Annoying Trends

[Lizard King]

If you a smartphone, it's worse. For example, if a person mentions Walmart during phone call, then Walmart ads appear on browser or Youtube commercials.

So are you saying that they are listening to your phone calls and what you are saying? I mean it wouldn't surprise me but has it gone this far? And who is listening a computer or a real person and is this even legal?

Corporate people always lying.
Everyone in the automotive industry lying all the time…

Your phone,laptop and probably anything "smart" is always listening. Speech-To-Text programs take less than 1Mb of space and dont consume any noticeable power. Like Windows operating system periodicly uploads all your telemetry to Windows corporation and it has been like this since Win95.It is all spyware these days."Personalised Ad's" have been around quite a while.

Like i went unshaven for some days and started getting electric razor ads.Clearly A.I noticed the difference in my facial scan or something when it managed to see my face ...

I think in china it is open knowledge that CCP is constantly using peoples cam and mic to spy on them to keep them in order. We largely choose to ignore it that we are surrounded by spyware because the data is mostly used to sell us crap and mold our minds in certain direction.

is this even legal?

Before 9/11 the police,FBI etc would have needed courts permission to spy on someone.After 9/11 whole lot of laws got removed and added that made spying on people more relaxed. Then the fake "Anonymous" came around or well,the real hackers got arrested and were replaced with FBI who hacked all kinds of corporations and started "Occupy Wall Street" etc which helped them again to change,add and remove all kinds of laws.
Whats the situation now,i have no effin clue lol.Seems every App can spy on you these days ,which they probably do.
Some OK documentaries on these subjects >
First one got some annoying hardcoded subs,didnt find any other version so this one will have to do lol.

"The Hacker Wars takes you to the front lines of the high-stakes battle over the fate of the Internet, freedom and privacy. The Hacker Wars tells the tales of the anarchic troll provocateur Andrew “weev” Aurenheimer, prodigy hacker hero Jeremy Hammond, and incendiary watchdog journalist Barrett Brown — three larger than life characters whose separate quests to expose the secrets of empire hurled them into a fateful collision course with shadowy corporations, the FBI, and ultimate betrayal by one of their own.

Thanks for the info it's worse than I thought.

Yes. I've tested it with a smartphone. It listens to everyday conversations in person too. I mentioned the word whopper, then Burger King ads pop out.

I always knew all every electronics appareils possibles (computer, phone, tablet, etc the rest I’m forgetting you’ll name it because I don’t know of it/don’t own it) we’re spying on us, listening on our conversations, that’s honestly we’re even not so much of a new scoop, because back in the day, my mom or dad told me to not swear too much on phone and say vulgarities because otherwise the personne registering the conversation working at phone -network whatever would hear me, lol! But it was actually considered normal and kinda for our security, a normalcy, you see?

kinda normal when you know phones were used to potentially have harmful conversation between people, so…

But reading this new and seeing just how far this is going is just revolting every time I re read this very same new is very REVOLTING! Uuurgh! Like it’s not just for our security anymore or for justice/police to do it’s work anymore, it’s just purely spying and high voyeurism for the sake of fetishism just like how moderns humans have developed a huge voyeurism to see people secrete sex life, so….乁(ツ)ㄏ

Revolting and yet, not so much surprised ‍ but still revolting!

I'm VERY hesitant to say this, because y'all might accuse me of being some kind of disinformationist or bot, but im gonna go ahead and say it anyway...

I don't know what we at my household are doing wrong (right?) but i havent seen any signs of the tech spying on me and giving me relevant ads. In general the ads i get are completely random and not relevant at all. My husband says the same for the most part.

Some things we do that may be the possible reason:

-on my cell phone i am not signed on to a google account, and i dont have any downloaded aps. I dont have an email linked to the phone.

- we dont have a smart tv or smart anything in our home (except the phones unfortunately). Our tvs are not actual tvs, but a "digital display" the kind they use in stores to advertise menus and stuff, supposedly those dont come with the spy equipment

- i never use google to search anything, i do use youtube search, dont follow any channels or like any videos

-never had a facebook or twitter account

- never used zoom

But other than that i don't cover the camera of my phone or anything.

Im curious if all of the above apply to anyone and youre still getting targeted ads.

This morning I went into my greenhouse to check on my tomato seedlings. I did not have my mobile phone or tablet with me. I have not done any recent searches on tomatoes. I did a while back on my laptop but I always cookie clean it regularly.
Afterwards I opened my tablet's browser and suggested topic for reading was on growing tomatoes.
It does make me wonder what is going on....

Eye in the sky > Sparton Cosmic Eye TV Show Piece of your home. One of the first TV ad line is "an eye in the sky" - "show piece(s) of your home" . They also said they were black magic and a passport to an enchant evening. Here is a thread I made about it.

When I was laid up for a year or so (broken hip two years ago) I got very acquainted with the massive telefrauds that at one point were ringing the phone (I only have land line) literally several times an hour. Constant. Everything from "can I buy your house??" to policeman's ball to fireman retirement scam to Nigerian money princess scam.

I got a kick out of trying various "countermeasures"--my favorite became the Biblethumper routine. When the phone rang and the TV display showed it to be the ever "unavailable" ID (which indicates scammer caller) I would answer with a sweet "Hello?" (which triggers their auto-dialer to a live operator to work their scam) and then when THEY finally arrived on the line, i would enthusiastically interrupt their spiel with a heartfelt "Thank you for calling Biblephone Ministries! How may we pray for you today????!!!!!!"

But the legislation that was passed a few months ago that put the Big Goof out of business (the guy that was masterminding 90% of spam calls, I forget his name) put an end to my soul saving business of Biblephone and now my phone rarely gets a spam call. When it does, I now answer with an enthusiastic "BUENO!!!!" which seems to trigger automatic hang up (they have trouble speaking Spanish, it seems) or I just waste their phone line time by triggering their autodialer and just waiting for them to exhaust their patience and they eventually hang up.

Then I go back to watching the Fatties on TV or playing the Chess cheater machine.

Interesting paper. Yeah, we kind of forgot how actually incredible television was of an invention because of all the news other stuff electronics wise we’ve been pampered down upon.

People wearing pajamas in public. Since the pandemic, more people are guilty of this. Wear decent clothes please, even it's an old pair of jeans and shirt. It's worse that public schools in the US allows this.

Tiktok

 

[clambot]

Giggling idiots.

These seem to be prominent on these "tik tok" videos, and are usually cackling uncontrollably at the misfortunes of others (who they have "caught" unawares on their video devices) ... not just people, but animals. Cat misses its jump and lands awkwardly? BY ALL MEANS laugh like a lunatic!!!

The people who call themselves "frauditors" seem to also be fond of the idiot giggle: usually when they sense a "GOTCHA!!" moment set up by one of their inane questions (usually when a policeman looks at them, puzzled by their behavior.) The eccentrics known as "Sovereign Citizens" sometimes have their idiot giggle, but I've noticed those are more prone to the "quondam lawyer" righteousness.

The handheld televisions that double as telephones have reduced the populace' IQ by a good 30 or more points, it seems.

 

[Seekeroftruth55]

People catering directly to stereotypes and fitting themselves into tiny little boxes instead of trying to be themselves.
Wonder if this has already been said, just such an annoying thing lol

 

[polymoog]

short documentaries or video clips featuring the 'stranger things' music score in the background.
