Campaigns Can Now See What You Watch on TV. (www.notus.org)

Televisions that can stream platforms like Hulu or Max usually come loaded with technology that collects information on what viewers are watching, and buyers consent to have their viewing tracked when they open their new TV and click through terms of service agreements. Sometimes, data firms can connect those viewing habits to a...

99% of people will buy the cheaper TV with tracking, it probably not sustainable to sell the expensive one without. This stuff just needs to be banned

    Wow, I thought the anonymousejoker was deranged but you are at least as crazy if not worse. I guess it makes sense that a niche privacy community would attract such weirdos but you're (both) making it really hard for people to get quality information.

    Any temprory free OTP number sites you know that works ?

    I just want one to sign up for telegram, yes yes I know there can be privacy concerns but I'm only going to use it for piracy anyway and gonna enable 2FA . I don't have any mode of online payment and I'm broke anyway, so it has to be free . Looking back on some old reddit threads some seems to work for the people some don't, but...

    The chance that it's compromised is small but unfortunately the chance that it would be noticed is pretty small too, nobody is reading all the source code of all the apps on fdroid

    Now that's a paranoid take lmao

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yes, of course there are plenty of workplaces this bad, but they still wouldn't write "voluntary mandatory"

    porous_grey_matter ,

    That's a feature not a bug.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    They only "officially" dont, but in fact they wield a huge amount of power over the government, there have been several scandals about it in recent years

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Eg https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jun/04/black-spider-memos-second-batch-of-prince-charless-letters-released

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yes, if you have a domain you can catch all emails being sent there even if you don't know the name - having the domain means controlling the bit after the @, so every email address with that ending.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    They couldn't give less of a shit about the 7 people in the world that use pi-holes

    porous_grey_matter ,

    It's Scottish, sometimes 'to' is spelled 'tae' but that's just a matter of preference, basically just means "fuck off" in several senses but in this case the incredulous "I don't believe you" one.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Hahahaha, good one

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Love it

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Estonian vibes

    porous_grey_matter ,

    No that's correct

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yes, it's pure unfiltered bullshit. A time honoured way to get investment tbh

    porous_grey_matter ,

    no one says no profits should be had at all.

    Actually quite a few of us do say that

    porous_grey_matter ,

    That's because people in the US don't protest for real, since it's totally toothless there's not much crackdown either

    porous_grey_matter ,

    the next definition

    So, overlapping meanings, not synonyms

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I don't think your argument quite holds up. The directionality is important. It's true that the government can't always know about technical things directly, but I think it's fine for the government to be expected to know which experts they need to consult, and for that process not to just be open to everyone (which just means more open to those with more money).

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Far from true depending on where OP lives. High profile sites (e.g. mainstream social media or streaming) can make $ 5-15 USD per user per month if that user is in favourable demographic (mainly living in a rich country, US or EU). A blog without registration will make way less than that, obviously people are viewing way less ads there than sites they stay on for hours, but it's still much more than $1 per lifetime.

    Google pays as much as 2c per page view for North American viewers in some categories (but realistically more like 0.5c). So $1 is good for a few hundred page views.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of "best of both worlds" for adblocking. So if it's some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.

    If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.

    30 years between beyond thunderdome and fury road

    I dont think Watermelon went to theatre school in London just to prepare for this scene, just that they think they're a better actor than this

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I think if you make sure to call someone an "igg", or preferably, a "bliddy igg", then should still be fine

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Can we please replace the racist slang? I get that there's not currently a better single word for superficial janky optimization but I'm sure one of y'all is funny enough to come up with one

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yeah it is; specifically Japanese cars because Asian = rice I guess?

    porous_grey_matter ,

    You sound like someone who thinks the n word isn't if it's in lyrics

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I haven't discussed this here before, you must be thinking of someone else. Anyway, in my opinion, since it's a word explicitly created to make fun of Asian people and Asian cars, like many slurs associating a bunch of different cultures with a staple food, it kinda doesn't matter what someone's "intent" is when they use it.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    That acronym was made up way later, and making up some acronym for an existing word it doesn't magically make it ok or wipe out what it already meant. Sure language isn't static but it still means that thing.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    It clearly wasn't "determined". Asian users can speak for themselves, they don't need you to do it for them.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I don't, though. Pointing out that something is derogatory doesn't require the people it's directed at to have any opinion about it one way or the other.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I agree slurs refer to people, but if you call a Japanese car a "rice cooker" (which is where this comes from) that's insulting the people...

    And, yeah, at least originally. "Kraut" is one of those things that really has evolved somewhat, especially through krautrock in the 70s and other things. And whether it's racist is complex depending on definitions and blah blah blah. But it was definitely 100% coined as a slur.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Are you being for real? You dont understand the difference between calling an Asian person rice, and "Frenchie"? Smh my head

    porous_grey_matter ,

    First of all, why the fuck would all names for people be equal? That's insane. Do you think that the n word is equally offensive as those slurs you listed too? Or you just think it's fine like calling someone Frenchie? Either way doesn't look good.

    Secondly this shit is so established there's a Wikipedia page about it. Just cos you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's just being made up, there's no need to go on some anti-woke crusade.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yeah lol of course, they would absolutely love any excuse to do that

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Police discretion will already make an exception for them even it's not explicitly carved out, there is no silver lining, it's just more police state shit

    porous_grey_matter ,

    They don't need a carve out for that, police discretion will do

    porous_grey_matter ,

    I've never heard of it but I can tell you the validity of that is definitely bullshit

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Mewfour, obviously

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Eighteen generations of mews, to be precise

    porous_grey_matter ,

    You assume wrong. In the UK, about 0.3-0.5% of people work in marketing or advertising, and that's one of the most extremely financialised service economies in the whole world. No way is the number anywhere near even that high in countries where people actually work for a living.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Yeah, I mean it's still an insanely high amount IMO, you're not wrong in the sense that it's "way too many people"

    porous_grey_matter , (edited )

    Psychology from the 60s is unreplicatable just-so story trash. Some stuff being done in the last decade or two is starting to approach legitimacy, but I think we're still not really there yet.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    But the privacy is just a facade, right? Like with that recent scandal about the government requesting push notification info, Google of all companies was actually only handing it over with valid warrants while Apple was giving it to any law enforcement who asked.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    This is such a dumb take - doing unpaid labour for corporations is what makes someone a good person? Nah.

    porous_grey_matter ,

    Nah lol I return the shopping cart and don't make a mess in public. But I really don't believe that's some kinda evidence of morality.
