Drink verification can now.
Instant classic that one.
If this shit ever becomes reality I’m commiting corporate terrorism in Noita
Make Johny Silverhand proud
Silverhand was a goddamn hero
At the point ad-blockers are regarded as terrorism and gay sex is a capital crime, there’s no reason not to play with explosives or enrich uranium.
In for a penny, in for a kilo of cobalt.
great now my top post on lemmy so far is about piss
Could’ve done even better if you had made your post about not pissing for three days.
i feel like this is oddly specific
Have you forgotten the classic “no poop for 3 days” post? It pretty much took over Lemmy for like a week.
i am… thankful i missed that discourse o.O
Could be worse princess
It only goes downhill from here
Well, maybe the people on lemmy just like piss that much.
Btw., my 2nd most popular comment is me promoting death wishes.
Terms of service were meant to be broken, they are a once-sided agreement that the other party never needs to uphold, there are no consequences for them if they don’t. So I say the moment they try to screw you over give them a good punch in the face, there are some nasty ways to do that to online entities, some illegal, others just petty, some in grey areas (in real free countries none of them are illegal, because corporations aren’t protected in places like that).
Please show me the ways
once-sided
Literally black mirror lol
I think it’s Sony that has a patent on a TV that uses a camera and microphone so they can play ads that only stop when you stand up, raise your arms and shout “McDonalds!”, for example. Not in Black Mirror, in real life.
They do, but we have to remember that big companies like that file patents all the time for concepts they never actually use. Apple is famous for it.
It’s true, it’s even possible they’re sitting on it so nobody else can do it. But at the same time I feel like if they felt they could get away with it they’d do it. It’s closer to reality than we’d like to think.
for concepts they never actually use.
… yet.
I mean you could say that about any of these patents too: https://gizmodo.com/apple-patents-iphone-mac-watch-windowless-car-vr-socks-1848951448
But the chances that any of them will be implemented are very slim.
I’m not familiar with black mirror. Is this literally in the literal sense of the word by definition or literally in the oxymoronic figurative sense?
As in that’s somewhat happening in an episode of the series where ads are being forced onto the main character, and it paused when the MC close his eye because he didn’t want to watch it.
Literally literal
1984 as well, at least in some aspects
Watching the ad instead of clicking constitutes a violation of the terms of service
Watching the terms of service instead of clicking constitutes a violation of the ad.
This is why I don’t give applications access to my webcam or microphone unless it’s an application designed for video calls (ex. Zoom).
Oh my God that’s horrifying
Foot the bill directly
Too real. Facebook is currently attempting this “feature” in the EU
For some of us with smaller bladders it can be a problem. Installing the https://runpee.com/ app has been a game changer going to the movies. Tells you the best times to go pee and not miss anything.
Last time I tried to download that they wanted me to purchase a subscription service
I’d PaaS on that offer, smells suspicious.
I just love the pause button, but then while I enjoyed collective effervescence as a young boy watching Star Wars I get spooked by culty-acting crowds as an old man.
This old blog bit of mine might be relevant. TLDR: The owner / executive class is always on the market for stupid cruel ways to enhance revenues, increase productivity or just seize more control of workers and customers, even when these schemes have the opposite effect. And when they are implemented, we’ll find ways to hack, circumvent or exploit the new paradigm.
nice edit.
but i can’t call “the onion” a satire/humor these days anymore.
Me: Nuh uh man! Not me! I’m never gonna use youtube ever again!
