You know the system before timezones was way worse, right? Every town had their own time.

Both Rabbit R1 users should be concerned.

You're infantalizing people by assuming everyone who doesn't know how the internet works lacks critical thinking skills. Do you ever interact with non nerdy people? Additionally, some people do genuinely lack the capacity to understand how systems like the internet work, are we supposed to just let them get taken advantage of or exclude them from society?

I'm ignoring your last sentence because its entirely irrelevant to the situation, the data that Google was collecting from people using incognito mode is not data that they needed to make their services work.

I understand how the internet works but you apparently don't understand how people work. Normal people have absolutely no concept of how the internet works, they don't understand what data servers need about them to function, or what a packet is. They need to be explicitly told that even though they're using a privacy mode Google is still collecting data on them, especially since they're collecting data even if you are not going to google hosted sites.

I'm seeing a lot of people make arguments like this and I just don't get it. Is your point that its okay for tech companies to prey on the ignorance of nontechnical users? We can't expect everyone to know everything about every service they interact with.

Nowhere on that page does it say that the browser is still tracking them. The whole point of the lawsuit, which Google just settled, is that that verbage is not clear enough to nontechnical users that Google still knows what sites they're visiting. People don't know shit about computers, if they advertise a "privacy feature" that says their searches and history aren't being saved, they assume they're not being tracked. People absolutely should have a basic understanding of data privacy but that doesn't mean it's okay to take advantage of those who don't.

Its not YouTube, but Dropout.tv probably has the best "TV style" gameshow content.

I thought reddit gold was the paid account. I haven't heard of these coins either.

As someone who mostly left behind a 13 y/o reddit account with a ton karma when the api nonsense happened, the fuck is reddit premium?

The only person expressing any anger is you getting upset that other people don't like a meme that you also don't like. Edgey atheism is a phase most young people who leave religion go through and grow out of.

Do you genuinely think this is a good meme?
