I literally just wanted a login with a password experience with no ads or sketchy telemetry from my OS. Like how Windows 7 worked or at least how I thought it worked.

In a work environment I can only assume they just leave that box in the flow but the actual session duration limit is set by your IT policy.

Probably your mom, the whale.

The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.

I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.

Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.

I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…

If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?

That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.

I rent through Costco and try to pick Alamo when possible. Avis is decent but they often share a line with Budget which can take forever.

I’m not a loyalty member of any brand for reference.

Joctober and Novemy sound fun!

That is a big bridge. Impressive to see that many people shoulder to shoulder.

I visited Budapest in 2015 and most recently this summer. The city subway was significantly modernized, and also felt more expensive. Overall a great experience. Curious how the last 10 years have been for you? What’s your recommendation for a place to visit in Hungary outside of Budapest?

Got it so buy a second drive, and pay $15/mo to the cloud storage company.

Sure but this looks like Microsoft complying with sanctions. I was unaware sanctions were applied to the ICC, which is complete nonsense.

Yeah it’s arguable that Steam is a monopoly but somehow billion dollar publishers can’t create a store to sell their own products without fucking it up with annoying bullshit. Pay the 30% to protect you from yourselves.

Google has been kicking the can on ending third party cookie support for years. Chrome has such a large market share that whatever they decide to do has a huge impact on the ability to monetize content with ads.

There’s no clear direct replacement for identifying users for ad targeting outside of 3pty cookies. Lots of competing ‘privacy preserving frameworks’ but they all need buy in from many players at scale to be effective.

Pretty sure you refer to this case Christopher Dorner

Yeah I distinctly remember N64 games being $60 in the late 90s. We saved a lot with digital downloads vs retail over the years but it is funny that games have largely been level in price for 30 years at this point.

This tracks. Signal claims to have your phone number and logs on the last time that number accessed the service.

They could not generate new access codes via Twilio when certain patterns are detected and still be within that known data.

Went down the hole, part of it soon to become a Microsoft data center. Makes sense when you have access to a shit ton of fresh water.

Chinese and Americans memeing together might just end the trade war.
