This is a good idea, as it might eventually lead to policies or laws that would reduce the spam.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for resolution any time soon, though. Keep in mind that some of the biggest influence campaigns targeting US politics are run by foreign parties, and bulk text messages are cheap and consequence-free. Sadly, stopping it might require changing your phone number.

Yes, of course they could. Generating an image fingerprint is not all that computationally expensive by today's standards.

Is it unique enough to track you? It doesn't have to be, since online tracking generally keys off of a set of data, rather than a single item. But just for the sake of argument, consider that services like tineye and google images have pretty good success at matching images even with no additional data.

Is it (or will it eventually be) worthwhile for data collectors? You would have to ask them.

Let's not forget that copyright enforcement is mostly funded by taxpayers. It's a collectively massive cost to the rest of us.

It probably made sense for a limited time when we (society) were getting something of comparable value (cultural works) in return. But now that it's effectively endless, and dominated by corporations, it looks an awful lot like systematic extraction of wealth... from us.

Indeed, protocol is independent from implementation language, but that isn't the question at hand.

Do you know whether Beehaw will still federate with the lemmyverse (and therefore the rest of us) after moving to Sublinks?

That could also mean client API-compatible, so Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn't address federation.

Will it federate with Lemmy? I would miss you folks.

I find this to either be a lie or self inflicted.

"I've never experienced what you describe, so it must be either imagined or your own fault."

I've seen this nonsense over and over again in communities of all kinds, most often in tech forums (where there are always a few participants suffering from a big-fish-little-pond effect). It's a very rude and foolish bit of human behavior.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Who cares? It’s run by reactionary incels, transphobes, and racists.

Wait until you find out who runs Lemmy development.

Why would I want to scan a qr code on my phone to read shit on a tiny screen you could’ve just printed on the computers display?

Because getting it off your crashed computer's display and into text format, so it can be grepped or posted in a bug report, is a cumbersome task. (OCR tools are not ubiquitous, convenient, or reliable.) And an impossible task when half the crash dump scrolled off the screen.

Also this is gonna play out great in secured environments where cameras are a no no.

It's optional.

Leave shit like this to the fuckers with no taste at Microsoft. Kernel panics are supposed to be verbose.

That's how I felt when the BSoD screen was introduced, but with this new way of using it to reliably deliver more information than ever before, it's starting to look useful.
