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.
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.
I actually have a story involving GirlVinyl. She had my best friend kicked out of DEFCON one year because he showed up and did meet-and-greets with some of the women from the porno he had made and was selling, which was themed around naked women teaching you to hack.
I feel kinda attacked by this but it’s 100% true. Anybody else just scrolling on their phone but putting nonsense on in the background for this exact reason?
Food gets weird when societies are running low on it. The UK loves plain canned beans in tomato sauce, which afaik came out of wartime necessity. Biscuits and gravy have a similar history with wartime necessity from the US revolutionary war. Some populations eat SPAM way more than others due to its wartime benefit as basic canned protein becoming a cultural tradition where US troops were stationed.
yeah but have you ever had UK spec canned beans? those things are really good. Ive been annoyed half my life those exact beans are produced in Canada and exported under contract to the UK, the store beans we get here are shit, and there’s actually a black market gets UK spec canned beans back to canada, where they were fucking made.
I have not, tbh I’m not a huge fan of beans in tomato sauce. But I now will add “international black market bean smuggler” to my list of outlandish careers that I would try if the barrier to entry wasn’t so high.
