I get on my VPN to provide less data to Google. Routing my traffic through an advertising company always felt like a bad idea to me.
Stealing advanced chat bots, that’s a great way to describe it.
I wish Biden would say something to the effect of "I’m the president of the United States, I don’t entertain ‘demands’ from candidates '.
About every other post I make proudly wears the (edited) badge. I feel you.
They do, and it works because it is poking fun of the corporate hellscape we live in, which is whimsical. If they become real ads it will make the games less fun to play.
VR makes it even creepier with eye and head tracking. Not only will they present tailored ads, they will know which ones draw your gaze.
#1. The CCCP is Soviet Russia. #2. The requirement is that Bytedance sells tiktok (along with it’s proprietary algorithms) to a US based company.
I would much rather pay for windows than become the product with ads, AI, and analytics.
Luckily this is coming at a time where I can run nearly everything on Linux that I previously needed Windows for (with the exception of a handful of games in my steam library)
That’s not the only new kid on the block. AI and blockchain eat tons of electricity.

There is a whole class of “influencers” that get paid to shill for everything from liquor to policy on every platform. Tiktok, a foreign company, owns the algorithm, so they can promote whatever they want.
This all seems sketchy, but then I recall citizens united and the fact that billions are spent directly purchasing influence in the actual government. They just don’t like some other entity putting their finger on the scale.
I’d much prefer systematic reform where money can’t buy influence and companies (US or otherwise) can’t spy on their users, yet that will never be on the table because of the money and power Facebook and others have.
I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I’ll probably never be able to completely separate due to the number of accounts linked to it, but I’ve been eyeing Proton or similar paid privacy focused offerings.
There is nothing about net neutrality in either the constitution or the bible. Clearly something like this shouldn’t be done.
I’m done with Roku. I have one in every room, but they all need to go.
Some are much more capable of disguising it during the interview process.
In the tech industry around the pandemic there was the great resignation and companies were tripping over themselves to employ as many people as possible. It was great then because you had so many options and they were all seemingly similar job descriptions.
Now the site is shitty and getting a job is terrible. Woo capitalism!
This is a really interesting idea, but a password manager would throw a wrench in it.
I’d assume my password was invalidated or stored incorrectly, so I’d reset, then I’d try to log in, wtf… this website blows.
The problem is that companies like Intuit have resources/lobbyists and really want to maintain their position in the market.
Your system sounds wonderful though.
Nowadays it’s llm powered bots all the way down.
It’s not very sexy, but I just use SFTP and filezilla. Filezilla is available for all the major operating systems, and an ssh server is basically required anyways.
It reads like it was written by a highschooler or AI.
