Do normal people mute the ads or just let the television keep going?
  • For the few cases I watch live TV over the antenna, I will either lower the volume or leave it be. Muting to silence is usually too jarring but the same could be said about the ad itself

  • Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory
  • Years of GOP meddling with education, which is only gonna nose dive when dept of education gets dismantled

  • Bravo, I had been just thinking about getting some of these made up

  • What's something unique that you carry on you every day?
  • I keep ear plugs in my zip pouch wallet so I'm always ready for any concerts or random loud areas.

  • Biden Slams Trump: "The Only Garbage I See Floating Out There Is His Supporters"
  • I wouldn't say it cost any votes, but it seemed to rile them up more

  • Trump called Putin 7 times since leaving office in violation of Logan Act
  • Also Bob Woodward likes book sales over country

  • Google working on RCS encryption between Android and iPhone
  • The main benefit is if a video gets sent cross platform, it doesn't get compressed to 2005 potato cam

  • Google working on RCS encryption between Android and iPhone
  • It rolled out today for me and 2 friends. 1 iPhone and 2 pixels. usability wise it is nice

  • Nikki Haley in Taiwan says an isolationist policy is not healthy, while expressing support for Trump
  • While I agree with you, the party has some hard reckoning coming up when Trumps gone. No one can fill his shoes. They're going to have to pivot somewhere

  • Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?
  • All it takes is some API calls and some simple python scripting and you could data mine a person. Maybe they subconsciously only upvote LGBT posts. Maybe they downvote leftwing posts.

    Then, oops, one day they post something that can doxx them and now they're getting targeted ads or worst case a stalker or someone who wants to get them fired/thrown in jail.

    Now imagine a machine learning algorithm or AI has done all the data mining and it took just a couple days to work through all users on lemmy.world.

    If there's any data that could be used to make money someone will eventually try it.

  • What the fuck happened to YouTube!?
  • That one is a Olympic copyright issue. Either NBC since they pay so much for the rights or the IOC flag videos immediately so all your left with is low quality videos.

    It genuinely ruins trying to find Olympics content if NBC doesn't cover that specific event

  • It's probably a McKinsey playbook getting passed around

  • McDonald’s earnings, revenue miss estimates as consumer pullback worsens
  • McDonald's is on the boycott list for the Palestinian genocide. I'm really curious if that had any effect.

    I would think it's not that much inside the US but McDonald's has a large global presence.

  • DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again
  • If you know plex it's the same thing just open source.

    But they are just video player front ends for your media libray

  • Holy voting choices!
  • 2020 yes, 2024 no. Biden had small time candidates against him in the primaries (Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, RFK).

    The consensus in the DNC was for no major candidates to challenge him as it may shake his standing. It's tradition to not primary against an incumbent.

  • Automation
  • I wonder if it's actually interpreting the bookshelf or if having such a busy background is taking a toll on the compression. That would alter the details on the person's face

  • Black Friday Nerd Pilgrimage rule
