Definitely wouldn't be surprised - MS have been making noises about reducing the level of access non-core Windows services get after the cloudstrike fiasco, and given MS's patch stability lately, I would also not be surprised if something leaked out early.

    Yeah I don't understand the faux outrage here, but maybe that's because I'm not in a parasocial relationship with these influencers.

    I always wondered how Honey made any money, so this answers that question and is actually a pretty ingenious (if somewhat underhanded) mechanism.

    All it takes is some standardized markup like schema.org

    Which is the problem AI is solving here - getting every supermarket chain to agree on this (when it's actually against their interests to do so, since it increases price transparency) would be an impossible task, but AI can get around this requirement with minimal extra effort.

    I'm hardly an AI evangelist, but this is actually one of the rare situations where it's a good fit.

    The amount of people bootlicking a corporation's decision to cut costs rather than just moderate effectively is pretty astonishing for Lemmy,

    Plenty of people got value out of the comment section - if nothing else, they were invaluable in knowing when to skip past the recap/opening theme/filler content in long-running shows like One Piece.

    Most of it is pretty inane, but there was some useful stuff in there, and I always found it fun to see what other people thought of particularly crazy episodes.

    It's funny how when this was released, people were massively up in arms since it was 'only cosmetic' - then we saw what these companies would do with PvP games and P2W microtransactions, so people had to turn around and beg for them to return to being purely cosmetic additions...

    This is why I absolutely refuse to install Valorant (and now LoL) - I could somewhat understand if an anticheat refused to boot up the game in question if something triggered it, but it going massively outside of its scope and wantonly disabling or killing other processes is just nuts to me.

    If I really hate front end, but still want a lot of the responsiveness of a SPA, I'd have to give ASP.NET Blazor a serious thought.

    It's largely all back end driven, with the dynamic elements driven via webassembly that pretty much works like black magic.

    I was wondering whether there's any appetite to host alternative frontends? I've been using Alexandrite a bit recently, and really liking it (though would be more comfortable sending my login credentials directly to aussie.zone instead of hoping everything's legit), and some other servers are hosting that or something like Voyager for a mobile-first iOS-styled interface.
