Can’t believe you cut the other half out

I’ve been wondering lately how effective a service would be that takes your credentials for a service, such as YouTube, and starts engaging with content at random so that the data the service has on you is all junk

Don’t know how meaningful something like this would even be, but if all these companies are gonna try so hard to collect data on me then I’d rather fill that data with useless junk

I don’t doubt you, but do you have a source for that figure?

This makes me think we’re looking at the other side of the uncanny valley

people would rather feed another addiction (spend hours on TV and TikTok, but one hour cooking is too much)

I’d argue that people engage in these activities because people are tired from working too hard for too little for too long

It could very well be, I’m not familiar with this product at all. It does come to my attention that the statue of liberty’s torch is the most prominent visual element on the page; combined with the block of text and the name of the phone itself I could definitely see where the poster is coming from, it gives off a nationalist air despite it being fairly reserved/neutral in its visual language. It kinda makes me think the purism name was no coincidence but I’d like to think otherwise

The URL being puri.sm was what I noticed first

Sadly, using small niche VPNs that might be more trusted makes you stand out more.

This probably doesn’t matter does it? Because being spotted as a mulvad, airvpn, etc user doesn’t make you more of a target for anything.

I’m just taking a stab at this since I’m not entirely certain, but I would think that this would weaken you against fingerprinting since it depends on having many different semi-unique characteristics as you browse?

Don’t ever see a whole lot of casual WoT references lol

Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time

I’ve always seen Blender as a 3D art tool but never as a precise 3D engineering tool. Didn’t even know Blender had CAD features

I know people who like Target partly because of their selection of skincare products, and a lot of their clothes are stylish and relatively durable for what you pay for them. Both of those qualities can be found in plenty of other stores, though. Never bothered shopping for groceries there because the prices are truly ridiculous for a supermarket

Nice

I’ve gradually been switching over. The UI is somewhat confusing in my experience- but the MSO UX+UI is consistently getting much, much worse as time passes

I think they mean that, by definition, the entire world is diverse

I agree that they offer a good VR experience from a VR-feel standpoint- that said, Meta inherited all the best UX that came out of Oculus just to massively deteriorate it since then

Better yet, crack it open and find a way to load alternative firmware onto it

I’m imagining some sort of an Iron Man situation

Is Pebble still alive? I quit using mine a long time ago because I wound up getting an AW, but I’ve still kept it somewhere
