Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program
  • The problem is not necessarily that the ads are personalized. The problem is, to make them personalized, companies have to collect personal data. This turns you into a product, because they can/will sell your info to other corporations.

  • I never said they were the be-all-end-all of distribution. This comic implies that banks somehow are responsible for providing money to people to buy housing. This is a way larger systemic issue. People should be paid enough to be able to purchase property.

  • What a terrible comic. It very much gives a "I just found out about communism" vibe. Without banks, you wouldn't even have the choice to get a loan to purchase a house or get starting capital for a business. And about the interest part, do you expect them to be a non profit? How will the banks pay their workers? I agree that the rates are too high, but come on, it's a service that you choose to make use of.

    Please... Please let me respec my fucking sleep points
  • I really want to sleep more than 5-6 hours per night, but I also really do not want to rely on GABAergics/benzos for sleep. Besides, doctors in my country will rarely prescribe them anyway.

    Tinder Now Letting Rizzless Sad Sacks Pay $500/Month to Message People Without Even Matching
  • $500 per month?? At that point just go to a prostitute a few times a month. The people paying for this are stupid, but on the other hand it's super sad that Tinder even made this subscription. They know some desperate people are going to subscribe.

    Polish Government Develops Test That Can Detect If Someone Took Abortion Pills
  • I was on vacation in Poland two years ago, so I know how religious they still are (especially compared to other European countries). As for the "traitor" thing, do you not feel it's betrayal when you treat your own citizens like this?

    Meshtastic - An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices
  • Not sure why you decided to ask that person the question like that, but when it comes to AI, LoRA stands for Low-Rank Adaptation. They are used to fine-tune models. Next time be a bit more polite.

    Capitalism Stockholm Syndrome
  • I understand that theory, but like I asked: How does that work in real life? Does there not have to be a governing body to ensure that everyone/every community adheres to the communist philosophy?

    Capitalism Stockholm Syndrome
  • Ugh, are all posts on this meme sub "Capitalism bad, Marx good. Uplemmies on the left"? We get it, capitalism is exploitative. Although, I am curious on how the communists on here envision a real communist government. Please share, I'm just curious.

    Stolen van Gogh painting worth millions recovered by Dutch art detective
  • I had never heard of an "art detective" before today, but that's the coolest job title I've ever heard. It sounds very Indiana Jones-ey. (And yes, I understand it's probably a lot of desk work)

  • It definitely works on me. I forget to subscribe all the time to people that I've watched a bunch of videos of. And I really don't mind the little reminder.
