HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users LiveEnglish61·3 days agoI call bullshit on it being for cops: given valid-ish reasons, they can simply request all the comments left by the user directly from google and ask an llm of their choosing to produce a similar result.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users LiveEnglish2·3 days agoReddit (as well as lemmy) is a bit simpler in that regard: all you need to find all the posts made by the $username is to visit their profile, while YouTube actually requires scraping.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Is it OK to leave device chargers plugged in all the time? An expert explainsEnglish71·5 days agoI mean, transistors and ICs do degrade over time, hovewer, out of all the power supplies I’ve repaired, the vast majority had dead caps, and those kinda tend to dry out with time regardless of whether they’re in use. So, kinda negligible, just like the power consumption in standby.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•This Printer company served you malware for months, called them false positivesEnglish17·12 days agoGood to see there are still viruses in the wild, I was beginning to think those kinda became some ancient forgotten form of art. [I mean proper viruses, not malware in general]
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Webm supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks inside its RIFF container structure, why the hell arent browsers supporting it???English1·15 days agoFair, although AFAIK we’d also need native hls support (outside safari) since it’s quite commonly used as well. Although, that info might be outdated
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Webm supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks inside its RIFF container structure, why the hell arent browsers supporting it???English201·16 days agoMost sites use some custom js-based players instead of the native video tag anyways, so I don’t exactly think it’s an issue.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Europe’s onlyfans performers can’t get justiceEnglish13·16 days agoCan’t say I agree, but it’s an interesting perspective for sure. Although, given the problem literally cannot be solved by tightening the DRM and whatnot, why don’t we fight the stigmatization instead? As in, people usually dgaf if they learn their friend is an accountant or paints 40k miniatures in their spare time.

HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Chromium Blog: Fighting Unwanted Notifications with Machine Learning in ChromeEnglish2·21 days agoRSS readers are the way, yes; mail – most of the time: there are pretty nice Foss options I can trust, although it’s not always possible, like with free tier proton mail. As for chat clients, also true for android but not so true on desktops: like, I’m not exactly happy when telegram logs my window manager and so on.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Chromium Blog: Fighting Unwanted Notifications with Machine Learning in ChromeEnglish241·22 days agoIt’s sometimes useful for messengers, tho. I mean, many of those are electron apps anyway, and those that are not are unlikely to have a sandbox as good as what browsers have.
Although, I agree: my default action for notifications is always reject, and then I can manually approve what I think I need.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Don’t watermark your legal PDFs with purple dragons in suits - Ars TechnicaEnglish3·29 days agoIs it just me, or it kinda sounds like they don’t want to prococess a complaint? A warning not to do that again would be enough, IMO, given it seems like there are no rules prohibiting this.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktopEnglish8·29 days agoThat’s cool and everything, yet we have an itsy-bitsy tiny problem: iirc, there are like 3.5 vendors that have opted into dp alt mode support, and each one I know of kinda sucks. I suppose it might be possible to simply enable it in software by changing the devicetree on usb3 devices or something if the port the vendor decided to route is the one multiplexed with dp, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•DRM-Free OnlyFans Downloads See Widevine Project Nuked From GitHubEnglish2·1 month agoYeah, right. Because those contracts are set in stone, and our corporate overlords won’t ever take away the advertised ability to download books you’ve paid for, not to mention those very contracts being written in human-readable format and not lawyer speak. \s
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•DRM-Free OnlyFans Downloads See Widevine Project Nuked From GitHubEnglish62·1 month agoAgreed to disagree then. IMO, if a company thinks it’s OK to throw me over the dick hiding behind being afraid of shadows, deny me access to legally obtained content on my devices, walk back on previous deals, and so on, then I have no problem with getting unrestricted access to stuff they decided I don’t technically own. Fuck the fucker, simple as that.
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•DRM-Free OnlyFans Downloads See Widevine Project Nuked From GitHubEnglish371·1 month agoBaseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:
- archiving – when you don’t have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
- ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices – I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
- bypassing bullshit restrictions – not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you’re not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.

Like, I’m also unlikely to suddenly go converting all my nix spaghetti into some new and shiny thing unless it makes doing something I need considerably easier
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is anyone looking for a open source project to get involved in? If so, this might be for you: MediaWolf - a Media Discovery and Download Hub.English3·2 months agoWhile not in the roadmap, I’d like to try adding squid[.]wtf and possibly lucida.{s,t}o (although, it’s been rather unstable lately) downloaders, if you’re interested
HyperfocusSurfer@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What host names do you use?English2·2 months agoCharacters from the Murderbot Dairies, mostly
- main laptop (t480 currently) – Murderbot;
- previous main laptop (x270) – MB20;
- homeserver – ART;
- a TV box running armbian – Miki;
- t440p is currently Behemoth (from Bulgakov’s “Мастер и Маргарита”), although I’ll probably rename it to Holism;
- x230t – Three;
- a random thin client I occasionally use to test stuff is yogurt (from" love, death & robots"), not sure if I’ll rename them.
Do people really use DMs there?
