Son, your mother and I discussed this lengthy and we have come to the conclusion...

What your father is trying to say, is that we expected you to serve dinner five minutes ago and, despite our endless love for you son, our patience is running short.

We can do it, we can create our own Internet, I mean Lemmy, without pitchforks and torches! At least until Lemmy gets relevant. Well, as "relevant" as reddit used to be.

Basically I see two options:

1. This works for advertisers and based on your "profile" you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.
2. This doesn't work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.

Also I don't my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.

There are radio stations, financed through ads. And they check if people are listening by calling random persons to ask them what station they are listening to.

So this is a viable business model and nobody is stopping anybody from putting plain pictures and links on sites and just estimate the page visits, but online advertisers want to know more. They always want more.

At the same time, a browser is the essential software to browse the web. So this is as if your TV was like:

Yo, many people mute their TV during commercials and don't pay attention, which kills the poor networks. So I made a deal with advertisers and will check what your doing, while I provide unmutable ads , but don't worry, your privacy is very important to us and we only care about providing to you the best TV experience possible.

Thank you for being genuinely interested in the opinion of others and for explaining culture differences.

I... I think the mind trick is working on me. Which would imply that this actually is what I was looking for...

Which means not I, but Obi Wan was the degenerate pervert the whole time!

And as an unstoppable force of nature and chaos... you order some stuff online and get food delivered.

Behold! Our mundane god of meaningless is looking for ways to fill the void inside!

Yo bro why you frontin
Chill

But don't worry those are one way mirrors

This post can't be serious! It should be marked with 1/s

Whenever I tested it, my banking app worked on non-rooted e/os. A rooted device however is not accepted by my banking app.

Maybe movies about school shootings will be this generation's Vietnam films

An API that unlocks DLC? That sounds like... wait what community is this? (looks around)
Is that a wooden IP address? Nice eye patch by the way. Cheers matey!

This should be better with /e/OS or lineageOS, but you have to jump through several hoops (and often lose your warranty) when you install them instead of your default Android OS.

Unfortunately most devices block them completely, but the Pixel phones are supported (as far as I know).

Then I'm glad I was here when history was made. This is solid meme gold. 👌

Since we are discussing this on social media, another news outlet could make a "story" about the discussion or should I say your popcorn enriched outrage.

I would also be available for a game about the movie about the game about the book about that story.

Good luck training your red back spider to fight paralysis ticks

I'm sure Tesla can do it within the decade! /s

I was wondering, are people working on networks that train to create a modular model of the world, in order to understand it / predict events in the world?

I imagine that that is basically what our brains do.
