They updated their description of how their search engine works. The new description is still factual, while being slightly easier to understand. The new description also has some fancy marketing flair. They still make it pretty clear that they use other search engines via anonymous calls.

I wouldn’t call that shady at all… Unless maybe I’m completely missing the point here.

I think this is a fairly benign move with a valid explanation that has been taken out of context in order to be more inflamitory

Wow. The L2 is 16 times larger than what I have now. I can’t imagine the breakneck performance.

Not the best? I like high effort posts and comments…

I used to follow /r/Canadianhousing2 on reddit. Very right wing, conservative, simplistic views on the housing crisis in Canada. I realized eventually it was a cesspool of hate and racism and stopped.

This is an awesome idea. Subscribed. You should do a starting post in January as a reminder!

I have a TP-Link router. Maybe I’m an idiot, but I searched around for a bit and I literally could not find which models of router were effected. All articles about Botnet-7777 are frustratingly vague with this.

Funny enough I never used Lemmy without a private instance, so I wouldn’t know!

Every retail worker’s nightmare

That’s awesome! I’m glad it mostly all works for you. I was looking for an OS for a TV-gaming setup sort of thing and it might be Bazzite now. I use Lutris/Wine for most of my games instead of Steam, I find it easier to troubleshoot. Also lol @ so many games with “2” in them haha.

Good catch! The POG is always in the comments.

Hmm, I’ve never tried Bazzite. Have you tried Ubuntu/can you offer a comparison to it? I play only on Ubuntu and games compatibility is like 80% hit and 20% miss.

Less power on the side of the host computer or the mouse?

Fucking Veggietales predicted this

What do you mean? Have you never had one?

Creativity flows when people are bored

The closest thing I can think of the archive @ Wayback machine. It’s more of a manual way of seeing snapshots rather than diffs.

The article is light on details about the exact allegation. I’d be very interested to hear exactly Facebook planned to store and use the data, what kind of data it was anyways, and how it could have improved their bottom line. If we can find how they are using this to make more money then maybe it’s possible to cut off the opportunity at the source.

In addition to what everyone else has said in the comments, I find that the posts on Lemmy are far more creative. It’s akin to browsing people’s blogs vs Medium articles.
