It’s literally talking about the cookie blocker specifically though, not the adblocker itself
- Comment on Air quality in there isn't too good 11 months ago:
that’s the joke
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
We buy shows that last a few months
You might be, I’ve had my shoes for years now.
If you’re buying shitty shoes, that’s on you and you’re a part of the very problem you’re complaining about.
If you’re talking about we as in the people, do you think that somehow magically cutting marketing would get rid of shitty products? That’s not how it works, maybe garbage like Supreme wouldn’t exist but that’s just a tiny piece of the pie
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
I suggest you read my comment again.
I’m not saying that the world won’t change, just that there’s no point trying to push for something like straight up socialism.
Push for socialized healthcare, then push for more social housing etc.
By applying the pressure in one spot, you might actually be able to achieve anything instead of just screaming at a computer monitor all your life
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
The world is capitalist and it’s not changing anytime soon.
Meaning, whatever your ideology is, it’s a waste of your and everyone elses time.
Adapt it to reality and push for smaller changes, a big one ain’t happening.
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
Ah of course, the “everything I hear about is bad” bias.
There’s an insane amount of small businesses out there, have a look at your friendly government’s statostics.
You know how these small businesses start? Often by telling friends and family about them (marketing), posting ads on the local notice board (marketing), having a damn logo on the door (marketing).
People have to know you exist, else they can only come across your shop by mistake, and no way you’re surviving a week like that.
All of these places would fail without any sort of marketing. Concentrating the power into the hands of established players.
Whatever you stand for, it doesn’t work.
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
So you’re hating on the 3000 assholes who’ve already cornered the market and now you want a world where new companies possibly founded by someone no-as-assholish are doomed to stay unknown and fail?
People will keep choosing what they know, if you don’t allow new players to enter the market, these old massive conglomerates will keep on growing, keep on consuming the competition.
It’s a hyperbole, but only a small one.
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
What about a thing that would actually change your life for some reason?
Would you prefer not knowing about it?
Of course there’s no reason for the 76th brand of chicken sandwich, but that’s also not what I’m talking about at all.
Marketing itself is fine and a healthy tool for growth, showing ads into people’s eyeholes every chance you get is not.
- Comment on My ex wants me back 11 months ago:
There’s different types of marketing.
One type is awareness marketing, which is exactly the type that’s the furthest from “forcing shit down your throat”.
Then later, when you’re searching for something and see their name, your monkey brain will prefer the “familiar” option.
And tbh I do have to disagree with “people will come to you”, it’s really hard to grow if people don’t know you exist.

And thunderbolt/usb3/usb4 M.2 enclosures exist and are quite cheap if you don’t have a slot in the laptop.
- Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now 11 months ago:
It’s a hate on not only DRM, but all paid services pretty much

Nah hormones in food = poison. Any amount, even a molecule will absolutely destroy your every organ.

What’s disturbing about it?
- Comment on German train drivers' union votes for 'unlimited' strikes 11 months ago:
Same vibe as politicians voting to raise their own wave.
I’m not hating, they’ve got the right, it just feels kinda … redundant?
- Comment on Instances that didn't block facebooks- thread.net 11 months ago:
Yeah that’s the whole point.
Yes is something non standard, it’s a pushed opinion making something seem bad even though everyone should make their own opinion.
- Comment on Instances that didn't block facebooks- thread.net 11 months ago:
The standard is green for yes, red for no.
The dev chose to flip this, consciously.
For “willingly visiting the site”, you can apply that to anything on the internet, don’t see a point there.
- Comment on Instances that didn't block facebooks- thread.net 11 months ago:
It’s because the dev behind the website pushes his anti-threads agenda onto you.
Red means bad.

Actually, they will, a part at least
- Comment on Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free! 1 year ago:
You know what?
If you gave me a datadump and a docker image, I’d host it, for free.
Insane I know
- Comment on Exciting news! The free API you were using is no more free! 1 year ago:
Yeah again so why limit the amount
- Comment on SteamVR 2.0 beta adds tons of new features 1 year ago:
Pretty sure it’s supposed to launch together with HL3 👍
- Comment on Ministers set to ban single-use vapes in UK over child addiction fears 1 year ago:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Buying a “refillable” vape is sooo much better for you (you know specifically what you’re putting into your body), your wallet and the environment.
Just don’t buy a shit one and you’ll be fine
- Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car? 1 year ago:
Might be a lot more difficult (and probably impossible) with eSIM, which I really wouldn’t be surprised if they were using
- Comment on incredible 1 year ago:
I’d say it depends on the person. I’m sure there are some that would majorly change the course of history and then some that would get killed within an hour
- Comment on incredible 1 year ago:
It’s a loop - they didn’t use it right, so it sucked, which is why they didn’t try to make it better = they didn’t use it right.
With the right knowledge, they might’ve just made proper use of it
- Comment on incredible 1 year ago:
They might have had it, but they didn’t use it right
- Comment on How is former president of the US Donald Trump still free when a lot of the accomplices in things he has been indicted for are already in jail and or prison except him? 1 year ago:
You can be sentenced to time in jail, it’s usually for sentences shorter than a year.
afaik, anyway
