I’m willing to give it a try at least once if I get to haggle with the cashierbot over the price of my cheeseburger.

In my feed people who post stuff every hour get blocked or unfollowed, unless it’s really good stuff.

You’d think that “no AI” would be an easy feature to implement, and it’s much in demand. Strange that it seems to be beyond the abilities of so many software developers.

Weird that Myspace is still “owned” by someone when it’s spent so long not being a thing that exists.

The memory clock might be measured differently — base clock speed vs “effective” memory clock. Anyway my 6600 running Furmark also says 875 and does about 92 fps without trying to optimize anything.

The hacker news discussion is surprisingly not bad. Very few Google stans coming in to shill for their corporate masters, and they’re getting soundly ignored and downvoted.

I wonder how Cloudflare estimates the increased rate of false positives they’re getting after they made their bot detector even more oversensitive in recent weeks. It no longer likes my default javascript-enabled browser profile and I don’t always bother to load another one when I get cloudflared, so >50% of visits from me are “bots”.

They tried that. Don’t underestimate the progress already made towards building the Great Firewall of Britain. I guess the main problem was that when the blocking was optional, too many people chose to opt out.
