I was just woken up by a leaf blower again. I feel ya.

It doesn’t count if it costs money, which mail does.

I resolved to never give Epic a dime when I got a popup forcing me to agree to a binding arbitration agreement in order to launch games I already have installed and in my library. It tells me that they think people will have good reasons to sue them in the future.

All I’m trying to say is that they’re not necessarily doing the same thing now that they were back then. They’d have a strong motivator to be better than google nowadays instead of just copying their results because google’s results suck now.

This is funny, but it was also 13 years ago. A lot can change in that time. I don’t personally use Bing though, so I don’t have firsthand experience either way.

I can see why you’d prefer braces in that case. I actually personally prefer {} over indentation as a matter of opinion, I just see them both as working fine 99% of the time. I’d also definitely take indentation over some shenanigans like start/end to define scopes.

I don’t understand why people complain about their Python code breaking because it relies on indentation instead of explicit {} syntax. I’ve never had an issue with it and it’s not just because I’m used to it because Python is the only language I use that relies on whitespace like that. I think the complainers just don’t know how to indent properly, which makes me really glad they’re writing in a language that forces them to instead of pushing unreadable garbage in other languages.

So it’s sort of like Minecraft structured like Roblox? (Minus the corporate greed)

Wow, nice digging. That is so bizarre. If I were you, I’d check to make sure that you do get thT prompt normally with other apps, since that might be a security hazard.

Oh yeah, I hate sites that do that.

I’ve had some sites bug out on Firefox that I’m pretty sure weren’t really related to Google or Microsoft in any way. I still use Firefox obviously, but it’s annoying.

It really depends on what content you want. If you like news and memes, Lemmy is the place to go. If you have a niche interest, there’s no hope.

I tried specifically with discord because they mentioned discord and it didn’t work.

Is your phone rooted? I have Aurora as well and it still has to harass me to give permission for every update. I’m on Android 14.

It’s definitely gotten a lot worse within the past year or two.

I’ve noticed an increase in posts on reddit that follow the format of:

• Post with either a problem that can be solved by a product or a showcase of the functionality of a product
• Comment from a different account naming the product and basically giving a good review
• Multiple replies from different accounts corroborating the original comment and sharing their own positive anecdotes

It’s very sus, especially considering the amount of blatant repost/comment-stealing karma farm bots.

It’s illegal not to disclose when something is paid promotion. Worst case scenario, the ad blocker blacks out your screen while it detects the ad notification and auto skips when it can. We’ll never actually be forced to watch the ads.

Oh yeah, maybe it was a package deal and they only really cared about the training data.

I don’t get why Google would agree to pay for anything. Google can survive without Reddit, but Reddit would be hurt without Google and would eventually be forced to give in. Where’s that corporate greed when you need it?

This is unironically the answer. You can’t make a general-purpose captcha solver AI if every website or group of websites uses a completely different kind of captcha.
