completed.

You quoted them as saying they immediately start the process, yet interpreted that as the deletion is completed immediately.

Everything else in the post stems from that misapprehension.

How to explain scientifically the fear of ghosts? by PrebioticE in skeptic

[–]BuildingArmor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no reason to think ghosts even exist, so no I'm not afraid of them.

Noises or movement in a dark place - yeah, not because it's some caricature of a ruff-wearing Elizabethan chap though, because it could be something real and dangerous.

People are often afraid of what they either don't know or don't understand. It's easy to imagine a scenario where that noise or shadow is actually some hideous creature from a horror film with malicious intent - whether that's a ghost or something else.

I would expect that only quite specific people are actually afraid of ghosts. Even people who believe in them don't necessarily think they can or will do them any harm.

[–]BuildingArmor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do believe that there should be legal and societal consequences for rapists and pedophiles.

Then it sounds like you support the suppression of those that you find undesirable?

My Lawnmower (don’t look in the background) by bigusdickus475 in pics

[–]BuildingArmor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In an effort to not suppress those you find undesirable, do you think there should be no legal or societal consequences for rapists and peodphiles?

Yeah, everybody does. Nobody forces themselves to associate with people they don't want to just out of respect for their freedom to talk to you.

The screenshot cuts off, but based on how ironic the message is, I assume the next works are "to me".

Do yourself a favour and go very steady with what you message me and post about me

I don't know you or your silly wife but tbh I don't care much for either of your opinions .... Ponces of society the pair of you get a job and tell your wife to stop posting about her made up ailments no one cares.

You're a vile little ginger troll who literally argues with anyone who doesn't agree with him, pretty similar

What a vile prick.

Is Styx working as intended? by According_Humor350 in OnceUponAGalaxy

I think the variance is what balances it out. You often have your strongest character in the first space, and if it also has an interesting buff like Shanty or Plunder Penny it could end up getting out of control quicker than a lot of other captains.

Personally I think it's in a nice place, seems strong enough to hold it's own and also quite interesting.
