  • Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025

    Jump

  • Copying my reply to someone else:

    What did they interrupt the episode for? Because a number of companies have adopted the policy that, if the interruption is promoting something else offered by the platform - say, a different program, or another tier of service - that those interruptions aren't really ads, because the company isn't actually getting paid to air it. It absolutely looks and acts like an ad to the viewers, but the companies are trying to redefine the word.

  • [When launched] Prime Video with ads was given a "very light ad load," providing subscribers “gentle entry into advertising that has exceeded customers expectations in terms of what the ad experience would be like." The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads doesn't show commercials in the middle of content. That could change next year.

    Planned enshittification a la boiling frogs.

  • Congratulations, Jim! You were always so much better than you were given credit for.

  • Judge overturns Georgia's 6-week abortion ban

    Jump

  • The judge's comments on the ruling are both savage and incredibly on point.

  • AOC doesn't want to be New York City mayor. Most likely, she has bigger plans

    Jump

  • I don't want her to be NYC mayor, either. I want her to be President!

  • Battleground states see waves of new voters sign up who could sway 2024 race

    Jump

  • .... Actual new voters, or voters who are re-registering because they were dumped off the voter rolls by Republican fuckery?

  • Do you donate money? How, why, why not?

    Jump

  • I've given money to both charities and people. Here's the thing about donating, though: you'll get on all sorts of mailing lists and shit, and you'll get lots more begging letters, emails, phone calls and texts. You know those PBS/NPR donation drives, where they're like "We just need ten more donors this hour, it doesn't matter how much!" or those charities that send you pre-printed labels and say "Hey, just send us five bucks, that's all we need"? Yeah, they're harvesting your information. If you even send them a penny, they'll be back for more, and they'll sell or trade your information to other charities.

    I give money to our local volunteer fire/ems department every year, but I don't use their pre-printed mailer; I hand them cash when Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny come through on their trucks. I have one of those pre-paid Visa gift cards that aren't tied to an actual person; if I do an online donation, I'll use that and give them fake information. The money is legit, the information is good enough to pass, but they can't come harass me for more.

    This includes all donations, by the way - political, religious, civic, charity, social, whatever. Do it in cash or by an anonymous Visa gift card.

  • Bernie Moreno says women are ‘single issue voters’ for abortion during Ohio town hall

    Jump

  • Ah, yes, another old white man who wants to control women. I am so sick of this shit.

  • 'Don’t Sleep on Florida’ Miami-Dade Democrats make the case that Florida is in play

  • They've also killed a bunch of old Republicans because of the anti-vax thing.

  • Trump hawks $100 commemorative coins in latest hunt for cash

    Jump

  • He doesn't. His base might, depends how much they have left. The people who definitely will are the Russians, Chinese and Saudis.

  • Harris accepts CNN debate invitation for October 23, again challenging Trump to another showdown

    Jump

  • Her campaign is going to goad him and his handlers are going to have problems keeping him in line. If he shows up to the debate, he's going to be rigidly locked down and determined to hit her on the economy and immigration, and she's going to do her best to needle him.

    What I absolutely loathe are the differing standards: to get people to vote for her, she has to be temperate, reasonable, persuasive, and have detailed plans that people agree with. While he just has to show up, word-salad rascist, and not drool too much.

  • Trump, Republicans bash Federal Reserve for slashing interest rates

    Jump

  • They should've cut the rates six months ago :(

  • Electric Boat Costs 40–50€ to Cross Baltic Sea, vs 750€ Refueling Gas Boat

    Jump

  • I like the idea of this match, but I'm cautious about the article. All they say about the gas-powered boat is that it's a similar size; they don't mention the actual type of boat the chase boat was, and I didn't see it in a brief skim of the video. I suspect that a notable percentage of the electric boat's efficiency is due to its being a hydrofoil. If the gas boat is the standard hull-in-the-water, it would naturally be less efficient.
