OldWoodFrame , to technology in Unsealed complaint says Meta 'coveted' under-13s and deceives the public about age enforcement | The unredacted document reveals more details from a lawsuit filed against Meta by 33 states in October.

dirthawker0 , to technology in Yelp has a wall of shame for businesses caught paying for fake reviews

Yelp has made this wall of shame incredibly hard to browse. It’s not sorted in any clear way, and there’s no way to sort or filter it. You have to keep clicking “load more” to get 15 at a time. They really do not want to help you find which businesses to avoid in your area.

Because it’s not about normal people browsing it, it’s about them saying "we put you on our wall of shame “pay us instead of those fake reviewers!” And then removing the business from their tidy, alphabatized, excel spreadsheet that the esoteric algorithm the “wall of shame” randomly pulls from.

It’s about blackmail :D

Veneroso , to technology in Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits

Well, glad I jumped ship after the api fee fiasco. I never even used the mobile app, but the tone deaf/elonification, I was done. That’s right he got the great idea from Musk. How’s that IPO working out?

db2 ,

He doesn’t care. His goal is to extract money, period. He’s incredibly jealous of his former colleagues who cashed out for millions. He’s a greedy little pigboy.

Fuck reddit, I got banned from Worldnews for asking when Ukraine would attack other targets. I was banned for “call for violence” it was a post about the war. So stupid

Goodmorningsunshine ,

Pretty sure worldnews is modded by the same people as r/Zion. It’s so easy to get banned from there - just call a genocide a genocide

Crikeste ,

I got banned for suggesting a man who violently pushed a woman off a bike should be pushed himself. Lmao “advocating for violence”

Fuckin’ spineless idiots

TypicalHog , to technology in The Internet Archive has been fending off DDoS attacks for days

They should release an app where people can donate a portion of their storage to be used for redundancy in case anything happens to the archive.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

While I fully support the spirit of this idea, the problem here has little to do with a lack of storage redundancy and everything to do with the bandwidth limitations of a nonprofit company vs a malicious nation state that would seek to deny access to this sort of resource. Basically, given enough bandwidth, you either become resilient to most of these attacks or you become capable of performing them yourself on anyone with a slower connection than you.

I think the Internet Archive would be better served by direct donations, although I’d also love to see a complete torrent posted that gets updated regularly for anyone with the storage and bandwidth necessary to grab and then re-seed it. The web content alone is nearly a trillion pages, though, so that’s not going to be a long list of volunteers.

xilona ,

As you said, the solution is simple: Decentralized instances.

Anyone could spin a “WebArchive” instance and have the data synced from the other independent nodes… Similar to how crypto ledgers sync transactions…

But wait… this means anyone could see past removed important historical data from websites which may not benefit [ YOU KNOW WHO ]

puchaczyk , to technology in Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature

Fuck. I sometimes use the text-only version to access sites with too many moving elements or when the site is geoblocked or doesn’t respect cookies choices and denies access. So far, it has been the most reliable one for me.

Rivalarrival , to news in Uber shuts down alcohol delivery service Drizly three years after its purchase

DoorDash still has alcohol deliveries.

You would be amazed at how many people place a delivery order, then either leave home, pass out, or won’t answer the door.

hitmyspot ,

Here in Australia Uber and doordash both have alcohol deliveries and grocery deliveries. The core business is food. Recently I’ve noticed doordash offering alcohol too, before you’ve completed a food order. A second order for free, made at the same time. They had already offered a top up double dash, after you ordered. They’re cutting one step.

jawa21 ,

The one time I’ve had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.

Rivalarrival ,

I get them all the time for Meijers and a local bar/liquor store. One restaurant still sells margaritas in plastic cups, “sealed” with just a paper tape. I’m not completely sure that’s legal, but I look forward to the GoFundMe for my legal fees and living expenses if and when I get arrested for it.

I’ve been left with 4 bottles of champagne, a bottle of prosecco, 3 cases of beer, and a box of wine in the past year, where the customer just didn’t want to answer the door.

Spiralvortexisalie ,

NAL, but it would appear in most places in the great nation of America, any tape on a lidded plastic cup is a sufficient seal to defeat an open container citation (appears to be similarly treated as wine bottles that have paper/label seals) and it appears more than half the union offers drive up liquor sales in additions to NOLA’s famous drive thru margaritas source: (motorbiscuit.com/margarita-madness-states-offer-d…). If you are still worried you can check out here and click on your states law to get more in depth findlaw.com/…/open-container-laws-by-state.html

Rivalarrival ,

I’m not worried about it at all. I figure that if there is an issue with the packaging, the restaurant and DD would be liable.

EssentialCoffee ,

Michigan’s laws only very recently (during the pandemic) changed to allow this.

I mention Michigan specifically because they mentioned Meijer and Michigan is one of the states you can find those.

SpaceNoodle ,

Considering how many people order McDonald’s and Taco Bell through DoorDash, no, I wouldn’t.
