  • Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

    Jump

  • IT does? Damn, didn't know - my bad. Where I'm from IT doesn't have the keys, and the people that do have the keys know better than to try entering people's dorms, unless it's really something critical. Wifi doesn't qualify.

  • Student dorm does not allow wifi routers

    Jump

  • Some WiFi routers can be configured to not advertise their network; annoying because you'll have to manually enter the network information on every device, but it might keep you from getting caught.

    Just name the network something like Samsung S20 Personal Hotspot. They're not gonna look into why a student created a Hotspot with their phone.

    Or, shit - lock the fucking door.

  • Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

    Jump

  • Ah, but what you don't know is that my TOS for when I watch a video is that if the video is bound by TOS, those employed by the company establishing the TOS are pedophiles and child abusers and I reserve the right to shoot them on sight.

    This is clearly printed on my router, the megabytes can read it when they enter my room. I also have it somewhere in a doc file on my laptop that's been uploaded to my Google drive, as well as on this lemmy post that is unrestricted to the public. Google and any other entity have access to read this whenever they want.

    Time to go shoot some child molesters, yeah?

    Sidenote: I fucking hate people bringing up TOS. Any contract signed by one party is applicable to exactly that one single party, and my signature is vastly different from a mouse click.

  • specialization is for insects

    Jump

  • Haha what a load of shit. Generalists are useful on a day-to-day basis, while specialists advance civilization. They're both useful in their own way, cause I can't do anything with a rocket scientist if I wanna change my spark plugs and my man has no idea how cars work, but to claim one is better and the other is garbage? You think humanity is ever inventing the telephone if it's only your average ass around? Fuck outta here.

  • If you need food to survive, you should get food. If you need guns and ammo to opress others, you should get the ammo. Flying at you. Really fast. Until you stop needing things.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • So your theory is that women were the hunters, because they're faster after 200 miles? These people walked like 10-20 miles a day, and had to carry the food back home so that everyone else could eat. You imagine them going on month-long expeditions, carrying dead animals for 2 weeks back home? Are they also carrying mini fridges to keep the meat from spoiling?

    I'm trying to even, but I can't.

  • Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests

  • There are many reasons for why some teachers do some things.

    We should not forget that one of them is "because they're useless cunts who have no idea what they're doing and they're just powertripping their way through some kids' education until the next paycheck".

  • Mr.Beast Hires Elon Musk's Favorite Attorney to Fight Sociopath Claims

    Jump

  • Of course law doesn't work that way. Law is inherently complicated because it needs to be abused only by those with the proper resources. Also - literally nobody fucking cares how the law works unless it's a step between where you are and where you need to go. At which point rich people will hire others to get over the step, and poor people will just jump over the step. Rich people will get away with it and get a slap on the wrist, and poor people will suffer the full wrath of the system, to make sure everyone else knows it's for real and doesn't question the authority of those in charge. Rich people are free, poor people are held hostage within the system and cannot break out. Law doesn't establish morality of actions or justice, it doesn't prevent or punish what society deems evil, it just separates those who can get away with their actions from those who can't.

    Kill your masters.

  • Mr.Beast Hires Elon Musk's Favorite Attorney to Fight Sociopath Claims

    Jump

  • Hey, man... I like playing devil's advocate as much as the next guy, but maybe Jimmy's got enough money to hire his own, yeah? Not to mention that the stuff you come up with is pretty weak.

    Should everyone on the sex offender registry be jobless forever, or what is the point?

    Should I be hired as a mechanic if I've ever tampered with cars before? Should I be hired in finance if I ran a ponzi scheme? Should I be hired producing content for children if I raped an 11 year old? Yeah, some questions are absolute mysteries.

    There is tons of people criticizing him and I only heard about one cease and desist.

    The man literally has you sign an NDA to work for him. That's attempt to silence.

    That DogPack guy seems to have created his YouTube channel solely to attack MrBeast, do we have anyone more trusted?

    I trust a labrador retriever to retrieve better than other dogs. Who would you like to have on Jimmy's heels? The pope? Trump? There's nobody that can't be discredited or dismissed with a "that guy's just a

    <random insult>

    trying to hurt MrBeast.“

    I have a feeling the DogPack guy has an agenda and isn't offering an objective view.

    Oh, great. What an objective assessment to go on - your feeling. Listen, unless it's a third party that is not involved in the situation, that is incorruptible and that is tamper proof, you won't find objective reality. All you'll find is a subjective view of past events. Consume both sides of the argument and make up your mind where exactly the truth is, cause it's probably somewhere in-between everyone's claims. Or don't, there is no reason to get involved in the subject.

    That being said - I am willing to believe someone who films themselves giving money to homeless people and uses it to get more money and views is a total fucking asshole whose basic mechanism of shame has been overridden by whatever type of greed made him turn into this soulless husk in the first place.

    I wonder how in the fuck some people just wake up one day and decide to themselves "today I'm gonna be retarded".

  • when she invited him to a lunch in September 2020, “to get some peace” from him sending “lots of messages” - he declined her offer.

    Ms Gasparova told the tribunal this was because “lunch involved romance and he only wanted sex”.

    Oh, honey. You're really gonna say the man is crazy about you but doesn't wanna go out with you in the same breath?

  • We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny

  • My bad, I didn't know we were building our own 'ship of Theseus' argument. I'm out, smarter people than me can discuss that one.

  • We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny

    Jump

  • It's the same algorithm. It has the same purpose and the same result. It has simply been updated and improved. And it most likely still relies on certain markers that can measure how much a post will be engaged with and who will do it, except those markers are now less primitive and harder for us to define.

    We're arguing semantics. This has always been the purpose of a social network: to keep you addicted to it. To keep you interacting with it. They don't make money if you're not there to click their ads, to look at their sponsored videos, to be marketed towards. Did they do it as well 10 years ago as they do it today? No, of course not. But you were still being targeted with posts that would "do well" with your gender, your age group, your location etc. They haven't changed one little bit of their business model.

    So what are we talking about here? Some guy discovered 10 years down the road that a company wants you to keep using their website/service/app/whatever, but he thinks 10 years ago that company was - what? More scrupulous? More genuine?

    Nah, man. It was always the same. They just got better at their jobs. And - fuck me, it sounds like they were pretty good at their jobs even 10 years ago: they managed to keep Joe Slow scrolling for an entire decade.

  • Holy shit, were you born yesterday?

    Social media was not a stew of shit a decade ago.

    Source: was a man on social media a decade ago and was not constantly bombarded with toxic shit.

    Lol imagine being on social media for 10 years and still complaining about the algorithm.

    Here's a post from 11 years ago explaining how you were being targeted and how engagement was measured back then:

    Facebook has a hierarchy of post types, since some types garner more engagement than others. Photos and videos take top priority. Links are second, and plain text status updates are at the bottom end. Weight doesn’t end there, though.

    Interaction from other users can also affect this. For instance, comments are more weighty than likes, but both affect the overall weight of the post. So a text-based status update with 50 likes and 10 comments will be more likely to show up in the Newsfeed than a photo with no engagement at all.

    Source (actual fucking source, as in an article written Aug 13, 2013, instead of your personal experience from the last decade): https://buffer.com/resources/understanding-facebook-news-feed-algorithm/

    So, in those 10 years you've been on social media (congrats on the milestone btw, maybe you'll get a clue about the fucking world soon) what they've been doing has not changed, it's merely been perfected. But yeah, sit there and tell me all about how your rose-tinted glasses are ackshually great and don't distort your view, and you're not just a mindless cunt that's been zucking the zuck's dick for the last 10 years, scrolling through shitty posts meant to make you click them. "things were better back in the day" lol gtfo dumbass it's always been the same, it just took you 10 years to notice.

    What an actual waste of my time.
