Blue Footed Booby posted:Basically they don't have to comply with their own privacy policy as far as who they share collected data with. Yet they can still collect substantial data through cookies and fingerprinting, more than enough for a company to uniquely identify you. And then sell that data. It's potentially more of a privacy risk to not have a Facebook than to have one and not use it. With modern password managers there isn't much a reason not to just flush everything automatically when you close your browser. Facebook probably has thousands of barely populated shadow profiles on me from like 100 IP addresses and 50 user agents. Good work zucc, make sure you store that poo poo for the long haul. Whenever I say this someone posts a link to a browser fingerprinting site. It's concerning but when you look at the things they're tracking try to imagine actually keeping track of an using that data. I'm always 100% unique which isn't very useful and means I'm not actually fingerprinted in any meaningful way.

Busy Bee posted:What's the best way to block physical access to reddit and other websites on my phone? I added reddit to my block list on my router but wondering if there's a recommended way to have something like this on my phone. Spectrum blocked access to some ROM site the other day and I had to disable a security shield. Looks like you could also add sites to it if you wanted.

It's nice cause it even fills in passwords on a lot of IOS apps

Strongly recommend 1password, worth the $2/month fee, and I've been using it for years. Excellent browser integration, local encryption, storage, cloud syncing across devices. Avoid the hell out of lastpass.

I agree billionaires shouldn't pay taxes, they should have their wealth and holdings forcibly redistributed and given lifetime community service sentences. Might as well set them up a cot in the back of a Goodwill and offer 24/7 dropoff.

Do Reddit comments do the same thing I see in Facebook reels where anything technical (particularly construction or car related, TRIPLY so if the person in the video are  ) you have a bunch of lay experts pedantically correcting every detail involved in the process?Yesterday I saw a video of a young woman talking about how to torque the bolts or whatever on two pieces of the tail rotor drive shaft and dozens of boomers in the replies were 'correcting' this woman who very obviously worked for Bell and was explaining how to make sure not to accidentally let their flying deathmobile rip itself apart (given that all helicopters by their nature lust for the sweet release of self- annihilation). I see a similar phenomenon in Quora where the whole fuckin peanut gallery has to chime in with their own $0.02 and it makes me wonder how the hell these goobers got anything done in their field of expertise given they couldn't even bear the idea of anyone else being ever so slightly more technically correct than them.

Same as this for me. I like that it's not gonna get updated or get lost in my browser or some poo poo, just keep it in a dropbox and it'll work forever. Except dropbox only lets you sync to 3 devices now, so I have it in google drive which doesn't work quite as well.

the internet in general has man explaining problems. like look at musk simps telling women with phDs in physics , maths, or soem sort of space topic that they dont know how space works when Musk and his simps literally thing marvel movies and an adult swim cartoon are how science "works" hell there's some great counter ice burns of "you just cited the text book I wrote, im the solo author of the book/paper you skimmed"

You’re just describing mansplaining. It’s not a new thing just because it’s through the internet. By the way, my sister is a professional carpenter while also being a blonde in her twenties. Every single day at work, every trip to a hardware store, is gross dudes condescending her. It sounds like a loving nightmare, but she’s a really good carpenter. That’s why I work really hard to bore women by telling them new information instead. Clearly I’m the hero of this story.

If the community downvotes that kind of bullshit it'd keep it in check, but typically they'll upvote it because they all have the same kinds of brainworms.

just watched a video on Reddit of a couple sanitation workers leaving bins of trash on the curb because they were too heavy, and the woman who put them out asks if she can dump them in the truck. she struggles hard to do it, because they're clearly too fuckin heavy. all the top comments are nerds wanking about how the sanitation workers should be ashamed and they're totally lazy cucks who didn't want to do their job and what is this world coming to etc etc. they see something, have an emotional response, then roll with it without thinking for more than five seconds. one or two people were in there trying to explain that lifting something heavy once is not the same as doing it all day, and that is why we have rules about how heavy bins can be, but to no avail. always nice to have Reddit there as a window into the minds of absolute morons and yes, the sanitation workers were black

On r/4ktvs and r/hometheatre I gave my situation, budget, and a couple of TVs I was deciding between. Thread was immdiately downvoted with a reply saying that some TV that was literally £500 above those I mentioned was "the bare minimum" I should consider. I was once shopping for a coffee machine and encountered the same thing: midrange model suitable for household use? Knockoff of expensive model? Cheapass machine that will at least work for a year or two? "Urgh, no, only if you want to poison yourself or have it burst into flames and kill your family. The bare base minimum is this $2000 Gaggia that you have to specially order from the manufacturer that needs daily maintenance ..."

Thing thing about ads is that I don't need help blowing my money on dumb stuff, and I can't remember ever buying dumb poo poo with a plan based on what an ad tells me, it's always stupid impulse stuff when it's right there in person, like a chocolate bar. Really if ads need to reach me properly they'd need to float around me and point out poo poo all the time in the moment, and thanks to augmented and virtual reality efforts this could see be a reality!

There are also types of people who become really offended when people do things differently than them, they interpret it as being told that they made bad choices and are wrong or some weird psychological stuff.

I love this because it was on an actual patent application and the artist included dystopian themes not actually part of the awful patent. The movie has some guy killing another guy. Right before the bullet smashes into his face…. This murder was brought to you by MCDONALDS! Let’s hear it for MCDONALDS! Then the viewer is rewarded with the gooey half of the murder.
