Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men
  • I've definitely appreciated when certain cool, open minded creators have released content DRM free but they are going against the grain of the big money platforms. But, I agree, like many things that would make the world a little cooler, there's no concrete reason it couldn't be done.

  • Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men
  • But would it disappear someday without warning? I'm not one to do a lot of pirating but the times I'm most tempted to take up the habit are when things that were supposed to be "purchased" just disappear and there's nothing customers can do about it...or when I see some crazy anti-pirating argument. The urge to do it out of spite is real.

  • Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn't war — it was annihilation
  • If the influence of ideology is enough to convince you to snipe children in the head, you're still a bad person. Weird take to be presented with children who were shot by a weapon that's purpose built for accuracy and rush to defend the person that pulled the trigger. Edit: grammar

  • New York Times podcast “The Daily” runs a greenwashing BP ad | The Daily promised to end fossil fuel sponsorships in 2021. BP promised to stop “corporate reputation advertising” in 2020.
  • I used to listen to to The Daily pretty frequently but in the past few years, I have become increasingly frustrated with the quality of journalism. I don't know if they have changed or if I've just become more aware. They're definitely not going to any great lengths to afflict the comfortable.

  • Costco, you're a good company. Do better with your bank
  • Yeah, I was thinking of some of the home goods like knives or silverware. I bought a beard trimmer that could have come in a nice slim box and instead I got enough cardboard and empty space to hold 4 more. For me that has become the norm at Costco and I feel gross every time for participating.

  • Costco, you're a good company. Do better with your bank
  • This might seem petty by comparison but I feel like Costco is one of the worst for having wildly oversized packaging with so much wasted material. It hurts a little every time I buy something from them these days. I don't know that I've seen much about it but the additional energy to produce and transport small goods with oversized packaging has to add up, no?

  • Amazon Prime Video to include ads starting Jan 29
  • I've been getting spammed with podcast ads lately, telling me I should switch to Amazon for podcasts bc it is ad free. Then the fast, fine print portion at the end says "some content may include ads".

    Fuck all of that.

  • HP misreads room, awkwardly brags about its “less hated” printers
  • I got my ecotank two years ago and haven't had a reason to buy ink since. I still have plenty of the ink that came with it. The most frustrating thing has been that I have to let it run through a cleaning cycle when I haven't printed in a while. Well, that and the fact it took me a second to realize it doesn't support WPA3.
