Trying to order something on a website was not working at the payment step, I tried everything like removing the accent in my name, changing my delivery address, paying with different cards, changing delivery method.

The phone support told me I should see with my bank, but offered to generate an order with a link to pay, so we tried this and it didn't work.

Then, after a second call, I've been told that it was certainly my bank because they spent 10 minutes investigating and they do not block anything, and just at the end, they told me that I should try with a @gmail.com address because they have a system that may block orders from "suspicious addresses". I changed my email to something else (not gmail.com though :D ) and it worked

-_-

Who decided there that gmail.com addresses are more legit than others? Most of the scam I receive is sent from gmail :flan_molotov: :flan_bored:

If God made love this messy then God should be prepared to work on their relationships

you all know how excel likes to make everything into a date and how this made scientists to give up and change the names of some genes so as not to be converted into dates.

okay, so at what point will all these ai systems start having similar effects on science, only at a much larger scale and at the level of actual measurements and observations? if a camera, microphone or sensor does some ✨ ai magic ✨ before the data is even presented or saved, how much of our research will become corrupted?

“Meta abandons fact checking” and “Meta deploys fake AI-generated accounts to boost human engagement” were announced a countable number of hours apart, but for some reason people don’t think they’re the same story.

I'm seeing tons of folks saying that they *can't* delete their Meta accounts for reasons x, y, or z. But guess what? There is only a single reason and it's called the network effect.

If you make your living via one of those platforms, I totally get it. But if you're just keeping your Meta account open for convenience because "that's how I stay in touch" I don't consider that a valid reason. If one person leaves, that does nothing. If many leave, that's a called a start.
