If one were truly ascended, one would write 七.
I'm saving this one, hell yeah, I love it. That chud was absolutely obsessed with Joe Rogan, acting like that guy was the new messiah, all while he went on and on about "the corrupting influence of media from America". It drove me up the wall…
Some chud I used to see regularly: "Blackrock is funding WOKE in the movies in order to change pubic opinion!!!"
Meanwhile, actual conservative billionaires:
Honestly, if Twitter suddenly cracking down on T&A ends up causing another X-odus to the fediverse, then it is mildly amusing that the "masto" in "Mastodon" is literally from the Ancient Greek word for "boobs".
That's an insult to dollar stores
"See, the problem is that you see everything as black and white."
"SOMETIMES THAT'S HOW THINGS ARE!"
Thank you for your contributions.
That is how it works, yeah. Very good point. Nobody needs to be actively malicious or conspiratorial, and it's silly to imagine people being that conniving: The most profitable matching algorithm on a dating app just happens to be ineffective for most people, and whoever happens to stumble on that algorithm first ends up making the most profitable dating app – no need to know why it works, just that it does.
People find love through dating apps
That is part of the business model, actually: if these apps absolutely never work, then there will be no word of mouth, no success stories to use in promotional material, and users would pretty quickly figure out that it isn't entirely their own fault that they haven't made the progress that they're expecting.
Also, like, language learning apps suffer from the same problem as dating apps: if these apps could actually teach you a language, you'd eventually get proficient enough at the language to no longer need the app — and if you no longer need the app, then it can't harvest your data or subscription money anymore, and line goes down. So the app always needs to give you the impression that you're making progress, while actually sabotaging your learning at every step.
This isn't to say that these apps don't have a place in the language learning process, but rather I'm saying that you need to be incredibly wary not just of the privacy issues, but of how to actually use these apps effectively. If you're aware of their tricks, then they become less effective.
got sold to Microsoft while Newell still lives.
Surely you mean while he's "Still Alive", right?
I hope basically everyone goes on strike. The workers don’t even need to have any grievances, I just think it would be cool.
“Oh, no, I just got this flag from my cousin, Chucky Arlaw.”
Don’t forget Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008), that one’s a classic
I put a Kbin and Lemmy community in the sidebar of /r/vexillology shortly after the beginning of the API protest.
Here’s a six-minute YouTube video explaining how to use it
TL;DW: Click on the extension icon, use the drop-down lists to find a browser and OS, select a pre-configured user-agent string from the list, and click “apply (container)” or “apply (all windows)”. Having your user-agent string change randomly with each request is possible but requires writing a bit of JSON in the options.
From what I remember, that image was hosted on hexbear.net, so I don’t think so.
I would say a user agent spoofer would be more useful for this particular image. The Mozilla team recommends User-Agent Switcher and Manager for Firefox users.
