qwertz ftw.

*duck and run*

back when i was still a teenager, ww did battle ourselfes who typed faster even without a keyboard lol. We just typed on a table or something just based on our finger memory of where which key is normally on a keyboard. This days i often type on my smartphone, but you can’t rly type a lot or fast on phones so i still prefer normal computer typing for most things. But people who just chat and don’t code or similar…yeah, they probably are mostly only using their phone. my sister as an example hasn’t used her laptop for nore than 4 years, probably more… and just does everything on her phone.

can you image what the internet would do then? It would end similar to microsofts twitter AI who did learn to be racist by the internet and to swear and stuff.

no it doesn’t. i tried to achieve this multiple times myself and it never worked. and the cases where journalists say it did, they needed to specific ask a lot of times and in a highly specific way till they got a short snippet. Chatgpt dont spits out the exact same phrases over and over again if you ask the same, but has a variable defining how “random” and “far away from the perfect next predicted text” the output is, and by default this makes sure that the answers are never the same. Otherwise it wouldn’t be chat like but more like a simple database spitting out always the same answers for the same question. But that’s not how chatgpt works.

there are bots who are able to check if a image is a repost or not and they can then remove the post if it’s a repost.

same bs with apps not running jidt because root or apps not being visible in playstore because of it. Netflix isn’t even showing up as existing in playstore just because i have root. it’s nuts. and there are tons of apps like this.

50k users and still every day when you open lemmy you see stone old posts or just copy pasted posts from reddit. 50k users mean nothing if most of them isn’t contributing anything (copy pasting content of reddit don’t counts).

to my knowledge this limit existed already for a long time. it’s intented to prevent scraping and automatic bots. They basically want prevent people from using bots who act as a browser instead of using their API (where they can limit them) to do stuff on reddit.

They also have a automatic system detecting when too many clients access them with similar or “odd” characteristics (weird useragents, referers, amount of requests, weird headers in the request etc.) - if they detect such a case they usually limit you and then completly block you for hours, days or months. I couldn’t open reddit on my chrome app anymore because that as an example (i was developing an reddit client and they detected my useragent browser name as “too old”… so they just banned my browser while others worked fine )

how would they scan the inside of a password protected zip archive? the whole purpose of the password is that nobody can open it without the pw. you can may look at the zip archive self and check the checksum or maybe filenames, but not open and extract the files to check them (images etc). specially not if you maybe even use rar archives who are even more secure and you can protect even filename lists etc.

except if you put it in a password encrypted archive beforehand. because then nobody has access to it.

FreeTube, newpipe etc. simulate being a browser and extract the video that way…if YouTube would want to add ads for this thirdparty clients they would have to inject them directly into the video feed.

when i was still in school, we always were allowed to used the computers from time to time to browse the internet. and websites had ads, hut it usually was 1-2 banners… it didn’t feel that extreme overloaded and i even looked at them. I thought they were uninteresting, but I didn’t care much. this days i have a allergic reacting against all ads. going online without a adblock feels like websites slap me with a huge block of wood or stone directly into my face over and over and over… it’s crazy.

i really can’t understand how this days people can still not go crazy without a adblocker.

damn, I didn’t expected BugMeNot being that old. Interesting.

a lot of people do. there are greasemonkey scripts for it. some scripts even only delete certain old posts after a certain date so reddit isn’t picking up to it quickly.

they gave me the option, but I’m not in the US so I couldn’t even do it if i wanted. so why they even asked me to is beyond me. it’s just bs.

“hey… wanna buy our stuff?”

“yes”

“oh you’re not from the US. sorry.”

“but you knew I’m not from the US”

“meh.”

i’m almost 30 and was using (or trying to use…) the site when i was around 14-16 years old. dunno when the site first released thought. i stopped bothering after trying countless hours for weeks to use the site… but people just spammed fake accounts.

i know that site from when i was still a teen and even then it was 99% fake creds. finding just one single working login in a whole week was like finding a treasure for me.

it’s the same bs as facebooks “brain armband” which just picks up signals from muscle activity and not really from the brain. but because the brain is triggering those signals they call it “brain interface”. it’s just bs.

i use chatgpt for coding (i can code myself but it helps with a lot of stuff), and if I wouldn’t be able to code i would wonder why nothing works. but because i know how to code i know that chatgpt is often just writing horrible code which often does something completly else than asked. so i often think “screw this i do it myself” after countless trys to let chatgpt fix it.

and at the same time he only lets you use twitter with an account and killed thirdparty apps on mobile.
