Technology@lemmy.world•In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You MentionEnglish
1·2 years agoThey really need to name-and-shame beyond “Facebook Partner” considering we’re talking about fucking Cox Media Group.
Lots of poor people used Redbox.
At least poor people still have the public library.
For now.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Georgia Senator Vows to Protect Girl, But Then Runs Away After Learning She Is TransEnglish
1·3 years ago“I mean, yeah, I’m going to make sure she’s safe by going to the right bathroom,” continuing to use the correct pronouns for Aleix.
Gotta love that he doesn’t even realize he’s saying Aleix is a girl and girls should be using the girls’ bathroom.
Edit: I really want to know if the people downvoting me are anti-trans bigots or don’t understand that an anti-trans bigot accidentally took her side even after realizing she’s trans?

Technology@lemmy.world•In the Google antitrust trial, defaults are everything and nobody likes BingEnglish
0·3 years agoI really hate saying this because it pisses me off, but I primarily use DuckDuckGo, which is based on Bing, and I sometimes have to switch over to Google because the search isn’t as effective. Especially if I want to put something in quotes, which DuckDuckGo doesn’t even seem to recognize. Their image search is not as good either.
I don’t want to use Google at all. I hate that it’s still necessary sometimes for a decent search.
And yes, I realize that a lot of Google searches suck too. But I still shouldn’t have to ever go there. Especially not for something as simple as that.

1·3 years agoDoes Lemmy even need any more features? Can we please avoid feature bloat and don’t break what doesn’t need fixing?

1·3 years agoUsing autism as an insult. And the r-word. I’m sure I’ll see both, but I wish there were a corner of the internet free of mocking people with disabilities.
