Literally the first thing you do on NoStupidQuestions is attack the person asking the question.

And then go on a rant that doesn’t actually address the question. I honestly don’t even know if you read the same OP that I did here…

Cmon, that’s not acceptable behavior here.

It’s not as easy to defeat as just changing the pixel…

CSAM detection often uses existing features for image matching such as PhotoDNA by Microsoft. Similarly both Facebook and Google also have image matching algorithms and software that is used for CSAM detection which.

These are all hash based image matching tools used for broad feature sets such as reverse image search in bing, and are not defeated by simply changing a pixel. Or even redrawing parts of the whole image itself.

You’re not just throwing an md5 or an sha at an images binary. It’s much more nuanced and complex than that, otherwise hash based image matching would be essentially useless for anything of consequence.

Your biggest mistake was automatically assuming anything in corporation says is a lie, and projecting that into me.

All that matters is the track record.

This comment aged like milk given they had already lifted the ban.

It really is, holy crap. It’s like 1 paragraph per ad.

Did you read the article? No? Cmon. You should start doing that before drawing conclusions.

This is noted as a temporary block on the specific extensions ONLY within the country with regulatory power to ban Firefox. Russia.

Mozilla has stated this is temporary so they can have the breathing room to figure out how to navigate this. Since this goes against their principles.

It’s either Firefox is banned in Russia, or they do this. Which causes more harm? That’s a rough choice for them to need to make.

Welcome to the lowest common denominator.

It’s an infuriating world.

Firefox?

This is only in the country that has regulatory authority, Russian, and is stated as temporary so Mozilla can figure out what to do about it.

Imagine being to wishy washy that you can’t even read the article before doing a 180 on your principles.

When you say a locally owned pharmacy, can you elaborate?

The ones I’m familiar with are just at big stores here.

• Yes, U.S.
• I would pick up the dilute serum from the allergist and transport it myself. It’s specifically created for just me (The exact serum), so it’s not something attainable from the pharmacy.

Thank you so much for the knowledge! I’m going to take this and see what I can do. Thank you 🙏

Yeah, I thought it sounded unhinged. But I’m desperate, and don’t want to put myself at risk of a preventable death.

I’ve spent the greater part of my life as a shut in largely because I’m a sniffling, coughing, sneezing mess all day and night every day for 6-8 months of the year. And simply a sniffly mess for the rest.

I had one good summer last year and I can’t believe what I’m missing. Being able to do activities like hiking, or biking, going to the grocery store without being treated like I have the plague. Actually being able to go out to a restaurant or public places. Making friends, and actually being able to join them. Going to the movies…etc Not having to carry a whole-ass box a Kleenex with me everywhere I go.

It made me into a desperate man, realizing how much life I’m missing.

The comments here are fantastic, and incredibly helpful.

My allergist mentioned these, and noted that this is likely to be ineffective for me. Insurance also didn’t want to pay for it, though they shoveled out $4k for the serum for shots.

If I can’t get shots here though, I’ll try anything.

I love the nuance in this comics and how it seeks to understand why it is the way it is before passing judgement.

Or, ya know, kneejerk it.

Morning. One of my devices has been running unactivated W10 for something like 4+ years now.

It’s very likely that as a sole developer you are actually practicing agile as it’s intended and not corporate “agile”.

There isn’t a problem with agile there’s a problem with it being mislabeled and misused as a corporate & marketing tool for things that have nothing to do with agile.

fails to see reality

Reality is shown to them

Doubles down on their ignorance of reality

This thread is a textbook example of:

Don’t argue with morons. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Instead of actually arguing the topic at hand you are trying to drag all repliers down to your level, act in bad faith, and beat them with personal attacks 🤣

Classic.

Most people tend to be triggered by ignorance paraded as knowledge and petulant personal attacks due to an inability to engage like an adult.

To be fair.

Do you have sources for the statistic you’re using to drive your conclusion? Such as the trends of abstinence.

If it was local only, and more security focused I would 100%.
