BossDj, to memes in Bed at 7 am really become cozy

I sometimes think my diet has more play on the problem than sleep times.

Nahdahar,

The consistency of when you eat (or the lack thereof) plays a bigger role in this than the diet itself, although it’s known that heavy meals in the evening can disrupt sleep.

Reality Tv in a nutshell. Programming that people can hate watch and feel superior.

GlitterInfection,

Plus it gives those of us who hate reality TV an excuse to hate watch our friends and loved ones who watch it and feel superior to them!

So basically what this is saying is that adult virgins are as rare as a six leaf clover? 🤔

The third panel was brutally unnecessary

poppy,

It kinda takes away from the joke imo

Be me:

watch on demand

Skip boring parts.

If skipping leads to 20% remaining watch time, drop it.

Regret even starting it and then start another shitty series which you know won’t entertain you

Duamerthrax,

I’ve noticed that I’ll give a show part way into its second season before dropping it if it’s annoying me. Sometimes a show fixes itself once it finds what it wants to be. Other times, it doubles down on the stupid. The Flash, RWBY, and the BSG remake were this way for me.

Next level is watching YouTube summaries of shows and movies.

Viking_Hippie,

Next level after that is to forsake all joy and quality of life by skipping to the comments of the YouTube summaries without watching.

It's a verb and it's "hatewatching" 🙂

Honytawk,

But … why?

If I don’t enjoy something, I just turn on something I do enjoy.

Or is it really because they watched so much they don’t have anything they enjoy watching anymore?

frezik,

Me and my wife, in a hotel after a long day, because we can’t cast YouTube to the TV (which is becoming less common).

Sometimes you gotta let steam off by yelling at a show. Better than yelling at people.

cvozbosher,

And then it bleeds into the internet and communities for fans of the show/movie/game get overrun with people who just want to complain. Complaining gets more engagement than enjoying and the hate rises to the top. And I’m sitting here wondering again: Why don’t you just watch things you enjoy and then go lift weights and/or talk to someone (good friend or therapist)?

frezik, to comicstrips in "This Show" by Chris Hallbeck

My wife and I hatewatch house hunting shows when we’re stuck up in a hotel sometimes.

What sometimes happen is something you can’t hatewatch. One episode of “Love it or List It” had a black family where mom had to do clear the kitchen table to do the office work she brought home, the older teenage boy had a bed too short and his legs hung over the edge, and grandma moved in and had to sleep in the same bed as the younger daughter. I can’t hatewatch that. This family is legit struggling with their current housing arrangements and needs a fix.

Then the next thing comes on, and it’s a white family where their biggest problems are that the house is too far from the golf course and the kids don’t all have their own bathrooms. Thank you, hatewatching gods, I can work with this!

xusontha, to comicstrips in "Spell and Speak" by Mr.Lovenstein

They always could talk, but they just didn’t feel like it

Luisp,

In fact the miau sound you are used to is produced exclusively in presence of humans, normally they make other sounds

Papanca,

Yes, there were studies where it was proven that these sounds are actively being reinforced by human interactions; cats learn that this works

KpntAutismus,

can confirm. i basically meow at my cat whenever he looks like he wants something. based on how he reacts i can figure out if he’s hungry, needs attention or is just doing his hourly sweep of the house.

The three phrases of kitties:

Let me in!

Let me out!

Give me fresh food, even though my bowl is still pretty full

query,

If you can, should give them fresh food each time and not leave it out to become stale. Have meal times and meal sizes (or cover it up).

Papanca,

I don’t know why you got downvoted, i completely agree with you. They really love fresh food and fresh water (those water fountains), it’s just their nature. It’s not that they are spoiled. Dogs for instance will also eat from a carcass, but wild felines only eat fresh

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Also, the bonus phrase:

“Schritches…… enough scritches.”

Papanca,

They don’t need to say that; they will just sit on your papers or laptop, or stand right in front of the tv

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

It’s more of a non verbal thing.

When they want scritches, they’ll let you know

And when they’re done…. They’ll let you know that, too….

Do they carry the umbrella around full of water dripping down when it’s sunny?

nottheengineer, to memes in ...Then you select it, and the Captcha fails.

I still don’t know whether you’re supposed to hit those and I also don’t know if it’s normal to get two challenges or if that just means I did the first one wrong.

onion,

I think you should do what the majority of people would do

nottheengineer,

This has been memed about forever, no one knows what the majority does.

veroxii,

Most people do.

Pietson,

AFAIK, the first one is the real check, the second one is too train their image recognition AI.

That was in text captcha days

neoman4426,

I vaguely remember 4chan figuring out something to do with which was the control and which the variable and deciding to spam solving the control correctly but the variable with some kind of nonsense (knowing 4chan probably a slur) until the system got enough confirmation that it got moved to the control group and would accept I it there

nottheengineer,

It has to be more sophisticated than that. Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

It probably checks your answer against the current model’s best guess and if it’s close enough, you get a pass and your input is added to the training data for the next iteration. The more wrong you are, the more challenges you get.

Takios,

Otherwise users could easily taint the datasets by giving wrong answers on purpose.

I do that and as long as it’s not too outlandish it lets me through.

boredtortoise,

Isn’t it normal to get something like 6 challenges?

And suddenly one of them has new slow loading images which you won’t notice before clicking continue, thus failing

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

The most I got at once was around 21 I think. But twice I did such number without passing.

I should finally look at one of those automated captcha solver extensions for Firefox. I know some are more accurate than humans anyway.

Johanno,

Oh I usually get the green checkmark without any captcha.

It depends on the website you are visiting, whether you are loged in on Google and how much cookies you allow and a lot more. Also using Chrome may help because it collects more data.

Sometimes loging out of Google also helps.

jmcs,

It doesn’t really matter, they don’t expect you to get everything right on these. While most of the time you need to get mostly right (Google is using these to train their AI so often they are not sure themselves), they are also looking at other things, like how you move your mouse, and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human. If you pass a certain threshold they let you through, and you can do it even if you miss a square.

mnglw,

I use a trackball mouse for disability reasons. I have to actively slow my cursor movement to a crawl and deliberately slowly click each square otherwise I fail captcha’s

it’s infuriating

    Tetsuo,

    A bot trying to solve the captcha would be very fast so it makes sense that they block fast solvers.

    anyhow2503,

    A bot would be exactly as fast as possible, while staying below the detection threshold.

    nottheengineer,

    These things feel like they are made by microsoft. You click somewhere, wait 3-10 seconds and then you can click again.

    Droechai,

    Just use a click delay program between press and input, maybe with a physical on/off switch on a dedicated keyboard next to the mouse together with other necessary keys (like the one button switch between EN and SE layouts or the Memory Cache Dump Key)

    jmcs,

    That’s what a bot would say /s

    But you’re right, the UX sucks, and there are other ways to detect and limit bots that don’t impact legitimate users as much - but Google needs to train their AI, and developers need to cargo cult stuff.

    DessertStorms,
    @DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

    and the cookies that they use to spy on people to determine the probability of you being a human

    which is why I assume, as a VPN user who rejects as many cookies as possible, I constantly have to do 5-6 fucking captchas in a row, sometimes more, before it'll let me through.. I can't be that bad at doing them lol

    Is it frustrating? Fuck yeah. Will it get me to change my behaviour and drop those measures so that the companies getting in my way can collect more of my data? Fuck no.

    Inductor,

    Have you tried using an automatic CAPTCHA solver (e.g. Buster)?

    DessertStorms,
    @DessertStorms@kbin.social avatar

    No, will give it a look, thanks

    Pika,

    I will have to look into this as well

    null,

    Yup, as soon as I moved to a privacy-focused browser, pi-hole, and VPN, I started getting a ton more captchas and they had many more in a row.

    I consider it a badge of honor.

    veroxii,

    I also started getting way more once I moved from chrome to Firefox.
