I hate that you're right

How do you handle separation anxiety from leaving your cats for a long period of time? week to weeks in c/[email protected]

My friend got an interactive thingamajig. It's connected to Wi-Fi, it has a camera that moves, it has a toy hanging off the top that's connected to the camera, and it can dispense treats. It also has a microphone and a speaker, so you can talk to and hear the kitties. That seemed pretty neat

You actually believe that residue is from dirty hands? Seriously?

Nope. It's showing that you can press in the lever, likely to dispense windshield washing fluid

I highly doubt they adjust their wipers enough to leave a thick layer of skin and oil on it. Not sure what this is, but that ain't it

Super interesting and makes a lot of sense in retrospect.

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars (denvergazette.com)
 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm (lemmy.world)
 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

YouTube: 5 ads the norm now? (lemmy.world)

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.

Play Store Astroterfing (lemmy.world)
 

Has anyone else noticed that the Google Play store reviews are suspicious?

Like, you find a scam company or app, and every review you scroll through is 1 star. And yet the reviews claim 95%+ are positive.

Is there a way to prove it? I've noticed it for 3 years now, I no longer think it's a coincidence. Something scummy or scammy is going on
