  • Reddit power users balk at chance to participate in IPO as Wall Street debut nears

    Jump

  • Ha they sent me the same message, and while I was not booted as a mod, I led the protest effort in a few subs that I modded in and helped out over in Save3rdPartyApps. I didn’t delete my account, just went silent after resigning when other mods got cold feet as soon as it started to get real.

  • It happens to me more and more these days as well.

  • I think your memory might be failing on this, because we’re about the same age and autosave wasn’t really a common feature in the 90s. MacOS didn’t introduce autosave until OSX Lion in 2010, and Microsoft’s auto-recover (which was their only feature even close to autosave until office365) wasn’t introduced until the 2000s and didn’t work properly until 2007.

    'Absolutely gross' maggots raining on passengers force flight to make U-turn

    Jump

  • That was probably because of the density of the cheese. I had the same thing happen to me with a bag of gnocchi once. They really thought it was something illicit because they had a big armed security guy on either side of me while they had me open it, and they looked really disappointed to find out what it really was.

    Jump

  • Because security is more concerned with finding weapons and drugs. Customs/Borders Enforcement is the group tasked with finding prohibited plants and animals, and they don’t usually start looking for those things until you get to the destination country.

    ‘I’m so scared, please come’: Hind Rajab, six, found dead in Gaza 12 days after cry for help

  • Not directly. They are mostly indoctrinated by Christians from the West. There is a common belief among Evangelical Christians that the Israeli state is a requirement (much like the Antichrist) for their god to rapture them all up to heaven and end the world through a fiery apocalypse.

  • I don’t honestly know his opinions on the matter, but politically, he has used Zionist language as well as anti-Zionist language depending on whichever is more convenient for him at the moment.

  • No. It seems you are assuming all Zionists are Jews, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most Christian Nationalists are also Zionists.

  • Donald Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack Nato countries who don’t pay ‘bills’

  • And that is why he was ok with Russia blackmailing him with the pee pee tape.

  • TIL Banksy snuck "cave art" into the British Museum as a hoax in 2005 and then they put it on display for real in 2018.

    Jump

  • What I want to know is how Banksy got it back after it was noticed on display in 2005. Did the museum give it back or sell it or just throw it away? Something had to happen in order for Bansky to loan it back to the museum over a decade later.

  • We Asked A.I. to Create the Joker. It Generated a Copyrighted Image.

    Jump

  • You’re completely missing the point. Making money doesn’t change the legality. YouTube was threatened by the RIAA before they even started showing ads. Displaying an image from a copyrighted work on an AI platform is not much different technologically than Voyager or even Google Images displaying the same image, and both could also be interpreted as “feeding you unlicensed content from others.”

  • "We have seen that you can embed viruses in the cartridges. Through the cartridge, [the virus can] go to the printer, [and then] from the printer, go to the network."

    Either this is complete bullshit or HP is over-engineering completely unnecessary vulnerabilities into their hardware. There’s no reason why a dumb ink cartridge (no DRM) would need any ability to send data to the printer other than very short messages (like a few bytes at most), so it should not be possible for an ink cartridge to give the printer a virus unless this vulnerability is the direct result of the new DRM-tracking additions.

    So HP is either malicious or incompetent, and regardless of which it is, I can’t see myself trusting another of their products ever again.

  • And Huffman’s programming skills weren’t even that great because they quickly brought in Aaron Schwartz to make it all work, yet they always conveniently leave him off of the founders’ list.

  • The fact that it doesn't work the same in every browser sounds a lot like anti-competitive fuckery.

  • Somehow I didn’t get the notification of your comment until now, but this rules. No one could possibly do that better than Jack Black.
