some people have no soul and want that reflected in the environment
name a language that websites are written in that has less than a million users
the problem is that even if you convince 5 million people to join your union and raise your wages, the other 295 million people in the country are then gonna take the opportunity to undercut you, which leads you to be fired as “too expensive” and other people to take your job.
yeah i’ve made the same experience. they don’t seem to actually store the fingerprint across each site visit? or they do but it changes continuously. in which case, good job firefox ❤️
actually, what i’ve learned is that some people (probably the majority?) actually like being shown ads. that is, i believe, because many people have no inherent purpose of life. so they need to be told why they exist by someone else (“you must consume” is the message of ads. it gives people a purpose in life).
I also pointed out that this was highly unethical because it’s using physiological data to manipulate someone into spending money. Indiscriminately.
I said What about people with a shopping addiction.? Or kids using their parents credit cards. And you would be using this data to psychologically manipulate people for purchases but the data could be used in all sorts of other ways that really even more unethical.
marketing is highly unethical in general. however, your points are kinda invalid. sure, children can use their parents’ credit cards, but they can also burn the money with a lighter. children can do stupid things, and ideally such a purchase would be illegal and the parents eligible for a refund. or you would need a password to authenticate etc.
however what is a real problem is that advertisement poisons our environment. when you step out on the street, there’s ads everywhere. you can’t go anywhere where there’s no ads. the consequence is that your head is trapped in an eternal cobweb of “consume, consume, consume”. you must consume, there is nothing else to do. that is the true horror that modern marketing has brought to us. psychologically hacking the brain to make us think about buying stuff all the time.
yeah that can all (except language) happen browser-side easily
and language, now the website knows i speak english. there’s 1.5 billion people speaking english. that alone does not identify me.
i agree with everything besides “it’s our job to …”
yeah but now the website knows i speak english. that does not personally identify me. there are 5 billion people speaking english
ok nvm it’s 1.5 billion, still a lot.
uhh at the risk of stating the obvious, i think you’re missing a whole lot of context here.
the reason why “fuckboys are gross” is mostly because they’re obnoxious, loud, stinky, and annoy the shit out of everyone in their environment because they believe they’re better than everyone else, everyone else has to subdue to them and the whole “fucking” is actually just about projecting power. that’s what’s annoying.
and that’s not what’s happening here. i don’t see any “projection of power” in violet’s posts.
i think the word “engineer” has something to do with the word “ingenuity” … now ask yourself, how much creative thinking do you need as a coder?
interessant. ich erinnere mich gelesen zu haben dass sogar vögel meistens 5 finger haben und das zeigt schon dass die 5-fingrigkeit ein sehr altes evolutionäres konzept ist.
nur so als nebenbei fact

wusste gar nicht dass die tagesschau so schreeeeiben kann
hahah wie einem das leben so streiche spielt :)
aber ernsthaft jetzt, bin froh dass es nichts ernstes ist.
1·1 month agowhat’s a reliable source? does the CIA world factbook, for example, count as a reliable source?

it’s more like colorfulness is connected to a hopeful outlook on life, and grayscale thinking occurs when people have depression …
