  Ok. That helps a lot. Thanks much! I’ll take that back to my drawing board and I’d imagine that’ll fix things for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cloudflare and (friendly!) bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hrm, well, now I’m noticing that I’m getting inconsistent results.

  I keep getting {“error”:“rate_limit_error”} from the login endpoint, and I’ve made… maybe 10 requests to that endpoint over the course of the day? And I’ve had that block this user (like, my @TootSweet account) from being able to log in. But I really don’t think I’m sending any noticeable amount more traffic than I would be without the bot testing.

  But sometimes I get past login and get a Cloudflare page back on another call. (In the unhappy path it tries to DM me, and it’s tried that and failed.)

  Maybe I’m just not waiting long enough between requests? I had it set to wait 3 seconds between requests, but maybe I’ll bump it up to 5.

  I’m not using any headless browser or anything. I’m using Go’s “net/http” package from the standard library which just… makes HTTP requests. I’m making requests to endpoints like https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/login and https://lemmy.world/api/v3/post. The basic process is that every time it runs, it:

  • Gets the community id by name.
  • Logs in (getting the JWT token).
  • And then posts to the community in question (using the JWT token).

  The user agent it uses is Go-http-client/1.1 if that helps any.

  Huh. Guess he was telling the truth after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do analog triggers matter all that much? (In general and aside from racing games)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing a Gamecube game (Spiderman 2 (2004)) on original hardware lately (slight lie - playing on a backwards-compatible Wii, but with an official Nintendo Gamecube controller) and the analogue L/R are quite annoying. Given that the analogueness doesn’t do anything in the game I’m playing unless you fully press it, it’s more like a non-analogue trigger with a ridiculous depression distance.

  Be safe. Use a good VPN for pirated content and don’t trust that what you download is what you expect it to be.

  Morrowind has fast travel (sortof). It’s called “Recall”.

  That’s Kalshi’s slogan, right?

  No wait, that’s “gambling on fixed bumfights”. My bad.

  the AI bubble has popped

  So, there’s one positive thing, at least.

  That’s the part that’s in view of the web cam.

  I sometimes see these and find myself wondering how many of these are OC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect “MTV” rhyming with “FCC” and “let me be” and “me be me” was worth more than technical correctness.

  The FCC did try to “shut Eminem down.” There was an incident where a radio station played a sanitized version of his song “The Real Slim Shady” and the FCC still fined the radio station claiming even the “clean” version was still too indecent for broadcast.

  The whole thing had nothing to do with “MTV”, but yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the approach to nudity and sex in films and tv so vastly different between the US and Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Federal Communications Commission”. It’s a U.S. agency. Originally established to make sure radio broadcasters play nice with the “commons” that is the radio frequency spectrum. Radio and TV stations have to register with the FCC. WIFI wavelengths are under the FCC’s jurisdiction. That sort of thing.

  But they decided that their jurisdiction also extends to deciding what’s too “obscene” to be allowed to be broadcast over the air waves. Cable TV is out of scope because the signal travels over wires rather than over radio waves, and so in the U.S. the rules for cable are much more lenient.

  But yeah. Any content made for TV that would go over radio waves (even if it also goes over cables) basically has to follow FCC’s rules for morality. And they’re pretty strict. Such shows can’t say “shit” or “cock” or “pussy” whatever. (Though the FCC is kind enough to make exceptions for if you’re unambiguously referring to a rooster when you say “cock” etc.)

  Lots of artists and content make reference to how strict the FCC is. For instance, I think this is a song from Family Guy about that (but YouTube says it’s “inappropriate for some users” and I have to log in to confirm my age, but fuck that.) I think the FCC is even a running joke on Family Guy. Also, Eminem’s song “Without Me” also says “the FCC won’t let me be, won’t let me be me so let me see. They try to shut me down on MTV…”. (Though when it comes to Eminem, they may have a point. Lol.)

  If you look closely enough at the FCC, you’ll see it’s just three mormons in a trenchcoat.

  Not that kind of slop.

  Were you on Reddit when “The Narwal Bacons at Midnight” was the shit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus. It’d be funny if it weren’t so tragic for the poor damned souls who can’t escape.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Best: ecstatcy. Worst: stupor.

  Seriously though, you mean U.S. State?

  Before the ICE problems, I’d have said Minnesota was probably best, but I suspect it’s probably still the best state now after having a chance to return to some degree of normalcy. Kind folk.

  Worst: Mississippi is the state that most consistently scores very low on just about every axis you’d want to measure a state by. It has a reputation for being a terrible place to live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you have to ask the question, just take the secret to your grave. You should only risk the blowback on yourself if you know how properly to mitigate the risk of “doing the right thing”.

  And maybe it’s fine. Like, if you found a vulnerability in a piece of FOSS software, most projects have an official path for disclosure of such things. Just look on their website and follow the instructions there. But if anyone asked me this question specifically about a vulnerability in some FOSS software, a) I’d say they don’t have the knowledge to make an informed decision whether it’s safe for them to do so and b) I’d question whether they’d actually found what they thought they’d found.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only “creepy” thing about it is that viewing who upvoted/downvoted what isn’t a feature that’s just built into Lemmy (and Lemmy-UI). I can’t imagine why the authors of Lemmy would want to have a class system with some (instance admins) being able to see vote information and others (everyone else) being unable.

  You say “we all know our votes here are public record”, but that’s not really true. Even Lemvotes doesn’t work for at least half of the posts I’ve tried it on. It’d be more accurate to say “we all know our votes here aren’t secret”.

  Ah, thanks for that. I hadn’t heard. It’s been a few years since I’ve done any streaming. I’ll probably go log into my account and make sure I’m opted out in case I ever decide on a lark to start streaming again.
