You heard KFC no secrets allowed from them and from you. Open the cookie wall you must be tracked.

What you really want is an air fryer! Dude it’s actually such a good kitchen tool for cooking. It’s slower than microwaving but you get more crisp fries or other food and less burnt fries or other food than with any other method.

Man, what is it with KFC and their “security” staff, I think I’ve read it even has issues when it detects root or something, no one wants to steal your chicken bruh!

tacosanonymous , to lemmyshitpost in Magic

That’s amazing. I’ll take 4.

If you mean the chicken, it’s hardly an ad since I navigated to their site. 😆

Yeah, I don’t think that little dude is gonna survive a night with Demarco 😂.

xantoxis , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you’re already there buying chicken

UFO64 ,

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

hitmyspot ,

They probably aren’t showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.

Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.

Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the “right” thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?

LavaPlanet ,

They’re kinda telling on themselves, ‘no secrets’ what does watching an add have to do with secrets, unless they want you to have no secrets from them, and give you all a your data. Then that sentence makes sense. That sentence has some real twist / projection / gaslighty vibes. Why do corporations feel like my abusive ex.

ExfilBravo ,

Because they are. They need you financially but they hate your guts too.

Exactly!

dangblingus , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi

Captainvaqina ,

KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly

morrowind ,
@morrowind@lemmy.ml avatar

TIL. Damn it

Sendbeer ,

Not anymore though. They spun kfc, taco bell, and pizza hut years ago and they are under the yum brand now. They still have exclusive contracts regarding fountain. Not sure what other connections are left.

CosmicTurtle ,
thedirtyknapkin ,

no it isn’t, it’s owned by yum brands, a Chinese restaurant conglomerate. not better, but not pepsico either.

droans ,

A Chinese conglomerate publicly traded on the NYSE who reports in USD and files with the SEC? A Chinese conglomerate with their headquarters in Kentucky whose majority investors are institutional? A Chinese conglomerate with most shares owned by people or companies in America and whose executives are all American?

slurpeesoforion ,

They could be owned by sewer rats. But that wouldn’t matter 'cause I don’t eat the mother fucker anyway.

Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called simply Yum!), formerly Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., is an American multinational fast food corporation listed on the Fortune 1000. Yum! operates the brands KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger Grill, except in China, where the brands are operated by a separate company, Yum China. Yum! previously also owned Long John Silver’s and A&W Restaurants. The company was created as a spin-off of PepsiCo in 1997.

I went and looked up the Wikipedia page out of curiosity when someone disagreed that they’re a Chinese conglomerate and thought I’d share for anyone else reading the thread.

Short answer: not a Chinese conglomerate.

thedirtyknapkin ,

well shit, i didn’t look that close. i just knew it wasn’t PepsiCo.

Cris_Color ,
@Cris_Color@lemmy.world avatar

Glad I could provide additional context :)

Hope you have a good one!

droans ,

Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.

GhostFence ,

You order online for delivery to avoid COVID only to catch a computer virus from an ad. I used to watch my relatives browse to a news page and IMMEDIATELY get hit with a “MICROSOFT ERROR CALL xxx-xxx-xxxx TO FIX IT”. Then I put ublock origin on their PC aaaaaaand good game ads!

yokonzo , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

If there’s no secrets then there shouldn’t be any problem with ad blocking

Cethin ,

I interpret this as a pretty clear “you aren’t allowed to have secrets” message. The only secrets allowed are theirs, not yours. They’re going to track everything you do.

I’ve never used Rust, but this definitely reminds me of my days running Slackware on my computers.

Oh, hey, I’d like to run this new package. Great. I’ll need this dependency…and that one…and the one over there…

I know it now has dependency management, but I just couldn’t do it any more. I was tired of worrying about what was going to break. I started with Slackware in the 3.x days, too.

I switched my server to Debian, and I feel like I never have to worry about it any more. Laptop and desktop are both Kubuntu, but they’re going to go to Debian at some point in the near future.

tygerprints , to lemmyshitpost in Awwwww

Oh my gosh, wrong ex!!!! There's gotta be something about this guy, how many ex's does he have? I mean if he was such a great catch why do they keep breaking up with him anyway?

meliodas_100 , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

Why are you using edge bro use firefox or librefox.

dangblingus ,

They’re using firefox…

Blisterexe ,

What? They’re using firefox

superfes , to mildlyinfuriating in Can't even buy chicken in peace

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more…

Maeve ,

And act like they’re doing youthe favor, to allow you to politely hand them your hard-earned peasant pennies.

frezik ,

They don’t want some of the money. They want all of the money.
