I’ve had to do a lot of Jira captchas over time. They were so horribly ambiguous that I had a failure rate of about one in two. So I tried the audio captcha and was met with the sound of a demon being murdered and nothing else.

brisk,

I stumbled on this recently

friendlycaptcha.com

I can hardly claim to know enough about captchas to weigh up the cost / benefit, but I was delighted to come across a captcha that didn’t try to force me to train an AI

Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers. (lemmy.world)

So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work....

brisk,

I had no idea Sponsor Block was available as an FF addon. Any idea if it works on FF mobile?

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Peertube is a federated video sharing tool. I think the idea is generally that you host your own videos and federate to get viewed.

If you want to check out what’s generally available Sepia Search is pretty much the canonical search of federated peertube.

For an example of a general purpose instance that people can upload to, check out TILVids

For an example of a special interest instance, check out Blender Videos

As written the only person who could have communicated that story is Lot himself. Coming out of the desert with only your two daughters and two babies seems like it might be good motivation to embellish

brisk,

My only complaint is the suggestion that engineers like to be clear. My undergrad classes included far too many things like 2 cos 2 x sin y

brisk,

There’s a video introduction that talks a little about it and shows a bit of usage.

The canonical proprietary version of this is the SpaceMouse.

These are used in concert with a traditional mouse, with the 3d mouse being used for navigation of the 3d space. They have six degrees of freedom (as in, you can rotate in any axis or you can push it in any axis) so you can rotate and you can pan any which way with full control.

If you’ve ever gotten frustrated in a 3d program trying to figure out the correct sequence of rotations to get to your preferred view, that’s the use case the 3d mouse addresses.

brisk,

It’s becoming increasingly common for community spaces like public libraries to provide access to 3d printers, which is an awesome way to play around with the tech without full investment if you’re lucky enough to have something nearby.

Which EV manufacturer doesn’t use DRM or similar post-sale controls?

brisk,

There’s an Australian company targeting that market, although AFAICT is vapourware so far, and imo a little too low performance for the price

ace-ev.com.au

brisk,

Absolutely, there are a good few window managers designed to be standalone. I use AwesomeWM and i3 is very popular.

If you don’t need a full desktop environment it’s nice to have something that mostly stays out of the way.

This is the only thing I don’t like about that movie

Probably to get some other benefitof the PR system, such as CI tests

Given the crown has a policy of interfering with neither the decisions nor appointment of the Governor General, we could become a Republic without changing the practical power at all.

brisk,

The Jobseeker program has always been about punishing the poor. The sudden raise in payments and dropping mutual obligations when “normal” people were ending up on Jobseeker during covid was a blatant demonstration of that.

brisk,

Software wise, it’s not. The difference is in transparency and ownership

Target is also two completely different companies

brisk,

The popular impression of the blobfish as bulbous and gelatinous is partially an artifact of the decompression damage done to specimens when they are brought to the surface from the extreme depths in which they live

open hardware automated factory

This is just about my favourite sequence of words. Will you be publishing the progress of this project?

brisk,

What does “cookie-cutter” mean in this context?

brisk,

I’ve got two Linux boxes that I got new, different, wifi cards for recently. Turns out both those cards have the same Intel AX200 chip which has had a variety of problems causing frequent dropouts that the community has slowly nutted out since I’ve had them, including requiring a kernel patch.

The two big ones are a faulty default power saving mode, and problems talking to a Wireless n router when in WiFi 5 mode.

Rights holders ≠ artists

The meat is beef mince or minced beef (not ground). It’s formed into and cooked as a patty, which is one component of a delicious hamburger.

I think most people would say yes to “is a burger a type of sandwich” but that’s a very different question to would you call a burger a sandwich, which an Aussie would not.

Sepia Search is a global search of peertube content and it has a language filter

The SDA is infamous for fighting against the interests of workers under its umbrella.
