- Comment on Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women 1 week ago:
To me it looks more like they’re saying they’ll monetize their work no matter what, tho. One way is through direct payments by those who consider their articles worth paying for, then they don’t need to sell userdata or show ads; the other way is selling userdata. Well, there’s also non-targeted advertising, but mb it doesn’t worth as much or something (and targeted ads already pay close to nothing from a single viewer, afaik).
Where I personally draw the line is when such subscriptions still include ads (looking at you, “ad-free” disney+) or have unnecessarily large costs and so on. I mean, if they charge close to what they’re making with ads and selling data, we could get most websites ~tracker-free for probably a couple of bucks a month each. This, in turn, lessens the power of ad network owners, which again makes the web better. Although, mb I’m idealizing too much, idk.

Idk what’s the big deal, honestly. Remember the memes about yt premium, “I either give you my money, or my data, but not both”? Well, it’s kinda like that. The caveat is, their payment provider likely still collects data, and some info is saved on the backend anyways, but that’s another can of worms.

Idk, repairing is often fun and may be faster actually. As in you don’t need to spend time searching for a suitable product and waiting for it to be delivered. Also, most breaks are more or less trivial to fix, so it’s at least worth a try, imo.

Fediverse used to sound kinda lame to me, but that’s probably because I’ve encountered “metaverse” first.

I don’t dislike most of them per se, I just don’t understand most of them. I mean, it’s quite impressive what those people can achieve, but I’d rather watch some dude free-climbing in the grand canion or something of that nature ('cause for me even climbing a 20m pipe was scary asf).
Now that i think of it, football is probably singled out in my mind due to its fans doing some batshit crazy stuff oftentimes. Like dude, chill out, it’s just a bunch of people kicking a ball. Save your molotov for your friendly local politicians.
- Comment on Be honest. Your first thought was would this be an advantage or disadvantage during masturbation 2 weeks ago:
I’m wondering if the fingers move independently or also mirror each other’s movement. Because if they do, those people are one custom keyboard away from pretty comfortable PC usage.
- Comment on Might be fun idk 2 weeks ago:
What’s fun about football, tho? I mean, it’s basically a bunch of dudes hitting a sphere for some weird reason or fighting for the pleasure of carrying an egg (and making more money than the most of us while at it)

Welp, trump supporters are certainly an interesting bunch, yet even they don’t deserve to be emotionally scared like that.

- Comment on Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams 3 months ago:
I mean, “give access” and “double your bitcoin” are somewhat textbook phrases for scams…
Although, I def. see how one can miss it at first. I remember one bank scam call where the thing that ultimately clued me in was a rather unprofessional response along the lines of “don’t call crying back to us” when I’ve said I’m a bit busy to go check the card or whatever they’ve asked to, while what should’ve done this in the 1st place was another textbooky “have u transfered any funds to Joe Shmoe”. Looking back, would’ve been funy AF to pull the Karen on them 🥲
- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 3 months ago:
I don’t really understand the 1st requirement…
allow 3rd-party app stores
So, apparently f-droid/aurora/etc are not allowed or something?
let stores distribute the same stuff gplay does
As in “give 'em a way to pull stuff from gplay and not punish for letting ppl download it”? Mb useful, but the lack of specificity may defend the purpose. Like currently, AFAIK, nobody really prevents ppl from publishing both on gplay and f-droid, for example
The rest lgtm
