That's becoming increasingly more difficult though. Search engines (especially Google) have their top results polluted with links back to Amazon or sketchy sites, reviews etc

The actual products in Amazon - and now pretty much everyone with an online store - heavily mixed with 3rd-party Chinesium products with names generated by room full of cats and keyboards, and then further obfuscated by what their algorithm actually wants you to see, often to the point where it completely disregards your actual search terms.

It's not mindlessly clicking. Your could literally spend hours trying to find the thing you need but only seeing the thing they want to sell you.

The funny (in an "wtf" not "haha" sense) thing is, individuals such as security researchers have been charged under digital trespassing laws for stuff like accessing publicly available ststems and changing a number in the URL in order to get access to data that normally wouldn't, even after doing responsible disclosure.

Meanwhile, companies completely ignore the standard mentions to say "you are not allowed to scape this data" and then use OUR content/data to build up THEIR datasets, including AI etc.

That's not a "violation of a social contract" in my book, that's violating the terms of service for the site and essentially infringement on copyright etc.

No consequences for them though. Shit is fucked.

"pray we don't alter the deal further?"

Fun thing, if you don't sort by "Prime" you'll often find that there's another one of the exact item you're looking for - without Prime - but actually for a lower price. The Prime isn't actually free shipping, it's just baked into the price

Does federation involve some sort of key exchange? If not, would that mean that if one loses control of a domain somebody could spin up a new Lemmy instance to spoof the old one and potentially harvest data?

Yeah but then the tops would sit higher

I think the first step should be to just be to strip him off his secret service bodyguards...

Yeah, the are many other reasons I don't buy Samsung anymore but a singular PoS employee that did something they made good on wouldn't be a reason to quit. Now if this was a common behaviour by employees that would be a different thing but I don't think there's a rash of TV-slitting assholes working for them.

Meh, impeach is weak for Trump anyhow. Insurrection and possibly treason seem more in-line with his actions.

I installed it and added to Emudeck with a script that runs it under Proton.

I did notice that there were supposedly some native Linux builds but nothing recent.

Are y'all using the windows build with Proton or a native build?

My bank blocked a payment to my mortgage lender (I had more than enough money in the bank, but they had a bunch on hold when I transferred a recent deposit to savings).

The agent for the broker that called asked for a bunch of information that they should have had. I hung and and called back to find it was a legit call, but let then know that I their rep really sounded like a scammer and they should probably update their scripts

It's dumb, but it's also possible that a combination of those terms hads been adopted by some group distributing CSAM.

At one point, "cheese pizza" was a term they apparently used on YouTube videos etc due to it having the same abbreviation as CP (Child Pornography).

Sick fucks ruining everything for everyone
