What the fuck are you talking about?

I haven’t and likely can’t think of a good solution to handling the scenarios you’re talking about. They are good questions that someone smarter than me should address. However, to use those scenarios to completely admonish advertising platforms for blatantly obvious scams is asinine. “Well, what if a legitimate business starts scamming people?” should have little relevancy to the question of “Should we accept this ad from a user advertising that they’re going to double your money if you give them access to your financial accounts?”

I’m not saying it’s simple or quick to solve, but there is very obvious low-hanging fruit that could be dealt with but is somehow not because these platforms aren’t held accountable whatsoever. It has to start somewhere.

Uhhh maybe they should find the time to do that then? How is “we don’t have the time” a valid excuse? Either hire more staff to do so, or sell fewer ads.

Oh yeah. Marlboro Reds and black coffee got me through some rough fucking mornings in my early 20s.

It makes food taste like shit and by extension you want to eat less. At least, that was my experience with smoking for years. When I quit I gained like 40 lbs.

Tolon is an absolute shining gem of food in Fort Wayne and I’m thoroughly amused seeing it mentioned here. I’ve never had the burger but the duck fat frites are always great.

Classic over explaining to cover up a lie.

I never send anything other than “I’ll be out of the office today” for every PTO notice.

Your passive-aggressiveness is very off-putting.

With that being said, it’s not FREE to use if I’m getting ads, I’m just paying with something other than money. I’ll continue to use one of the many alternatives.

The Sync dev is currently charging $20 USD to remove ads, or $100 for a lifetime subscription to “Ultra” which includes some additional features. I have to say, the app is really nice, but the dev is out of his mind.

If the mods want to switch their name to something else, do it, but don’t hold the current community hostage. Go make a new community and hand this one over to someone who wants it.

Part of the joke is the fact that it’s so over-the-top. All the suggestions I’ve seen for possible replacements have been terrible.

Oh hell no. Permanently drunk it is.

Don’t worry, I’m working on a solution to this. My proposed Lemmy client will auto-inject ads into your feed so you can really recreate the Reddit experience.

The quality of programming-related content on Reddit is absolutely terrible. The major lanuage-related subreddits are almost nothing but people self-promoting their latest Medium blogspam or thousands of people patting someone on the back for sharing their first “Hello world” program. Anyone going there for any sort of advice surely didn’t gain any sort of productivity boost.
