Gotta be honest. Yes blame us. It takes two to tango.

At one point in my life there was this anti consumer movement culturally that got absolutely destroyed and buried. Maybe we're all just sheep without any free will controlled by Steve jobs of the world. But I feel like we refused to keep certain fires lit and now we're all freezing. That's our fault.

Most of it was super obvious too. When ads started invading, some people were pissed. But there was always way more people saying 'who cares'. But things like ads fuel this consumerism to get people buying and idolizing the tech channels or kardashian lifestyle with all the bling and flash of new. Now we have a generation who probably think anti consumption lifestyle is just flat out crazy talk. Like how do we not have any counter culture anymore to the lavish consumerism culture. Almost every culture has an opposition but that one seems like it's non existant in a world consumed by ads products

Workers should unionize. I don't know if its better but I know it's something they hate

Holy shit, ruining your country speed run.

Public education is the great equalizer which is why the people in power and the wealthy love these programs. Education should be uniform or else you erode any meritocracy imagined or real.

How autistic would this person be

I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection

Amen

Seriously bugs me to think how there's an aging generation that didn't grow up with all this commercialized internet and they built it on principals like open source and to eliminate things like data scarcity. But now there's a generation that knows nothing but commercialization and seems to support putting everything behind paywalls and hopes to one day commercialize themselves if they're lucky.

But what is really scary is watching guys like Richard Stallman get sick without any replacement.

I didn't realize until now that unity's CEO was CEO of EA. Making a lot more sense now why unity would make such a bone headed decision

Riccitiello returned to EA to serve as CEO from February 2007 to March 2013,when the board of directors accepted his resignation because of the company's financial performance. Following EA, he worked as an advisor to startup companies and became an early investor in Oculus VR.

I don't understand how people do not get blood red angry at advertising more often. Its the root of a lot of our problems with censorship and they flat out just exploit what little free time we all get.

By the time I get home I got 3 hours to chill. Then these ads take up 1/3 of that selling me shit I never asked for. They indirectly forced every platform I ever enjoyed to become these homogenous boring vanilla time sinks. That's because they pay one content safe creator and then the rest start to copy them. Now if I want to avoid ads, I have to pay extra fees which fuck it, the content creators circumvent by putting ads directly into the media.

We should all be more hostile to any encroachment of ads into our lives. Its weird that instead I see people embracing it like it isn't a cancer. We've lost the freedoms we had on thr internet to these ads and nobody seems to care.

Wait, what if we're all blind and seeing is just momentarily gaining vision inbetween blinks

She is but I can't help but think she has unstated motives for saying it.

So this kid breaks his arms

Guys they're artists. They deserve to be paid every time you play any game. You wouldn't steal a car

The top five categories of Bad Bot attacks are fake account creation, account takeovers, scraping, account management, and in-product abuse.

Is it just me or is this article trashy. It lists scraping as bad and suggests it's immoral. It also lists account management as bad.

I got a feeling powers that be will attempt to make scrapping illegal under the guise of AI fears. I don't imagine that many companies like scrapers that collate prices of their products into a website that let's people compare prices against other stores. I don't imagine the real bad actors like scrapers that archive internet content into things like the way back machine. It makes it harder to delete that late night drunken rant, the poor PR choice or the political flip flopping or makes it easier to capture real bad activities in the act before they delete their activity after lighting fires everywhere

You're not allowed to discuss piracy. You wouldn't talk about stealing a car would you?

Delete this.

Find vulnerabilities that could grant access to heaven

Websites and services create APIs for programmers to use them. So Spotify has code that let's you build a program that can use its features. But you need a token they give you after you sign up. The token can be revoked and used to monitor how much of their service you're using. That way they can restrict if its too much.

Scraping is raw dogging the web slut you met at the cougar ranch who went home with you because you reminded her of her dog

I'm not sure if I have the strength to clutch these pearls any harder over these articles. I peaked 8 articles ago.

I agree

I try my best not to be an asshole

Maybe people are getting too in the weeds with this because muh culture war

But it is an asshole move to show up to an event meant for one group of people when the original issue is how over represented your group is. I'm a developer. The grind sucks. But I would be an asshole to show up to this.

Reading this story from NY post is crazy how they frame it. Seems like they leave out a ton of stuff and instead focus on the wives Halloween costume and claim they're making fun of the "murder"

The court filing also includes s a photo of Noyola, Carpenter, and Brittni Silva “celebrating the murder” on Halloween 2022 by dressing up as characters from Handmaid’s Tale, a dystopian book and television series set in a near-future totalitarian state where birth control and abortions are illegal.

We let it happen. You either put your foot down at the first instance of this thing or you lose any ability to do it because it eventually gets so big you can't stop it without some whole new technology. But there's always going to be people who say "how else are people going to pay for websites if not advertising" I say not my fucking problem. Just like robbing my free time with bullshit ads wasn't their problem.

Dems need to find more guys like fetterman

Crazy how many wins they get in social media.

Even though I bought it. It's illegal to tinker with some components. And we're all OK enough with it.

I mean how did this get past the "Klaus Schwab is eating your children" crowd meanwhile we can't legally reverse engineer things we bought

Where can he go? Haven't we turned every platform into profit seeking machines. Any places that could have supported this type of media got chocked out long ago.

I hope you are. Fuck that shit.

Tv celebrity who would never pick up a rifle in a conflict calls for other people to die.

Gender reveal parties were conceived as a fun way of telling family and friends whether they were about to welcome a girl or a boy into the world.

Fake news

We're certain that burning this many satellites won't end up being some irreversible environmental issue right

Canada, now you lol

Save offline or bookmark in case it gets deleted.

Also share it when you can in other places so people know what pages to avoid.

Arghh

Kind of fucked up that we claim it does exist when you think about it

Everything is made up.

Just saying there's no rules that prevent us from taking prime day away from amazon and making it this.

All it takes is an army of shit posters who remember what pogs are.

With our combined power we can defeat amazon like Optimus Prime defeated Megatron during the Heavy Metal War.

Saw this question on reddit that I thought was a joke but has haunted me ever since.

Are we donuts?

Tablet man sues Pythagoras for IP infringement

I never trust articles with adjectives like "unprecedented" or "worrying"

Its political season folks, gird your loins

Good news first, the ram is actually where they need to go

In order to be cheaper we would need to flood the market with lawyers. But the number of lawyers is purposely controlled. Image if you regular people had access to lawyers. The chaos. Youd waste all the lawyers time complaining about illegal wage theft and union busting or excessive force. The system works much better when the law protects the people who earned it

I would honestly care less about the fact that

Sure, that's what makes people behave like assholes. "I don't care about X" is why we have a pretty shitty world in many areas.
