There are plenty of (likely apocryphal) stories of new Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) recruits being fed C4 and chased around with a stun gun. The old timers tell the new recruit that electricity will cause C4 to detonate. In reality, it’s a potent laxative and will give them the shits in a matter of minutes. So the recruit is stuck running away from a taser that they think will make them explode, while desperately trying not to shit themselves.
Yeah, just a tankie posting tankie things. Go back to your communist-apologist hole and leave the rest of us alone.
I wonder if they’ll accuse me of only watching Fox News because I called them a tankie?
Pretty much. It’s a tankie troll. Only way to solve the problem is to refuse to feed the troll.
Yeah, I used to work a job where I was basically on call for 6 hours at a time, but didn’t need to do much unless something broke. I’d help set things up at the top of the day then tear things down at the end. But in between, I was basically just waiting for things to break. It’s safe to say that I used the fuck out of my gaming laptop and VPN at my desk. Because I obviously didn’t want to try playing games on a company computer.
I played a lot of single player and idle games at that job, because those are easy to walk away from at a moment’s notice. Just hit pause and you can give your full attention to whatever problem has popped up. Then once it’s resolved, you’re right back where you left off.
Open exactly one email. Don’t bother reading it; That would put you into overtime. But you can at least commit to opening the email and waiting for it to load before you clock out for the year.
Yeah I got banned from /r/AskReddit for mass editing all my comments to something that included a Lemmy link before deleting. The automod perma-banned me from that sub (and several others) after the second edited comment.
My guess is that they had it set to send a warning first, then a ban on the second offense. But since I used a script to do it, both edits happened so quickly that it simply banned me on the second edit.
There was already one instance of an artist being banned from posting their work on /r/Art, because their art style resembled AI. Lots of the distinct swirls and swooshes that AI tends to have. They proved that the pieces weren’t made with AI, (and many of their pieces existed before the AI art boom) but the mods upheld the ban stating that since it resembled AI art it still violated their “No AI Art” rule.
Nope, self-hosted. So I know it didn’t get bounced off of a spam filter, because I control the spam filters.
There’s also the fact that a bunch of instances immediately closed registration as soon as the Reddit refugees started arriving. They couldn’t handle the sudden extra load, so they all closed their registrations. Which is their right as owners, but it also meant that virtually all the new users were funneled to the instances that were willing to expand, with Lemmy.World being one of the only ones.
Hell, I still haven’t received registration emails for most of the “we’re filtering our registrations. Click the link in your email to verify you aren’t a bot” instances I tried to register with.
Sure, but that wasn’t the question. They asked how to opt out of Intel’s telemetry gathering, since that’s the topic of the article. The article just happens to also mention nvidia and AMD, since they’re competing companies with similar products.
The installer has a checkbox for CIP, which is the data collection tool. Don’t install the CIP, and it won’t collect telemetry.
Double it and give it to the next person
Yeah, my brother lent my game disc to one of his friends. When that friend returned it, it looked like a cat had clawed all over it. It was so scratched that it wouldn’t read anymore, and the best scratch buffers in the world would’ve been useless.
Turns out, that friend had a known habit of leaving his game discs out on the floor and just walking all over them with his muddy shoes when he wasn’t actively playing them.
Yeah, it’s also really good at emulating poets. If there’s a poet you like, try having it write a poem about something new. Things like Edgar Allen Poe writing about mistrusting a fart on a subway, or Doctor Seuss writing about a furry gangbang.
Because the dude said the ships were piloted by non-humans, and that the pentagon took the non-human biological remains to experiment on. Like he didn’t outright say the word “aliens” but he 100% meant aliens.
Am I? This was a showerthought, by definition. The fact that it’s regarding another community is irrelevant.
Oh sick. My app wouldn’t let me set it up, so I figured someone else would at some point.
It’s Kellyanne Conway, the former senior advisor for Trump. Her job was basically to hold the press releases and try to keep the good PR going.
She’s the one that coined the term “alternative facts” when pressed about Trump’s team being proven to have lied about key topics.
Are you using a pihole? My pihole was filtering anything on catbox, which is one of the more popular image hosting sites here. It was causing exactly what you’ve described. Comment sections would load, but the content wouldn’t appear. Once I whitelisted it (and a few other popular hosting sites) the images appeared.
He was definitely odd, but even a broken clock is right twice a day; He hated what his old company has become, and at least owned up to the fact that he had a lady shit on his chest. When asked about it in interviews, he basically said something along the lines of “when you’re richer than God and have had sex with gorgeous women every day, things start to get stale and you look for more and more extreme things to get you going.”
He also 100% predicted that he was going to be Epstein’ed in a prison cell. He was very outspoken about the fact that he wasn’t suicidal and if he was ever found to have committed suicide, that it was a hit job. He specifically tweeted something along the lines of “if I’m ever found to have hanged myself, it wasn’t a suicide. It was a whack job.” He was found dead in a prison cell, with the death ruled a suicide by hanging. Which is either prophetic (he believed the US had a bounty on him, so he was very paranoid about getting murdered with the government covering it up,) or the best troll ever.
