Gsus4@mander.xyzOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosisEnglish13·10 days agoIf everyone gets tested yearly until they die, this could total as much as most cancer treatments and suffering combined and it would probably still be better for everyone if nobody has to go through that anymore.
Gsus4@mander.xyzOPto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•Elon Musk humiliated as new poll shows Republican support plummetingEnglish10·11 days agoThe best elon has to do is sell his shit and go into remission. It’s still a win to get rid of him, but he’s still going to be useful to maga as a scapegoat for everything that goes wrong regardless.
Gsus4@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The Current System of Online Advertising has Been Ruled Illegal by The Belgian Court of Appeal. Advertising itself is Still Allowed, but not in a Way That Secretly Tracks Everyone’s Behavior.English6·13 days agoBut isn’t most of that client-side processing? Can’t I request a vanilla generic page and once it is in my browser to process it to shape it into the window size and extensions I want? Even if it is an adblocker: serve me the ad, I’ll block it internally. But I suppose that for dynamic pages with js requests this would become hard to do.

Can’t those be spoofed?

Gsus4@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•How Social Media Brings Out the Worst in UsEnglish3·14 days agoWhat I’ve learned over time is that it brings out the worst in us, because unlike a live meeting, where there is a danger that you may be ostracized or beaten up, online people have a much less controlled environment for speech. Even the effort of showing up or printing/broadcasting an opinion was reduced to 0.
And since the user isn’t forced to pass a driving exam for how to behave and different communities have different rules, values and objectives, it is easy to feel a contrast without traveling very far, which triggers polarization/victimization rather than an instinct to adapt and grow.
e.g. normies wouldn’t just stumble into an anarchist meeting in real life and start throwing up a fuss, but online it can happen all the time without
censorshipmoderation.And all of this before even considering hostile actors that generate, propagate, amplify and target misinformation and disinformation (now with AI insideTM)
…it is also easier to be misinterpreted, because every time someone speaks, it is one-to-many and you have no idea who is going to be reading and to misinterpret/coopt/discredit(in a hostile way) your message in ways that you had not antecipated. It is completely different from a live gathering (you don’t each yell at the crowd at a time)

Gsus4@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this monthEnglish2·19 days agoYeah, I noticed that too, but the observer and the explorer in the same page show them, so…ok…🧐
Maybe they’re trying to divide the load among different servers, so they don’t serve .world as the obvious default choice.

Yeah, I actually had to try 1+“11” to check that it didn’t give me 12, but thankfully
it commutesit’s consistent 😇
Hm, playing devil’s advocate, I think it is because the minus has not been defined as a string operation (e.g. it could pop the last char), so it defaults to the mathematical operation and converts both inputs into ints.
The first is assumed to be a concat because one of the parcels is a string…
It’s just doing a lot of stuff for you that it shouldn’t be in first place 🤭
