That’s fair, we as a society are probably manipulated quite a lot. though I feel like law enforcement getting cases wrong is a somewhat separate issue from the “targeted ads” one. The alternative would be to use shittier evidence, potentially racism, or just let it go unsolved. I hate ads too and I block them so I don’t have to see them. I guess I’m tired that 1/3 of Lemmy posts seem to be about privacy/FOSS, I wish there was more variety like the R-site.

That was confounded because his mother’s ex boyfriend seemed to be the murderer and used his car. Am I the only person on Lemmy who DOESN’T obsess over privacy, demand FOSS, and refuse to use Windows? My mother doesn’t have a shady ex-boyfriend, and it seems like a pretty fair exchange otherwise to give up my data in exchange for great free services that generally work pretty well — it’s not like I could sell my data myself. Nor am I paying my own money to use them. I don’t feel like getting a worse experience for e.g. maps (saw another post about it) just for the sake of data that (for most intents and purposes) doesn’t affect me directly.

I guess it could sometimes be an unfortunate coincidence that you do something suspicious where a crime just occurred. But surely you’d be proven innocent after looking at other evidence.

If we aren’t committing any crimes, why should we care?

Why would you need an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?

Sadly one of the development diaries specifically said that train cargo stations will have a lot of traffic, so sadly I doubt it will be that different.

Well they did release the Plazas and Promenades DLC

Dang, guess I’ll have to upgrade my PC. Assuming I can’t get a GTX 750 TI to play it at 640x480 resolution.

I thought the whole point of the sequel was to be an actual game this time.

Sadly I’m on an iPhone, though I do have one on my desktop.

Because why would I read an article that’s probably riddled with ads, when I could read a quick unbiased fact in the headline (edit: and an image) and get expert commentary in the comments (that often builds upon or refutes the article anyways)?

Images are a lot lower resolution (and no “live” photos which are cute if your mom takes a pic of their pet bunny), you can’t add people to group chats or rename them, you can’t see if someone’s read or typed your message, you can’t “like” texts without them appearing like the above post, I think there are even sound bites, little games but I haven’t played with them.

How many earthquakes has Morocco had by now? Seems like every day they have a new earthquake that pops up on here, each one with more people dead than the last.

I thought Elon Musk was the founder of Tesla.
