Whatup fellow kids, you gettin’ indoctrinated by the man on the world wide web? Radical! 🇨🇦
You’re good these days until you want to do anything nonstandard.
By use case, the limited amount of things my parents do with their Future Shop still existed era Laptops got them comfortable with Fedora KDE pretty quickly.
Coming to a Linux distro as a Windows power user? I had skill issues.
If you’re using any of the myriad of apps based on Electron I have some bad news.
Didn’t know that :/ Hmm might switch myself then and delete my recc.
Something is, since conservatives appear to be the same organization operating globally now.
But I really think they’re opportunists mostly just dumbly copy catting each other with se exceptions.
Mind virus.
That’s cool, I hope ONLYOFFICE gets some love one day too. I vastly prefer the GUI at least in the word processor. Also open source.
note I’m only using it for writing, can’t speak to the rest of the suite
The type of case that plug has in the stock photo is not coming apart without extreme violence.
Now poorly enforceable!
Every day I’m happier I chose not to have kids.
Can’t be many of us who thought the web search engine company would turn into the killbot company.
Echoes back to the Facebook leaker
There’s no bar too low except that which receives continuous ceaseless push back against people who push things like this.
There isn’t enough push back to matter. So the bar lowers.
Zero women have tried to make one so far regardless of how many would use a new instance. So it can’t be all that in demand.
I think it naturally would occur if Lemmy grows in size. There’s not many people here to begin with.
The stupidity is truly breathtaking.
Well, it’s a smaller community. Eventually I’ll recognize a lot of you, and I assume the same of me. So I try to keep it real.
That idiom really dates me, huh.
It’s not just parents. Government and the education systems too.
Idealistically I’d say their millennial parents failed them for having that ignorance to begin with, so yes they should know better.
Realistically, you’re not wrong in your rebuttal.
I wonder how prevalent adblocking is among the younger generations
Speaking of advertising being a science like another person commented, it means it’s data driven.

Lots and lots: https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=how+prevalent+is+adblocking+by+generation
But more to the point:
Women in every generation block less ads however, which I found interesting.
I was just venting really, I’m not actually surprised this isn’t common knowledge. My bar for humanity already had tunnelled through the Mantel during covid, I think it’s in the outer core by now.
I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying either.
I think that’s true in general, but not why I was downdooted.
My guess was the downvotes are people assuming I don’t think it’s worse to manipulate children vs adults and that I was somehow okay with it apathetically.
I’m also an asshole occasionally when I see frustrating and disturbing things like this, so my kneejerk response is maybe where I fucked up.
I really need to get into the habit of letting a post stew in preview for a hot second before I let loose my mental vomit lol because I sometimes get my ass kicked for not communicating what I’m actually trying to say effectively.
Edit: Lemmy has been pretty kind to me for my clarifying edits when I do this to myself though, so thanks guys. Like this one :)
I hear you, I’m saying this shouldn’t have been news to anyone.
That’s how targeted advertising works yes. Not much of a reveal there?
I guess people need the obvious pointed out, and yeah fair enough.
Before I get dogpiled: I’m not defending them. I’m saying it’s sad people actually think or thought the bar was higher than this. You can tell me Google, Xhitter, whatever did the same and I’d say the same thing. You’re the product. You. Are. The. Product.
Unfortunately, Canada too. Very annoying.
