Here are my boobies:

Web browsers have a huge attack surface, and are most people’s main exposure to potential exploits. Without javascript, 99% of the attack surface disappears, becuase the attacker no longer has a way to run arbitrary code.

A lot of terminal-based browsers don’t do javascript.

If I want to scrape a page, this makes it a pain for both parties. I’m not an AI company, so I can afford the hash tax, but it’s still a pain to spin up Firefox from a from cron job instead of wget. And I’m still doing it, Anubis doesn’t stop small time scrapers like me who aren’t running AI training, and only scrape like one page per day. So now the server has to serve the original page, plus all the Anubis stuff each time my crown job goes off.

It sucks that you can’t browse anywhere without javascript anymore. It used to be that all the open source sites, most news sites, forums running phpbb, even YouTube aside from the actual <video> element all worked without javascript, and as a bonus there would be no ads.

Now, you can’t browse anywhere without these challenges. At least this one is noninvasive, but the Cloudflare one and the Google Recaptcha do a ton of fingerprinting to choose whether to let you in.

USPS has a home-rolled one that requires web assembly enabled, or it silently fails with a blank page. There’s no non-malicious excuse for that.

If this is the future of web browsing, hopefully more sites use systems like Anubis. But I also hope at least static pages can be viewable as plain html.

You have no idea why they downvoted.

Most zionists are not settlers. To be clear, killing settlers can be justified as defensive, so nobody should be banned for a name like “Kill All Zionist Settlers”. But there are like 800k settlers, and hundreds of millions of zionists. You can’t ethically kill someone just for having an opinion, even a reprehensible opinion, if they don’t even act on it.

Who is “FHF”? If the reasons stated in the modlog are true, these seem justified.

I’ve had a consistent antizionist stance and never got banned from lemmy.world. You can’t advocate murdering zionists who aren’t actively involved in murder themselves.

Their proof doesn’t prove anything if they control the hardware and software scanning your biometrics.

Trump tells Iran to sign deal with US or ‘the whole country is going to get blown up’

This sort of implies nuclear war. And nuclear war implies global nuclear war, which implies apocalyptic nuclear war. Though it’s not totally clear. If the US nuked Iran, other nuclear powers may respond with non-nuclear weapons on the US.

Hopefully it’s just another tantrum, and he’ll forget his threat like last time.

A lot of apocalyptic themed comics on Lemmy’s front page today. I wonder why /s

There are some people who do that. Just driving on the steel rims of their cars. But they usually take it a step further, driving on roads that are also made of steel.

Probably order a Digikey catalog. Do they still make printed catalogs? No idea. Then I’d download as many Kicad libraries as I could find.

I’d scrape, as best I can, the online stores of anywhere I’d expect to need to buy from. Hopefully they’ll set up phone lines to order through.

I’d download as many Steam games as I could fit, starting with the smallest. I have a bunch that I got from sales for like a dollar, and haven’t played yet. I’d probably try to organize LAN parties for Factorio, Total Warhammer, Phasmophobia, and 7 Days to Die. I’d get a crack for Steam, to let me play all my games offline. I know it has an offline mode, but sometimes it doesn’t work, and asks you to sign in, so I’d have the crack ready in case offline mode stopped working.

I’d download full disc sets of Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Fedora (which I’ve never run, but maybe I’d try). The full sets, the ones with every single package, so I could install any package I wanted without Internet access.

I’d find a local Linux users group, so I could bring my questions there instead of web searching. And help others with their questions when they can’t web search either.

I’d find books and videos to watch, by going to torrent sites and sorting by seeders.

will likely hurt the wealthy in the long run with decreased profits. They don’t care about the long term though.

The ultra wealthy don’t care as much about their own wealth, as much as the ratio of their wealth to the average person. Most billionaires would accept a decrease in their own quality of life in exchange for a bigger decrease in the average quality of life

I dunno, but it’s not like this.

I’ve tried supporting multiple news sites, but it’s always something. Like the site just crashing before I can get to pay, or an endless captcha, or my credit card being rejected as sussy, but the credit card company claims they haven’t declined anything. I’ve tried multiple credit cards, multiple computers, Firefox and Chromium, always the same.

The Onion is the closest thing to news I successfully paid for.

But Harris actually had a lower chance of winning than a hypothetical Harris-without-genocide candidate.

“Stop supporting Israel’s genocide” is something America could handle in 2024.

Castielsprostate has been using HP inkjet printers for too long. They need to get a Brother laser printer.

In 1991, lithium-ion batteries cost around $9,200 per kilowatt-hour — 33 years later, they cost just $78.

Where can I get lithium-ion batteries for $78 per kilowatt-hour?

Steam and itch.io are the only ones that treat Linux users as first class citizens.

Steam, itch.io, and GOG are the only ones that offer any Linux games at all.

This affects SD cards, which are extremely common and supported by open source operating systems. This affects Compact Flash cards, which use the same protocol as PATA hard drives, just a different connector.

Hey it’s me!

I’m not an expert on relationships, but here’s some car advice:

A driver is always responsible for their passengers’ safety. If he doesn’t care about your safety, as shown by driving 30MPH over the limit, by passing illegally, and by saying “I just don’t care about your safety”, you should never ride with him again unless he shows some serious changes.

Getting out of the car was the right move. Don’t let anyone guilt you for that.
