Remember when Eli Lily lost billions because an account with a blue check mark pretending to be them said they were giving insulin away for free?

That’s somebody’s SSN maybe (I just typed random numbers and added dashes). Knowing an SSN alone doesn’t enable a crook to do much of anything. They need to tie it to other information which proton presumably has. Now if I told you that number belonged to John Doe of Walla Walla, WA with this yahoo email and that September birthday, now an identity can be stolen with ease.
People are abusing Google’s ad distro platform to get malware onto people’s machines. I see Microsoft signed up for the same firestorm of possibilities.
On a bigger scale, I think it’s all wasted money. Maybe its the autism, but the more I see a company name, any company name, the less I want it in my house.
With even the FBI recommending adblockers maybe ads aren’t the thing we should prop up our economy with. They don’t work, people hate them, and now even passively ignoring them isn’t an option. But I don’t know if the world can operate on the Patreon model.
The problem with federation is there’s always that person who believes an article should be posted in 50 communities and then there’s no escaping it. I’m tired of seeing this article as I scroll.
What all the conservative communities keep telling themselves about their post scores
Oh hey, I might start playing again.
My most recent complaint is about index mappings. I have 2 types in 2 different indexes that each have a field with the same name. One index has a hand written mapping. The other index is currently under active development and doesn’t have a mapping for it yet so it’s built automatically. When I insert into the index WITHOUT a mapping, the index WITH a mapping changes the field into a keyword and no further queries against the index WITH a mapping work. This also happens if I insert into the index WITHOUT a mapping before the other index is created. Why does the index WITH a mapping change?!? WE WROTE THE MAPPING FOR A REASON BUT ITS IGNORED!?!
Where are the creators? The cosplayers? The rube goldberg machines made out of post it’s and shot glasses? The “I draw pictures by playing notes on a piano” people? The people porting Doom to a yoga mat? The “I made a car out of thrown out Crocs” people? The “I built a treadmill for my friend’s overweight insects” people?
This is the stupidest shit I could think of but people are out there making and doing weirder/amazing-er things… Where are those people in Lemmy? I browse All and it’s just politics, linux, and shit posts.
ElasticSearch would make me drink if I drank
I wish more people knew about dtrx (Do The Right eXtraction).
I still blame Jeep for thinking a rotating selector was a good idea for a gear shifter. RIP Anton Yelchin.
At first I just thought you hated women, but your problem is much worse.
I’m glad to hear you’re having issues fitting in.
