Oh no. :( Well, I will avoid robot mowers for sure, then.

I really like Yacy’s results, personally. It seems good for the kinds of sites I care about. My biggest problem with it is that the newest version is so memory-hungry.

That’s exciting!

I was just thinking, do these have some technology that they use to avoid running over animals? Based on your comment, it sounds like they don’t.

I picked up a few that I’ve been wanting to try.

That was probably the smart way to do it, anyway.

This is what I did. I set up autoresponse giving out an address that redirects to my new email address. My parents called me to see if I was hacked. Everyone else just started using the new address.

I think it would be worthwhile, and probably help some people.

This is what I did.

I’m talking about random websites that people visit to see what they are, as one does.

Making a blog and thinking that people owe you money to be on the receiving end of your unasked-for opinions/advice is ridiculous. You can talk to people around you and get that for free.

And there’s even less reason to pay a company that you have an existing business relationship with to access their website, since you’re paying them already.

And the person calling someone else a shit parent uses it for surveillance.

Yes, this is frustrating. You lose power and there’s no way to communicate.

I think their experience is very relevant. It illustrates perfectly that kids don’t need to be immersed in technology from a young age to become proficient at it later in life, if it’s beneficial to them.

Yeah, me too.

I pay money to a person or company in order to receive a good or service which is defined and negotiated ahead of time.

Someone I don’t know making a website I didn’t ask for isn’t doing anything for me, and doesn’t have my agreement or consent.

That’s fine as long as they aren’t expecting me to pay them for it. Expecting money for actions taken on someone else’s behalf without their consent is a scam.

Oh, I guess I was thinking of a different site with a similar name. I know there is a website that lets you use magic wormhole to transfer files. I thought it was called Wormhole, too.

I’ve been blocked by fraud protection when trying to buy pet food at a pet store next to my house, trying to buy fast food while visiting a friend in another city, trying to buy two cell phones in one day because the first one was out of stock and was refunded, trying to buy software from any company headquartered in another country, trying to buy crypto, trying to buy health supplements from a friend’s company.

Supposedly, when they suspect fraud, you get an automated call where you can indicate a charge is legitimate and they’ll let it go through, but I rarely got a call, and when I did, purchases that I marked as legitimate still wouldn’t go through.

I talked to a real person with the fraud department, and she had no idea why the charges were being blocked, since, according to her, they should’t have been. But also, there was nothing they could do about it.

I hope it’s successful at changing things.

SimpleX public rooms work smoothly, IMO, but a lot of rooms have problems with casual Nazism and general rudeness. Some are more moderated than others. I gave up on groups eventually and just use it to talk to people I know.

That happened to both my home server and the OpenSUSE rooms at different times. My home server took it seriously, and quickly made changes to prevent it from happening again, but I still had 20+ invitations with pedo images to delete one by one.

I suggested to the dev of the nheko client that they add some way to deal with spam invites, and they didn’t see any necessity for that. Just told me to delete them one by one.
