Or serve a gzip bomb (is that possible?)

If I understand right that means link previews are requested every single time an user sees it? The instance should request it once a week, cache it and serve that to users

Moonrise2473 , 2 months ago to Privacy in Why Apple’s iPhone Browser-Choice Option Sucks

The average people don't know the concept of browser. I saw people using Google search (the app) as a browser. I saw people trying to login in their webmail using Google search (the app), then in order to see what photo they wanted to upload they went back to home by closing the WebView, watching the photo, then using again the Google search app to login in their webmail. Extremely infuriating, I wanted to die.

Yes but let's remember everyone that Apple did their "best" in this. If a developer makes a browser that doesn't use WebKit, then can publish that version only in Europe. For the rest of the world it's still forced to publish the usual "Safari skin". Basically doubling the work and the monetary cost of developing a browser.

No. First you always say "it's so easy to build a PC, you're dumb to get a console for gaming". Pay attention to always say this, even in unrelated circumstances

Then, after years of saying that "it's so easy", when your friend finally says "I finally want to build a PC, can you help me?", you drop this bomb

Resisting? It was a clear strategy: use VC money to give away something for free then charge/monetize to give back those investors all the money, with interests

During dating: "and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg..."

I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that "blur" is crashing the price of that jpg

It looks like that there's a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there's dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.

What a waste of compute energy

Moonrise2473 , 3 months ago to Privacy in Finally got rid of telegram, congratulations to me

Probably this might be related to why tencent removed cloud backups from WeChat. It used to be like telegram, when you login it loaded all the previous messages, now when you login using the sms confirmation code you need to ask (with a different chat app!) three friends to send you a session specific passcode and then all the previous chat history is wiped clean.

(It was a problem to login back to me as I didn't have three friends)

Moonrise2473 , 4 months ago to Privacy in Act now to stop WordPress and Tumblr selling your content to AI firms

Why would someone pay to train a LLM on Tumblr???

At least Google paying for reddit content, would have something useful mixed with all the memes.

But Tumblr would definitely poison the results

I noticed now that tether (a crypto coin that claims to be 100% backed by USD) printed 10% of what the fed printed in 2023.

And a similar amount for usdc

Surely all those freshly printed crypto coins are backed by real dollars
