Recaptcha showing nine image squares. White text on a blue background at the top reads "Select all images with The Ooze. Click verify once there are none left". The nine images have been edited so that collectively they make up The Ooze from the box art to The Ooze.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

the Apple II mainboard is a little work of art

Open Apple II plus with the very orderly main board visible, plus a bunch of extension cards and the golden looking power supply

It was too hard for me but like a lot of games around that time, there's a SOMETHING there as they try to figure out how to do the same genres differently. It just always seems like the powerup systems are the first to be tinkered with in a bad way.

Barunba on the PC Engine has Namco take a new spin on the shoot-'em-up which is unfortunately undermined by the physical realities of playing with a PC Engine controller.

There's run on sentences and then there's this word SALAD (that will allow these words to pass the blood brain barrier)

Fall fashion catalogue 👢👢🍄

#art #cuteart #gouache

Two gouache illustrations shaped like postal stamps, side by side. The first one is a ghost wearing a triangular red hat and brown leather boots with high heels. The second one is a blushing amanita mushroom holding its hat, with „fashionable” written underneath

You take one step back and it is bizarre. You’d never see the press all lining up to report on blue light specials at Kmart

"Survival Kit for the Information Age."

Electronic organizers and early PDAs continue to be fascinating to me, and this is one of the more unusual hybrids: The debut OZ-7000 model, expandable via 'IC Cards', each with specific functions, memory storage, and touch-sensitive overlays.

A magazine ad for the OZ-7000 with its sleek folio type design and calculator style buttons and a small green LCD. IC cards flow to it to be slotted in.

Internet Services are great. They'll strip things away, add advertisements, cancel things you like, but then charge you ten dollars more, and put out a press release like it is a triumph for their customers, and we EXPECT them to at this point.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
