That’s how it looks

It does to me, but ymmv. On the other hand there is at least one now because I made one.

How do they hijack your own link?
- Comment on Apple Readies Its Biggest Push Into Health Yet With New AI Doctor. 3 days ago:
Is it a corporation, or will it be blamed on just the mistake of an AI, or something else? I don’t trust society’s track record for holding corporations accountable.

This must be it. Especially since they have my IP address it must be an easy fingerprint

Yeah I’m just not sure how it has cookies since I used tubular…

That hasn’t stopped various humans from saying this on the Internet for a long time
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
I guess it’s in the same category as those automatic ads that say “cop this look” and offer to sell you products that appear in a photo on a website.
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
It’s interesting to me that they scan the video, and then know that I watched it (on tubular) when I’m visiting a completely unrelated website in a different browser, and serve me an ad there.
- Comment on Are the Roman numerals based on what your hand look like when you count? 3 days ago:
Many archaic cultures had words for 1, 2, 3, and many. You can see this tendency reflected in the Roman system where I, II, and III are obvious symbols, but IV introduces a new concept.
Therefore I think 1, 2, and 3 are based on counting on fingers, but 4 is where their system deviates.

It was on screen for a few seconds and not the point of the video.
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
The ad was not on Lemmy, it was an automated ad on a random article I found on Lemmy. The kind where behind the scenes, the ad vendor auctions off the space and your information to the bot that’s the highest bidder
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
I haven’t seen it in the comments yet, except for my comment that I had seen an ad for it.
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
I doubt this because it is not a product people would buy in any volume, and was just used to illustrate a random point. Also the video has been out less than 24 hours. I don’t think it’s likely in this case.
- Comment on Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them? 3 days ago:
No, but there was text on screen in the video saying what it was, and that it wasn’t an endorsement.
Here’s the section in question: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOK5xkFijPc&t=2999
He doesn’t speak its name, it’s just visible on screen.

It’s definitely personalized, even though I had turned all of that off, since tubular interacts with YouTube without logging in.

My primary care doctor resigned in Jan 2025 because it was too depressing being on screens all the time…
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 4 days ago:
My phone case is designed to attach a camera lens, and actually came with magsafe, but I didn’t have any magsafe attachments and ended up removing the magnets from the case because they interfered with the compass, despite promising not to.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 4 days ago:
Thank you I didn’t realize the wireless chargers used magsafe.
Is magsafe built into the phone, or just in cases?
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 5 days ago:
Mine didn’t, unfortunately. It just charged very slow and got hot. Hopefully newer ones are like you say.

Their CEO posted in support of the Republicans and then doubled down when people pushed back, until some PR people intervened and tried to get politics back out of proton.
Maybe there is more, that’s what I remember.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 5 days ago:
I thought it you don’t line it up exactly right it charges slowly and heats up a lot, ruining the battery
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 5 days ago:
Does the thickness of the case increase the heat byproduct of wireless charging?

Not personally but microcenter does have that 30 day return period so you could buy something name brand from them and then return it if it doesn’t cut it.

The mediverse is a thing now? Like people log onto it? I thought it was just a failed concept.
- Comment on A “Goofy” DJ’s Secret Life at the Center of an Online Terrorism Network. 1 week ago:
I can relate to this, when I met my lab partner in my first university chemistry class he seemed like a normal likeable bro. Only later did I discover that he was the school’s most notorious racist troll on the school’s social media.
