What’s he gonna do about it?

Sue them?

There’s chocolate in my peanut butter in my chocolate!

It’s not only the frequencies, but also the modulation and the protocol (“how devices talk to each other”). Your phone may support all needed frequencies and might still not be able to “talk” to the network.

Depends, I’m from Europe and there are many local sites that allow that. You might need to search for a bit (e.g. not a button but a link in some fine print). But yes, there are many sites that just don’t have a “decline all” button and that ask you to deny every one of their 937.726.193.372.129 partners (most of them double, as you need to deselect the partner and their “legitimate interests” separately…

Somewhat - some site just don’t set a consent cookie if you deny cookies. First, they didn’t set Cookies as you requested - second, they can easily ask again on your next page load!

Nah, it’s at least two clicks - the first in the cookie banner to decline all cookies and tracking (which won’t save that setting and ask again on every page load/click on the page as you might want to be tracked in two minutes) and another one to cancel.

Is it pronounced Rust-L-S or Rus-T-L-S?

And if the latter, why not Rusty-L-S?

Why don’t you pick up?

Because I said, I’m doing nothing?!

Yes and some do it constantly. Other have say two channels and just name them like “important stuff” and “really important stuff” and just mix ads in both.

There was a time, when the Amazon App complained every time you opened it (and every few pages of browsing) that not all notifications were allowed and constantly nagged you to turn them on, if you disabled any categories in the app or notification channels.

I’m not from the US, but where I live it’s either (or a combination of):

1. Your contract runs for two years. You can cancel it before, but still have to pay for the first two years. Often prices depend on which category of phone you want (say 20€/month for the service, 25€ with a “smart” phone, 30€ with a “premium” phone, 35€ with a “power” phone,…)
2. You have two separate contracts, one for your phone, one for the mobile service. In this case you might pay for your phone 24 months, or 36, or whatever you agreed on and you can cancel the mobile service independently (assuming it’s not also locked to 2 years)
3. Some carriers even allow you to only get a phone without a contract for the mobile service.
4. If you finance a phone with your carrier, they’re legally bound to tell you what you pay for your phone monthly and how much for the service - there are many ways around that, unfortunately…

In any case, you get an unlocked phone.

Heck, I’ve heard the argument “We’re in retail [or insert other fittig market segments here] and Amazon is a direct competitor. Why the heck should we give them any money or any data*?” several times from several companies.

(*Where data not necessarily only meant giving them “company data” but e.g. also metadata about usage, etc. which cannot be avoided and which might give Amazon some insights)

That’s why they use, what they know: Excel. I wonder if the UI was done in PowerPoint?

Since 5:45 we’re shflooding back!

Imagine sexting smelling like fish…

Randomly rearranging non working code one doesn’t understand… sometimes gets working code, sometimes doesn’t fix the bug, sometimes it won’t even compile anymore? Has no clue what the problem is and only solves it randomly by accident?

Sounds like the LLM is as capable as me /s

Technically correct, but back, when Reddit allowed 3rd party apps, I did get the occasional “Hey you lost something” comment, as some apps had a broken markdown rendered that wouldn’t display it without.

Also it can have side effects if you use an underscore in the same paragraph or use it twice in a row, as it then suddenly can render as italic.

¯\_(ツ)/¯ Not sure how Lemmy reacts, though ¯\_(ツ)/¯

Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections: shrug which yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use and shrugmd with the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the end it’s:

    shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
    shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ 

because it won’t let you do that:

elvith@testvm:~$ sudo rm -fr /

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on ‘/’

rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe

Easy: Just have him in a headlock and then hit right on target until you win. He didn’t think this through…
