i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a “conductor’s coal” scent, though.

Fridge Magnets have a practical use

why do you think it’s a magnet? it looks like a sticker.

Important context!

They had to change this because newer laws like the CCPA classify some ways of transferring/processing data as a “sale”, even if no money is exchanged.

What? No. Do you really think their “sharing” with “partners” who are “providing sponsored suggestions” doesn’t involve money being exchanged? 🤔

Here is an abridged version of that FAQ entry consisting only of substrings of it:

The reason we’ve stepped away from making blanket claims that “We never sell your data” is because […] to make Firefox commercially viable […] we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar

All of the other words in there implying that they had to stop promising not to sell user data because of some (implied to be unreasonable) “LEGAL definition” of “sale” is imo insulting to the reader.

it works for me. did you forget to pay your git bill?

I haven’t heard of academics and/or media from China advocating for applications of phrenology/physiognomy or other related racist pseudosciences. Have you?

one can also get the full paper directly from yale here without needing to solve a google captcha:

I don’t have the time nor the expertise to read everything to understand how they take into account the bias that good looking white men with educated parents are way more likely to succeed at life.

i admittedly did not read the entire 61 pages but i read enough to answer this:

Plastic surgery would become more popular.

One of the paper’s authors had the same thought:

“Suppose this type of technology gets used in labor market screening, or maybe dating markets,” Shue muses. “Going forward, you could imagine a reaction in which people then start modifying their pictures to look a certain way. Or they could modify their actual faces through cosmetic procedures.”‌

She also bizarrely says that:

“we are very much not advocating that this technology be used by firms as part of their hiring process.”

and yet, for some reason:

The next step for Shue and her colleagues is to explore whether certain personality types are drawn to specific industries or whether those personality types are more likely to succeed within given industries.

i haven’t used it myself but https://jmp.chat/ looks good if you’re OK with a US or Canadian number.

there is a lemmy community about it here: !sopranica@lemmy.ml.

cc @singpolyma@lemmy.ml

five consecutive posts in a single community is a bit much for what is essentially the same story. why not put them all in the body of a single post where they could be discussed together?

you made five posts about this just in !usa@lemmy.ml

When Miamoto died,

Or, you know, just block domains that use Microsoft email

I’m guessing you probably don’t realize how many organizations host their email with Microsoft.

here is a link to the @DropSiteNews tweet which this post is a cropped screenshot of

Democrats like yourself insisted that this wasn’t a big deal
