Seeing the same message over and over and over and over has been proven to have an effect subconsciously.

I'm responding the the question the op posed "For what?" and then proceeded to offer the most innocuous thing advertising does when there are far more well known malicious things happening every day. I agree this won't c

A hybrid capitalist system with social elements for healthcare and education and proper regulation is probably a better system. But those things are a far cry from talking about getting rid of private property and capitalism all together. I

To use your profile to target you based on political ideology to influence your opinion in ways that can possibly be against your own interest and to polarize you against other people. Advertising on FB was and still is even with their newe

Getting rid of private land ownership is one of the many reasons I can never get on board with more collectivist ideologies that support that. The idea is flawed in itself and we've seen it doesn't lead to good things when it is t

Jeez you doubled down. This is just going to turn into a more personal pissing match because frankly I have don't have good thoughts about you after this set of interactions and we both agree this is unconstructive so going to leave it

You should maybe take as evidence that you are both grey text (what I replied to initially) and that the only subsequent replies you've had are me telling you that you're somewhat off topic as signal that you are in fact somewhat

That doesn't make any sense. The code from affiliate sales has nothing to do with you, the end user. It identifies the affiliate, in this case Brave. There is no user information there. Their claim then is in perfectly good faith. I th

Sure, but they still paid for a physical product. If I actually own something in the truest sense of the word then a company shouldn't get to have any say over my continued use of the device, games etc regardless of what entirely abhor

Self promotion is a skill directly translated into $$$ in terms of raw compensation. It's one of the biggest blocks I see from developers who are otherwise qualified for positions like that but they don't know how to advocate fo

I'll fully admit I gloss right over the names of journalists typically in favor of reading the content of the article, though had I read that I still would have had to search for the story much like you did. I can take two things away
465.
by Grimm1 6y ago
Okay that is not particularly clear to me from the article and it's doing a disservice to the overall discussion then, imo. They should at least be linking to the original articles then to give context on that fact.

by Grimm1 6y ago
Sure I don't really care about that though, I care that this piece is a really bad representation of journalism and the fact that it's on the front page instead of better researched and fielded pieces two of which have been linked
467.
by Grimm1 6y ago
Fine but you had to use alternative sources to get that information. This particular piece is trash because it didn't go get those leaked documents and then discuss them in depth like the vice link. That is real investigative journalis

You didn't show me anything though. I've read those articles, I mentioned one point (actually I mentioned at least 2) but I've surely considered the others and many of the articles you mention are in fact cherry picked to cas

Empirically at my own account? How could I, without working for them, but I do read the news and follow these events. That's not bias that's a somewhat informed opinion and a conscious decision. I suppose I could go talk to people

by Grimm1 6y ago
That's my thinking, Amazon just seems to be a popular target. Even though they pay warehouse workers double the federal minimum wage at $15 and provide benefits. From what I've read negative instances are isolated to specific mana

Does anyone have a good recommendation to replace Msft 365? We moved to them to escape the google sphere but we're not down with this level of tracking capability either.

I'm using the Quest2 with ImmersedVR -- I find that it's more than enough for me and I can work for a few hours before I feel like I need to take a VR break. The headset is light enough that I don't super notice the weight an

I only need superficial socialization most of the time though. It's kind of silly to think everyone needs deeply engaging social time for 99% of their life. My close friends are all busy and successful we talk and see each other every

Medium does help with a lot of distribution through internal members. That's really nice when you're trying to get an article to many people quickly but, point taken. We'll be reblogging all our content on a self hosted Jekky
