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?
Only if a log of the ins and outs goes directly to Bill Gates's desk.
Only because they haven't figured out a way to do that yet
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.
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.
I don't think this is inherently a problem, if the data is anonymized.
Yep, microsoft clarity is pretty useful, if you don't wanna be tracked, just use an adblocker.
Aww 😞
