Some of them I am not fully sure if they are actually beans. B E A N S2·20 days agoThey aren’t. One is red lentil, the other red lentils. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•Syncthing 2.0 Launches With Major Database Overhaul3·23 days agoCan I ask about the change of not keeping record of deleted files after 6 months by default. Does that mean if I sync two directories constantly so that if syncthing sees one of them has a file deleted, it will delete the file on the other too, if I copy back that same file into the synced folder, after 6 months pass Syncthing would sync that file again? Or what else does this mean?
Currently I am just using this to have an easy transfer between two computers, I keep moving out files that have been transferred from both folders, so I would think this has no effect on how I use it?
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•The train that never came; how maglev technology was derailed113·24 days agoYeah, how is it so unbelievable that when you go twice the speed you are twice as fast but when you go a third faster in speed you only go a third fast in time. Diminishing returns is something else, like you would go a third faster in speed but arrive only a quarter faster.

ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•OpenAI claims new GPT-5 model boosts ChatGPT to ‘PhD level’161·28 days agoI mean, that doesn’t really mean much, given that you don’t have to be very intelligent to get one. It’s mostly an endurance exercise and often a test how much frustration and uncertainty you can take in your life.
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else have issues with private browsing in the newest (141.0.0) Fennec release?1·29 days agoIt still does all of that though? The only thing that stopped working was that you use the standard app shortcut to start it in private mode. And for that you can make a separate shortcut.
It still works if you follow a link from another app that it opens that in private mode. It still works that the browser closes tabs automatically after a set time and that it clears history fully upon quiting.
I am not sure what you are now missing.
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Does anyone else have issues with private browsing in the newest (141.0.0) Fennec release?4·1 month agoThe open links in private tab works fine still. However what OP means, and I can confirm that, you were able to setup Fennec to always start in private mode when you open it, without making a specific shortcut for it.
I just checked in Ironfox and there it still works like that. I could however not find a specific setting that does this.
So this makes me think, OP, what you and I were using was maybe never intended to work as expected but potentially a bug that got fixed. You can still open links automatically in private mode and you can add the extra shortcut for when you manually start the browser.
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@lemmy.ml•Your vacation plans might be ruined by bots triggering fake bookings and crashing travel sites during checkout23·1 month agoSo, first of all:
One key issue is “seat spinning,” where bots initiate the booking process but do not complete payment - by hoarding inventory temporarily, they reduce availability and may create a false perception of scarcity, which can influence pricing algorithms.
Pretty sure any “reputable” flight company is already doing that. I am not sure any consumer can really get clear evidence though. They don’t need bots for this, they just tell their booking portal to lie.
Moving on:
In some cases, bots resell the tickets they secure through “ticket scalping,” pushing genuine customers toward inflated prices or unavailable flights.
Reselling means people book flights via what, eBay? Is there a market for reselling flight tickets? Depending on the country involved, destination and so on these bookings require you to leave a name or even passport details.
I’ve stopped reading after this paragraph. Is this just an AI written article of made up issues?
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are the best lemmy servers in your opinion..?1·2 months agoHell no. Too much drama.
ook@discuss.tchncs.deto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I want to travel to a different country, should it be Spain, Portugal, or France?1·2 months agoAlmost none of that seems relevant for tourism. I also as a tourist in France on several occasions never noticed anything shutting down middle of the day, but I was never in rural France. I assume OP may not start their adventure in rural areas either.
Am I too European to understand what this is about?
Finally made the switch to Ironfox which replaces Mull as a even more privacy friendly firefox fork on android. Ironfox doesn’t have that problem currently.
