I want a WordPress plugin that refuses to load my site for anyyhing newer than Netscape 3 and pops up a modal “you need to upgrade your browser” pane.

But didn’t block any of the AI companies who stole from everyone.

This whole thread…

And those companies got rid of all the social incentives; no long-term jobs, pensions are gone, etc. They carved out every possible benefit to the community and monetised every scrap of consumer data from their customers.

Let them burn.

Good! Better than Reddit.

They also closed all credit agreements so can now acquire other companies and reconfigure without asking for approval from bankers, who have a strong interest in Gamestop failing.

Two stock offerings in early summer mean they have 4 billion in cash and can run on that

The also introduced their own lines of replacement controllers, keyboards, and mice this year.

If you’re curious about whether corporate bots, esp from banks and hedge funds, are invading this instance and lemmy in general, just watch how fast this post gets downvoted.

What a macaroon…

The financial titans of the day invested in and built them.

Govt helped by donating land for right of way.

Sometimes they didn’t get built and lost money. Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York Central tried to compete with the Pennsylvania at one time, but the route became the PA Turnpike after he abandoned the effort.

They all ran their own passenger service until Amtrak was formed to bail them out.

The NYCentral and Pennsylvania merged and then went bankrupt, there’s a book about the fall of the Penn Central.

There have been many failed railroad companies in the US.

Deeply concerned about weapons sales.

Obtanium couldn’t find that one.

Long covid feeling that photo… But one can fight back.

All the music files had strings of characters added to their file name. All of them. In every folder and subfolder. The names were long, VLC displayed them in marquee.

In that player those changed names didn’t show, but un any other player and file manager they did. Which I found out when sicmu started having playback issues and I opened VLC.

That was perhaps the 2nd or 3rd version of it posted on FDroid. I used to search for a folder player a lot and so tried the first version posted there, it was great until that update.

Great player, just won’t use it again.

I tried that some time ago, one early version renamed my files so that I had to rebuild my SD in order to sync directories.

Up to that point I liked it a lott and used it. VLC, despite the UI, has not wrecked my files.

If you’re in the USA, best buy might have a returned low end phone, Moto’s often have SD slots.

Sadly, Android does not have a good folder player tgat does FLAC, so VLC is it.

Just looking at her puts a stain on her reputation, and the Olympics.

One just fell out a window at 80-something… https://www.newsweek.com/top-russian-economist-dies-after-falling-out-window-1929398

I feel like filing a DMCA against all 9f the commercial ones. The thin line is getting exact copies.

It sucked when I closed my accounts years ago. I had to do it manually for the most part.

And yet AI and LLM companies operate with impunity. And likely use my work.

So after reading through the answers…could compilation be used as a form of encryption?
