Corporation, fined

I couldn’t read with it and filtered it out with uBlock Origin:

Pop the lenses out of glacier glasses?

To be fair, you don’t have to be stupid to be clueless. We’re all clueless about plenty of things.

The claim isn’t that “you cannot stop”, but that it’s rude to not communicate about that ahead of time.

Of course the entitlement to volunteer work is also rude, and in my opinion worse.

It’s still a basic courtesy.

The most recent offender I’ve encountered is some SaaS called Termly which barfs out full terms of service, privacy policies, etc. with this human-hostile “feature”. Good luck actually using the contact information they contain.

I added this uBO filter just yesterday:

    app.termly.io##*:style(user-select: unset !important;)

Of course all the links are `target=_blank` too. I really don’t understand the mentality of whomever makes these.

Anyone have a screenshot?

I keep wishing there was a better way to project invitation when in this situation. All I’ve come up with is to appear happy and relaxed—sit upright, look around and smile, eat something as I roll.

We’re so instinctively competitive though it feels hopeless.

It would help if UIs made it easy to see the name of each emoji. Sometimes I even know what semantics I want but can’t discern which image it’s been assigned to.

Is it specified that semantically neutral appear yellow or is the color free to vary by implementation/user preference?

And empirically, failure of a site to follow this principle tends to correlate with being unhealthy or unbearable in other ways.

There are of course countless exceptions, which I allowlist with a couple of clicks. But overall I find browsing this way to be a breath of fresh air.

It can monitor your location and notify you about nearby reports.

I went through a couple rounds of trying to raise specifically this issue with support before simply uninstalling the app out of principle. They had their chance and burned it.

Can confirm I received the described spam at an address only shared with Soylent.

And how do you achieve that, transform the output of every command? Or just patiently play the long game of petitioning on internet forums?

Sounds like a reasonable compromise might be to set a monochrome emoji font in the terminal. I think you’ve convinced me to try it.

Didn't help them [avoid this fate] is how I read it; that doing quite fine was tragically insufficient to escape the maw.

I wonder if it’s improved recently. I’ve been cursing at Facebook for years for holding hostage the ability to create WhatsApp group chats when I’ve declined to expose all of my contacts to it, but I just checked again and there’s a “Skip” button now that proceeds to the phone number UI.

Newly added: Oncorhynchus kisutch (coho salmon)

Yeah literally two thirds of this is adversarial. https://0x0.st/83AB.png I reflexively noped out.

No controls in the training data?

I’m having a hard time imagining how failure to see an image would result in such a misleadingly specific wrong output instead of e.g. “nothing” or “it’s nonsense with no significant visual interpretation”. That sounds awful to work with.

I’m a little optimistic here. Step by small step lately the more normal people in my life have been joining this demographic.

Interesting, it was the opposite for me, US citizen with CA work permit circa 2016. CBP seemed to not care while CBSA was often irrationally aggressive and suspicious. The closest thing I got to an explanation once after being freed was “We just like you” with a grin.

They started serving an expired TLS certificate on 2024-12-08. I inquired about it a few days after but never heard back.

Tiling Assistant might be worth a try. It can be configured to be pretty out of the way and just add more snapping sizes, different per-monitor if you need.

The general infrastructure for this is already in place and widely used:

HP already uses this for firmware updates to keyboards and mice. Of course distros typically acquire consent before applying them.

> What happens when you forget where a key is

I ask myself where I expected it to be, then update the keyboard accordingly. Eventually it doesn’t happen anymore.

Ironic. Two days ago I migrated all my notes to Joplin specifically avoid Obsidian’s complicated licensing around commercial use.
