The first thing I install on a mobile device is “Hacker’s Keyboard” which adds cursor keys.

This is fucking garbage.

When a company gets caught with their hand in the cook jar, it’s not a punishment to put one of the cookies back.

Fines should be ten TIMES what the company made from their misbehaviour, not ten percent.

This isn’t a ‘painful day for tech titans.’

Corporations don’t feel pain. C*Os insulate themselves from it. They’re getting steadily richer, probably making more money than you’ll ever see in your life.

This is a good day for tech consumers. That should have been the headline.

Hey, that’s hardly fair. It’s also worth something to the scammer who printed and sold it. (Specifically, it’s worth $75 - material costs.)

No, but they need it to dynamically adjust pricing based on customer demographics.

I’m apparently one of the “power users” because I got the IPO investment invite.

In Canada.

I’m surprised nobody has discussed the most obvious “marketing” use of this data: Differential pricing.

Someone walks up to the machine. Based on the image seen by the machine, they determine which product is most likely to sell, and bump that product’s price up by a quarter or 50 cents.

If they’re not doing it now, they’re preparing to do it in the near future.

EDIT If you watch Invenda’s marketing videos, they talk about how the ‘optical sensor’ provides a ‘bespoke purchasing experience.’

Sounds exactly like dynamic pricing is their model.

I was on reddit since 2006, and left a year ago.

Lemmy pretty much sucks because of a lack of content. The communities are there, but they’re…sooooo quiet.

Join the communities you’re interested in and ENGAGE!

It makes Americans feel like they’ve contributed to the global gastronomy.

I have a handful of complaints about rap, abd I generally don’t enjoy it, but I no longer say it sucks outright.

Yesterday at work, I listened to Yes, SPELLLING, Black Sabbath, and the newest Martina Topley-Bird album. In the last few weeks I’ve bought albums by Brandi Carlisle and Talking Heads. The world is so full of great music.

Spellling (yes, spelled with three 'l’s) is good. Very good!

I know that there are “no stupid questions,” but this is an EXTREMELY not stupid question. On the contrary, it’s fascinating and non-intuitive.

Western Canada, and this is the brownest Christmas of my life (over half a century.)

Mom went into the hospital days two days we were supposed to come up. Spent much of the holidays around the smell of hospitals.

You have been the inspiration for my dirtiest fantasies and writing. There is nothing - NOTHING - I wouldn’t do to you.

…If you begged hard enough for it.

You’re here!

I had to leave reddit and twitter because they became to toxic, and I have MISSED you so much!

Suddenly, Lemmy feels like home.
