bigger influencers can pay money to get a list of companies that will drive more engagement when mentioned in a video, as the list is updated!

who cares, though? they have to expend effort to filter their data if they don't want to give the wrong impression to the people giving them money. It increases friction.

I can't tell if it's adnauseam or the fact i use ipv6 that gets me to click traffic lights and busses all the time, but i don't care, click those ads!

counterpoint: The "adblocker" AdNauseam. not only does it fetch every ad , it clicks them. every single ad is clicked. It keeps a running tally of how much money it's cost advertisers. So, it is war, then.

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, are these the same people? so only the militia gets to be secure? Are you sure?

I notice you put a semicolon there. You forgot to put the rest: > the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. what does "the people" mean to you?

This is not correct. to the best of my memory, no year since the 90s has had more than 100 or 200 total officer fatalities in the line of duty. Police routinely kill 3 people a day. it's a pretty high bar to say that all three people t

don't worry, Axon wants to put all 90,000 CCTV cameras into a database for dragnets, too. And i'm sure there will be startups, possibly even mentioned here, that want the same thing. There's a lot of money in cyberstalking an

How do you propose that a child's device will remember their age in a "legally distinct" way for the life of the device? You ought understand what i am asking here, as it directly follows what i said before. You have a child,

chronological feed nuisances can be blocked or not followed in the first place. It is absolutely not an algorithm by the definition we're all using here. It is an algorithm on a data structure , but it is not an algorithm to drive

Maybe. I give kids more credit than most people on here, i guess. All it takes is one moment for the kids to see the password, guess the password, or whatever. if there's a physical key involved, parents sleep. A determined kid will fi

I hope i can find this comment in a few years. Also children can "come upon" devices, so this is still completely pointless unless there's a way to ban devices that don't have this ability. and the only way to do that

"most liked" won't work. has to be chronological, and manually curated. the way fediverse works. when you make an account somewhere, you can choose to see the local people, or the entire network, but it's all chronologic

systemd is a massive blob of code that infects every part of a system and all of its subsystems. It completely changed the way system administration was done, the way init scripts work, and added tons of things to init that some argue aren&

and that's as useful as self-documenting "i am over 18" or "over 21" for things that require that, without any document checks. this is a way to get something legal on paper, the rest of the stuff (patches, if you w

We moved on to oranges really fast after realizing that batteries coming out of the sky randomly was probably a bad idea, even if there were no apparent people around. Don't get me wrong, oranges are dangerous too, coming out of the sk

the "shot you've been waiting for" was sort of anticlimactic, but the two plywood arm shots after show what it actually sounds like. I think the grass and tree dulled the sound a lot on the metal arm. I actually have a camera

so it might need to be redownloaded. I can only say in my limited experience i've only had this happen one, maybe two times, a really long time ago. and usually with cam, which is why some people are patient and wait for TS or TC rips
