What most people intuitively understand, though, is that public roads are expensive, not profitable and still a worthwhile investment.

It’s kinda baffling that the same isn’t intuitively understandable to everyone when it comes to public transport.

But that wouldn’t make for a catchy headline, would it?

The question is what did she consent to (as in, what was the thing she did expect that this checkbox created)?

“Cameo” doesn’t exactly evoke “allow people to create fetish porn with my face”.

If the button was labelled with that or some other more clear text, I don’t think there would have been a need for this article.

And that’s pretty much the point of this article: “Beware of corporate double-speek, this harmless word here means ‘allow fetish porn with your face’”, and that kind of warning article is not only important but pretty much essential in today’s world, where “autopilot” doesn’t mean that the car is fully self-driving, and where even “full self-driving” doesn’t mean “fully self-driving”.

And the only indication one has that words don’t mean what they mean is a multiple hundred page long terms of services full of legal jargon that most people can’t understand but that legally protect the corporation.

As Marc-Uwe Kling said: “Die Welt ist voll von Arschlöchern. Rechtlich abgesicherten Arschlöchern.”

“The world is full of assholes. Legally protected assholes.”

If someone expects content moderation or the other safeguards you have in large parts of the internet it might come as a surprise that a large platform allows fetish porn content to be made with “cameos”.

Tbh, the word itself is super vague and ambiguous and doesn’t reflect what it means in this context.

Calling a non-prostitute woman a prositute is quite offensive in most languages I would guess.

Offending someone’s mom (and by extension their heritage) might be anachronistic in some regions, but it really isn’t in others.

In a situation where someone doesn’t understand the implications and a corporation can make money of their misfortune. That pretty much describes most of social media.

I’d argue if something needs to be talked about in news/late night talk shows as a curiosity it’s not mainstream.

Today, streaming is totally mainstream and the concept is not something that would appear in news/late night talk shows unless there’s something specifically extrodninary (e.g. a death) that happens in the context of streaming. But the concept of streaming on its own is so commonplace, that it wouldn’t be talked about in TV.

Yeah, a lot of things existed way before they got mainstream.

Sure, clanker.

Try it out and you’ll see. Amazon seems to be doing great with it.

DevOps is not executing the automation, but designing it. DevOps is not manually spinning up pods but writing the automation that does so.
