An extreme (and hilarious) example of the power of hypertargeting was featured in AdWeek last year, when a marketing pro targeted his roommate with ads so specific the poor guy thought he was being cyberstalked.
Yeah, it’s hilarious, not at all depressing. I’m laughing all the way to a fascist dictatorship.
So this one guy maintains a mobile OS and a browser and an openwrt fork? That seems like too much work for one person and too few people to have issues with lack of donations if he actually does pull it off.
Two browsers, Mull (Firefox Android) Mulch (Chromium Android), and their own System Webview, and a bunch of their own apps, and comparison tables for releases etc. They are incredibly hard working and usually release updates same day as a security patch is released.
Repeating yourself there buddy? Should probably get your head checked. Maybe if you stopped licking cop boot that would give you time to take some meds.
Haha… If elections had any impact, it’s long time ago we would have seen any changes… ! Every year the same parade, with the illusion of choice between a turd or a piece of shit… Either way, they both come out of the same a Hole and reeks the same…
Money = power ! Vote with your wallet instead… Stop buying unecessary things, just shut down your TV, radio, mobile… and open your mind to the REAL outside world, reconnect with your intuition, stop filling your body with deadly poison and stop being a brainless sheep (not saying you’re, it’s a figure of speech).
You can do both. You always get the same shitty options to vote for because most people don’t vote, and even fewer of them vote in primaries or participate in the political process in other ways.
The reason you only get to vote for the “lesser of two evils” is because you don’t participate in primaries (assuming you are talking about the US system here). If MAGA can get a psycho like Trump to be their party nominee, you can get your kind of psycho nominated as well.
Primaries are where you actually get a chance to express what kind of candidate you want. Hell, you can even run for office! Generals are where you hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils because otherwise it’s an automatic vote for the worst of the two evils.
I agree voting seems pointless sometimes. But it’s still important. But it’s a lever of power you have access to and nobody can take it away from you no. And you can spend the 364 other days of the year impacting politics in other ways.

Just popping in to remind you they destroyed the Iowa caucus to stop Bernie.
There was some shady stuff on behalf of the DNC but he legitimately lost. He didn’t get the votes. Because his voters didn’t vote in the primaries. A number of reforms have been made to the primary system since then, a bunch of the people who oversaw that primary got fired, and many states are now moving towards ranked choice voting which will eliminate the need for primaries entirely. If half the people who complain about how voting is useless actually participated in the primary process, our political landscape would look a lot different. I used to be one of those people, I get it, the whole damned thing is a bit of a racket, but it doesn’t change that voting takes 5 minutes and has a concrete impact on who runs the government.
Edit: And that’s the presidential race. You can make much more of a difference, and the rules are much less wonky, in local and state elections. Hell, many of those positions are entirely uncontested.
He “legitimately” lost after they handed Iowa to a nobody loser like Pete to render Iowa irrelevant in the future. You don’t really think Pete won, do you? Sure, they gave the appearance of “cleaning up” after Iowa, but that was always the plan! Now Iowa is done as a relevant caucus state.
I voted in Iowa. Getting my caucus vote made irrelevant showed me the Democratic Party is not a viable vehicle. They’ll literally throw out your votes if they don’t like it.
That worked out well for Florida that one time. But you’re missing what gets people nominated to the general primaries, boat loads of money. If you don’t have that, good luck getting anyone you want to win to run. Thoughts and prayers and wishing don’t fund a campaign, but money does.
All of these bills they pass about spying on you (“PATRIOT” act, PRISM, etc) all have pretty astounding bipartisan support. I mean they can’t agree on anything except when it comes to spying on us or wiping out whole societies of people that don’t look like we want them to look. They all fucking incredibly come together and agree on that. Every time.
OMG, I don’t care about which boogyman you fear, it would have happened eventually regardless of color in the position. Money and power speaks much louder than political party.
Yes, but I did not want to take credit for this discovery, especially on a federated site, which is why I have shared the toot of the person who found it
The Onion is not exactly obscure. If you want to credit the Vivaldi user, I think it’s still preferable to link the Onion directly, and add a note saying where you found it. That saves people from some clicking and tracking.
Tracking? I think that the Fediverse isn’t Facebook, no tracking conecting or linking from one to another, tracking from the Onion, but not from Mastodon. Look for yourself who is tracking you themarkup.org/blacklight (nice in your Bookmarks)
That isn’t avoidable if you don’t use an VPN. ProtonVPN (OpenSource) is fine, even the free one (no logs, encrypted military level, no data limits in the free version, made by cientifics of the CERN)
