Unfortunately, opting-out isn’t the privacy win you think it is. Next time you go to the security checkpoint at an airport, I want you to look up and note the number of security cameras on the ceiling. It would be a trivial task to scan your face using one of those cameras and match it to your identity using the timecodes in the cameras along with the timestamps on the ID card scanner.

The porn industry, like many industries, is very exploitative of those who do the actual work.

A lot of the other replies here are very cynical about simps, loneliness, etc but a much more optimistic view of it is adult performers gaining complete control over their careers. They get to decide their own schedules, exactly what kind of content they want to make, keep (almost) all of the money that their content generates, and maintain ownership of their content.

There’s a documentary called “Rise of OnlyFans” that was pretty shittily produced, but I learned some pretty wild things from the interviews in it, e.g. when they did a shoot for a normal porn studio, they would only get paid $100 FLAT for a video that would take several hours to make. Like yeah, that’s more than minimum wage, but they’re certainly not shooting every day and that’s peanuts compared to what the video generates in revenue

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own

I don’t have aphantasia but I still skip over descriptions. It just doesn’t really add anything for me. Much more interested in dialogue and actions

Couldn’t resist… the gif suits nearly any situation

It’s this attitude that drives meme culture into the ground. Like no, memes arise because they convey a specific feeling in a specific context. You just want to use the same picture to respond to everything because you have no personality

I used to have that problem with ln until I realized it’s essentially the same ordering as cp: source, then destination. The source being the existing file that you’re linking to, and the destination being the link that you’re creating

Video container types (.mkv, .mp4) are different from encoding types (x264, 265)

For both, the “best” or “better” is gonna depend on your use case. .mkv is nice because they bundle multiple video tracks, audio tracks, and subtitle tracks all into one file, but .mp4 is pretty much guaranteed to be playable on anything (although the number of devices that don’t support .mkv is pretty small at this point)

x265 is nice because the quality:file size ratio is much better than x264, but again, compatibility is an issue because x265 is still somewhat new, so older devices probably won’t support it.

As you can probably tell, I prefer .mkv + x265 whenever possible, but that’s only because every device I own can play them

Ah yes, the production of the broadcasts is creative work

Can someone explain to me how copyright, something meant for creative works, is allowed to be applied to athletes playing a fucking game? Like the athletes themselves holding the copyrights would be one thing, but the fact that they’re held by some crusty old English dudes who can’t kick a ball without throwing their back out is crazy

Those guys are older than me but the extent of my education on the matter was basically that Germany was experiencing a lot of poverty and inflation and stuff until Hitler came along and stole everyone’s hearts with his charisma

WWII, and actually the entire 20th century except for some civil rights stuff, was actually hardly covered in history class at all. But boy oh boy did we cover our Revolutionary War about 8 times over, and our Civil War like 5 times over. Most of my knowledge about WWII comes from family members and the History Channel (back when it was about history)

This is what I use to download game replays from NFL+, because they don’t have a download function for whatever reason

The platform is definitely part of the problem. Bending over backwards to serve the desires of the Trump administration and the executive class

They said they’re new to Lemmy, so they’re probably used to redditors, and anyone still on that platform is very much not okay

Nicole is on a mission to single-handedly skew those stats

Sorry if this has already been discussed but is anyone else worried that “Nicole’s” pictures are from the webcam on a compromised computer? They’re always from the same angle and she’s not really posing for most of them

Voyager is available as a PWA

Something I’m not understanding is how these payloads even get executed. In “First Stage” in Figure 3, it explains that the user is redirected to a Github repo and then the payload is downloaded, but how exactly does it go to the second stage from there? I would assume the user has to be dumb enough to double-click on the payload that got downloaded, but the article makes it sound like this all happens automatically after clicking the initial ad link

It’s weird because Best Picture is usually given to movies that aren’t necessarily entertaining but are artistically interesting. Not sure what is artistically interesting about a romance movie, the genre is just cheesy comfort entertainment

The site is also important as a key content supplier to other torrent sites though its upload bots. Interestingly, those bots are still operational, unlike during previous downtime periods.

This tells me it’s likely a temporary technical issue

Hopefully 🥺
