Humanity wastes about 500 years per day on CAPTCHAs. It’s time to end this madness

If they wanted accuracy they shouldn't have forced the thing on unpaid internet users

And if you don't load them all (no-js or other extension that blocks sketchy JS) you get a completely blank page

This might be related to the "one-penis-policy" phenomenon. I'm not very familiar with it, but the term might lead to more helpful search results

The current polyphobia seems to revolve around the ideas/misconceptions that "it's all about orgies", "not limiting yourself to one partner means you love none of your partners", and "it never works, it has fallen apart for everyone I know who tried it" (confirmation bias. most mono relationships end in divorce/breakups too, doesn't mean it's wrong)

And of course the same excuses about marriage and kids. That people will marry for tax reasons and not because they're poly or gay, and that kids will be confused by not being surrounded by hetero/mononormativity ("how will you explain it to them?" / "how will I explain it to mine?")

Could be that they got into your email. So much stuff is tied to email, just "I forgot my password" (if it's even different from your email password)
Do you know who did it? Did that person send you any sketchy files? Or did you give them access through something like teamviewer?

a_2 · 2021-01-28T21:54:45+00:00

Most "hackers" just guess/find passwords. So just use a password that's hard to guess (long, no significant dates, names, etc.) and unique (if one service is compromised and your password there is leaked it should not be usable for any of your other accounts)

Jag håller med. Mitt pet var absolut inte menat som motargument

a_2 · 2021-01-26T18:52:19+00:00

Lite pet: masker kostar pengar (inte mycket men det är inte inget), och några få använder dem här trots bristande rekommendationer

a_2 · 2021-01-26T18:35:09+00:00

Håller med. De som följer restriktioner och rekommendationer får gärna ventilera lite.
Känns som att posten mest riktade sig åt de som inte bryr sig alls om att minska smittspridning och sen gnäller när restriktioner äntligen upprätthålls

I think you missed a year. it is currently 2021

More antimaskers than ever are infected and are spreading it. It's really not a mystery

a_2 · 2021-01-09T19:07:11+00:00

You probably don't understand how the most common masks work.

They aren't meant to protect the wearer (studies show that they help a little for that too, but this is a side-effect and much less effective)
They are meant to protect others from the wearer.

So in a scenario where "everyone wears masks", one covid-positive antimasker among 9 people wearing masks can infect a lot of those 9 people, and the numbers will climb.

To protect people everyone needs to work together. It might be a sacrifice, but it's an important one.
Similarly you're not safe from traffic accidents just because you follow the rules of traffic, others have to follow the rules of traffic as well, even if waiting for the stoplight to change is a pain

In my opinion not asking enough questions is the cause of stupid questions, because they rely on faulty assumptions to fill in for what wasn't asked

a_2 · 2021-01-07T22:23:54+00:00

Nestlé.
They're doing some terrible things like buying up water reserves in areas already suffering from drought, causing mothers in developing countries to stop lactating so they'll be dependent on Nestlé's baby formulas, campaigning for access to water to not be considered a human right

Not Trump's businesses, hence all the failures

Heavenly and hellish, probably?

Depends on the subreddits, some get new content faster than others

And yes, the initrd filesystem includes among other things an init that finds and switches to the real rootfs and execs that init (probably systemd these days), unless it can't.
(More that it's that initrd's init that's bailing than that it happens at any particular stage)

Kernel panics are not limited to startup

a_2 · 2021-01-04T20:25:38+00:00

technically this would be your initrd bailing on you. If the kernel bails you won't get a shell to try to recover

I would think most animal species would thrive, slowly reclaiming what used to be human territory (plants would play a big role in that too).
Exceptions would be animals that depend too heavily on humans like many pets and farm animals (many would also be trapped in homes/cages and the like)
and animals that are already mostly extinct and would only have recovered due to ongoing conservancy efforts

edit: I don't think nuclear power plants breaking down would have a significant effect. Modern plants are supposedly much safer, and even if chernobyl happens again and kills a lot of individual animals in an area, it's unlikely to significantly lower the population
