Nah it was really sad. Aubrey Plaza had the brand that she was this independent and couldn’t give a fuck progressive chick. And then she did a milk propaganda campaign and her reputation took a hard dive.
Look, I get everyone needs to get paid. But it’s not like milk needed another spokesperson. This was on the same level as Terry Crews doing an Amazon commercial on the heels of them denying unionization at a warehouse.
I lost a lot of respect for her after this commercial.
- Comment on I love being the executive assistant who was brought on as the eye-candy personality hire 3 days ago:
I hate when companies do this at conventions.
A few times I approached a booth because I heard some good things about them. More often than not it’s an attractive woman who stands there all bubbly to attract engineers. I ask technical questions about the product because I assume that this person wearing the company’s shirt that they actually know something. But then they shepard me to toward the technical staff who are exactly who you expect them to be.
One time this happened I asked them why they aren’t at the front talking to people and they said their managers wanted someone who could pull people in. I figured out then that the eye candy weren’t even employees at the company.

OF, like anything connected with capitalism, suffers from the same motivation: extract as much value for as little effort as possible.
Unless the model is truly, 100% wanting the life associated with OF (they exist but are rare), they gonna capitalism.
I have made friends with a handful of OF models (met them completely outside OF and found out that’s what they do) and they hate the grind but they have to. Their competition is every other model and porn site so they have to be personal.

Honestly, it’s probably one of the few industries where men are paid less than women.
I looked into the porn industry during the pandemic and it’s wild, pun intended. Some companies are legit and super concerned about consent and paying people well but others are not (i.e. girlsdoporn). Some production companies are super progressive while others are normal capitalistic ventures with shitty values.
Even individual models (e.g. onlyfans models) can be deceiving. Some are “real” in the sense it’s the real model interacting with you while others hire third-world companies to manage their sites. (Aside: be careful not to form parasocial relationships with OF models.)

What I’m saying is that the show would have evolved to do more ads.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 2 weeks ago:
The level of risk Hollywood is willing to take on today is very low due to streaming. There is more competition for people’s attention and money.
They would rather take an IP that they know is popular than to take a risk on something unknown.

If the modern Internet has taught me anything, anything can be sponsored and embedded.
Much like today’s jail sponsor NordVPN. Ever feel like you can’t access anything because of where you live? That’s because some sites lock you in. With NordVPN, you can experience the internet the way it was meant to be by forwarding your connection to anywhere in the world. Use code ‘TRUMAN26’ for the first month free.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 4 weeks ago:
If the goal is to reduce speeding, road design plays more of a factor more than cameras.
A fine means that it’s a revenue grab.

I know nothing about mobile OS development. How realistic is it at this point for someone to fork Android?
I know that software like Edge and Iron Fox can be forked and worked on by independent people. But Android is developed to integrate tightly with proprietary hardware.

Oh this shit is still going on. There were people in the late 90s early 00s that were counting down the days when the Olsen twins would turn 18.
Would not surprise me one bit if there are websites dedicated other child celebrities.

- Comment on Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off 3 months ago:
Mozilla are using a similar model to Microsoft and open sourcing Firefox code under the MPL while distributing the executable under a new Terms of Service.
Firefox (the executable) is no longer considered FOSS since they can revoke your license at anytime. I posted a comment that details my personal view of this change.
TL;DR: they would have only done this if they planned on farming user data. And last month announced that they intend to do just that.
- Comment on Firefox is adding a switch to turn AI features off 3 months ago:
I’m okay with Opt-Out so long as it’s clearly marked.
I shouldn’t have to go into the config or click through 7 layers of UI just to opt out.
That said, this is a reminder that Firefox is no longer open source. It’s source available and you should use Waterfox or LibreWolf if you want a browser based on Firefox but without AI out of the box.
