“Absent this data, smaller enterprises will lose a critical path to reach and attract new customers, and consumers overall will have less exposure to new products and services that may interest them,” a group of ad trade bodies wrote in a letter first reported by Adweek.
I don’t see the downside. Literally all benefits. Less waste, less consumerism, less spying, less invasion of privacy, less corporations controlling our everyday lives. It’s all wins!
Yeah they clearly just made up that conclusion. At my grocery store you will see the human cashiers just standing there waiting for people to come to their lines while the self checkout lines back up. I stopped reading the article almost immediately because they don’t even justify that comment at all.
I tried the trial for two days before I bought in and completely gave up google. Kagi is absolutely amazing and well worth the money, not just because there’s no ads or selling of your data, but because the search results are miles better than any alternative now. I have over 50k searches in my google history and at one point in my career I would average around a hundred searches a day. I know what I need from a search engine and Kagi absolutely gives it to me.
dang.. I hate fingerprints. I have not modified anything of the sort on the instance, so I'm guessing it's something I have set in CloudFlare that is doing it? I'll look into it.
act is so hard to use and the docs are terrible. Every time I go to use it I give up a few hours later having gotten nowhere. Incredibly frustrating experience.
Collecting hobbies. Idk. I just pick up whatever fancies me at the time. I realize this is not possible for a lot of people, and I’m sad about that, but it’s really the only thing that keeps me going.
There are no ads on lemmy. If you’re getting ads they’re coming directly from the app you’re using. So yeah, it blows their mind that people are dealing with ads on an ad free platform. It blows my mind too.
I spent a lot of time and energy doing that years ago and don't want to do it anymore. Mailing lists suck because you're subscribed to a billion things you don't want to hear about. IRC...honestly...the world has just moved past it.

Their picture is of a Prince Charles (I think that’s what it’s called) so their joke is quite good actually.
