@omicron if i were disabled in a way that CAPTCHAs were extra difficult, I would have a lawyer on retainer just to litigate a series of lawsuits. And I bet it would be easy to crowd-fund the lawyer's fees.
Considering the legal protections disabled & impaired people have in most of the developed world, why doesn't there seem to be any legal actions pushing back on CAPTCHAs? Even gov. sanctioned public services are imposing #CAPTCHA with reckless disregard.
@cadadr @anahata@tech.lgbt still gets flagged as English in my case.
@anahata@tech.lgbt @cadadr now i will flip the order et parle francais apres
@anahata@tech.lgbt @cadadr answer: "language: en"
@cadadr @anahata@tech.lgbt Als ik spreek beetje Nederlands et je parle petite peu francais and then write some English, which language gets announced?
@waweic @anahata@tech.lgbt it is auto detected. I just looked at one of your English toots and a German one. They were both marked correctly. My problem is that my client app does not make use of that info.
It warms my heart to see people posting dirt on #Amazon on prime day. I hope that becomes a tradition.

Every toot has "language: en" or "language: de", etc. in the metadata that comes with it, so do any #Mastodon clients use translate.fedilab.app to translate into language of choice?

Amazon is destroying millions of items of unsold stock in one of its UK warehouses every year, an ITV News investigation has uncovered. Many of the products - including smart TVs and laptops - are often new and unused.
@murtezayesil A boss once told me: you've created a dragon and that dragon has started having litters of baby dragons. (guess I'll leave that off my CV)
@murtezayesil the remaining 10-30 goes toward a project that never finishes because it's out-paced by the scope creep manifesting from the sidetracks, which then branch into more sidetracks
About ~70-90% of what I do in a day is a sidetrack of what I intended to do.
@fribbledom indeed i cannot count the number of programmers who name an object or function that returns an object something other than a noun even when the object of function would not serve an /if/ conditional.

@h_tejas but because it's not legally classified as an investment, Amazon dodges the accountability they would have had they cheated real investors.

@h_tejas Here's what bothers me about what #Amazon did to that guy: when he bought the AI camera he wasn't strictly a consumer, he was also an investor in the sense that he was betting that Amazon's product would succeed & he had his own skin in the game. When Amazon cannabalized their own successful product to enhance another product, they stiffed their investor/customer.
@Bmz @txusinho @jb @Mojeek @werwolf if you can get it working, another cool feature of Ss is that non-Cloudflare sites that directly block Tor are listed with a strikethrough, so you can avoid them or you can click the favicon to visit an archive mirror of those sites. I hope Mojeek is listening so they can consider introducing the same features.
@werwolf @Mojeek @jb @txusinho @Bmz There is a clearnet-only link to Ss: https://sercxi.eu.org/ I've not used it, and I've heard someone say that doesn't work either. The only other thing to perhaps try is to add a ".to" to the end (*onion.to is an [insecure] bridge from clearnet to tor). Or maybe try booting a recent Tails Live OS.
@Bmz @txusinho @jb @Mojeek @werwolf Ss is the only search engine in the world that filters out #Cloudflare sites, which is essential to Tor users not using Tor Browser, & important to anyone who values privacy. Someone else told me they couldn't reach it with Tor Browser but I have no idea why. It works for me as long as I'm using a version that supports onion v3.
