Can confirm. I used to answer the calls to waste their time, ask them to hold while I go take a shit etc. I started to get more calls after doing this, until about a week in when the scammer told me to fuck off and stop wasting his time! After that, not so many calls.

Damn kids, always doing selfies and wow-face thumbnails!

Call me a grumpy old man but I’m not sure this is significant beyond “young people play (video) games”. The report seems to show little difference in % of adults gaming between 2004 and 2024

Looking for option 3: Accept and spam the tracking endpoint with randomised data every 15ms

I think there’ll be massive differences in volume depending on culture, location & genre.

Ranked loudest to quietest, from my most memorable gigs: Metal/emo, punk, rock, ska, soca, hip-hop, reggae, jazz, folk. Never been to a jazz venue and thought it was too loud!

The counter argument is that you get to decide where you stand, close and damagingly loud, or safe and far away, or anywhere in between. Except for the last one I went to, in a tiny basement (max 15 people) blasting metal inches away from my face

Peak culture burn 10/10

Confirmation bias: all the shite furniture from 1800s has rotted to dust already

Edit for full disclosure: I’ve exclusively bought antique furniture. I’m basically a shill for big-auction

Maybe some legal framework that would force any derivative work made from the content to be free & open source?
