Absolutely not. While a captcha can stop somebody with a simple python script and nothing else. It is not effective against sophisticated bots which either use AI or which connect through API to a captcha solving service run by humans. Much to the chagrin of captcha operators.

From what I’ve seen the main purpose of captcha is to act as security theater to dissuade normies. If there’s anything that captcha has been successful at it’s been permeating pop culture as a trope. As far as actually stopping the malicious actors it hasn’t really done that much, mainly because these people will adapt and change their tactics. They’re not just going to keep trying the same methods that aren’t working, they’re not stupid. Many do it as a business.

Don’t apologize, it’s obvious that this user is a troll and is trying to accuse people of harassing them for calling out their bad behavior and how their arguments are wrong.

Many Russians already use matrix, they may not use it seriously but they use it.

I mean in the past few days I’ve seen like 20 Russian trolls, spamming scat porn, racial slurs, racist memes, extremist memes, you name it.

So yeah I would say that matrix is already decently popular among Russians. Maybe not for legitimate use but it’s still definitely popular among them.

Best to use the archived links bypasses the login barrier, as well as paywalls.

Why would they, Xbox uses a version Windows and an x86 core + AMD GPU, bog standard parts, bog standard system, it’s easier to tap into the windows component on an x86 system and just use that to run the games. Making a proper emulator for games that would otherwise run on the PC natively just wouldn’t make sense.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally like it, even so my main reason for recommending it is the fact that it has many features and supports a wide range of ebook formats, more than the stock Ereader apps usually do.

That’s why you shouldn’t buy books from Amazon or other online ebook stores instead just download the ePubs elsewhere.

I’d also highly recommend KOreader if you have a Kindle or Ereader which supports it, as it supports many more formats and has a nice interface.

Hopefully he will be recognized as a troll soon and he’ll end up banned either from LW or even by his own instance admin.

Glad to see that there’s finally some effort to hack the shitty anti-consumer printer ink DRM.

CAPTCHA doesn’t stop bots, and let us be honest, it never really did. It frustrated the hell out of people though, and caused people to waste time doing these challenges. Meanwhile even before AI bad actors and bots could get past it simply by using captcha solver services run by exploited humans solving captchas for the service.

It’s a display of security theater meant to make normies feel safe but in reality doesn’t stop most bad actors.

Captcha these days isn’t even really a CAPTCHA in the traditional sense since most of the work it does is based on filtering of IP and browser fingerprinting, with a certain level of gamification because the goal is not just to keep out the people they fight against, but to waste their time, would work great if it didn’t waste normal people’s time, while real bad actors have easy ways to get around it.

Yeah this person is a serial troll. They will troll and argue about anything even if they are blatantly wrong and everyone knows they are wrong. They seem to have honestly nothing better to do, since almost all of their replies are trolling and hostility.

Tylenol is just the brand, the active ingredient is Acetaminophen.

I’m willing to bet that this is one of those sketchy knockoff cables. The usb-c standard, called USB power delivery doesn’t support 10 amps. Likely it never could because it would require thicker cables and more heavy duty connectors than what USBC actually has. Anyone who knows anything about basic electronics already knows this, more specifically what happens when you put too much current through a cable that’s not rated for it.

All I can say is that I hope there aren’t devices that try and actually pull 10 amps through a cable like this, it would probably not end well.

I agree, I like the liquid ones better, but I also have the dual ones (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) which I use instead when the pain is too much for ibuprofen alone. I haven’t found gel versions of the dual ones but if I did I would get those instead of the white ones.

Neither. I either take the gel ones which are green and squishy, or these white ones which are a combination of both ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

Oh great news, I take both, well kinda. The ones I take are a combo of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.

It wasn’t even a PlayStation controller, it was a knockoff Logitech controller shaped like a DualShock but with Xbox colored buttons.

Average shitty house-flippers who lack appreciation for the beauty in older homes.

I think that WordPress integration has been added to Lemmy, so you should be able to also follow WordPress blogs right here, they show up as communities.

I mean I’m not sure how well it works, last I checked it was very glitchy.
