While we're talking about stuff that didn't happen, I'm sure glad the Steelers are headed to the Super Bowl.

They're putting these crappy ads e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. The quality of ads on YouTube has fallen to somewhere beneath the sewer, just as YouTube has launched a scorched-earth campaign against adblockers. Scams, celebrity impersonation, A

> “If you want to build something people will use, don’t build anything,” he said. “Build an ad and see if people click it. Then only build something once it gets a lot of clicks.” Well no wonder your Google ads keep getting banned.

There's no indication that Trump is a multi-billionaire but the rest of your comment is spot on.

And not a true one, either. I don't know what the hell Reddit is doing the past couple of weeks but they seem determined to completely destroy themselves, and quickly.

O'Boyle isn't a whistleblower; he's an insubordinate employee who refused to do his job and was improperly distributing information about investigations.

Will this not be subject to the same limitations reddit is imposing on RedReader and others? I guess I don't know enough about how they distinguish a "third-party app" versus a website hooking into their API.

If Cloudflare has decided that Firefox is a "non-mainstream browser" and is applying a penalty to its users, then Cloudflare is the problem.

Yes, this is annoying as hell. It's gotten to the point where I just close out of a site when I see that interstitial come up.

Are you saying that the SacBee article is misrepresenting something to "manipulate" people? What does it purport to be true that's not true? The only problem GPT is fit to solve is an empty hard drive you'd like to have

Complying with US federal law does not equate to acting as an agent of the US government, no matter how many times this trope may be repeated.

The government hasn't created a list of no-no words, they've created a list of entities with whom US Persons cannot conduct financial transactions. I don't know what "ALEP" is but you can be sure it refers to some o

Slight correction: alleging Donald Trump's government was doing unconstitutional acts. Which we know they did, in spades, in other contexts; but I've seen no evidence in the "Twitter files" to indicate anything illegal

httpd is the one service I don't use fail2ban for, preferring a DIY solution instead. I created an Apache config file with rewrite conditions to catch a bunch of "exploity" URI parts, abusive user-agent strings, referer spam

I don't think "everyone else" has been banned from Facebook; aside from Trump, I can't think of any other American elected official they've banned. Gab and Parler both work fine in a web browser.

The pragmatic answer is: because the law says so. The technical answer is: Verizon can't hear what you're saying to your mom, so they don't know/care the content. The social answer is: ultimately there's no real dif

I wouldn't go so far as useless, but they frequently exhibit significant inaccuracy, no matter which vendor/service you use. It's not unusual for me to query 7 APIs and be told the user is in 7 different cities spanning 5 sta

Twitter, though, at least has moderators, and makes an effort to remove threatening content from its service. The speed and efficacy of Twitter's abuse team is a topic for debate, but they have (and enforce) policy. Parler famously h
