ALL advertising is a targeted psyop. It’s literally trying to get you to do something you wouldn’t otherwise do.

Still better than being spied on. Irrelevant ads are an improvement.

Constitutionally, no. But when has the constitution ever stopped Trump?

Tensions rise? I think we call that aggression, not tension.

Legally, it seems it does, at least in the US and EU. I assume China too.

Whether or not it should is a different argument, but copyright is a legal framework, not an ethical one.

Nah, these guys are all the deprecated hydraulics-driven versions. The new ones are electric and not as strong.

I’d ban educational institutions from participating or funding teams. I’m sick of our university budget going to funding the damn sports teams and massive stadiums instead of, you know, education.

It’s intolerable even WITH an ad blocker. There are so many dark patterns these days.

While that’s certainly annoying, valkey IS the better option.

AGPL, nice

Ain’t we all!

It’s a pointless debate anyway, because “free will” is a fuzzy concept anyway, and highly subject to personal opinion.

This is my favorite type of democracy. Why even have representatives in a digital-first world?

I love projects like this. Do one thing, super well, without adding a kajillion dependencies. I love the vanilla HTML / CSS approach.

Octopuses are quite intelligent but I don’t think they have the lifespan to become a dominant society.

So many creatures are almost there but missing just one or two things.

If whales had thumbs (to enable tool building), I have no doubt they’d have become dominant like humans did on land. Though I suppose it would’ve been difficult to discover fire underwater.

It’s not. There is a small but measurable portion of the population who have gotten romantically attached to AI chatbots.

I wouldn’t worry about it, there have been people like this as long as humans have existed. Like, people who claim to have relationships with ghosts, or fictional characters, etc.

And when they say anything other than “You’re absolutely right!”

Some people don’t care if they get caught. If that’s true, any consumer drone would work.
