Was almost convinced they did a post-virality image edit on Reddit
But I think Google pulled a watermark-free version from the comments and of course when I tapped it Reddit showed me the OP version, watermarked

Choose ur own comment adventure? A or B!
A.
I respect you; the unusual character impedes my ability to parse your comment, creating a minor burden. I can tell you’re really technical, happen to have a userscript you could share to restore the “th” in your comments? Or could include normal version in spoiler tags? (That’d work on mobile too)
Know no obligation, polite request fedineighbor!
B.
Thx for expanding my brain via challenging parsing
But you know what’s the safest way for us to keep your password safe? Not asking for one to begin with. By not creating a password with us you have no risk of it leaking, and we don’t have to deal with the responsibility of keeping it secure. The sign in link is going to your email, which presumably is protected with two-factor authentication, if you have it set up (which you should!).

i’m a man and i’ve had women reject me for my partner count many times for being too much or too little.
Is it TMI for them to even be asking that?! Unless you mean a few dates in or something maybe

Congratulations
Tradeoff question—
Should I expect to find some semblance of safety in sticking with the largest open source browser project I can find, given perhaps the eyeballs etc., or would you reckon not (or even perhaps the opposite, security through obscurity & Umbra is “safer” than Firefox)?

I’m wondering if you could have any version of this—assuming best intentions and smartest people—which did not demand very similar countermeasures past a certain equivalent growth threshold.
I unfortunately have to imagine Codeberg is like Lemmy and flies under the radar from spammers.
…for now.
LLMs all but guarantee a future of oppressive noise to signal ratios. I imagine IRL connections, or at least numbers saved in your phone, will become pretty important there. So then I think up in-person local-community-vibe verification schemes but they all end with dirty marketers or operators inducing members of the public to astroturf or lease their accounts…
Most of the edits to try and say turbo is the slow mode were done by the one person, they seem to think they are right when all the evidence points to the contrary. I’m glad they seem to have given up for now.
Heh maybe you inspired them :p
Great points
Hey ya think if the coolest thing ever were rejecting consumerism it’d make it palatable? Like your kids’ friends relish in having only three high-quality outfits or something, and read library books for fun… (like their parents)… then maybe your kid doesn’t beg for the cool new toy.
Pipe dream ya just thinking in that case if commenting about rejecting consumerism helped spur a trend it might be OK. Think TikTok driving Stanley thermos sales but the opposite
clears throat Don’t you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn’t exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over 9 billion dollars a year!
“For anyone with any interest in cinematography, here’s an excerpt from the American Cinematographer detailing the lighting rig for this location:
Batman’s sleek secret bunker was built in the hangar at Cardington, a walled open space that measures 200’ long by 60’ wide and has no support columns. Onscreen, the entire ceiling of the bunker emits light. “Cardington is an enormous space, and it took a bit of engineering to light it from above,” says Perry Evans, a veteran of Batman Begins who served as gaffer for the U.K. shoot. “Our lights couldn’t interfere with the construction that supported the ceiling, so we brought in a rock ’n’ roll-lighting company that built a huge gantry that hung 40 feet above the set.”
Evans and his team hung 300 space lights about 15’ above the actual ceiling; each lamp had six 800-watt bulbs, diffusion and silk skirting. The production tested various materials for the actual ceiling to find a type of Perspex that allowed enough light through while hiding the actual elements. Around the entire light rig, the crew hung a series of 20’x20’ white sheets to contain and smooth out the light. The thorough prep, which included six weeks of rigging, made for smooth shoot days in the bunker. Evans kept a couple of Image 80s on hand for closer work.
The script called for a light gag where the lights in the bunker come on and off in dramatic fashion. Possibilities discussed included dimming lights up, starting in the center and expanding concentrically, or in a chase, one at a time. During prep, Evans and his team programmed a variety of options and Nolan chose a method that followed the action. As Batman walks toward the elevator to exit, the lights go off in rows moving away from camera until Batman is seen in dramatic silhouette, lifted out of the frame by the elevator. Then the last light goes out. “That was a fun challenge,” says Evans. “It took a couple of takes, but once we got it right, it looked really good.””

More than three years ago we founded Worldcoin with the ambition of creating a new identity and financial network owned by everyone; the rollout begins today. If successful, we believe Worldcoin could drastically increase economic opportunity, scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy, enable global democratic processes, and eventually show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.
