That “usually nothing bad happens” will have to do.

It’s not just that. Most people here are into far left, anti-capitalist bs and people don’t care to deal with that

So fkn dumb. Just have markers on the floor outside, where everyone needs to stand respective to their seat and have them go in in 3 or 6 waves, one for outer, middle and inner seat each. So much less headache for everyone and so much faster.

Nicer UI. Not exactly sure how the whole thing works, I think you are somehow able to enable/disable certain add-ons and from what I can gather extendes has a few more. Tl;dr: It’s better, consider giving it a try.

Then repeat this process every few months the device decides it needs to ask the password of you again. Not playing this game

I always thought the reason they don’t take any action, is exactly because adblockers would then work as the guy above described.

Companies posting ads would eventually become aware, that a not insignificant portion of viewers don’t even see the ads they are paying for. I don’t see how this won’t cause a backlash… i guess youtube calculated that in and thinks it’ll be worth it any way.

Same. If it wasn’t for my adblockers, I’d have stopped using youtube long ago.

I’m a student; Unions are great; the meme is just shit

Make something that’s actually funny?

…which would be valid

Superbly shitty meme, wow

He got his money back and a 5dollar gift code. Shit happens

Targeted ads has become such a boogey man, that you all can no longer view these things rationally. There is nothing wrong with companies wanted to get their products advertized to the most likely customers and there is nothing inherently wrong with a platform using your activity to see what ads you are most likely interested in.

The potential issue with it, is your personal data leaking everywhere and being assimilated by questionable companies who could create a psychological profile of you, that knows you better than you know yourself.

If they truely only let companies target you, by presenting them an internally grouped collective of likely customers in which you happen to be included, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Same goes for the newest change in how chrome manages ads.

You clearly have no idea what a brain interface is.

I absolutely would. I’d not line up to be among the first, but controlling devices via a brain interface is an inevitable step of technological evolution.

It will provide such an immense performance boost, that many professions may become unattainable without having one. Possibly within our lifetime.

Which should have been the expected response. Extremism can only ever create more extremism on the other end of the spectrum.

The only thing those street gluers achieve is the exact opposite of their goal.

Dont use plastic straws, drive public transport or bike, buy bio food, donate to orgs, glue yourself to the street

and maybe… just maybe… you will change fuck all

Same

Are you actually bots? I can’t believe you would suggest either chrome or bing if privacy is a concern to you. It’s firefox and duckduckgo all day, every day…

And acting like there are no upsides is delusional. Of course there are upsides, or it wouldn’t have happened. The downsides always outweigh the upsides of course.
