Stop on by !micromobility if you’re interested in ebikes, scooters, bicycles, skateboards, or whatever personal transport might interest you.

spacecowboy, to archaeology in Physics reveals secret of how nature helped sculpt the Great Sphinx of Giza

Neat!

MeatCat, to news in Feds tell automakers not to comply with Mass. “right to repair” law
@MeatCat@dubvee.org avatar

Faced with this dilemma, it’s quite possible the automakers will respond by simply disabling telematics and connected services for customers in the state.

So the automakers may disable a feature I neither need nor want.

Oh no! Anyway…

StewieTheThird,

🎶you got cheesey blasters🎶 Thanks meatcat!

TonyTonyChopper, to archaeology in I spy with my Cold War satellite eye... nearly 400 Roman forts in the Middle East
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

Don’t we have much better modern aerial photos?

Pons_Aelius,

The article goes into detail about that...

Many forts that Poidebard documented don't even show up in the 1960s and 1970s spy satellite imagery; the Dartmouth team only identified 36 of his original 116. "The attrition of the archaeological record has been substantial and these processes are unlikely to have slowed over the intervening decades," they wrote. They believe further research incorporating higher-resolution or even older satellite imagery should reveal many more Roman forts in the region

So they fell over? Got blown up? Buried in sand?

acockworkorange,

Yeah I don’t know what they mean exactly by “attrition of the archeological record” either, but I assume something like that.

Arotrios, to piracy in Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting

For all the Redditors now breathing a sigh of relief, grab a beer, take a load off, and remember, remember, the 5th of November.

Its a really bad idea to link directly to such sites, especially ones as good as this. You’ll just accelerate their demise.

ruination, to privacyguides in Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine

Say it louder for the people at the back: adblock is a basic cybersecurity measurs

disable unicode representation of these types of domains in firefox by flipping this setting (in about:config) from the default 'false' to TRUE:

network.IDN_show_punycode

so you see xn--80ak6aa92e.com instead of аррӏе.com

compare to (the real deal): apple.com

Wouldn’t you also be able to hover the link and check the URL in the bottom left?

MangoPenguin,
@MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Looks like it’s already flipped to true in Librewolf, glad they seem to have some common sense compared to mozilla.

Is there any good reason for a browser to mask the real URLs like that? There seems to be a trend of hiding parts of the URL people see lately.

Rentlar,

To have other languages able to be displayed in the title… e.g. wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/メインページ

People who use those characters benefit from it. I imagine 點看 is more useful than xn–c1yn36f to a Chinese person. That’s also why Google displays them that way.

It would be nice if browsers warned when International Domain Names were in use, and provided the option to disable punycode when first encountered.

9point6,

This is the big thing that should be happening, even just a little icon in the bar when it’s happening to switch between the two representations.

Turun,

Yes, because the internet is not restricted to English letters.

Just imagine you had to visit アップル instead of apple.com! And most importantly, would you trust yourself to see the difference that and say プッアル consistently without seeing the real reference?

Just to be clear, I hate it when the browsers hides part of the url too. Show me the https god damn! But internationalization is a good thing, as it makes the internet accessible to more people.

PixxlMan,

Stop it! The only words that matter are those that can be written in ASCII! The rest of the world just wants to scare you with gibberish letters!

AeroLemming,

Any way to fix this on mobile? about:config isn’t a thing.

In Firefox Nightly you can iirc

Onyx376,

Does anyone using Mullvad Browser know why this setting is not enabled by default? I just checked. If it is important for security it should be.

shotgun_crab,

Oh so that’s what punycode means, I always wondered what it meant

Ads are cancer. Google by being a company that makes most of its money from ads is cancer by extension.

Maeve,

It rapidly grew and became bad so yes.

bluGill,

They have failed one of their code jobs: validating advertisements are legitimate. I don't know why any legitimate company would advertise with google as you get associated with the scams they allow on their ad platform.

@Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That’s kinda crazy, as it would look like a speck on the screen. I wish I could see the actual site, and see if there is something else sus about it. When I download important things like password managers, I usually try to be extra careful, double check the URL and do the hash check.

Another reason to stick to your distro repositories. This should totally be disabled by default for modern browsers.

Can’t imagine why ublock is so popular

Melatonin, to privacyguides in Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine

The program doesn’t even need to change much. Just be keepass with a backdoor. Yikes.

Sounds like more reasons to not use Reddit. No sympathy for those this effects.
