It’s simply checking if the connection is from an actual browser, as a scraper pretending to be one won’t actually refresh the page as instructed. It’s going to buy some time, but like the rest of Anubis in general, it will only work until the scrapers get modified to work around it.
It’s not always about being first but about marketing.
And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I’m even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn’t insignificant.
Even more so when you ask Grok about something Elon did, as it quite often replies back in first person. Fairly certain it has been directly instructed to talk/“think” like Elon.
Also I love that prompt bleed.
As OP specified in another reply, they were talking about streamers specifically. And with them, big chunk of the income comes from Twitch subscribers, which is a monthly paid subscription. If you are willing to pay someone for it, you’ll notice pretty much immediately if they miss their scheduled stream and cancel it.
For many other platforms what you said is true, I’m way more likely to unsubscribe from someone when they post a video and remind me I’m still subbed than when they take a break and fade out of my feed.
So does apple, coconut, cracker, gin, barbarian, brownie, skinny, spade, spook, teabag and a whole host of different words.
It should never be about the word itself, but how it’s being used. Someone being called a genius doesn’t usually mean they are being applauded for their intellect either, for example.
Back in my day we just had to use our own imagination.
I was basically after that same concept - create that credential, and have the website only verify it’s legit and nothing else.
I think my example of how it’s currently done for basically everything in Finland just confused people, I wasn’t suggesting every country implements adult age checks with their banks.
The Holocene extinction event is just going to be the sixth one so far, and it certainly won’t be the last. As the saying goes, “life finds a way”.
We just won’t be around to see it.
Was an example of the security, not who is running the service. But I mean, guess who knows if you pay for OnlyFans or stuff like that?
Your bank.
And like I said, it’s only really secure if the service doesn’t keep a database of logs connecting the two.
Depends entirely on how it’s implemented, because the website doesn’t need to know who you are, only verify that you are over 18. Which can be done reasonably securely - you generate a random ID on a secure service (e.g here in Finland, we use our online banking stuff for official verification purposes), give that ID to the website, and the only communication between the two of them is “Is id 123 valid and an adult? Yes/No”.
Now, if that “secure service”, most likely a government contract done as cheaply as possible turns out not to be, and they keep logs linking those IDs to the URLs requesting verification, then the entire thing goes belly up.
Self-driving cars are a thing, Weymo is doing pretty fine.
But you might be able to spot a few (dozen) teeny-tiny (huge, bulky and extremely obvious) differences between a Waymo and a Tesla cybercab.
the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway
Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a “Most Relevant” section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
…for now.
Interestingly in the US it isn’t, gold is measured in Karat (k/Kt), and Carat (ct) is the unit of weight.
1 Karat is 1/24th gold, 1 Carat is 200 milligrams.
Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.
And even then, military service isn’t actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. “Civilian service”) instead.
Ah, but there’s the third option, just outlaw contraception and abortions. Capitalism is only incompatible with kids if you give your slaves the ability to choose if and when to have them.
Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it’s their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon. I haven’t used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my “twitter only” art list still has 18 people on it.
Major version numbers are used when stuff changes, and especially when shit breaks. Can the latest OS X 10 run the same software and on the same hardware as the first OS X 10? If not, increase the major number.
That jump at least had a reason, as a bunch of older software checked if they were running on windows 95 or 98 by checking for “windows 9”.
And what it actually feels like is the jump from windows 3.1 to 95. Because it’s literally the same one.
Win 10 and 11 do also use something like this, though it’s more hidden as it’s the update numbers - they were yearmonth (1507, 1709) and are now yearhalfofyear - 20H1, 21H2.
Opt-out by default in the EU I’m fairly sure.
