Surprised how well this advert is working till this day.
@Mojeek "The companies also provide income to millions of non-employees, including Airbnb hosts, Instagram influencers, eBay sellers, and Uber and Lyft drivers. If we constrict their fuel ā data ā we may hurt not only the quality, cost and speed of their services, but also the drivers of growth for the worldās economy. "

Why We Should Stop Fetishizing Workplace Safety
Big mining companies create jobs, encourage innovation, and provide valuable resources. Why would we want to break them up by restricting child labor in coal mines?
@Mojeek We need to be naming and shaming the authors of propaganda. In this case it's Heidi Messer, a marketing CEO whose business model very much does depend on us giving up our privacy.
Once again, shame on the NYT for platfoming such trash, but that's kind of what they exist for in this moment

@pistach1o contextual ads (such as duckduckgo) are not user data sinks and we make our money off our api
Other models exist

TIL Corey Hart's Sunglasses At Night was released in 1984.
@Mojeek Kudos for the well-written alt text that includes an explanation of how the glasses work so that even people who haven't seen the movie can still understand the meaning of the meme!
(I *have* seen it... but I'm way overdue for a rewatch!)
@kagan off the back of the love this got I'm going to be doing my annual rewatch earlier than normal! Might be two in a year this time round
Also thanks a bundle for the alt text comment (if it encourages watches or rewatches then it's a bonus on top of helping those who need the ALT)
@Mojeek At least the aliens in They Live wanted people to have 8 hours of leisure a day and only 40 hour work weeks.
That's right. The alien invaders/overlords from The Live? Better for the average worker than the Republican party.
Also they approved of sex work.
