It uses other signals too, like what other sites you've visited with that checkbox on it, what CloudFlare has seen your IP address doing in the past, etc.

The google one is able to see if you're logged into a google account and take that into account.

There's even a new variant of the Google captcha that is invisible and doesn't even bother to show a checkbox.

I think they're lawful evil, more devils than demons.

A crash is different to a SEGFAULT. I'd be very surprised to see a safe rust program segfault unless it was actively exploiting a compiler bug.

You need everyone else in the EU to agree to remove them. Poland and Hungary sort of protect each other from EU consequences.

I couldn't imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it's an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I'd never go back to anything else.

Just a note that my PR there doesn't disable pictrs for your own instance's users. It just disables the caching of remote content.

I don't know about lemmy.world but I assume they "purged" the user instead of banning them (or at least that's what I did for my instance). Purging wipes all of their data from your instance and exists as a feature basically for this reason. That means that the user wouldn't have a visible account to ban anymore because it literally removes them from the database.

Only way to be sure that your server doesn't have any of their content on it.

I was getting close to hitting the end of my free object storage so there was time pressure involved haha.

Seems to work but I haven't tested it too much. Currently running on my instance.

Having a Result[T, Err] monad that could represent either the data from a successful operation or an error. This can be generalised to the Either[A, B] monad too.

Sync for Lemmy, JetBrains IDEs, and Sublime Text to name a few.

Twitter/microblogging is a weird thing in general but you seem to have the idea. It can be useful for following events or people who write interesting things.

Mastodon hashtags are the way to discover conversations and people to follow, they go across instances in search.
