From my understanding, it’s how many processes it’s running?,

Could be open tabs, but my Firefox always has at least (3) even when I’ve just opened it.

The system is working as designed.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Same. I’ve been using magicearth but I keep my eyes open for any alternative to a popular google app , just so I have a backup if something goes wonky.

You know, as much as I hate it… “you know it when you see I but hard to definet” really is accurate.

There’s plenty of things that aren’t outright illegal that are completely inappropriate around children.

And if there are things that are context specific, it gets a lot harder to make a computer recognize a problem.

Audio cues are easy to scan for and computers are pretty good at recognizing sounds, especially in regards to copyright detection (even if their interpretation of “fair use” clause is still fucked 6 ways)

Video is a lot harder unless the computer is trying to match direct images (it’s a lot easier to recognize a still frame from The Avengers when it’s uploaded full size than it is to recognize a slightly warped, smaller cropped version with someone in front of it commenting on the video)

First time?

Same, plus or minus a year.

It took me a week, but I scrambled every comment and post with lorem ipsum and bee movie scripts, deleted the comments, then after verifying I could no longer find any of my original content on any search engine outside archive sites, I deleted the account.

It took so long because r*ddit started limiting API access when they realized people were automating their profile scrubbing.

As I’ve said before about certain countries, if you’re doing everything you can to prevent people from leaving [THING/PLACE] then you might just be shit.

I’ve been getting little bubbles for store/restaurant logos popping up on the map for about a month as I drive, and I assumed that’s what it was. So every time I see one, I make a point to not eat/go there for awhile just out of spite.

One head gets chopped off, two new ones spawn.

HAIL HYDRA

As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.

And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.

One reddit user suggests LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET

that sorry of thing

Still works.

It’s insane to me all the different ways the government procures things.

Just get it straight from the manufacturer. Then if anything ever goes wrong there isn’t the “who is REALLY to blame on this long chain of people” it’s “hey this shit is broken, YOU are responsible for it”

Of course sometimes they do it as a form of opsec, if you distribute parts across many small time sellers it’s easier to hide something than one big order from the primary source.

Also a “I don’t like you/this page/the content and will go out of my way to systematically down vote everything you have done and everything in this particular thread” button.

Any time I fast forward and have to wait for a commercial that interrupted my fast forwarding, it’s an immediate cancelation of the service and I’m on the phone with customer support to try and get my couple of bucks for that month back.

Fuck your shitty service, I’m grabbing my hat and sword.

“starting to”

Lol

Sir, this is the internet.

You can find Ai porn of a great many members of congress.

It just isn’t popular to post on major websites like certain celebrities have been recently.

Some people know just enough to be dangerous.

For instance, an anecdote:

A nearby local hardware store put up a sign in 2017 and now this year, in front of the welding equipment, that says “WELDING GOGGLES DO NOT PROTECT EYES AGAINST THE SUN”

Now if they didn’t block uv from the sun, then they wouldn’t block uv from your welding arc.

BUT I 100% stand by their choice to put the sign up.

Because you need a certain shade or darker, and they sell a lot of different shades for different welding applications, including the safety tints people might want if they’re nearby and catch the occasional reflection.

And some people know enough to know welding arc = UV, sun = uv, and don’t stop to think about intensity.

In fact, in 2017, I knew someone who tried to use a #3 lense to look at the total eclipse, and as soon as the moon cleared moved enough for the sun to peek back, he deeply regretted not using a darker shade. Now has a weird spot in his vision that isn’t quite right.

It’s so weird how a lot of society went from “WOAH, government can’t use these things to track me, I have a right to privacy!” to “WOAH, you try not to be tracked by every single company on the planet and 16 major governments? What are you some kinda criminal?”

I can tell you from experience you can use a garage worth of basic tools to make a gun, but not one that will be “print, assemble, fire” without extra parts.

I’d say about 4/10 times I go flying my 240g drone in the local park someone comes over to tell me I’m breaking the law. Weirdly they can never name a specific one, and it’s always just “the law says you cant use that here”. Never had cops called yet. Mostly people want to ask me how much it was and how I like it. A few have asked if I’ve tried dropping “something the size of a baseball” from it.

I have a buddy who works in a bank, says a ton of ag loans these days are for drones and renewable energy equipment. Even the owner of the field I live next to has one. I think it lives in his shed, it has 8 rotors. Looks like it could lift a skinny short person. I have exactly 0 concerns they will use it to spy on me or drop explosives on my house.

I’d love to have a drone with thermal/night vision. We get a lot of animals around here and I’d like to be able to see them (and figure out what they all are) without spooking them.
