The least I can hope is that at least the majority of people don't buy into the stupid facist bullshit that the ads and social media seem to push, but who knows. I enjoyed having a brief period of time after trump was gone that things might get better, but now I'm slowly ramping back up the paranoia to thinking that it's just a matter of time until another kristallnacht.

You also get their music streaming service with YouTube Premium, that's the thing that makes it worth paying for to me.

Cugel the Clever posted:I've also heard from Twitter that some of the mobile games advertised are "fake"? I don't get what exactly that means or why anyone would get so far as to discover that as the ads are aggressively "Look how loving stupid this game is!" 99% of the time when you see an advert for a puzzle game, the "game" being displayed in the ad is utterly unrelated to the game that's actually being sold. In most cases, the puzzle game shown in the advertisement just straight up does not exist; it's just some advertising company's mockup for a game. The process is: * Make a game that's not blatantly lovely -- doesn't have to be great, just good enough to sell on a mobile store and pass muster from Apple / Android App Store reviewers * Hire ad agencies to make a million ads, none of which have to do with the game at all * Use algorithmic audience targeting on Google/Facebook/etc. to randomly try a million ads, and fund the ones that bring in the most clicks * Your app gets a million downloads and shoots to the top of the app store, even if 99% of those downloads end up not buying anything because your game is nothing like what was advertised There's a Russian company called Playrix that's particularly famous for this -- they make a bunch of lovely match-3 Candy Crush clones, but advertise those games using those lovely ads for non-existent puzzle games about pulling out pins to release various fluids and get to treasure. (Some of which feature characters that are retraced Family Guy art.) And they're making _billions_ from it. e: Of course, part of it too is that people are astoundingly dumb, and will just randomly download stuff and click things for little bursts of dopamine. A few years ago, some bored devs wrote a bot to randomly generate slot machine games. They made a slot machine game in Unity with a bunch of placeholders for reel images, machine picture, etc. Then they wrote a bot would randomly pick a theme phrase and scrape Google/Bing for images with that phrase, and use them to fill in those placeholders. Another bot would compile the project to get an APK, fill out a form on Google Play Store, and upload it. So, this was literally bot-generated garbage (one of the generated apps was "3D Tremendous Face Pain Slots") and they were generating and uploading 15 of these a day. And people would actually download the trash, play it, and click the loving banner ads. ullerrm fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Mar 1, 2021 |

While the COVID CRISIS the DEMOCRATS decided to exploit is a tragedy, is it really worse than the FUTURE of OUR NATION and that our FREEDOMS OF SPEECH are being CANCELLED because you can't even call employees at a restaurant the N word and have it go viral without being CANCELED from your JOB?

In the wake of the GOP in Georgia getting owned at the federal level, their salty asses are gonna make it more annoying to vote with a new bill they've passedquote:-Limits Sunday voting to one optional Sunday in each county Even worse than the above, the GA Senate is pondering adding on to that list by restricting absentee voting to 65+, Disabled, or out of town, when it used to be you could just get one by filling out a thing online or sending in a request. https://www.ajc.com/politics/georgia-house-to-vote-on-election-restrictions-amid-staunch-opposition/46SNHMIYGZGMZDG5KLGHAB6NQ4/

When the gently caress is DeJoy going to get the boot? The USPS loving blows right now. I had a thing ship from Texas right as the winter storm hit. This is obviously going to cause delays. I get that. The thing disappears for 9 days. It was "In transit to the next facility" from the 14th until it appeared in Denver. Maybe they had a guy walk it there? I'm resending it to someone and there's a letter I want to include with it. I decide that it may just be lost and send them the letter last week. I mail it out Monday. The package shows up Wednesday. I ship it with UPS ground on Thursday. It arrives today. Before the loving letter I mailed a week ago. How??? e: This isn't the first time I've just had poo poo disappear for over a week when being shipped by USPS either. I flat out won't use them to ship anything any more. fknlo fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 2, 2021 |

Amazon parcels have priority in the postal system, so when there is any sort of problem all of the available throughput goes to the prime boxes.

fknlo posted:When the gently caress is DeJoy going to get the boot? My understanding is that it's in the Senate's hands right now for scheduling Biden's board picks. Biden's picks would shift the board to 5-4 Democrat, but in true democrats.txt fashion, one of those Democrats voted for DeJoy back in April, and some House Democrats are all like WE CAN CUT A DEAL TO FIX THINGS with DeJoy. So USPS is still hosed until summertime, probably.

fknlo posted:When the gently caress is DeJoy going to get the boot? A week ago on Monday, I found a package on top of our apartment's outside mailbox. A little strange, since they usually go inside the box or to individual entrances. It was addressed to a guy a quarter mile away on a different street. I was just going to walk it down, no muss no fuss, but it was a plastic bag from the VA hospital with what clearly felt like a pill bottle. I took a picture, dropped it off at the address, and made a complaint to USPS. I had a missed call from a local number the next day, no voicemail. The day after that, I got a survey link through my email asking how satisfied I was with the complaint resolution. The latest: "Awaiting Delivery Scan The delivery status of your item has not been updated as of February 21, 2021, 1:55 am. We apologize that it may arrive later than expected."
