What I’d love to see even more than that is some kind of pigment cartridge system. You’d use natural, unpigmented filament and the printer would inject pigment in different mixtures as it prints. Just seems… I dunno. More efficient?

I remember seeing a YouTube video (that I might search for and find again if I remember) where some company had developed (and probably patented) an approach that involved inkjet-coloring as it printed. I remember the colors looked pretty pale and washed-out looking. Not vibrant the way I would have hoped. But the approach might be one that could be improved on. 🤷

Ok. That helps a lot. Thanks much! I’ll take that back to my drawing board and I’d imagine that’ll fix things for me.

Hrm, well, now I’m noticing that I’m getting inconsistent results.

I keep getting {"error":"rate_limit_error"} from the login endpoint, and I’ve made… maybe 10 requests to that endpoint over the course of the day? And I’ve had that block this user (like, my @TootSweet account) from being able to log in. But I really don’t think I’m sending any noticeable amount more traffic than I would be without the bot testing.

But sometimes I get past login and get a Cloudflare page back on another call. (In the unhappy path it tries to DM me, and it’s tried that and failed.)

Maybe I’m just not waiting long enough between requests? I had it set to wait 3 seconds between requests, but maybe I’ll bump it up to 5.

Thanks very much for your help so far. Sorry to throw more at you here. It seems the previous Cloudflare issue isn’t what I’m running into any more at least.

I was super confused there for a minute. Lol.

I’m not using any headless browser or anything. I’m using Go’s “net/http” package from the standard library which just… makes HTTP requests. I’m making requests to endpoints like https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user/login and https://lemmy.world/api/v3/post. The basic happy-path process is that every time it runs, it:

• Gets the community id by name.
• Logs in (getting the JWT token).
• And then posts to the community in question (using the JWT token).

The user agent it uses is Go-http-client/1.1 if that helps any.

Exactly! Until I decide to do another SQL injection to change the response to “with tabs shalt thou indent thine code and never with spaces” or “I hereby decree dogs rule and cats drool.”

Dear God, I pray for a '; update responses_lookup_table set response = ‘New commandment: thou shalt not put pineapple on pizza.’; –

I still haven’t finished 100 percenting Spiderman 2 (2004) and I’ve only got 10 years to go before I’m 50.

Took me a while to even figure out vaguely what you were talking about here. I use DuckDuckGo exclusively for search. (And I use DuckDuckGo for search mostly because they let me turn off LLM BS.) I wasn’t aware they offered a browser. (I assume what you’re talking about is the DuckDuckGo browser/app, right? Not, say, search or LLM services or whatever.)

When you say “browsing and tracking through my apps”, what do you mean exactly? Did you have the impression that having the DuckDuckGo browser installed on your phone will prevent other apps from tracking you somehow? Or are you saying that by using the webapp of whatever particular service through the DuckDuckGo browser rather than an official app, you avoid tracking built into the app? (If that’s what you’re saying it at least sounds plausible. But if you’re thinking having DuckDuckGo on your phone will prevent, say, Google Play from tracking you (assuming Google Play is installed on your phone), I can’t see how that could be the case. But I also wouldn’t think DuckDuckGo would make the claim that it would. Unless you and DuckDuckGo know something I don’t.) Or when you say “browsing and tracking through my apps” do you really mean web trackers? (Or maybe apps can interact with web stuff through the browser in ways that I’m not thinking of.)

I guess what I’m asking is what specifically is the privacy claim related to DuckDuckGo that you’re asking the veracity of?

Whatever the case, it’s entirely possible that the particular claim you’re asking about isn’t true, but that it’s also not a claim that DuckDuckGo makes nor that they’d expect people to think about their products and so isn’t any particular reason for your coworker to dunk on DuckDuckGo.

My first thought was Flow.

One small step for a frog…

Mindfulness. Note your behaviors. Note what leads to your behaviors. It’ll give you insight into what in your life and in your mind leads to “kind” actions as well as what leads to “unkind” actions, which is a huge part of the effort to become more kind.

Being told exactly why you’re getting downvotes and telling them they’re wrong and you’re in the right is being Principal Skinner.

Huh. Guess he was telling the truth after all.

Even if an LLM hallucinates a sentiment that we like, it’s still slop.

I’ve been playing a Gamecube game (Spiderman 2 (2004)) on original hardware lately (slight lie - playing on a backwards-compatible Wii, but with an official Nintendo Gamecube controller) and the analogue L/R are quite annoying. Given that the analogueness doesn’t do anything in the game I’m playing unless you fully press it, it’s more like a non-analogue trigger with a ridiculous depression distance.

Be safe. Use a good VPN for pirated content and don’t trust that what you download is what you expect it to be.

Found out it’s satire after downvoting. Maintaining my downvote because you should have put “satire” in the title. (It’s not too late to do so.) Plus the Principal-Skinner-esque responses to people in the comments here.

The Switch 2 isn’t region locked. 😮 That’s awesome!

I’m still waiting to get one, hoping for a jailbreak kind of vulnerability. (I doubt we’ll get anything as awesome as Fusée Gelée, but I think even if it needs a mod chip, I’ll probably go that direction.)

I have used vibe coding

You really need to take what I’m about to say seriously and not dismiss it offhand.

It’s possible this is AI psychosis. Don’t use AI any more. At all. It’s fucking with your mind. Also recommended: seek help. This is not meant as an insult. I’m really concerned for your mental health. You need to reach out to a professional.
