A paper on this phenomenon would certainly get the Ig Nobel prize!

As does Reddit, Twitter still contains some valuable information.

Love it! Reddit was unusable to me with its crazy mods, so I mostly lurked. I also personally find lemmings to be more welcoming than redditors.
And I like to be somewhere closer to the start of the journey we're all making here on Lemmy even though it's been years since it was released. We're still early (but for real, unlike with creepto).

Well, something like this.

My biggest pain point with Duck is that the minus operator doesn't seem to do anything. Have to use Startpage (!s
) when in need of excluding a word.

Could one argue that a monolithic kernel such as the Linux kernel also goes against that principle?

I suppose it's not that unclear if you compare the revenue of all other industries combined to the revenue of the advertising industry. The ratio is pretty large and every type of industry buys ads, so it trickles down from everywhere.

I wonder how universal that phenomenon is across different cultures.

It certainly is somewhere around the peak of the hype cycle.

I really cannot understand why advertising is such a huge business. Where does all the money spent on advertising really come from?

Browsh is pretty cool for a text-based browser.

It appears that users in this case include agents such as software. A bit confusing for the general public.
For instance, a malicious app obtained from an app store could use the Downfall attack to steal sensitive information like passwords, encryption keys, and private data such as banking details, personal emails, and messages.
It can theoretically even be exploited via a browser:
[Q] What about web browsers?
[A] In theory, remotely exploiting this vulnerability from the web browser is possible. In practice, demonstrating successful attacks via web browsers requires additional research and engineering efforts.

It's so that the machine elves have some time to hide!
On a serious note, I found this explanation here:
Washing machines must have some way in which you can lock the door closing mechanism when the machine is started up and then unlock them with a certain delay (normally two minutes) after the current has switched off via the program or on/off switch, in order to ensure that the door cannot be opened while some of the components are still rotating initially (in particular the motor and the drum of the spin-dryer).
Washing machines have a bi-metal strip inside the door lock which is heated by PTC Heater (resister) when live and neutral are activated on to the pcts it heats up and bends the bi-metal strip which then moves the arm to activate the common terminal and push a pin into the closed door to lock it in place. Once this has happened (usually a second or so see video) the power then can flow through to the common wire, and therefore on to the rest of the machine allowing it to start.

It was a metaphor for personal hygiene.
## Description It adds a scroll to parent button to nested comments (after clicking the "more" button). If you then press the more button on the parent comment, you'll see a back to child button that will scroll back to the comment you came from on click (also after clicking the "more" button). ## Install 1. Install via [Greasy Fork](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/472942-lemmy-scroll-to-parent-comment) or copy the [code](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/472942-lemmy-scroll-to-parent-comment/code) from there. 2. **Replace the `@match` value with your instance.** ## Screenshots ![](https://lemmy.villa-straylight.social/pictrs/image/0b9e5711-618a-4642-a0f5-a97ed2acff87.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.villa-straylight.social/pictrs/image/c6aa8daa-9d9a-491f-b878-f75103a84b9c.jpeg) ## Notes Tested on Firefox with Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey.
Interesting little essay. Perhaps one could find it a bit Ludditic. But technology is a good tool that is oft misused like any other. Not sure if belongs here, but couldn't think about where else to post it. 🙏

Hi, [@Wintermute@lemmy.villa-straylight.social](https://lemmy.villa-straylight.social/u/Wintermute)! Have you considered updating to 0.18.2? In the [release notes](https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-07-11_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.18.2) they say that should prevent any not yet discovered XSS (not just the custom emojis), which I think is quite important.
