Well, and all the lying

Came to the comments to post the "first time?" meme but yes exactly this. This isn't a bug of capitalism, it isn't even a feature; it's literally just capitalism itself. That's how it works

No it's completely different because gambling is regulated and this isn't, so obviously they're not the same thing /s

Should have worried about that three decades ago...

"The study used artificial intelligence to compare..." Bet it has a bullet-proof methodology too

I've heard all of these lots... Regional differences? They're certainly popular in entertainment too

And the "white anger" bit is clearly a joke

Inb4 let them eat cake

I switched to vertical tabs and started using tab groups so I never lose anything I don't mean to (I treat non-grouped tabs as ephemeral)

But that's just because I always have the same stuff open (LAN services, but also videos and music because I use tabs like a pseudo playlist)

Seeing, in a row, an age ID article, Google's QR captcha, and this. It's all the same shit.

Capital is so fucking thirsty to know exactly who you are and what you're doing every second of every day. Every rich and powerful person on earth is pushing governments and companies to get a live 24/7 camera feed of your asshole. Privacy will become impossible and resistance will become a crime.

Reward them for the world they're making.

Guess I'll never know.

Back in the day, piracy sites were relatively flooded with ads. Being exposed to many&sketchy ads was part of the cost of 'free' while the official sites had fewer and had higher standards for what advertisers they allowed.

Now piracy sites have a few annoying banners and fake download buttons, but it's mostly just porn. Meanwhile the real sites are plastered to the point where content is crowded out and like 3/4ths of the ads are scams. There's one on YouTube right now about a miracle disease cure claiming to be in the bible and it's been running for over two weeks now; not to mention all the AI slop scams and malware.

It's kind of absurd how shit the web has gotten as it was corporatized and monetized. Even the word "web" hardly applies anymore.

Many have forgotten what was lost, or never knew. Cyberspace was wonderful once.

Toxic industry doesn't care. Leech everything dry for the shareholders. You're either crunching or out of work, no in between. No one wants to keep staff on hand and build talent; they just churn through the available (human) resources and swap studios and IP between megacorps like tradingcards

Iirc the knitting on display here is very complex and reveals a lot about their abilities
