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).

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.

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.

A "sassy personality" just puts the assistant into the uncanny valley for me. I prefer it to just do its job and not try to fool me into anthropomorphizing it.

For a second or two I thought that you didn't even get any actual ink. I had seen a post about multi-function printers refusing to scan if you're out of ink, and I thought perhaps you could buy a card with an unlock code for such situations (hence "instant ink"). That's not too unbelievable these days though, is it?

## 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.

I would say since faking most Lemmy interactions isn't profitable, there's no point in using chatbots to generate content for it apart from, perhaps, some sort of a social experiment, but your exposure to such experiments would likely be minimal.
Of course, you should always beware of astroturfing when, for example, looking at product recommendations, but I don't think we're there yet in terms of numbers to be a target.

Also congrats on finding new hobbies. Sometimes we forget that there's life outside of screens. Or perhaps not many have the energy for anything beyond staring at the black mirror.

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. 🙏
