With a couple of tweaks you got yourself the Zoomer app edition of Mortal Combat.

We have truly distilled humanity's confident stupidity into its most efficient form.

Hahaha, I wish.

You would be amazed at how ancient and poorly maintained many web servers are on the modern internet. SQL injection still consistently make the top 3 web app vulnerabilities as of 2021. If that isn't being sanitized properly I don't expect emojis would be handled much better.

Through a low tech social engineering attack referred to as SIM Jacking, an attacker can have your number moved to their SIM card, redirecting all SMS 2FA codes effectively making the whole thing useless as a security measure. Despite this, companies still implement it out of both laziness and to collect phone numbers (which is often why SMS MFA is forced)

Usually it's the scammer probing to see if the charge will go through before hitting it with ever increasing amounts until someone or something flags it. Sometimes it's made out to be some common subscription service, hidden fee, or included tip. Good that you caught it early.

I'm inclined to agree, otherwise it would be like calling a FPV kamakazi drone a missile.

Naming aside, kinda terrifying that these could theoretically be travelling autonomously far deeper than any sub thanks to the lack of a pressure vessel.

Only if you call the deep-throating spez is giving him 'mentoring'. It's starting to make WSB loss porn look mild in comparison to the ongoing conga line of platform self-destruction.

You assume that the state ever took responsibility for their role in Chernobyl. To them that was all someone else's fault just as it will be Ukraine/NATO's fault for setting off the mines and not bending a knee to Russia's demands. Real-world logic doesn't make sense to them, never has.

Pretty sure there is a self hosted version already. Seen a couple of Twitch streamers use it so I see no reason an instance couldn't run one with lemmy logins.

I opted to switch to NewPipe and YMusic and haven't looked back since.

Oh it was so much worse than that. Google indirectly banned every 3rd party app on the Play Store from streaming videos in the background to push that feature. Seemingly overnight every app that could do it vanished or cut the feature. Sure you can sideload a fix but your average non-savvy users got screwed into paying up.

Oh absolutely. I just use it as an example because it's one of only a few heavily restricted subs that hasn't yet been purged by admins.
