Moving the goal posts 😥

Yeah American Cheese the product is some crazy shit. You should try some artisan cheese from Wisconsin, though. World class stuff over there. I had a 15 year cave aged cheddar from there once and I’m still thinking about it to this day.

No arguments from me. When can we start?

American here. Can we come too?

No offense to nebula (I’m rooting for them) but unless you exclusively watch news and educational content it basically has nothing to offer. I tried it for a year and I ended up barely using it because I don’t watch that type of content.

Apple is like a predatory landlord and hoa all rolled into one pile of fuck you towards it’s developers. A reckoning cannot come soon enough for them.

There’s been ads in Google for over a decade now.

To be honest I’m just praying your regulators make laws so draconian that it ripples over here and improves things indirectly. That seems to be all we can hope for anymore. 😔

Too techy for me unfortunately. That’s why I’m looking for something that doesn’t have ads natively.

Do Chromecasts not have ads? I’ve never used one.

I hope some people with the means setup bot farms that just pump garbage or subversive stuff like you said into these things until they lose all usefulness to the corpos. It does seem like one of the best ways to counter them.

As much as the tech savvy folks on here can espouse trying to protect your own privacy by doing this or avoiding that, it’s just not a reasonable expectation and the burden to do better should be on the companies collecting data. The vast, vast majority of users won’t even be aware of what’s happening, and that means it’s everyone’s problem, or will be, whenever this blows up someday. You can try your best to avoid giving up your data, but none of it matters because everyone else in your life gave it up already. It’s all a villainous entreprise and I do believe it will blow up someday, maybe not even too far in the future.

Yeah that ship sailed months ago. AI is practically a meaningless term at this point.
