[The screenshot is from a GitHub commit summary. It is zoomed in to show just the tab headers for the “Checks” tab and the “Files changed” tab. The “Checks” tab has a number 1 next to it, and the “Files changed” tab has an infinity sign next to it.]

Theoretically they might be able to, but it would be a very difficult case fought against a massive corporation. I doubt they’d consider it worth the trouble and legal fees, especially given there’s no guarantee of winning.

Somehow, Altman returned.

Oh, so it’s shit in the way I originally thought, then.

And also shit in the second way I thought, since adblock is a symptom of how terrible they’ve made the experience on their platform and if they want less people to use it they should make that experience more reasonable.

Given the shit big companies have got up to in the past and continue to get up to, as exposed in past and ongoing antitrust cases, that conspiracy theory you mention really isn’t all that unrealistic. Yeah, it’s not what happened in this case and it isn’t the simplest solution, but it’s absolutely a believable thing for YouTube to do, though I think they would have hidden it better if they had.

Ah, I was wondering why YouTube was taking so long to load recently. I thought it was just because their code was shit, and it turns out I was right, but not in the way I thought.

Still needs to be checked over to make sure it didn’t get anything wrong. In my experience the mistakes AI make with monospace fonts tend to be very awkward to notice (like 1 and l and I and | being interchanged), so I’d have to go over with a fine tooth comb which, for me, since I type quickly, isn’t noticeably faster and is a lot more boring.

[Transcriber’s note: the first line in the following transcription is incorrect. After the equals, there should be eight instances of the word “Option”, each succeeded by a less-than symbol, then two brackets, like (), before the first greater-tha symbol. However, if you type a less-than symbol on Lemmy, it seems to strip that symbol and whatever word comes next out of the source when you save the comment.]

I’m also experiencing this problem, however I don’t see anything about being blocked by Cloudfare. What I do see in the network tools is that on the image’s POST request, Lemmy is returning a 400 (Bad Request) error. Issue is happening on both the normal Lemmy UI and the Photon UI.

Thanks! Not sure if there’s been other people doing any or not, but for my part I just do them when I find the time, which unfortunately isn’t all that often.

[A photograph of a road signpost in front of a metal fence with a low, long building in the distance. The post has two signs on it. At the top is an octagonal sign, filled red with a white outline, reading “STOP”. Beneath it is a rectangular sign with an arrow pointing up to the stop sign, and text reading “THIS IS A STOP SIGN”.]

Ah, that’s good to know. For me the problem is that most of my non-lurking activity on Lemmy is transcribing posts to improve accessibility; I post the URLs to an archive to make all the transcriptions easy to find for those who need them, and I know there are at least a few people from rblind subscribed to it, but with this going on the archive is essentially useless.

STOP USING CSS

* HTML WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE GIVEN CLASSES
* YEARS OF MARKUP yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for styling beyond <TABLE>
* Wanted to center content for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called “<CENTER>”
* “Yes please align that content exactly 32.89% left. Please align 59.0px down”
    - Statements dreams up by the utterly deranged

LOOK at what FRONT-END Devs  have been demanding your Respect for all this time.

[Three screenshots of CSS code, each one marked with a number of red question marks. The first screenshot has five question marks and reads as follows:]

h1 {
        font-size: .75em;
        position: absolute;
        bottom: 20px;
        width: 94%;
        left: 2%;
}

[The second screenshot has eight question marks and reads as follows:]

*{
    font-size: 30px;

}
    q::before {
  content: "«";
  color: blue;
]

q::after {
  content: "»";
  color: red;
}

[The third screenshot has sixteen question marks and reads as follows:]

#header ul a:focus, #header ul a:active,
#header ul a:hover {
    background-color: #5A5A5A;
    outline-color: -moz-use-text-color:
    outline-style: none;
    outline-width: medium;

This, all of this. Meta is the one company I really manage to completely shut out of my life, partially through use of extensions like Facebook Container and partially through simply never interacting with anything I see from them. I’m on places like Lemmy because I want nothing to do with these huge corporations, because they always bring nothing but corruption and exploitation.

[Four images of toilet roll holders, each with text above them.

The first shows a toilet roll holder holding a partially-used roll of toilet paper. Its text reads, “Non-zero value”.

The second shows a holder holding a completely used roll of toilet paper, leaving just the cardboard tube. Its text reads, “0”.

The third shows a holder with no toilet roll or cardboard tube on it at all. Its text reads, “null”.

The fourth shows no holder; simply plain wall. Its text reads, “undefined”.]
