All these people in the comments complaining that the bar isn't level when the picture is just taken from a slight side angle? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ literal perspective problem πŸ˜‚

Also people being like "lol no such thing as a TV-bar-hanger-contractor"..... Audio/video contractors of course do this??? Like, who said its the only thing their job entails?? πŸ˜‚

"Upgraded" 🀣🀣

3 minute BBC earth vid of the little dudes. How have I never seen these things before! Incredible

So stoked to see this. A bit disheartening to read this kinda shit, though=

β€œThis victory against Google is an historic win for the American people,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland. β€œNo company β€” no matter how large or influential β€” is above the law. The Justice Department will continue to vigorously enforce our antitrust laws.”

Only to be followed a few paragraphs down by

...a drawn-out appeals process will delay any immediate effects for both consumers and advertisers. The appeals process could take as long as five years...

Sigh.

YES emoji search would be amazing!

You could also give Shizuku a try! Connects to android's adb bridge over WiFi, right from your phone! From there you can use something like termux to shell straight into your phone!

OK but hold on - are we not gonna talk about friggin doritos in unsalted butter???

For what's worth, I registered for the FCC's do not call registry way back and it helped a bit - but once you're registered, if you get spam calls, you can report the numbers to the FCC for having called you despite being on the registry. YMMV but it might be worth a shot!

Yeah I've started doing the same and its almost like they maintain a list of us time wasters πŸ˜… I'll typically play along as long as I can so they think I'm all game. After they rage quit I immediately call the number back from a second phone and attempt to play dumb like I got disconnected, typically with some other dumbass that just resets and starts the script over, so I get a free two-fer πŸ˜‚

It has become a fun little ride every once in a while!

Ya know what dude, you're totally right! Fuck it, I'm making the jump! πŸ˜ƒπŸ€˜

 

The whole article's a great read, but here's a fun excerpt=

To be perfectly blunt, AI girlfriends are not your friends. Although they are marketed as something that will enhance your mental health and well-being, they specialize in delivering dependency, loneliness, and toxicity, all while prying as much data as possible from you.” --Misha Rykov, Researcher @ *Privacy Not Included

 

I'm taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that's easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you'd have to request from advertisers themselves? (AdSense etc?) Or maybe do the service providers (mentioned before) store that data?

Forgive my ignorance - still learning about this stuff!
