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.

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.

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

Fortunately we have open source sex toys

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.

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?

[–] noodle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Just a simple lay-on vibrator. https://shop.bijouxindiscrets.com/media/attachment/file/t/w/twenty_one_technical_sheet.pdf

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.

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