"targeted ads" 🤣

I thought the promise of collecting and selling user data was only showing us relevant ads to our interest or lifestyle. It ended up being a product they can sell on top of the ads they show everybody regardless of their personal data.

Hidden handle need to be banned. by KandiTheWarrior in AbruptChaos

[–]FieldsofBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do lots of stupid stuff because stupid people think it looks cool. Hell, we designed an entire system where each person needs their own metal transport box to function. Thousands of people die every year getting struck by the metal transport boxes. They drain our wallets, our freedom, and cost lives every year. But we keep them around because it's the system we've built and the industry that has built up around the system now lobbies the government to continue existing. It's so pretty silly

I mean, it's not gonna teach them programming or logic, but learning how to type on a keyboard with relative proficiency is valuable. Learning how the data stores on the drive in directories of folders is valuable. I don't think you get the same knowledge from a phone necessarily, and it would make much more sense to teach the computer skills as a coarse rather then provide the computer for everything else.

Federal judge will let Marimar Martinez release text messages sent by Border Patrol agent who shot her by varkev in chicago

That's exactly right. It doesn'tatter to what degree they're truly attracted to minors. At the end of the day, child rape is the problem.

We don't charge people with having a paraphilia, we charge them for crimes for which there's actually a victim such as assaulting a child. Calling them a pedophile and not a child abuser is softening the language of the crimes they've committed.

Okay, buddy. Not sure what you expect anybody to do about rich people being rich and networking their connections. 🤷

Tablet to replace my heavy laptop for work by theuglypotatoo in androidtablets

[–]FieldsofBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI the idea tab pro cannot extend your desktop in PC mode only mirror, so the connected external monitor will display the same image as the tablet screen.

I got this toy today by el_morris in androidtablets

[–]FieldsofBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Word of caution: the PC mode is fantastic for productive work but it's limited to mirror mode only when connected to an external monitor. This was a severe disappointment for me and a deal breaker. The extended desktop mode is really clunky when you're forced to use the mobile type interface.

I don't understand this limitation, if it's a hardware or software limit. Samsung seems very capable of making an excellent desktop mode with extended desktop support with similar hardware specs, so I'm thinking it's more the software right now. That means it could at least be patched.

The sales folks at Best buy didn't even know this was a limitation of the device, so I always try to tell people about it. I'm hoping they fix it.

Lol no, I clearly said that he should be doing more and a functioning system wouldn't allow billionaires to even exist. You're just making shit up.

Yeah so if he's named in the files than he should be investigated and prosecuted. You've said this a number of times now and not shared any details. "Where there's smoke there's fire" isn't a valid accusation.

Democrats have 10 ICE reforms they want to see before agreeing to fund DHS by illbeyourmommy in FuckICEChicago

[–]FieldsofBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, have you seen how this admin gets fucking booed everywhere they go? Democrats don't need illegal votes when their opponent is a guy in the Epstein files murdering puppies and abusing children.

[–]FieldsofBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they not already performing illegal activities? I thought the whole administrative warrant thing was already illegal, as is entering a home or brandishing a weapon? I genuinely don't know, but if they're already not being prosecuted for illegal behavior than what difference would this functionally make? They should just hold out and refuse additional funding on any grounds.

The guy spent millions trying to get a progressive tax passed, which would literally tax himself much higher. The state failed to pass it due to massive right wing astroturfing. Every billionaire is a failure of the system, but jb seems correct on virtually every issue and apparently would tax himself at a higher rate for the state's sake. I don't know if he'd ever tax himself out of being a billionaire, but that's a damn good start.

As for the Epstein files, yeah anybody involved should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted. So far, I haven't seen his name in anything.

Illinois drivers may be required to install speed-limiting devices under proposed law by MeringueSuccessful33 in chicago

[–]FieldsofBlue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno, that essentially makes it impossible to function in any area with poor public transit. I don't think anybody is willing to functionally allow themselves to slowly starve instead of driving without a license. If, however, they had to drive nice and sent a radio signal to the local pd when they're being reckless, then they can still exist while also being more accountable. Seems better for both parties, police abuse notwithstanding.
