Karma isn’t visible on Lemmy, but my instance (Mbin) shows it as “reputation”. If you’re curious, yours is 39482.

That’s a problem inherent to public social media platforms. Web/API scrapers have existed forever; the fediverse just makes it a little easier since you can run your own instance and gather data automatically.

At that point you might as well just send it as text.

Unfortunately most QR readers don’t recognize an image regardless of the data format.

Depends on what you consider readable, but I got it down to 2842 bytes by downscaling it and using an absolutely atrocious quality setting:

That’s just small enough to fit inside a QR code, so I did that! (You probably can’t scan it with a typical QR reader; you need something like zbar that supports reading binary data).

I don’t see how looking like me would help them get CCTV footage, unless it’s through some sort of supernatural means. And even if they could find footage of me entering a password, they’d be hard-pressed to extract individual keystrokes from a typical CCTV quality recording. Perhaps it’s technically possible, but it’s certainly not trivial.

Same as I do now, passwords. Unless they inherited my memories, in which case who’s to say I’m not the doppelganger?

Hence, good for everything except humans. And the global population is still rising, though as you said developed countries are responsible for very little of that growth.

I mean… Castrating 75% of the population would certainly put a damper on our rapid population growth, which would be good for everything except humans.

I only get paid $1 per hour as a teacher’s assistant, and my workdays are five hours. Truth be told, this $5 job is considered one of the best in the prison.

Prison is legalized slavery.

To be extra convincing, park a white pickup truck with flashing lights nearby. That also gives you somewhere to throw all the spikes instead of just piling them up on the ground.

Remember, when you see anti-homeless architecture, you are morally obliged to come back later with a hammer to correct it.

I wonder why my friends make excuses so often when I ask to hang out…

You add milk to your cereal?

If you’re going to stick to the rules in the future I wouldn’t worry about it; the main reason ban evasion isn’t allowed is to keep out repeat offenders. (And you have no obligation to tell anyone that you were banned on a different account).

Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.

How far do you have to be into the AI shit bubble to think everyone is cheating with AI? Some people are always going to cheat, but that’s been true since long before AI tools existed. Most people have some level of integrity and desire to actually learn from the classes they’re paying thousands to attend.
