goes to stack overflow to steal some code

I wouldn’t have a problem with adverts if there was a guarantee of no malware, no phishing, no scams.

turbowafflz ,

Also if they were just less intrusive, a little static banner ad is fine

conorab ,

They cry about not being able to serve ads while serving ads that are straight malware and scams. It’s especially funny when a platform goes out of their way to censor (suppress ad revenue) on videos which have even a chance of being misinformation and then proceed to play back to back ads of somebody selling their get rich quick webinar.

frankgrimeszz ,

On YouTube, AI Musk has been telling me every other day about some amazing get rich quick scheme. I report it and days later YouTube emails me saying “Our investigation concluded that this is not a scam or spam”. As if.

Sekoia ,

The best part is that more ethical ads are harder to block, because trackers are one of the easiest ways to identify ads.

Hell, the adblocker I use (adnauseam) doesn’t block ethical ads by default.

What are ethical ads?

Sekoia ,

In general: non-intrusive, non-tracking ads, with robust verification (i.e. not scams or lies), such as the ones you find on modrinth.com, or duckduckgo

With adnauseam: github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-e…

I just visited Modrinth and yeah, the ads even match the theme of the website!

I’d rather choose my own poison than having them shoved in my face with auto play audio when I’m looking for porns. Thank you.

Fair point.

Though counterpoint: if someone is willing to spend $3000+ on an apple computer and cool swag. The ads already worked.

However, if the Q/A on your product is so bad, that someone who spends $3000+ would rather install an ad-block to get rid of that experience, maybe the quality assurance on those ads or products aren't as good as people think.

i think its just them trying to turn something that works up to 11

internet ads used to be more tolerable for a brief window there, after the popup craze died and before whatever the fuck we have now

Thank you I tried to follow the formatting as close as I could. Happy Friday

CoggyMcFee , to memes in Yes, but

If that dude’s outfit was animated and played noise, and the guy jumped in front of whatever I was looking at and wouldn’t go away, and sometimes he put random shit in my pockets or got me sick, then I’d hate that guy just as much as internet ads

variants ,

If I was paid to wear a logo then sure but to spend money on a shirt of a logo seems weird to me.

UnfortunateShort , to programmer_humor in there is no need

Every time I take a look at collections of user created themes for anything, I am reminded why design is a profession.

Not trying to shame anyone, I’ve been an enjoyer of custom themes ever since I started using Linux, but you need to have at the very least a little contrast in your theme. That’s kinda where this conversation begins :D

isVeryLoud ,

User themes having poor contrast and inconsistencies is why I stick to stock themes, made by UX/UI designers who work directly with the developers.

  1. She asked for “I’m sorry” and the program would print " I am sorry" (if it actually worked lol)

  1. Its Java and this is a personal project. Might as well say, “loving you is like developing an api for an insurance company. I can’t bear to touch you without two drinks and a subscription to jetbrains” This is how relationships end up on the garbage heap.
TheFonz , to books in My review of “Orientalism” (1978) by Edward W. Said

Thanks for this review. This book was brought up a lot in some of the literature I followed for a while. However, I never bothered to open it.

EunieIsTheBus , to programmerhumor in Hilarious

Point four was the first thing I immediately noticed.

@solivine@sopuli.xyz avatar

Technically 102 if you include the one already said

EunieIsTheBus ,

No, they explicitely demanded the 100 times after the say-i-am-sorry-once-routine terminated

solivine ,
@solivine@sopuli.xyz avatar

It wasn’t explicit! What if the amount of sorries is stored in a global state? She didn’t necessarily specify 100 more sorries. Women so confusing smh.

ibasaw ,

forever scarred by OBO errors… I noticed that too

I’m not familiar with this work, but it seems like a fascinating topic and still as relevant today as it was back then. Thanks for the summary/review.
