On the surface this might sound silly but after looking at the chocolate it's straight up false advertisement. They know people will buy it specifically because of the way it looks. It's bait and switch.

It's the reason we are all here...

I'm one of the people that canceled when they announced they were going to be putting ads in prime. I'm doing just fine without it.

I see this as a win. It's absurd that anyone can own the term Taco Tuesday. It's literally a noun and a day of the week

Let's not forget that Guinness World Records is known for giving out records without fact checking.

There are even companies slapping AI labels onto old tech with timers to trick people into buying it.

If you stop using Instagram, then you won't have to worry about it.

Nobody is buying so let's increase the price. Makes a lot of sense. Good job guys.

Spez started it all for me.

It's always confused me how someone that believes in a religion can be a scientist. They directly contradict each other. It just makes it sound like people are in denial.

I replaced Plex with Jellyfin a few months ago and it's been working great for my needs.

I canceled my prime subscription when it was announced they would be putting ads on prime video. I don't even use prime video but I cancelled out of principle.

All corporate landlords need to be dissolved. It shouldn't exist. People should not be able to make profit off of housing ever.

All body cam footage needs to be monitored by a third party. Police departments shouldn't have the option of withholding body cam footage. It should be a made available public and made available immediately after the incident.

There it is. She got greedy. If she would have just minded her own business and not told anyone and kept it on the down low it would have probably never been figured out. Regardless, this is 100%. The business is responsibility and should not be blamed on anyone else.

I was the guy that used audacity to make ringtones and then share them with as many people as possible. This was of course once phones could play actual music as ringtones.

Fun fact Taylor was 11 years old when this picture was taken.

They wouldn't have to feed the homeless if the city did a better job at helping them.

I work at a movie theater and while we don't use Sony projectors, we were told to check all of our certificates to prevent this from happening. This sounds like a communication issue to me. Someone didn't do their job in time. Also in the article it says they wouldn't know if the film would work until it actually played. If that is either an outright lie or the equipment is designed horribly. On the projectors we use which are going on a decade old, the playlist won't even start if it can't verify that all of the content is playable and unlocked. We can see when our certificates expire as well so if all of these certificates expired at the beginning of the year. The theater should have already caught that and had the certificates reissued. Keeping in mind that this wasn't some sort of bug or glitch that nobody could have predicted, then disregard everything I said. DRM on movie theater. Projectors is an industry standard and all companies use it, not just Sony. Until the actual reason comes out, it's hard to say. If it's the certificates of the projectors themselves and not the movie keys which are two different things then yeah I could see how nobody knew what was going on. Especially if the projectors are discontinued. I do know that if our servers lose power and the CMOS battery goes dead, they will internally destroy themselves and never function again. This is to prevent piracy I assume.

My journey to Linux pretty much started with the reddit thing. I moved to Lemmy and started slowly eliminating corporations out of my life.

I just stopped going to places or using services that expect me to tip. I hate the idea of tipping.

The ad aside, I just don't understand the appeal of paying $3,000 for a handbag when a $20 handbag will can do just the same thing. The only thing I can think of is people think they look cool or rich or better if they have a Prada handbag, but frankly, who gives a shit what kind of bag someone has? And second of all, if I saw you with one I wouldn't think you are cool at all. I would think you're the dumbest person alive.

If you're wanting to be safe I wouldn't be using WhatsApp at all

I decided I would help Disney out with their password sharing problem by canceling my Disney Plus account a few months ago. No, they never have to worry about it again.

I do not consent to ads.

My sister sent this to me because she's on AT&T and I was like holy shit this is even worse than not saying anything at all. All this says is " We fucked up and we're not going to do anything about it"

I know people that swear by it which I can kind of understand if you have pain and they "pop" something and you feel better. But is it really helping if you have to keep going back?

Just a friendly reminder to not buy games on release and wait till other idiots buy games first before spending your hard-earned money

I worked at a phone repair shop for almost a decade and fixed hundreds if not thousands of phones. It was rare to see this but when I did it was a Samsung and it had been dropped. The glass would be fine but the OLED would be wrecked. I also had many people lie about what happened to their phone when it was obviously dropped.

Perhaps we don't call it a punishment. We can call it rehabilitation.

I'm getting tired of implementing technology before it's finished and all the bugs are worked out. Driverless cars are still not ready for prime time yet. The same thing is happening currently with AI or companies are utilizing it without having any idea what it can do.

I lost my respect for the raspberry pi foundation when they prioritize businesses over everybody else when there was a shortage.

Mom, just can't wait to thank you later for the great time your parents had with their friends

First the AAAA pirate game gets a price cut, then this.

Oh so I'm not the only one. The users on Hexbear are always angry for some reason.

I don't think the people that they are marketing to (people who buy Apple products) care. They will buy it just because it's Apple.

Fuck it, I'll vote for her if not for the mere fact that I would get a lot of entertainment seeing people complain how our president is a black woman.

You're being filmed everywhere you go and you probably don't even know it.

It seems like I'm constantly finding bugs in businesses' apps. Do they not have people test them?

Assuming the bootloader is unlockable
