  Or, for another perspective: In terms of population, Ohio and Belgium are pretty much equal, but the former has 4x the area.

  Can there really be an objective measurement? You should think first thing data harvesters would implement is a sort of cloak, to erase any traces of what’s going on. Think Dieselgate, but more sophisticated. E.g. phone detects it’s being tested, or is in the hands of a state attorney or whatever, the recording/ forwarding/ prcoessing of data stops.

  Same here. Confidential discussion with lawyer/ doctor/ pharmacist, get relevant ads at once. Therefore, I made it a habit to completely turn off my phone before entering such situations, and, if I can, put it in a switched-off microwave, Snowden-style.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “likes by dead people” story broke in 2012. Ever since, I’ve been assuming that most likes for the stuff I’ve been posting, especially from friends I’ve not talked to in many years, are inorganic and inauthentic. Still I post sometimes because I know a few people actually do care about what I’m up to and we don’t meet very often at all. Of course, I strip all EXIF data from my photos first.

  Amazon: fake products AND fake reviews

  Take an aspirin, they hate the taste.
  50 mg every day keeps them at bay
  Obviously, medical supervision is advised if you intend to do this for a long time, say, more than 2 weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same as it ever was⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which, over ages and ages, has been optimized to take the convenient shape of a sock.

  DAE remember that movie White Noise? The climax was fucking horrifying and I admit that it haunted me for quite a while.
  For better or worse, kids today probably won’t get it.

  We get them a lot around here. They don’t make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit says it is not covered by new Online Safety Code as it has moved its jurisdiction to the Netherlands⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I gotta disagree with you here. At least on the sub(s) that I still - on the occasion of big events - take a glance at. To me, Reddit comments are the epitome of staleness and predictability. Also, their user base seems like a bunch of 40-year-old dads that mentally peaked at 16, but keep getting more racist by the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Precisely this. From a philosophical-logical POV, it doesn’t make sense. From the POV of establishing and maintaining power/ dominance/ oppression/ hegemony, however, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

  They go bad, though? At least my nice white aspirin pills start crumbling and visibly yellowing after a few months. There’s no way me or even an entire family could swallow 500 until then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Lemmy better than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? Way too often, I see some really interesting comments sitting at 0 or -1, and some still somewhat interesting and/ or arguably good-faith comments have something like -50 because they go against the current direction of the herd. I usually upvote at least the former, but for the latter, it’s not going to matter much, unfortunately.
  Furthermore, some mods get way too personally invested and take an obvious disliking to you so everything you contribute will be pushed to the bottom of the stack anyways.
