There is a lot of information in the way you type and the topics you choose to discuss. More than we suspect.

Sure but it would be trivial for a company to build profiles on people using public apps like Lemmy.

Like everything he has ever said about it? lol wtf is this comment.

There’s an argument that increasing friction can help people addicted to their tech not get pulled in. Lots of apps designed to do that popping up with hard time limits and locks the last few years. Apple and Google are definitely aware that their design choices put them in the crosshairs at schools and employers. These sort of things pass the buck back.

Comically, Vista was criticized at the time for aping Apple’s Aqua. This clearly takes a lot from Aqua honestly.

All the major designers are borrowing from each other constantly. All roads eventually lead to NeXt.

This is incredibly reductionist. Wow.

China demoed tech that can recognize people based on the gait of their walk. Mask or not. This would be a really interesting topic if it wasn’t so scary.

Terrible argument. You can’t ignore scale. Algorithmic timelines increase efficacy and precision of ads tremendously. These platforms know exactly who to target with what ad, at what time, with what frequency to get the desired result. It’s like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car.

Generative ads will be even worse because they can be made specifically to each individual.

If the units are set to inches for length. You can just type G (grab), X (or Y or Z), and 1 to move an inch in any direction. I think it used to be worse.

But without the plants and blue water.

Not only a lack of designers, but the very concept of them is held in contempt among way too many in the open-source world (like this thread even).

This is a great point. Manufactured consent and all.
