Right? The protest was just the lighter. Now we watch as the fuse burns. Fuck off Gizmodo, Reddit didn’t win shit yet

Everyone thinks about the spying as relating to themselves, the individual.

Google doesn’t give a shit about you. Google gives a shit about us. Collectively. They can monitor the collective soul of the world. When people are busy, when they’re not paying attention, when they’re mad, who, and for how long; how they react to certain subjects…how to get them to listen about certain subjects, how to bring them around to certain subjects, how to keep them disagreeing with other viewpoints, etc.

They’re literally developed “a remote control for the flock” and everyone’s out here like “why do I care if Google see my save games I have 500 hours in CoD so wut”

VHS won because you could record more than 30 minutes on a tape

These men are soyjacks, Donny

Yeah, Linux users have always had a blind spot for dependency hell when talking about freedom of choice.

Snap seemed like a cool idea until I tried it

These days, with “big data” analysis being possible on such a large scale, it’s possible to gauge the position of the general population, or of subgroup of such with ease. This makes it easy to divide and conquer, to manufacture consent, for whatever those who have access to said analysis desire.

I always tell people, it’s not about your data, it’s about our data.

The real heros are the creators who blog their scripts and link them in the description of the video 🥹you da real mvp

That first guy went 3 days and then posted a follow-up looking for constipation relief.

Seems that opened the floodgates. 😏

Heated seats you have to pay to unlock (but regardless have to pay to haul around) is the most late stage capitalist brainworm bullshit.

It should be illegal, and/or it should NOT be illegal to hack around the paywall if you purchase the car.

You see, gentlemen? True patriots do still exist. 🥲

Lol straight up told on himself live in the comments

If the Dino game isn’t in Chromium then it belongs to Google and is absolutely protected by their copyright.

Not even journalists understand IP law these days. They’re like “the patent was filed so that competing products could be DMCA’d” 🤦‍♂️

Uninstalling the entire kubuntu package, while reverting to “core Debian” and then installing the Ubuntu package would be more complicated and time-consuming than installing a new OS.

Just partition off your /home and a reinstall won’t be that big a deal.

I agree

Ok

But that should be up to Ruud, not us

Ok, so you actually don’t

Not really sure what you mean? If you mean login using Wordpress as an identity provider, that is not a feature that any lemmy instance provides IIRC.

Gonna be hard when even the founder clearly doesn’t

Don’t kid yourself. Reddit was valuable to pretty much all of you or else you wouldn’t continuously shitpost about it.

Also I know you’re a former redditor because you’re parroting the same tired-ass old line that is top comment on every thread about something bad happening to someone or some thing they don’t like. Get some new material.

EDIT: Speaking of getting new material, I should try not to be as snarky. Get the alien out of your head, my man. We don't need to do that to entertain ourselves anymore. I apologize to @errer@lemmy.world, and I take that shit back. I hope you got a laugh out of it as intended, even though there was no real way to tell it was supposed to be a bit cheeky.

It did still frustrate me to see all that knowledge just hand-waved like what happened was no big deal. I guess "couldn't have happened to a nicer boardroom" or something would have clicked better lol but I'd imagine we're probably on the same page about it at the end of the day.

Anyway, let's all be cool, Lemmy fucking rocks, we're nice here, save the sarcasm for mocking actual malice instead of eating each other. I'll try to be better.
