You can livestream there?

cmrn ,

The majority of the ads I get on Twitter now are deepfaked Elon shilling coins — I don’t know how any advertiser (or user) could have any faith in that platform anymore.

cmrn ,

Attempting to fine homeless people for not having a place to live was already laughably ignorant, but now you’re extending it to everyone and everything? DON’T YOU DARE FUCKING DOZE OFF AT THE BUS STOP OR ELSE.

(edit: I had trouble finding actual information in the articles, so I’m basing this reply solely off the title.)

cmrn ,

Ah perfect, rules that are inherently up to interpretation and selectively enforced.

cmrn ,

I will say, I don’t know what they’ve done but it’s been fucking up my casual circumvention nicely. Now I just get forced into almost 10 minutes of ads every time, and the ad bars shows up underneath videos, the end cards at the wrong time…

cmrn ,

It’s insane how many people already take AI as more capable/accurate than other medium. I’m not against AI, but I’m definitely against how much of a bubble of being worshipped that some people have it in.

cmrn ,

I feel like Apple is much less threatening as a monopoly than a loooot of other companies…?

cmrn ,

Please do. Keep making headlines for self-destruction.

I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

Tack “&udm=14” on to the end of a normal search, and you’ll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

If this is anything like the flag to bring back the old Chrome downloads bar (I miss you), then enjoy it while you can.

cmrn ,

I don’t own anything Nintendo but I thought there would only be like 200 games.

cmrn ,

I’ve found Google alternatives great for things that are… filtered (copyright etc), but honestly no matter what search engine I use, I swear none just give you the results for your query anymore. I’ve still been finding the Bing-based ones horrible quality for relevancy and defaulting to Google.

cmrn ,

The thing that makes me most sad is that the old Twitter is genuinely why I have the career and connections I do today. Now I can’t even stand opening the site.

cmrn ,

They really said “because we can’t get crime under control, you can’t have health measures”

Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns” (www.theverge.com)

Arizona’s Attorney General, Kris Mayes, filed two lawsuits against Amazon on Wednesday for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and maintaining monopoly status. The first lawsuit accuses the company of using dark patterns to keep users from canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions, violating Arizona’s...

I didn’t read a single thing beyond the title but… yeah that checks out

I want no part to do with them after they got all the Google domains—they’re not a company I would have willingly supported before, so I’m not about to now that I’ve been forced into it.

cmrn ,

Next thing you know

cmrn ,

Oh you thought that was for damage prevention? No it’s actually to make sure it gets wet. I heard the Cybertruck’s trunk department QC’d it.

cmrn ,

Currently chomping on my emergency pizza… almost lasted a week in the freezer.

cmrn ,

PlayStation exclusive items or something incoming then. Very cool Sony thanks for retreating.

cmrn ,

I thought this meant on top of Premium and I was about to be pissed.

But honestly, Spotify is one of the only companies where I don’t feel like my experience has gotten noticeably worse over my time using it.

cmrn ,

It’s easier than ever to never play a AAA game. The trend of launching games on broken promises with 14 prompts to spend money before you even reach the main menu is getting old.

cmrn ,

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.

cmrn ,

I for one am quite confident it’s not me.

cmrn ,

I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

cmrn ,

The only absolute with these devices is that you don’t get what you pay for. Inevitably it will completely change without your consent, and generally it will deliberately be for a worse experience since you’re captive.

cmrn ,

I am so sick of the new age of zero ownership or protections. Instead of greedy companies losing customers, other companies just see it like “oh shit we can do that too?” and consumers are the only ones losing.

cmrn ,

That’s the hilarious(ly depressing) thing about buying a digital movie, for example, to me.

If you rent it, you get it for a certain amount of time.

If you ‘buy’ it, you also rent it, just for an undisclosed amount of time that they may or may not retroactively take away from you at any point with no warning or compensation.

cmrn ,

Clicking an image on Twitter and it actually being an external link was the last thing I ever did on that platform.

cmrn ,

My car battery went dead the day before the time change. I was so close.

cmrn ,

My usage dropped for a while, but it’s the only ‘social media’ that doesn’t actively leave me feeling worse about the platform and the world after using it.

cmrn ,

And yet this is 2 posts down from an article about their price hikes and increase in ads coming up.

cmrn ,

Google’s relevance of search has gone extremely downhill in the last few years even before the surge of AI articles, so it’s no surprise the keyword-injected articles are all that’s winning now.

But holy shit does it piss me off how many of these first page results have literally incorrect information now too. Want to learn how to do something in software? See a release date? Find accurate information? Good fucking luck.

cmrn ,

The only videos that show up on my Twitter are literal war crimes, gore, NFSW, NFSL… I’m sure being LiveLeak Jr is doing great things for bringing advertisers back.

cmrn ,

Me personally, a fry

cmrn ,

This post made me realize how completely ignorant to covid I’ve become lately… I had to check the date to see if it was current or years old.

cmrn ,

Hah, just joined that yesterday.

Guess I should get the blood flowing on my accounts on some other instances.

cmrn ,

Those things have been kicking my ass whenever I have a VPN on lately.

I’m out here clicking stairs, motorbikes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and it just keeps giving me “Try Again” …I’m starting to doubt I’m actually human.

cmrn ,

This post just made me not take out the trash. I’m not risking it. Maybe I’ll be stronger tomorrow.

cmrn ,

This is probably a stupid question, but for those of you that use Mastodon — how did you find people to follow?

I tried it out a few months ago but I didn’t like the few accounts they recommended, and searching for users or keywords didn’t get me too far either…

cmrn ,

Thank you, that looks like a great place to start!

cmrn ,

The account I share with family still works, but the second it doesn’t… it’s the pirate life for me

cmrn ,

When your industry is “having trouble finding the right staff” you might want to rethink where the finger is pointing… spoiler it’s not the staff

cmrn ,

Anyone have recommendations for an app (iOS) that doesn’t have slide interactions with comments? I keep upvoting like 4 comments every time I try to swipe out of a post with wefwef/Memmy/Thunder…
