My dumb ass didn't see the community & thought this was a sombrero spaceship ๐Ÿคฆ

Serious question: was this ceremonial only, or supposed to be used in battle? Seems like unfit for actual battle?

No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I'd click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I'd closer that sucker and move onto the next link.

Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).

Sure it doesn't affect you, but your data is an important statistic to train zuck's algorithm to keep the other rubes, and children, doom scrolling on that shit platform.

In fact, based on a whistleblower testimony zuck would probably sell your data to the CCP to gain access to their population.

I'm sure he'll find unpaid volunteers to carry his ass, that he'll sell out once they reach the bunker.

I think you meant "morale", but moral is so much better.

Putting aside the dystopian angle for a minute, if you knew your data is valuable, would it change your behavior? e.g. if you behaved exactly the same as the median, would your data be valuable to advertisers? They gain no new info from you. Would you behave erratically just to make your data more valuable?

This kind of makes the theft of personal data even more insidious, IMO. Your data is only valuable if you forgot you're being watched.
