Malware’s definition:

Malicious computer software that interferes with normal computer functions or sends personal data about the user to unauthorized parties over the Internet.

Any forced update that increases data collection without consent or intentionally breaks previous functionality being pushed out to millions of people should result in multi-decade prison sentences for cybercrimes.

Oh, so mobile-only.

How did you do that?

I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

It doesn’t sound like they typically check for most items, just the expensive ones and the date on the receipt. That makes it even more theater and less practical.

Of course, it’s perfectly reasonable that if you know someone stole something, you can stop them. Under the prerequisite conditions section, it is stated that:

The shopkeeper has reasonable grounds to suspect the particular person detained is shoplifting.

Wouldn’t that mean that someone who has done nothing suspicious other than refusing the check would not be giving anyone reasonable grounds to stop them? Or does just refusing count as reasonable grounds and make the check effectively legally mandatory?

someone who can is waiting(and the salarymen can, shopkeeper’s privilege apparently in the US)

Can you elaborate on this? I’ve never heard of it.

Captchas are actually a great tool for reducing spam and botting. Depending on the platform, they can directly benefit you. Captchas and manual approval for Lemmy account signups are directly responsible for the lack of spambots on this platform. The problem is that captchas got co-opted to force people to give companies free AI training data.

That makes sense to me. You might piss people off less by doing that if you put their username in the title or something.

Why’d’ja take no_nothing’s post? They seem pretty upset about it.

The frequency with which cm0002 posts would make me say bot if they didn’t leave lots of conversive comments too.

The real problem with AI is that you have to be so damn skeptical even of real posts.

Why does the flag have no stars?

Which continent is America? I only know of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

The name may be really stupid, but America is the name used to reference the United States and is recognized by hundreds of millions if not billions of people. North America: continent. South America: continent. The Americas: 2 continents. America: 1 country. Just because it’s dumb doesn’t make it not true.

You know, this is a really messed up thing to post. You should be ashamed of yourself. How DARE you insinuate that humor and levity could be physical objects capable of leaving someone’s body? You fool. You absolute buffoon.
