Yes, Android. Why?

Don’t be naïve. As long as greed is enabled in our society this or worse would’ve always been the outcome. Or do you think other companies would’ve slept on the opportunity?

Nice strawmen you got there. Where the fuck did you see me defend a billionaire?!

I am just being realistic here. Our current society enables greed and greed would’ve always led to this situation or worse. We need to change the system fundamentally to change that.

Yea, right. It would’ve been another platform to capitalize on the internet becoming more available and digital distribution becoming viable.

You mean like a Menu?

Why? I am not living in the us but it’s a useful phrase.

That website really is infected with advertisement cancer

Bullshit. I’ve read books with obvious ads in them.

That was something that gets discussed now and then in politics but no. We have a lot of ads targeted to children.

Where?

Some sort of super community that are searchable (i.e. not something Clientside) and span multiple servers. The fragmentation of having the same few communities everywhere is my biggest issue here.

In general I want more and better discoverability of communities anywhere.

Wasn’t the iris something the military built after relocating the gate? If so maybe it was never found before. I mean it is in Ohio…

It can be rotated, no? Doesn’t seem to be in a working state right now.

That’s an interesting title. Bad things can happen to someone if that someone does something bad…

Welcome to the tautology club.

And it is amazing! Especially further north in like -20°C

Like any cat, Linux is actually liquid and can flow over the whole sofa if it so chooses.

It could be a good product. I neither hate it nor like it.

I personally know someone in advertisement and viral marketing is more widespread than I think people realize. That is why I would like people to be sceptical about stuff that gets recommended with this kind of frequency (and IMHO with text in a tone that I’ve read in actual viral marketing campaigns) especially if the product is commercial.

This method of advertising is used because it works and as you can see by the backlash here merely suggesting that it could be an ad and asking people to be sceptical/cautious is taken as breaking a social taboo.

My intention is not to personally attack you just to get that out of the way. That is why I prefaced my statement with the tinfoil hat part.

I don’t know if the company can afford that. I did not look into it enough but I know that viral marketing is not a very expensive marketing strategy and I hate it.

I can speak only on my experience here on Lemmy where I hear it mentioned with a rather high frequency and in ways that suggest to me that it could be an advert.

I will not apologize for being sceptical when it comes to commercial product recommendations and I suggest everybody do the same as viral marketing is extremely widespread in the modern net.

Is this a real thing? If so is it meat based? Don’t ask me why I know this but in SpongeBob lore the Krabby Patty is actually plant based.

Ok I need to put my tinfoil hat on for a moment but I think there is some viral marketing going on for it on Lemmy. The frequency I see it recommended or mentioned and the unorganic way it is brought up gives me advert vibes.
