Blackmist,

So is Linus Lenin or Stalin?

Blackmist,

So they can make your phone go bingedybeep and show you more adverts, while slurping up any data the browser doesn’t usually let them access.

Blackmist,

Sound’s like it’s just not sending the data back to Daddy Google. The OK Google/Alexa bit is done on a custom chip on the device. Clearly that bit isn’t being turned off, but anything after that isn’t being sent anywhere.

Probably just saves support calls this way from idiots who turn it off and forget.

Blackmist,

I think stats are all over the place. According to this /c/piracy is top.

But, yeah. When you go to technology on lemmy.world it shows 50k. When I visit it from feddit.uk, I see 294 subscribers.

Is each one showing how many users just your instance has subscribed, or does the lemmy.world one actually have the correct amount?

Blackmist,

Probably just an extra six minutes of Seth Rogan’s annoying laugh.

Blackmist,

It’s strange that automatic doors are standard on the outside of just about every shop, but nobody has ever thought to put them indoors.

Blackmist,

Wasteful. Just use an Amiga IFF file.

Blackmist,

They don’t help Ukraine because white.

They help Ukraine because fuck Russia.

See also Afghanistan (70s and 80s edition, not the remake)

Blackmist,

Really milking that fad before they inevitably push anything useful behind a monthly paywall.

Blackmist,

No because taxation would be adjusted so the average person is no better off.

It’s about raising the lowest earners to a minimum level that they’re able to live on, without making them jump through hoops or prove they are poor or prove they have been looking for work for 40 hours a week or some bullshit.

Blackmist,

And why are there multiple sizes of NVME screw?

Blackmist,

Is that from Viz?

Blackmist,

1st Jan? Smells like an expired certificate somewhere in whatever chain of DRM bullshit they use.

Blackmist,

Wait, what the fuck do Americans think pigs in a blanket is?

Blackmist,

Unless you’re Pythagoras. Motherfucker invented the triangle. Shit like that goes a long way.

Blackmist,

But only one can crush a toddler without you even feeling it.

Buy the new Ford Infanticide 5000. You’re American. You deserve it.

Blackmist,

Bumblebee is the only good Transformers movie.

You can ignore all the others, but this one is worth it.

Blackmist,

Or just sites that don’t need a consent popup because they don’t sell your shit.

Blackmist,

The password one is also when they’re on the wrong site and now they’ve just typed all their passwords and account names into microsoftoffice365.scammer.ru

Blackmist,

Hey, at least your bugs didn’t result in the prosecution of 700+ sub-postmasters. Silver linings and all that.

Blackmist,

But that’s his best cap!

Blackmist,

Grower gang wins again.

Blackmist,

And they got rid of Terrence Howard because he can’t count.

Blackmist,

It’s annoying that you can either choose between having a weedy shit burger that’s mostly lettuce and has to be held together with a stick, or eating a really expensive one and have to look at a load of wanker tat on the walls.

Also, you can stick your brioche buns up your arse. A brioche bun is not a load bearing bun. It dissolves in contact with moisture.

Blackmist,

All of that is on streaming, and worse.

A lot of TV has always just been a way to fill the gaps between the adverts as cheaply as possible. Moving from 4 channels to 200 didn’t increase the amount of stuff you could watch, it just spread it all over the place.

It ate itself, streaming is going the same way. Maybe they’ll eventually catch on and have a service that contains every movie and TV show (once they’ve finished in the theatre, and past the Blu-ray/Pay-per-view part of their lifespan where people will pay for it individually), for like £30 a month, and it can be like Spotify and the other music services. A Kaleidescape for poor people. Until then I’ve gone back to mostly yarring it for any new stuff, and using a Jellyfin server.

Nobody wants a dozen services to look through, even if they did have more money than sense.
