To be clear: they're tracking the mouse on the website, not the real time movements of a dildo going in and out of an orifice

My disappointment is is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Might your day be improved by ... A dildo going in and out of an orifice?

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Only if a log of the ins and outs goes directly to Bill Gates's desk.

[-] lone_faerie 12 points 6 months ago

Only because they haven't figured out a way to do that yet

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Fortunately we have open source sex toys

That is fucking amazing (pun intended)

The day a dildo comes with WiFi and an integrated accelerometer. The vibration function is $7.99/month. For an extra $3.99/month, it extends three inches. I'm not sure why I joke about that, I'm sure it's already a thing.

Open source teledildonics are a thing.

[-] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Teledildonics is my new favorite word.

I knew sites used heat maps to see what people click on but I was surprised when our developers showed us actual video of users moving their mouse. I didn't know that was even a thing.

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 6 months ago

I don't think this is inherently a problem, if the data is anonymized.

[-] scarilog@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Yep, microsoft clarity is pretty useful, if you don't wanna be tracked, just use an adblocker.

[-] ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 months ago

Aww 😞

If you're scared about Microsoft tracking your UX engagement on a website, the best way to make sure your sex life stays private is to file it in federal court.

What in the world is that gold thing on the left?

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 30 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's not an insertable toy, it's just a novelty vibrator.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 9 points 6 months ago

It's not an insertable toy, it's just a novelty vibrator.

Hold my lube!

In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln: "Anything is an insertable toy of you're brave enough"

This doesn't have much to do with Microsoft. They simply used their software. Microsoft wasn't responsible at all for this. It was the websites

It seems the age of click bait has arrived at lemmy

[-] ssm@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Just block lemmy.world and you'll lose 90% of the r*ddit repost clickbait and USpol propaganda spam immediately. World needs to be given credit for being the containment instance so the rest of lemmy can be good.

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 3 points 6 months ago

I'm on beehaw. I think maybe that's already blocked πŸ˜‚

[-] Chakravanti@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Fuck lemmy dot world
