iamacyborg··on Unsurprisingly, Meta's new Muse AI agent blatantly ignores users permissions
Post-Cambridge Analytica, yeah, a smidge surprised.

The story from Hunterbrook is also pretty crazy with Muse having much more access to Meta’s social graphs than I suspect most users would hope.

iamacyborg··on 500k facial scans at UK stations yield no arrests, 1 false positive
The only mention of red light jumping is the victim’s opinion that it’s a factor.

I don’t think that’s true given how many people do it with their own bikes.

Let’s not be too harsh, 3 years should be sufficient.

We also need a points-based system on the tube, if you’re walking slowly in tunnels blocking traffic at rush hour because you’re staring at your phone you get a point. 5 points and you get a 6 month ban from the tube.

Set up some automated scanners for cyclists jumping red lights in the City as well.

No comment on the joint thing.

As far as tendons are concerned, they require proactive rehab and you have to load them. There are various loading strategies that a physio is best placed to advise on. Shockwave therapy has also been found to help.

Some pain during tendon loading during rehab is generally expected and not necessarily a negative sign, somewhere around a 4/10 at most.

Recovery is slow in the order of months, not weeks.

There is some evidence that taking a collagen peptide based protein along with vitamin c an hour before loading the tendon can help.

I take creatine daily, have done for well over a year. I also run 5-6 days a week and lift twice a week.

I’ve previously stopped taking it for a couple months and noticed no real difference in physical or mental ability.

Fine in theory but determined scrapers will use residential proxies in bulk.

I’m commenting on this, which is clearly misogynistic dreck.

I’m not sure the misogyny is warranted.
iamacyborg··on There's a new "Google Jail" for independent wikis
The poe2wiki issue is a little different to what is documented, albeit only for the last few months, previously we certainly had visibility issues.

The recent issues relate to site errors due to aggressive crawling of uncached, server-intensive pages (diffs, etc) hidden behind residential proxies. We were being hit sufficiently hard that the server had stability issues and we were penalised by Google.

Tons of ads.

This is great for users, but it’s terrible for the SEO of those independent wikis as you’re telling Google you want to click on Fandom and Fextra links.

/edit

It appears this is no longer the case and the extension does things a lot better than it used to!
