Experiencing nondualism randomly throughout each day has changed everything for me

Where’s the enshittification in macOS?

That was my thought too.

Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.

I haven’t read wired in a few years, and it looks like I haven’t missed anything.

Daily Mail?

Brass Eye was incredible for shining a light on media and political hysteria. Their episode on drugs was hilarious and tragic.

I have no idea why you’re getting down voted. It’s essentially true.

The arrangement is vital for Mozilla. According to the Mozilla Foundation’s 2021–2022 financial statement, which is the most recent one published, $510 million out of its $593 million in revenue came courtesy of Google’s search payments. https://fortune.com/2024/08/05/mozilla-firefox-biggest-potential-loser-google-antitrust-search-ruling/

This is just wrong. None of those will prevent server side ads.

I don’t think it’s earned by Murdoch, but otherwise agree with the sentiment.

It’s not fine. They are not archiving the internet.

I had to ban their user agent after very aggressive scraping that would have taken down our servers. Fuck this shitty behaviour.

2027 is a sunrise date, meaning retailers are expected to have updated their checkouts to support scanning the 2D Barcodes.

Industry has set a date to make the transition to accepting 2D barcodes at point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-care (POC) — referred to as Sunrise 2027. By the end of 2027, retailers would need to ensure their POS systems are equipped with scanners capable of reading both traditional barcodes and 2D barcodes. The shift has already begun with the new technology being tested in 48 countries across the world, representing 88% of the world’s GDP.

I sell GTINs in multiple countries that are already trialing 2D barcodes.

Oh, it is. GS1 are driving it and by 2027 all retailers around the world are expected to be able to scan the QR code at checkout instead of a traditional barcode image.

GS1 call it 2D Barcode. It’s a QR code that embeds a GTIN https://www.gs1.org/industries/retail/2D-barcodes

the embedded link goes to a resolver, the functionality of which they have released so anyone can build their own resolver system.

They’re replacing the ol’ EAN / UPC barcode on products too starting in 2027. IBN Link

What kind of dosage? I like 50mg THC.

The charges this guy is facing are insane.

Me too. I was about to post the same image.

Commodore’s management were way too incompetent for the Amiga to survive, unfortunately.

I never thought I’d find a connection between food forests and Super Hans, but here we are. Just one question: what was the bad thing?
