Is Reddit in/directly attacking lemmy instances with controversial AI posts to overpower mods and reduce user experience? by paraphrand in c/[email protected]

People really have become a bit paranoid about bots. It’s sad what AI has done to assumptions.

I’m not sure how to articulate it, really.

Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption by paraphrand in c/[email protected]

I’m hopeful too. We need things like this to start moving in the opposite direction.

The internet and surveillance capitalism have allowed for hyper optimized psychological manipulation. It’s long past time for regulations to catch up.

Increasingly, the best parties are those where phones are absent.

The cameras 99% of adults carry in their pockets every day, and the powerful surveillance software those cameras connect to, make it easy for anyone to rip any moment -- even our most intimate, silly, goofy, terrible, embarrassing, or happy moments -- and put it online for all to see, stripped of its original context.

It was easy. I finally got some vinegar and filled it up and let the kettle sit overnight. Rinsed it and gave it a wipe with a wad of paper towel and the scale and residue from the scale is all gone.
