Now, I know this isn't quite a meme, given the bad UI here is being used to troll scammers, but this video relates to a popular post here from two months ago, and I thought folks would find this just as humorous in watching others struggle with the same password checker as we all did before:

 

Dang, I've been using sync for more than a decade, and even I did not know that sync had multi window support on Android. I think there needs to be a continuous education workshop, video tutorial series, or a sphinx style docs site on all these features when the beta dust settles. Multi tasking is so handy. FYI:

Could a community description be added? Is it just about certain meme template or genre of humor? Not sure I ever knew of the subreddit.

Ex. An NBA or Sports instance containing /c/NBA /c/NFL /c/NHL and all the related teams.

My phone keyboard spelling aside, when the acronym was first coined, correct, but it seems to have sence devolved into more of a colloquialism for large scale tech related corporations, outliving the precise corporate restructuring that once comprised the old acronym. At least that's what I've experienced in my workplaces, as well as the comments here:

Was there a equivalent house hold colloquialism for IBM, HP, Xerox, Bell System, etc. back in the day?

I think if the local and remote instances are federated - for posts submitted to remote communities that have subscribers from the local instance - posts to the local instance can be annotated with cross-posted to: links, whenever the local instance is aware of other federated posts that have a matching URL in other OP posts.

A single OP can manually cross post to other communities using the cross-post button next to the title of a post, although that will auto populate the body text of the new post with quoted text from the original, as well as an embedded hyperlink to the original.

So coss-posts can be both auto detected by Lemmy, or manually created by OP(s).

They can try and reinvent themselves all they'd like, but I can't be bothered to keep up with their rebrandings if they can't be bothered to commit and sell off the domain name. Something something sacrifice, something, law of Equivalent exchange. /s

scrambling to lock their doors

From a consumer perspective, it seems like all the FANG conglomerates are trying to shut the stable door after the AI horse has bolted, but perhaps from an industry perspective, their just trying to pull up the ladder behind themselves to curb competition, or stall any emerging upstarts, just like most FANGs where themselves only decades ago.

Yeah, I found the discussions on HN and the debates in the Google group mailing list ("Intent to Prototype: Web environment integrity API") much more interesting, but didn't hot link the latter in the OP post to limit brigading. Although that mail list archive is made publicly accessable.

I think the comment that the_lego is replying to also highlights the false equivalency of calling the anti-WEI crowd as criminals, as was not a good look for Google.

They have apologized for using the word criminals & bullies in a broader context and I appreciate that. However, the initial part of the comment is very telling of how they view those who oppose.

 

Attacks and doxing make me personally MORE likely to support stronger safety features in chromium, as such acts increase my suspicion that there is significant intimidation from criminals who are afraid this feature will disrupt their illegal and/or unethical businesses, and I don't give in to criminals or bullies

Kick a puppy
Get attacked for kicking a puppy
"These attacks make me MORE likely to keep kicking puppies, as I don't give in to intimidation from criminals and bullies that want healthy puppies for their nefarious ends."

Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions? The spec does currently specify a carveout for browser modifications and extensions, but those can make automating interactions with a website trivial. So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will eventually be applied there too.
