Retard Units don’t count.

If it's written backwards, it means the opposite. So this is quite halal.

Klear ,

Or at least lalah.

Chadus_Maximus , in Well, well... What do we have here?

O donkey of the hole, what is your wisdom?

It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.

You like it?

I am pro-data-collection, yes.

Send me your name and home address now, nothing to hide nothing to fear.

SCB ,

I mean I would because I’m definitely not afraid of anyone posting on Lemmy lol, but that’s rather beside the point since this isn’t how data collection works

kevinbacon ,
@kevinbacon@lemmy.world avatar

None of that shit looks like a name or address so I’m not reading it.

SCB ,

Yes why be right when you can pretend you’re hard?

I’m not the one puffing his chest out, so by all means go say this to that other dude

I literally started this comment chain with a Taylor Swift reference lol

    SCB ,

    I support the improvements in advertising, UX, and design innovation that data collection yields, and I reject utterly that it is an “invasion of privacy” with the same enthusiasm as I reject “keeping your money in banks is for suckers” and “the government tracks you through your phone”

    Fears of data collection are conspiracy-driven and not grounded in reality. No one is upset about Nielsen “harvesting” TV data, as an obvious example.

    btonz ,

    Nielsen never actually knew what you were watching though. They had to take your word for it. The comparison would be if Nielsen had trackers on your eyes and cameras and microphones in your house. I do agree most concerns about data collection are overblown, but that doesn’t mean opening yourself up to any and all data collection is wise. And to act like there’s never an issue of companies taking your data for ill is laughably naïve IMO. If nothing else, unnecessarily sharing personal data exposes you as a larger target for things like identify theft.

    SCB ,

    I’m not really concerned with identity theft either, having worked in the credit/finance sector.

    EatMyDick ,

    I’m a security professional too and you’re just yelling against an idealogy. These people want to be angry at big tech, they don’t understand the privacy concerns at all. Most of them still talk about Alexa spying on you.

    Minipulation sucks

    UX, and design innovation that data collection yields

    Companies can make a better product or use it to better make dark patterns

    and I reject utterly that it is an “invasion of privacy”

    • “Jane doe and 5 others clicked the button scedule marrage counciling she moved her mouse in a tistinct way, unique to her, she also today went to e21”

    Vs

    • "6 people clicked the button scedule marrage counciling from the home page compared to 0 on the scedule marrage counciling page"

    with the same enthusiasm as I reject “keeping your money in banks is for suckers”

    Dont call your critics crazy,threat modeling keeps you sane

    and “the government tracks you through your phone”

    Are you a direct target? If not, automated tracking can be defeated by automated tools.

    Dragnet surveillance witch gets better every year with AI. But can be defeated

    If you are an active threat to the us like MLK (wikipedia, NPR)

    Malware brokers and Espionage are employed

    Edit: complete rewrite

    SCB ,

    I’m quite aware. I just told you I worked in the credit processor sector.

    So your saying its not black and white. I dont disagree, some data collection is harmless.

    Seems like a whole lot of work to trick Muslims into not drinking something they were drinking anyway…

    Pepsi’s ok, though. Right?

    Edit: Forgot the word not

    cloaker ,

    It's convincing Muslims to not drink it.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, I get that. But why?

    Edit: Oh, I see now. I left the word ‘not’ out of my previous post. Apologies.

    snake_case , in Disgraceful

    If you listen to princes of the universe by queen backwards it says “did you really just do that, wow you’re so gullible” and quite frankly this has made it my favourite track to listen to.

    such a low quality jPHeg… tsk tsk

    VonReposti , in Disgraceful

    Water written backwards spells retaw. If you adjust it a little it says retard. Are you gonna take being called a retard by water? Ban water today and stop the insults!

    SomethingBurger ,

    Coca Cola actually called someone a retard once.

    Miqo ,

    Her father, Doug, was equally shocked at the message, considering his younger daughter Fiona has cerebral palsy and autism.

    That’s horrible, but what are the chances of that happening? I’m not saying I don’t believe the story, but those are just wild odds!

    SomethingBurger ,

    Surely a low percentage, but Coca Cola sells a lot of bottles, it had to happen at least once.

    999 ,

    I was late for a flight once (in Canada) and they put a sticker on my luggage that said Retard. Just means late in French. You better believe I kept that sticker.

    I mean it’s in canada, so it’s like things in the US that are printed in both English and Spanish.

    I think you’ll find that is jod!

    gilbert31 , in looking forward to the comments

    English is phonetically inconsistent, you can find examples to support both ways of pronouncing it.

    Stovetop ,

    There are some consistencies in letter patterns, just not in individual letters. For example, no word that starts with go-, ga-, or gu- pronounces the g like a j (except for the archaic gaol, and there’s a reason the spelling was changed to jail). It’s mainly limited to ge- and gi- words.

    Inconsistencies with the other options are probably due either to how the term came into English (English is practically built on loanwords) or some other subsequent pattern of letters I’m too lazy to try to identify.

    lanolinoil ,
    @lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

    The J does what it wants

    penguin ,

    The only real rule is that words come and go and change organically. People don’t just decree that a word needs to change like some king of language.

    Asudox , in My lemon harvest

    I, for a second, thought I saw something disturbing.

    ELI70 , in Who are those people who still let Big Tech piss on their face, thinking it is the lord of the rain?

    Small tech can be much nastier as they have less scrutiny on them. Think of all these companies writing spyware for governments/corporations around the world.

    I say it with a soft G. Fight me.

    trust vs necessary.

    I don’t trust them but they are a necessary evil for some tasks. like messaging apps, what use is Signal or other secure/foss messaging app if the people you need to communicate with uses meta products. so it is necessary for me to use meta products in order to facilitate communication with some group of people.

    Operating system our company only uses windows and provide a laptop with windows as an OS. now why would I go to trouble myself in reformatting this laptop to unstall other OS when it isn’t even mine and would get me into trouble, not to mention break compatibility with my worke ecosystem. so, i use windows.

    so yeah, it applies to others as well
