@bmacDonald94@bruce A lot of webdevs use CDNs from google to distribute stuff like jquery and what not else frontend stuff.
If you want to specifically block the sign-in related stuff leading to google I'd recommend blocking something like accounts.google.com .
You can do this by adding it to your hosts file (/etc/hosts on mac/linux, C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows), looking something like this:
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate how there is not a single ad or paid account optimization algorithm or whatever in this place, you can just go to this social media platform of all things, with no adblocker on an unpatched windows xp box, and expect a good time, hop on some IRCs and the experience is complete. this is truly the internet like it's 2001, this feels like home :wvrnFlat:
@SuperDicq if you're a user, yes I wouldn't recommend to use windows, but producers of DRM software or companies that use DRM and anticheat and what not, enjoy the kernel level restrictions they can put in place, if that access gets removed that would be one less reason for them to lean on windows.
Dear everyone who throws childish fits about the EU's mandate to attach bottlecaps to drink containers:
𝓢 𝓴 𝓲 𝓵 𝓵 𝓲 𝓼 𝓼 𝓾 𝓮
Sincerely, someone who can't believe this amazing feature wasn't there before and is now never mixing up or losing or having to put a bottlecap down anywhere anymore because the bottle is now finally a single unit, and absolutely can't believe there are people out there that get triggered by such a minor change. :dragon_sip:
"hububuh I want to decide what I do with my bottles"
1) Humans lost that privilege and if you don't understand why then just go check out any fucking beach or hiking trail or average street or literally anywhere on this fucking planet because our plastic waste littering is only getting bigger every year, maybe just buy a different type bottle if it bothers you so much?
2) Nobody took away your ability to manipulate the bottle, just don't fucking litter
I got a trophy that might upset some people here. But I'm still proud of it because we do a lot of good work that gets snowed under the negative attention around LLMs, which is only a tiny fraction of actual AI. Just look up stuff like GraphCast and AlphaFold that are decreasing power usage for entire fields of science while simultaneously advancing them by decades.
People: radiation baed, 5G baed, LTE baed, phones scary Also people: *goes to the beach specifically to bake in the ionising radiation despite getting significant cancerous radiation burns in the process* Also people: *buys 400THZ photon radiation emitting 100W transmitter specifically to enjoy the warm feels of this "infrared lamp"*
There are few things that make me feel like an alien visitor as much as seeing people do this and being unable to wrap their minds around why I find that funny 👽
@arstechnica hahaha forget RAGs, knowledge graphs, fact checking APIs, hybrid models, dynamic memory networks, etc etc, Apple has figured it all out! just tell them not to hallucinate! ez pz truly redefining AI as Apple Intelligence :woozy_clown:
Microsoft spinning an EU antitrust regulation as a reason for Crowdstrike's issue causing the entirety of Windows to shit the bed, is such incredible offensive balony just wow
1) you cannot do anything in windows without kernel access because windows is a piece of shit 2) this has always been the case, antivirus isn't new 3) neither is it new that it can cause the entirety of Windows to shit the bed, because they don't do the basic fucking check whether something is loadable before doing so 😭
I would really hate if people's takeaway from this is going to be "antitrust pro consumer regulations are bad akshully" because the absolute last thing we need is for Microsoft to get even more dominance over their DRM As A Platform
