I seem to see this “powered by Admiral” popup on lots of other websites.
Whatever this Admiral company tech is, it’s the only one that’s been able to detect my Ad blocking in a long time, has anyone been able to defeat it yet?
Ran into that a few days ago for the first time. I decided to disable for that site just to see how many ads and to see if the content was worth the effort.
First, it was a bunch of ads. Secondly, the content was good but not that good. I enabled and searched anew.
One of the positives of the AI ad page shitshow defining current search engines is that pirating written content has never been easier. In all likelihood, there’s a full site rip visible by simply searching for the contents of an article, recipe, book, whatever. Bonus, no ads.
Aside from being cringe, this I can very much understand. It’s not that the ad itself is so bad. It’s them being data hog and making shit unreadable to the point where literally there are sprinkles of useful(or not so much) information here and there. I can understand this kind of popups. Even the cheapest VPSs are not free. Can’t really blame if there’s a continue w/o disabling.
It depends on how well you get by and how widely drugs are available in your area. If I’m barely making ends meet, I don’t want to give the little I have left to someone who will likely spend it on drugs
Likely not in the same country as the person you asked but where I live, being homeless means you don’t want to go to the government and ask for housing/money. You get both. Those people who run around crowded areas do that as occupation, not because they’re starving.
It’s a very fine line. I try to help real homeless people, but there are literally scumbags that are professional panhandlers who will stand by the side of the road with a sign or come up to you with a sob story asking for money, only to get into their car that’s nicer than yours a few hours later and drive to their home that’s bigger than yours. I make horrible horrible pay at my job, there are plenty of these guys that have figured out how to be systematic about it and make 4x what I do from doing so.
