giving about 5 clear indications that you’re from Ireland

now i am really curious, you wouldn’t be able to put red circle around these 5 clear indications, would you?

i am “this person”, you clown. is ireland the only country you know, or why did you decide to place me there? whatever ireland did to you must have obviously been something terrible to trigger you so much :D

my friend doesn’t get the joke. why should we care you are irish?

i have not found single dns that would resolve the domain (tried google dns, opendns, opennic.org, among others), so maybe it is just a config error.

$ host catflix.su 94.247.43.254
Using domain server:
Name: 94.247.43.254
Address: 94.247.43.254#53
Aliases: 

Host catflix.su not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

hm… i am not sure if this can be config error, or some censorship child protection is happening here.

i am in eu, in a relatively liberal country where no one cares about a torrent (yet), but i am in the vodafone network, so the latter would be not out of the realm of possibility.

$ host catflix.su ns1.ddos-guard.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.ddos-guard.net
Address: 185.129.101.200#53
Aliases: 

catflix.su has address 186.2.163.75

or it could be it is not delegated at all…

domain:        CATFLIX.SU
nserver:       ns1.ddos-guard.net.
state:         REGISTERED, NOT DELEGATED

$ host catflix.su

i have always wondered how this works from the legal point. what if you disagree, should you sue to get your money back? you are buying product with some expectations, they can’t just change that after you paid, can they?

it is similar with cars, what if you buy new car and the car’s infotainment asks you to accept some outrageous terms and conditions, you do bother to actually read them and then decline. can you get your money back? has anyone ever tried?

the headline sounds fucking scary, but i wonder what the reality really is. i am in my fourties, i remember news being printed on the paper, and i understand the media world and what the difference is between trustworthy media and tabloid.

still, lemmy is often times the first place where i see specific news, esp. regarding us politics (i am from eu) - but i choose links to reputable sources (which is not that hard, because lot of times the same info is linked 5 times from the different sources) and verify if needed.

so “gets news from social networks” would sound more ominous than i think my reality is. i don’t have tiktok, so i have no idea what the reality is there.

To really be sure would require knowing what software is actually doing

i am pretty sure you do know whether you wrote a text, or it just magically spawned in front of your eyes out of thin air - you don’t need degree in computer science for that.

when did you last check where your flash 8 installer is?

one billion kilograms has the same problem - it is ambiguous, because you have to guess whether you are using short or long scale.

you could say million tonnes, but ton is not SI unit and is again ambiguous, because there is many different tonnes.

correct presentation that isn’t open to interpretation is 1 x 10⁹ kilograms.

Why did he pay? Or does the hotel have access to his card and can charge whatever they wish at will?

I assume you mean one octillion of femtograms?

What?

How does sharing xenophobic bullshit on twitter “harm global tech community”?
