You see, they don’t trust Big Pharma and multi-billion dollar corporations, that’s why they do their “research” using only small artisanal free range websites like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok…

So American voters get to not only eat shit, but now also drink it? How oddly appropriate…

That’s good and I’m genuinely glad they’re trying to clarify it, but it proves yet again that their top management is out of touch with reality and their users: somebody (most likely more than one person actually) had to sign off on these changes and the message they sent out - this whole thing could have been avoided if they understood their users better (and/or if they actually cared nore about what users think).

That’s the advanced cutting edge AI recommendation system for you. Oh, you just bought a fridge and a large TV? Here are fifty more fridges and large TVs that would be great for your fridge and large TV collection! And also a cheap Chinese knockoff impact drill, because they paid us to show it to people searching for fridges, TVs, jewelry, mineral water and potting soil!

This is exactly what “blinded by hate” refers to. He wasn’t attacked, he was not in any danger, he simply decided to attempt murdering people because they dared to exist in the same approximate space. This is how much he hates “those people” - that he felt justified in killing them on sight with zero provocation…

It continuously baffles me how the principles of conservatism seem to be, in a way, the exact opposite to Buddhism - they aim to increase the amount of suffering in the world as much as possible…

It seems like conservatives believe that the only way to reduce their own suffering is to make someone else suffer more. Where does this zero sum idea come from? I find it completely alien and difficult to comprehend…

“When it detects a user may be under 18, Google will notify them that it has changed some of their settings and will offer information about how users can verify their age with a selfie, credit card, or government ID.”

This will definitely not be used to get a massive amount of face and ID data from users who get misclassified as underage due to “glitches” and suddenly locked out from their Gmail accounts or Android phones. Nope, no sirree, that will never happen at all, Google wouldn’t do such an unethical and evil thing!

What a wonderful world we live in - boneless chicken with bones, ad-free streaming with ads, unlimited plans with limits… What’s next, Nestle releasing microplastics and cadmium free water (guess what’s in it!)?

How soon until unless you own a couple of these you’ll be branded a terrorist Antifa supporting illegal criminal?

Pretty on point for tech bros then - they keep “inventing” shit that already exists, but for some reason now requires an app, blockchain AI, or both (sorry, used an older buzzword first, but that one is already out of fashion).

Just wait, I’m sure soon a wild techbro will appear with a great solution to this problem that will require you to install an app and surrender all your data and biometrics in order to open those cases yourself to get a damn toothbrush or some shaving cream…

Problem is, unless you’re rich and powerful crimes tend to have consequences - they only “just let you do it” when your account balance already has a certain number of digits…

I have no complaints about Lemmy, but posting on Mastodon is basically screaming into the void - I’ve been trying for more than a year, and I basically hardly ever get any reaction at all. In comparison, in the first week on Bluesky I found multiple people following me, commenting on my silly wine and cactuses posts, and in general just interacting.

Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer Mastodon technically and ethically, but it’s just so goddamned barren and dead I feel completely unmotivated to post there…

Zorin has a pro tier that costs money but it’s supposed to have the look and feel of classic Windows - maybe it’s that?

And in the next episode of “Americans voting against their best interest because they moronically believe one day soon they will be wearing the boot that they’re currently being crushed under”…

Amen. Basically this survey reads to me as “we decided to focus on AI and we need some pretty graphs to show it’s an awesome idea - please tell us why you think AI is the best thing ever!”

"A new eye-opening report (that we are not going to link, or even give you a title of, because trust us bro) has revealed something surprising about our social media platforms

This clickbait title will make you (or at least me) not want to click the link because it sounds like a shitty ad!💥🔥🍄

Amen to that. I’m not a busy CEO of four companies, I don’t need or want an assistant, digital or otherwise. I want to read through articles and watch videos, I can scroll/fast-forward through myself if I feel like it. And while we’re at it, I don’t really need or want personalized anything - just give me ALL the search results and I’ll sort through them myself. Luddite? Maybe, but I literally cannot think of a case where this would be useful or helpful to me…
