Moclans: “Am I a joke to you?”

Dark patterns will eventually force advertisements into anything that reliably catches your attention.

I stopped paying attention to notification icons ages ago, and I haven’t missed any important notifications.

Billionaires who own the means of production trying to own the means of communication as well.

When they can’t, they’ll own the government, and outlaw it.

It’s like poetry.

You own what is on your machine, that you save locally.

Some companies believe they control the internet, but they do not. They control what is on the computers they own, that they save locally. Sometimes that is information that users have shared. That is their choice.

Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.

“It’s for the safety of the children”

Steam, Spotify, Discord. Whoops, all Chromium.

I would challenge you to find a modern automobile manufacturer who doesn’t make their logo huge and illuminated. Also, you can no longer remove them, as they’re often now build into the body-work or grille .

Selective quoting is basically lying.

The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak. Intelsat declared the satellite a total loss in April 2019, later attributing it to either a micrometeoroid strike or solar weather activity.

With the context of the quote, I"m curious what the pattern you’ve identified is.

I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

The bus to the office was always empty.

The bus home was always packed.

Now I work from home

You just won the thread.

I’m sad they’re not videos, but what a treasure trove.

As a habitual lurker, this is amazing. I can keep abreast if my local town subreddit without loading their horrendous mobile site. Bravo.

Considering the needs of others and suggesting behaviours that benefit the larger whole is often scoffed at in the United States. See: History.

YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it’s unused.

Civ: End turn

Driving games: Shift paddle

It’s like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

Sounds like socialism

Maybe not if you could cross play.

At current, there are 32k negative reviews. That’s 32,000 people angry enough to go add or modify a review to be negative. The active player base is 100k. As far as “vocal minority” goes…

Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.
