It’s a combination.

Most captchas goals generally aren’t 100% prevention, it’s to put a workload in front, this makes spamming the site cost money, a bankrolled attempt could just as easily outsource the captchas to real humans.

DNS sinks can often cause elevated traffic numbers because the client is constantly failing and retrying.

I bet if you enabled it to test the numbers would drop dramatically.

So an HDMI connected device that is streaming Netflix is getting screenshot?

I mean, even if it wasn’t a streaming service, but let’s say, video game content, or a blu ray, that is still a violation, and of course, if I’m playing content I made, then it’s violating my copyright.

If your video can be replaced by a title, it probably wasn’t with watching

I usually store food on them

I hate writing and reading xml compared to json, I don’t really care if one is slightly leaner than the other. If your concern is the size or speed you should probably be rethinking how you serialize the data anyway (orotobuff/DB)

Is a plate optical or magnetic?

You understand that the bread is in the bag already right?

No I don’t, care to share?

Facebook’s Shadow profile on you doesn’t care whether you have an account or visited their site.

Decentralization isn’t the reason, and conflating it with fediverse services is disingenuous.

The reason many cryptos use a lot of power is because of proof of work.

Proof of stake and proof of work have the same effective result for voting power. In order to effectively mine, you need a large capital investment and in order to stay competitive in mining you need to continue spending capital, the same is true for proof of stake as the larger overall stake the lower the payouts, so it requires more capital investment.

I don’t understand how they can disclaim liability for generated libel.

If person A googles person B and receives libelous information, person b was not the one using the service / agreeing to terms / otherwise in a contract, the company can’t just opt you in to an agreement that you had no participation in.

I mean, how do you think websites work? Of course your mouse and keyboard events are available, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to interact with a website at all.

You need to tell it to run the script

It’s overwhelmingly verbose, on mobile (at least in my app) I have to scroll two screen lengths to get past it thanks to all the embeds.

Zeitgeist could refer to the past though.

Nirvana was part of the zeitgeist of the 90s.

PGP can also do that, properly implemented, a PGP key with a large web of trust, can be just as effective at making immutable certified statements without having this weird cash based speech thing that crypto has going for it.

The fact that every single action you do with crypto involves spending money is ridiculous. I don’t mean the scams and stuff, I mean, every single thing, every transaction, every smart contract, every interaction, who wants to play around with a system that just pilfers your cash from you just for the privilege of exploring it.

At least with aws I can run code locally before they rob me.

Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can’t make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Why would a system meant to maximize the profit of the bar block out their best customers?

They only want to block fighters and predators because it hurts business, not for any moral reasons.

That’s not a USB drive, it’s an adapter.
