TootSweet,

I wonder if some companies making this move ("replacing workers with AI") aren't just laying people off and then publicly talking about AI for publicity without any real intention to use AI.

That seems particularly likely with regard to IBM's similar move not long ago. For them, saying "we're replacing staff with AI" instead of "we're laying people off" is basically marketing Watson.

TootSweet,

I've noticed the same on the web UI. Searching a non-local community more often doesn't work than does.

TootSweet,

I'm on latte.isnot.coffee and I just searched both !jerboa@lemmy.ml and https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa and didn't get results for either. Neither has a message saying that there are no search results, but neither shows any results either.

Screenshot of latte.isnot.coffe community search interface showing no results and no "no results" message for the search term "https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa"

TootSweet,

I've seen both of those behaviors as well, but more often than those, it just never displays results.

TootSweet,

One important aspect of D&D "rules" is that theoretically there's no specific limit on what your character can attempt. If you say your character attempts something the DM thinks clearly impossible or trivially easy, they may not even have you roll for it. "You plant your hands firmly at the base of the mountan and push and grunt, but you fail to move it noticeably." "You squash the cockroach easily under your boot."

YSK: you may be able to add your children as authorized users on your credit cards.

Why YSK: Some banks have no minimum age for authorized users, and report credit usage for them. If you have a credit card you don't use much, you can add your kids as authorized users, set up a reoccurring payment from the card and an automatic payment to the card, and then forget about it. Your kid could become an adult with an...

TootSweet,

Also, it's a double-edged sword. Don't be adding your kid as an authorized user for convenience and then surprised pikachu when their credit report raises flags for big debt with no income (like my parents did.) An authorized user isn't just someone who can use the card. Their credit score is affected by any card they're authorized on.

TootSweet,

If you login in a browser, it'll most likely give you a "session cookie" that you should be able to see in the developer tools. (If you're using Firefox's developer tools, it'd be under the "storage" section.) The name of the cookie will generally have the word "session" in the name. After logging in, that cookie identifies you to the server, letting the server know that "this particular request is from CucumberSalad" (or whatever your user is named on that service.) Wget probably hasn't been working because the requests from wget don't include that cookie like the requests from your browser do.

(Just looking at my developer tools while using Lemmy, it seems like the Lemmy web ui doesn't use session cookies but rather a JSON web token in a cookie named "jwt", but I think that cookie would suffice if I was trying to scrape the Lemmy web ui.)

Once you have the proper cookie name and value, you can have wget send the cookie to the server with each request by adding the flag --header 'Cookie: <cookie name>=<cookie value>' (but replace the values in angle brackets. Example: --header 'Cookie: JSESSIONID=ksdjflasjdfaskdjfaosidhwe'.)

Also, if you can provide more info as to what you're trying to scrape, folks can probably help more. Hopefully what I've given you is enough to get you going, but it's possible there might be more hurtles to jump to get it working.

Struggling with all-or-nothing mindset

I have been trying to take my digital privacy more seriously as of late, but I find myself falling into a cycle of all-or-nothing. I will do a little bit to improve my privacy and then will suddenly feel like I need to go full-on down the rabbit hole. This leads to burnout, and then I'll convince myself that it's all futile and...

TootSweet,

Not sure I have much of a solution, but if it makes you feel better you're not alone. I do the same thing. Right now I'm back on an "improving my privacy" kick, but I to tend to get burned out and get more lax.

Am I the only one having a mini existential crisis for the fact the Reddit is dying?

Like for the past few years, browsing reddit is basically a daily routine for me. Now Reddit is dying, I feel like a part of me died. A website filled with many years of content... will soon be gone. I heard rumours that they are planning to purge the site of "undesirable" content before their IPO. I fear same thing will happen...

TootSweet,

I expected to feel a lot of grief, but Lemmy has matured extremely quickly even since I joined like 4 days ago or so and at this point I'm just excited.

TootSweet,

My Android smartphone is weird. On purpose. I don't run proprietary apps on my phone. So no Play store, for instance.

I opened a bank account lately and when I walked in and told them I wanted to open a bank account they were like "ok, first you install the app." And rather than saying "fuck no I don't want you assholes snooping on my phone" I said "my phone is a little weird and it's not going to be straightforward to get your app installed on my phone."

And they kindof pressured me to prove it to them. Show them all my apps to prove I didn't have the play store. Scan their QR code and download it manually (which I think only didn't work because I (purposefully) opened the download with the wrong app.)

Next time I'm in a situation like that, Imma be like "I'll make this real simple for you. I'm not installing your app. Now do you still want my business or shall I take my business elsewhere?"
