Many Russians already use matrix, they may not use it seriously but they use it.
I mean in the past few days I’ve seen like 20 Russian trolls, spamming scat porn, racial slurs, racist memes, extremist memes, you name it.
So yeah I would say that matrix is already decently popular among Russians. Maybe not for legitimate use but it’s still definitely popular among them.

Answer is absolutely. If they don’t follow USB-PD protocol correctly they can damage the battery or the charging circuitry in the device. If they are made with poor quality parts they can also die prematurely and cause voltage spikes when they do which can again, damage the battery and charging circuitry.
Some people may argue that you should never buy any other charger besides the one that the manufacturer supplies with the device. This is not a good argument though because most of the time the charger that the manufacturer supplied is an off the shelf charger itself, just rebranded to their own brand name. Most of the time it’s a reputable brand which is why these tend to be more reliable. So basically sticking with a reputable brand is about the same level of safety if not more safe than the one that came with it.
Note that a reputable brand is not those ones that you buy at a gas station or street shop, or the ones that you buy dirt cheap on Amazon. Those are examples of chargers you probably want to avoid.
Also while we’re on the subject of chargers this same concept does apply to docking stations for laptops, phones, and PC gaming handhelds, because these docks also have USB-PD chips in them as well, and the shitty clone versions can easily malfunction and damage your laptop, phone, or gaming handheld. The solution is the same as with the chargers, try to only use docking stations from reputable well-known brands.
Same advice I gave to Nintendo Switch users when they ask about chargers that are safe for the Switch, unsurprising it’s applicable for all chargers in general.
Largely the same as if they just disappeared and stopped logging in. The community would become abandoned and unmoderated.
Reddit had a system where you could request banned or inactive communities, Lemmy instances don’t usually have this, instead requiring you message that instance’s admins directly.
It doesn’t really matter, anyone can use Lemmy, regardless of gender identity or orientation. Some instances and communities are better suited for specific groups than others but for the most part we’re all people.

Hopefully he will be recognized as a troll soon and he’ll end up banned either from LW or even by his own instance admin.
Glad I could help.
Possibly vote manipulation as well, I mean where else would the sites to buy upvotes and downvotes get those voter accounts.
Could also be so they can make more ad money, since it makes it look like more people use the site, and more people see the ads. Allows them to get more money from advertisers.
Some may have been copied directly from Facebook since most bot posts copy from ones humans have made before.
Glad to see that there’s finally some effort to hack the shitty anti-consumer printer ink DRM.
CAPTCHA doesn’t stop bots, and let us be honest, it never really did. It frustrated the hell out of people though, and caused people to waste time doing these challenges. Meanwhile even before AI bad actors and bots could get past it simply by using captcha solver services run by exploited humans solving captchas for the service.
It’s a display of security theater meant to make normies feel safe but in reality doesn’t stop most bad actors.
Yeah this person is a serial troll. They will troll and argue about anything even if they are blatantly wrong and everyone knows they are wrong. They seem to have honestly nothing better to do, since almost all of their replies are trolling and hostility.
Tylenol is just the brand, the active ingredient is Acetaminophen.
I’m willing to bet that this is one of those sketchy knockoff cables. The usb-c standard, called USB power delivery doesn’t support 10 amps. Likely it never could because it would require thicker cables and more heavy duty connectors than what USBC actually has. Anyone who knows anything about basic electronics already knows this, more specifically what happens when you put too much current through a cable that’s not rated for it.
All I can say is that I hope there aren’t devices that try and actually pull 10 amps through a cable like this, it would probably not end well.
I agree, I like the liquid ones better, but I also have the dual ones (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) which I use instead when the pain is too much for ibuprofen alone. I haven’t found gel versions of the dual ones but if I did I would get those instead of the white ones.
Absolutely not. While a captcha can stop somebody with a simple python script and nothing else. It is not effective against sophisticated bots which either use AI or which connect through API to a captcha solving service run by humans. Much to the chagrin of captcha operators.
From what I’ve seen the main purpose of captcha is to act as security theater to dissuade normies. If there’s anything that captcha has been successful at it’s been permeating pop culture as a trope. As far as actually stopping the malicious actors it hasn’t really done that much, mainly because these people will adapt and change their tactics. They’re not just going to keep trying the same methods that aren’t working, they’re not stupid. Many do it as a business.
