somas@kbin.socialto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later2·1 year agoYes that’s a concern here as well but it’s pretty easy to run your own instance in Docker or whatever
somas@kbin.socialto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later143·1 year agoIf you want to avoid Reddit tracking altogether a redlib instance will let you do that https://libreddit.projectsegfau.lt/r/conspiracy/comments/170e8dp/reddit_comments_are_full_of_bots_reupload/
What’s the tool of choice now?

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all
@nifty I have nothing against Ruby and think it’s a nice flexible language. At the peak of RoR though, all the asshats were all over Ruby.
My problem with Ruby wasn’t even RoR, it was with the way the asshats valued
creativity“cleverness” which seemed to mean writing code in the most cryptic ways possible. These folks took what should be an expressive language and wrote scripts that rivaled Perl’s worst “read once and never again” scripts.
somas@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?12·1 year agoIs that not what Matrix is? I haven’t been to really understand Matrix so maybe I’m wrong.
somas@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Editing memories, spying on our bodies, normalising weird goggles: Apple’s new Vision Pro has big ambitions11·1 year ago-
There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.

The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.

If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.
The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

somas@kbin.socialto Apple@lemmy.world•Netflix Co-CEO Calls Vision Pro 'Subscale' and Wonders if Anybody Would Actually Use It51·1 year agoI don’t know any Netflix devs but I’ve spoken with devs of other apps that had to disallow iPad apps running in compatibility mode on macs because the iPad apps were very buggy as Mac apps. This isn’t true for all iPad apps but you have to make sure your app will run well before enabling compatibility mode.
I also follow a dev on mastodon (I think it’s the guy behind the Channels app) who made an interesting observation. He makes the case that it’s actually Apple TV apps that should run on AVP, not iPad apps.
somas@kbin.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Now more than ever, ChromeOS is Linux with Google’s desktop environment19·2 years agoDoes this mean I can reasonably expect to buy a Chromebook and install vanilla Linux without huge headaches?
There’s always been Linux distros that targeted Mac hardware. There’s got to be something like that for chromebooks, right?
I’ll simplify things for you. I invented french fries. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty liar
somas@kbin.socialto Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•'Oppenheimer' Surpasses 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Becomes Highest-Grossing Biopic of All-Time21·2 years agoTIL Bohemian Rhapsody was formally the highest grossing biopic. I kind of liked the movie but I know a lot of people who obsessed over Freddie Mercury and they all swear the movie is wretched
somas@kbin.socialto Apple@lemmy.world•Resident Evil 4 remake is coming to the iPhone 15 Pro / Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage are also coming to the phone1·2 years ago@octalfudge is no one thinking this may be setting the stage for console gaming on the Apple Vision Pro?
I don’t know if I’d play pancake games on the Vision but no one knows what it will be good at yet
somas@kbin.socialto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit Mod permabans user for using "female" in post title, proceeds to obliterate all criticism before locking the thread calling them out. Akwardtheturtle reincarnated?4021·2 years agoFemale is an adjective. People who use it as a noun are suspect as fuck.
I’m very impressed with startrek.website. The community appears to me to have completely forgotten about Reddit altogether.
somas@kbin.socialto politics @lemmy.world•64% of Americans say they wouldn’t support Trump: poll2·2 years agoYes, I’m aware of that. This is why I brought up Roger Stone. My point is people aren’t stupider or more insular today; they are actually slightly less so.
The machinery of propaganda is much more refined today.
