A master of Karate
and friendship
for everyone

I don’t think being on Lemmy counts as reading and writing. hehe

Thanks dog!

We need that template! 👷

The other guy never stood a chance! That’s the power of the F.O.R.K.L.I.F.T. system:

Forklift
Observe
Rule the situation
Knockout your competition
Lift her into your arms
Initiate eye contact
Fuck
Target your next cargo

We can do it, we can create our own Internet, I mean Lemmy, without pitchforks and torches! At least until Lemmy gets relevant. Well, as “relevant” as reddit used to be.

Basically I see two options:

1. This works for advertisers and based on your “profile” you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.

2. This doesn’t work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.

Also I don’t my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.

There are radio stations, financed through ads. And they check if people are listening by calling random persons to ask them what station they are listening to.

So this is a viable business model and nobody is stopping anybody from putting plain pictures and links on sites and just estimate the page visits, but online advertisers want to know more. They always want more.

At the same time, a browser is the essential software to browse the web. So this is as if your TV was like:

Yo, many people mute their TV during commercials and don’t pay attention, which kills the poor networks. So I made a deal with advertisers and will check what your doing, while I provide unmutable ads , but don’t worry, your privacy is very important to us and we only care about providing to you the best TV experience possible.

I… I think the mind trick is working on me. Which would imply that this actually is what I was looking for…

Which means not I, but Obi Wan was the degenerate pervert the whole time!

And as an unstoppable force of nature and chaos… you order some stuff online and get food delivered.

Behold! Our mundane god of meaningless is looking for ways to fill the void inside!

I’ll get the plunger…

Wait, you play games to have fun and not as a duty? What about “pride and accomplishment”? ;)

The moment I embraced easy mode was when Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was like: “Is the gameplay we designed for our single player game too tedious? Then buy some legendary items with IRL money or maybe our XP cheat!”

Easy! Since I understand everything I can just remain perfect and share my wisdom as I see fit.

Well, it’s nice that you two found a common ground here, wife and husband. It is a bit weird you did so by communicating via Lemmy comments, but’s great if this works for you. ;)

Even if it isn’t altruism, it is a sign and people just freaked out over rainbows on beer cans.

I mean sure, you shouldn’t think a company is your friend, but if they publicly declare support, I wouldn’t attack them neither.

I don’t get it. Am I an egg or a potato in this scenario? How can I change between the two and does that make me imune to boiling water?

You better shut your noisy mouth or he will shove a burger in there and let the hot coffee do the talking.

So 50% success rate! I can pull 10 pp slides from that, asking for more resources to do more AI!
Now, where’s MY COKE!?

I can see an infinite number of meetings with management figures and/or investors asking:

“Everyone in tech is talking about AI and we are tech, hightech even so, are we not? So, what do we / what does your department do with AI?”

It’s like millions of voices silently crying out in pain.

Oh how humorous.

Well, zins zer are no games with Germans in zem, we’ll never know what ze meme would look like with zem.
What a pitty, but ze meme is FINISHED!
