State actors could be interested in doing that. Same with the internet archive attacks.

Oh no that's terrible. Which pharmacies are doing that so I know the ones to avoid?

Anon asks what's wrong with himself
When I was much younger this was an issue because I'd pursue people out of loneliness, not because they were actually a good match. After we'd be together for a few weeks, the loneliness would go away, and then I'd realise that I didn't like them to begin with. Awful to do that to other people, I know.
Worked on it through therapy and overcame this behaviour.

I'm not sure where this is from, but I like it
This is the photo I use as an example when people complain about editing in photography. The diagonal shadow was famously added in post production:

Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ?
I've blocked the instance quite a while ago. In the beginning I was just blocking communities, but the users spill everywhere unless you go nuclear.

Halls of Torment is Diablo cranked up to 50,000 kills/hour
l don't understand people who think there's any meaningful comparison between Diablo and HoT.
HoT is a vampire-survivors game, and in my opinion is the actual best in the genre, I have dozens of hours in it. This type of gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with ARPGs.

What media has your favorite worldbuilding?
Dune is incredibly unique. Scifi without computers and genetic magic. All politics. The books are outstanding.
Caves of Qud was my first contact with post post-apocalypse. Can't even begin to convey how strange and magical everything feels in that universe.

For me it's about the customer service. I stayed in 30 airbnbs in 2 years and when I needed Airbnb, they fully sided with the host who was lying and faked chat screenshots, didn't bother to get any proof from my side and just penalised me.
On the other hand, with Booking, I always felt fully supported by customer service.
I'll only use airbnb if there's absolutely no other option. It's a liability, even more for longer stays.

Looking for a forever ROBOT
What's the woman equivalent of a neckbeard?
A woman on 4chan with those requirements and can't keep a conversation going, has no sense of humour, doesn't have a car, lives with their parents, and doesn't speak a word when you go out with your friends.

Swedish criminal gangs using fake Spotify streams to launder money
I might be wrong, but this sounds like bullshit.
Can you imagine the conversion rate between "Paying for fake plays" -> Spotify royalty checks?

Spanish parents are rallying to ban cell phones for children under 16
Reply in thread
It's not simple, and the fact that you are trying to make it sound simple is confusing at best.
Even if a very small percentage of teens has a phone, the social pressure for all to have it becomes unbearable.
Plus things like marketing phones to children and teens would also be banned if a law like that were to come into effect.

"LLM did something silly" must be the most boring type of concern bait out there.

I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design
Inscryption, there's a reason it's such a highly rated game on steam.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1092790/Inscryption/
Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards...

You should never forget Unit 731
Both the Soviet Union and United States gathered data from the Unit after the fall of Japan. While twelve Unit 731 researchers arrested by Soviet forces were tried at the December 1949 Khabarovsk war crimes trials, they were sentenced lightly to the Siberian labor camp from two to 25 years, in exchange for the information they held.[10] Those captured by the US military were secretly given immunity,[11] The United States helped cover up the human experimentations and handed stipends to the perpetrators.[1] The US had co-opted the researchers' bioweapons information and experience for use in their own warfare program (resembling Operation Paperclip), as did the Soviet Union in building their bioweapons facility in Sverdlovsk using documentation captured from the Unit in Manchuria.[12][10][13]
