Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

And not even a fucking "don't show again" option. Either "call" or "remind me later". So there is no escape. Either take the ad in the ass or it'll show up again. Fuck that

Do you think Stellantis understands consent?

There is an X in the corner at least

[–] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The X is for the syncing phone book notification... It's not on the notice itself.

Oh you’re right, lol.

That's the other "Remind me later" button

[–] zlatko@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but I like the "two weeks" one better, it waits at least four days until the next popup. The other one, the lil X, waits like four minutes

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure that X is as good as clicking "remind me later".
