    What is going on? I’ve now seen two of this exact joke on Lemmy but one is this picture and the other is a video of a different dude in a different car with a different ad in the windshield.

      My car keeps saying “time for a McDonald’s break!” and pulling into the drive-through. I’ve been here for five hours, please send help!

    I welcome the new age of edgyrunners. Hacking(mostly script kiddy stuff but still) and modding is getting really popular.

      They know this, and that’s why they wait to do things like this until they know you have relatively little choice.

      Not that you shouldn’t care, but it’s worth remembering the guiding hand of the market is not an all powerful weapon.

        I’ve got the Pay-Per-Roll™ formula, it’s cheaper because most people don’t actually roll that much so a sub with infinite rolling is a waste of money.

    I’m still trying to figure out how it’s legal to have massive advertisements lining roadways specifically designed to distract drivers.

      I think it was ford that submitted a patent for a camera that points forward, reads bilboards, then plays a video on your dash. I hate how shitty technology is being used all in the name of money and advertising.

      Well never reach any kind of utopian future where things just work and technology is used for good. It’s not about helping and feeding the needy, it’s all about satisfying the wealthy. It’s a disgusting timeline, literal rapists and genocidal maniacs running countries.

    And it’ll be the same four fucking ads, over and over and over!

    My freemium homies know what I’m talking about…
