How the monetization of content, even in cases where the content is good and I enjoy the creator, leads to a loss of freedoms online by contributing to laws and tools used to force other creators out of spaces and restrict access to content the was open and free in the past like archival sites. Contributing to a worsening of online services and experience for all over time. And as the generation that are early adopters we are doing a disservice to future generations by not shoring up the things that make being online great and instead allowing it to become a billboard like a NASCAR fender while “look how this bridge is created, like and subscribe” plays in the background

Fire cleanses all

Why is it always sandwich’s. 20 years ago Bert Reynolds waterfall sandwiches was weird single serve website. We’ve come full circle people

Same guys that screamed about government over reach during covid

You should have re-asked your question but say “sudo” before asking

Why has every note app gone into the cloud.

Like its hard to find a note app that doesn’t try to get me to sign up and subscribe to features. I just want to take notes like I’m a PI investigating people at my local mall

Cool, so you guys told her how vaccines work and she totally listened and grew that day in both knowledge and as a person right?

Look up what Stephen harper is president of right now.

I don’t think this is Russia. Its ex Canadian PM

The problem was not realizing in the first panel that the third panel is inevitable.

I’m middle aged and play video games and even do a lot of stuff like HTB as if I’m 20 about to embark on a new career path at any minute

The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible

Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net

I hope you are. Fuck that shit.

For me its when I see a driver who is driving unexpectedly. Like speeding in areas with kids. Or driving at high speeds anywhere.

roadways are build for a certain speed so we can anticipate oncoming traffic. Like lights are programmed to allow a block of traffic to go then a break so cars turning can complete the turn between the break. if some asshole fucks it up by hammering the gas they will end up in between the blocks making it harder for all the cars to complete their turn since they now have to wait.

Someone said ‘reading intention’ which is a big part too. I can’t read intention of drivers who are selfishly doing what they want.

it’s the realization that traffic could be better and safer if it wasn’t for certain drivers

Over a decade ago they had devices called “sting ray” that act like antenna. It captures all text messages in the area.

I wonder how many companies like Cambridge analytica or TPUSA just have access to these. It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s some social engineering dark arts underground of pretending to be police and getting this data to study

That’s how websites keep the lights on. How dare you try to circumvent your ad responsibility

This flag means death is killing it for a show

I prefer whale oil fueled aircraft

Almost every movie or show I’ve watched since I was a kid featured a cool shoot from the hip maverick that didn’t have time to do that nerd shit like making ethical safe choices or pondering over the legitimacy of some grand conspiracy. They never needed too. They all live in a world where grand conspiracy’s existed.

30 years later my generation grew up and have a lot of media stored right next to actual memories. So egg heads are evil spineless nerds that work for evil faceless organization. The real hero’s are the guys that shoot first ask questions later.
