ninjan, to piracy in Prime is adding ads to their streaming service

I feel the only thing they do well in my area is provide safer access to random bits and bobs that I buy from AliExpress. But that business is not what makes them rich, of course. It’s people buying everything from them, but that that is even compelling is mind blowing to me due to how atrocious their website and shopping experience is. And I work in e-Commerce as well…

ninjan, to memes in When Israel starts ripping off Futurama in a very bad and disgusting taste

Quite a lot of adult cartoons have a violent Santa. South Park, Family Guy, American Dad have all had Santa with a gun episodes.

ninjan, to piracy in Help creating standalone disconnected from internet preloaded music player

Quick search for a product that satisfies your use case that is available in my region:

www.westerndigital.com/…/sandisk-clip-sport-plus?…

There’s bound to be a plethora of cheaper and more expensive alternatives. And probably a lot on the used market as well.

ninjan, to linuxmemes in An unbiased comparison of linux distributions' setup

While RHEL and Fedora are siblings we can’t mix em’ like that. At least I haven’t ever seen a server with Fedora pre-installed, or anyone offering support on a Fedora server…

ninjan, to piracy in How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig?

They don’t. But if you get big and along the way in a throwaway comment on Patreon mentioned you use the Adobe Suite and other tools they’ll look into that and if you don’t pay they’ll send a very stern letter demanding payment.

Generally for Joe Schmo if they’re found out it stops at a letter demanding payment, and if you don’t pay it likely won’t escalate, especially if you deny the accusation. But for someone making a profit they’ll get their money and it’s a major headache and just not worth it considering you are making money far exceeding the rather small cost.

ninjan, to memes in Me Trying To Use The Internet

You could level up by adding uMatrix and plug any and all leaks of data, not just the big ones like ads and cookies. But then you’re a bit into control freak territory.

ninjan, to linuxmemes in Just a little bit of trolling...

I don’t, after doing the classic rm -r -f / when I meant ./ the second time I realized I’m too much of a dumbass to be allowed to use sudo without password.

ninjan, to lemmyshitpost in this AI thing

There is a (non-meme) reason why Prompt Engineer is a real title these days. It takes a measure of skill to get the model to focus on and attempt to solve the right question. This becomes even more apparent if you try to generate a product description where a newb will get something filled with superlative lies and a pro will get something better than most human writers in the field can muster for a much lower cost per text (compared to professional writers, often on par or more expensive than content farms). AI is a great tool, but it’s neither the only tool (don’t hammer in screws) nor is it perfect. The best approach is to let the AI do the easy boiler plate 80% then add that human touch to the hard 20% and at most have the AI prepare the structure / stubs.

ninjan, to piracy in Piracy is Preservation

I2P is similar to TOR in that it’s an alternative Internet with strong privacy protections, in many ways stronger than TOR, but nothing that still uses TCP over IP can be truly secure.

ninjan, to news in Category 5 Hurricane Otis makes landfall near Acapulco, Mexico

“Near”… If that is near I’d start running when they say “In the vicinity of”

You’re speaking like there literally aren’t any online retailers in the US, is that really accurate? And question free returns are literally the law here…

ninjan, to news in Donald Tusk elected as Polish prime minister

I haven’t looked at an image but it’s not Donald Trump in a wig is it? Crazy coincidence on having so similar names.

ninjan, to privacyguides in What do you use for cloud storage and why?

I run Dropbox, since they’re only in cloud storage they can’t really run around and sell data, if found out there would be no reason to stay for their customers. Unlike say Google and Microsoft.

Maybe it’s you who’s growing 🤔
