  Yes but that’s not relevant to my comment nor the one I was replying to?

  Is that really how it works? I feel like the whole ad based economy is a sham anyway, I wouldn’t mind if it collapsed and we funded websites through micropayments or gift economy

  Firstly it hasn’t actually happened yet, I guess you fell for the misleading windowscentral headline. Secondly it’s not really kneecapped, but required them to rewrite, which the uBO author decided not to do (as a statement I guess). Other ad blockers however have made new MV3 compatible versions that are comparable to the MV2 ones, so it’s clearly possible. Also don’t forget there are other chromium browsers besides chrome, if you use Brave you don’t even need to install an ad blocker because it’s built in.

  Are you… raw dogging the internet without an ad blocker? You poor soul

  While that is true, it’s also true that if the algo has no data on you it just shows you what most other people want to see, which is usually boobs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone feel like an actual adult?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I do. It happened somewhere in my mid-late 30s. The two main contributing factors have been:

  1. Years of therapy so that I’m able to have my shit together
  2. Having a kid so I’ve got a reason to have my shit together

  Order of those two is very important!

  We’ve had guns for 200 years but not ones capable of mass shootings. Semiautomatics only became widely available more recently, and most countries have since banned them from casual use but not the USA

  Everyone who has kids or plans to have kids should go to therapy, it’s the only way to stop the cycle of trauma

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there a useful way for tech workers to express interest in a union?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A union is a good idea but this is also something you can and should take into your own hands too. If your wage hasn’t gone up at all in a couple years you should be complaining about that very loudly to your bosses individually. It helps even more if you can get some other job offers to be able to compare your current wage to
