Just seen the glass on the right I would’ve guessed Thai iced tea.
Would like to try!

Instead of a flat five years across the board, length of time could be variable based on assets and political connectedness

A small smirk with eyes averted is much more appropriate.

Is this an actual edge case?:

Desktop mode plus zoom out on iOS, sometimes… then over to a desktop browser app when that falls. Sigh

- Comment on Paralyzed Man Unable to Walk After Maker of His Powered Exoskeleton Tells Him It's Now Obsolete 1 week ago:
Fortunately, Lifeward eventually capitulated and Straight was able to get his exoskeleton repaired — but that was only after an intense campaign in which he went on local TV, got highlighted in a horse industry publication, and gained steam on social media. If it weren’t for that, he could still be struggling to find a way to get his mobility back again.
Uhg, needed bad PR before they changed their mind

- Comment on Apple quietly deletes nearly a hundred VPNs that allowed Russians to get around censorship 1 week ago:
I do wish it were possible to make iOS more free. With that said, is it a fair comparison to draw when someone only knows how to use a VPN if it’s in the App Store, whether Apple’s or Google Play?
So novices on either platform are harmed by lessened app availability even while both could be instructed to set a VPN up in settings or sideload an app.
Now if it’s a TOR browser or something, that’s a big L for Apple.

And in your estimation they probably did click the game and click their profile and they came to Lemmy to try to make a Nintendo look worse?

Never attribute to malice what can better be attributed to only using it for a couple months and not looking into family sharing yet

Level set: ads suck
Least they can do is to serve adfree videos
Now, corporations are greedy right?
Genuine question: What does Greedy Google do if we all install adblock on all our neighbors’ computers tonight?
- Comment on Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops 2 weeks ago:
I imagine something like “I do not consent to a search nor seizure of any of my property. May I reach into my pocket so I may place my phone in plain view? If my property is going to be seized even against my will, I still want to ensure everyone’s safety.”
Then repeat the no consent line as you place your phone on your dashboard or whatever.
I imagine this means your lawyer will have body cam footage of the double nonconsent and the judge will see you were willing to comply even with potentially unlawful orders so he could sort it out in court instead of someone trying to fight it out on the street.

Oh, the year is 2100 and YouTube only plays on dedicated Alphabet-produced hardware (available “free” of course) with cam-proof screens? Storytelling will come back in style with a vengeance overnight!
…and then, with the passion of a man whose next meal depends on it, he pleads:
”like and subscribe.”
OK kids good night!

You can fool some of the people some of the time… right? :)
I’d expect nothing less than executives at a number of the Fortune 50 to be ruthlessly cutthroat, including when it comes to vetting the claims of their marketing teams.
(I know I’m speaking about studies I only assume to exist by the way, will have to research it later)

Just kidding, we can be sure it’s incredibly well studied given the billions and billions of dollars going into ads!
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 2 weeks ago:
Interesting thing here:
YouTube’s top 3% of channels now attract 90% of total views, up from 67% in 2006. Even among those elite channels, average annual ad revenue is only $16,800 - less than a third of U.S. median household income. For the remaining 97% of YouTubers, reaching even that modest income level is nearly impossible given the platform’s increasingly skewed viewership distribution.
