youre free to use it

wait, i have the permission of a youtube simp to install software on my own computer???

holy mother forking shirtballs

basically equivelent to piracy

can you coherently explain why you think this is right? please be sure to refer to the relevant legal texts.

I dont know a lot about linus except he invented linux, so I cant help but disrespect him

we have already seen this story in 2000: piracy

heres why this is important: in the current regime, we are the defenders and they are the attackers. Ie, they just need 1 exploit, we need to block all of them

in a piracy regime, the roles are flipped: we just need 1 exploit to get the data, they need teams of people to protect their shit.

Nobody wants to return to that, which I think is to our advantage wrt adblock.

I get what you’re saying, but I’m hoping I’m more right :)

i prefer the denizens of walmart to the karens of target, but to each their own.

(to be clear i live in sf bay, so target is the “poor trash” store, theres only 1 walmart in driving distance)

maaaad sus

Fuck off.

no u

militant

of the two of us, you are clearly militant.

I said (translating vernacular into meaning): In this thread complaining about ads, there is a free tool that solves this problem, but many people refuse to use it – why? are they stupid? you said: “I don’t find ads, presence or otherwise, to be meaningful in my life. Stop being militant about your adblocking ways”

ie, you are in zero ways the target audience for my comment, but instead come across as a super aggressive pro-ad-capitalism weirdo. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

jesus sus, man

it is genuinely possible op saw an ad, then they thought about it but forgot about the ad, then saw the ad again and frequency bias kicked in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion)

did they mean ‘apps’? sounds kinda similar

-realizing that the reason we still have this broken economic system on the internet is because of fuckers like this guy^^^^

you’re thinking of target, specifically telling dad that daughter is pregnant. its this store thats identical to walmart and sells the same stuff from the same sweatshops, but its kept slightly cleaner and so middle class people who want to feel better than the poors who shop at walmart shop there, but its basically the same store with a 20-30% markup.

Stop accepting ads in your life, ffs. What is it with people and steadfastly refusing to install an adblock? Are you stupid?

no, biden selected an actually decent anti-trust lawyer to head up the fcc. for all people hate on him, the president’s main power is in the institutions not the man, and biden selected some bad people and some good for institutions.

if you are into this stuff I’d suggest a read (even if you disagree). this is the guy who made the term ‘enshittification’ which has become (perhaps wrongly) popular during the txixxer meltdown.

also legal in america: forcing a 12 year old to carry her rapist’s child to term, and fining/imprisoning her if she even attempts to abort the result.

your sense of morality is compromised and I want nothing to do with you. please do not respond to me any further.

Look, you can complain about this all you want

cheers

what a twisted world view you have – even though it is literally impossible to know the law (its not even countable how many laws there are), you think its fine to record people’s every move while in public and try to fine them for arbitrary misbehaviors…and when that power is inevitably abused, your response is to also record yourself constantly? i sincerely hope you are nowhere near a position of authority.

you did

naw she just learned to drive in vermont

Again, if you can be seen in public you already are. Anyone is a witness to your crimes.

can you list out your crimes you committed today pls? We know you did, its impossible to have not. You might not know you did, but you did. We all saw it.
