intensely_human , to assholedesign in Oil draining over the hot exhaust? Sounds good guys, let's sign it off and start production!

Shouldn’t the process be like:

  • Build five
  • Drive them around as your own bikes for a while
  • Keep replacing the ones you’re using with the latest iteration

I mean, a lawyer’s gonna disallow that I’m pretty sure but that’s how we’d be designing new bikes at DaVinci Crater if I were over there. I’ll stay on the low sec roads, I know it needs major design certification before anyone can take it on the nice roads

luthis OP ,

Should be, but prototyping and making one offs is expensive, maybe even 100x the cost of mass production per unit, so they will of course be looking to do the minimal amount possible

Good old Cluley, he also has an award winning podcast, Smashin’ Security. It’s a light hearted take on recent security events. Its usually 30 - 45 minutes long.

One of my favourites

So there really are people that identify as an attack helicopter.

MotoAsh ,

The real question is, did it start as a joke, or start as a fetish? ‘Cause we all know the internet was gonna’ draw metal titties the second someone said, “attack helicopter” even as a joke.

Seeng the thumbnail, I’m out. I would not open something like this at work.

Definitely not playing that video here

Bonehead ,

Surprisingly, the thumbnail is the most suggestive yet least weird thing about that video.

MightyGalhupo ,

I clicked. This has made me very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

PersnickityPenguin ,

That’s a thing

No, they knew what they were doing.

Recruiting is tough in 2023.

TheBlue22 , to me_irl in me🚫irl

Not joking, every time a website asks me to turn off my adblocker, I leave and put it on my blocklist so it never shows up again. Then I simply use their competition instead.

Yawnder ,

It’s ok.

i generally go into noscript, poke in the console, or look for a bypass extension, just to spite them.

like sites that disable right click, i scrape them on principle…

Adblock users optimise their adblockers to be invisible to adblock-checking code. If your site works well, and is worth visiting, the only change in behaviour you can inspire is people nerfing their own adblockers.

araozu ,

Do they? I remember not long ago I just had to have an ads.js file, and if the user had an adblocker this file wouldn’t load.

So I just had a


<span style="color:#323232;">var ads_enabled = true;
</span>

And I could check if the user had an adblock.

I think most people just install ublock/others and leave it default. When I tried to customize ublock all those lists and regex pushed me away, never tried again since.

Phen ,

Ads can mean many things. It could be short for something (for example Active Directory Settings). I remember getting something legitimate blocked like 10 years ago but nothing in recent years so I imagine the detection got better at dealing with that.

Venomnik0 ,

how is that possible because I’d like to know how to do that in general?

Honytawk ,

In uBlock Origin, you can add filters.

Either those you download from the internet, or you can go add items yourself by clicking the uBlock Origin icon and selecting the “item picker”.

Then just click on the item you want to block.

There are more advanced ways to block stuff, like based upon content. I used this to block all the “suggested for you” posts on Facebook.

Aria ,

Step one is you don’t refuse files from the server, and try to answer as if you have them when asked in js. But the current actual methods and arms race is happening by comparing computed results, how your page is rendered according to your own browser when probed, vs how the detection code expects it rendered. Adblockers do things like lie, or inject things that can look close enough to ads that you pass the tests. You can see how detection works and try to sidestep what it does by looking at libraries like these github.com/sitexw/FuckAdBlock

This one in particular will probably just not run in uBlock out of the box so this one’s pretty easy to sidestep. But you can stuff code like this obscured in your site and another piece of code that checks that it hasn’t been removed. It’s pretty difficult for website develops to win this fight, since ultimately they’re letting us download and render their pages with fairly transparent technology.

Since mastodon and lemmy are federated, could one have postet the mastodon toot directly?

Masimatutu OP ,

Think about it like this: even when you link other posts in lemmy, you link them in their home instance, because there is no way to link posts so that everyone gets one to their own instance as you can do with communities in the threadiverse. Neither can you repost it in any meaningful way, since that just means copying the content, which would make it appear as though you said it yourself.

That some qualitiy content.

When you gaze into the spoon, the spoon also gazes into you

There is no spoon.
