A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you think ads don’t work on you, just remember that Facebook makes $207 per year per user (feddit.de)

My usage of the word “ads” includes manipulating the timeline to serve you misinformation or information any paying entity wants you to believe.

So, in fact, this is a) not my definition of ads 'working' when I know this is happening and do not believe anything I reas on manipulative social media, and b) I don't even use facebook, so ads do not work on me.

@Erik@social.uden.ai isn't it pretentious, thinking that everyone is like everyone else?
