“Hey guys, so I just did a bit of returning off screen and made 10,000 death star ships”

Aren’t the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

Pretty crazy to think they got broken up in the late 90s/early 2000s for simply including IE in a fresh Windows install (im probably over simplifying but still). Yet these days they’re pulling this kind of shit

It’s been done at a town level before, with the same results

it could also just be a group of rocks in the shape of a plane

This whole search was as useless as those plane shaped rocks. Wait a minute… There’s a plane behind those rocks!

The reddit api blocking 3rd party apps pushed a whole bunch of people onto lemmy, and lemmy is very big on FOSS and Linux so it’s been a gateway of sorts

Still a net reduction though, a lot of those crops go to feed cows, pigs and chickens so if you remove that step and just eat the crops far fewer animals get killed

I feel this will just breed resentmint

To be clear, my working assumption is that there is a nefarious reason, it’s just not immediately obvious to me what it is.

As someone else mentioned though, you could be a bit fucked if your eyeball data is used to identity fraud you, so perhaps not the best idea for a security standpoint

So why do they want people’s iris scans? Like they say it’s an easy way to verify someone signing up is a real person but is there some other nefarious reason I’m missing here?

Lem.ee

It still shows for me

All great points and I agree 100%. Thanks for taking the time to write this

I think the worst part of it is that its not actually hopeless, at least not in theory. It’s just that we, or more accurately the people with actual power, refuse to act because it would mean slightly less profit.

Gotcha. I’ve got my router doing auto update - initiatally I thought you were referring to an auto update tool for the renewal you have to do every month with the free ddns that makes you do a captcha. I should probably just pay for the next tier up tbh

What do you use to auto update ddns?
