Nah pack my body and clothes with thermite.
100% agree.
I configure my editor to use 3 space characters per tab. I’ve worked with people who prefer tabs represented as 2 or 8 or just about any number. But I can look at the same code as them worth my preferred look.
Also works best for line length restrictions. A tab is a single character and always is.
You are a monster.
I wasn’t discounting anyone. I wasn’t even offering a solution. Simply an anecdote.
Well said.
I grew up playing soccer on a coed team. At a certain age you could be picked or tryout for a more advanced league. Up until highschool we were devided by skill not gender and I have no problem admitting there were more than a few girls that were much more skilled than I was.
And how much of that content was provided at a loss?
YouTube has always had ads. But less usage meant less cost. If 40% are using ad blockers, more ads will be shown to the 60%.
There is an unspoken agreement that if you consume you allow the ads. By using ad blockers, we’ve brought a lot of this on ourselves.
That being said, my views are very fantastical. Profit is the ultimate driver and very few (wiki who doesn’t even use ads) are only hoping to cover costs.
There needs to be a balance.
There is still a non zero cost associated with storing and streaming this content.
This is why we need consumer focused privacy laws. Within our lifetime there will no longer be free content or we will not be able to escape ads (Idiocracy style).
Lots of unpopular opinions in here and I’m willing to add mine to the mix.
I’m well aware of ad blockers, and use them occasionally. I also block trackers like pendo through DNS entries on my router. I pay for YouTube.
But I also allow ads and welcome them.
I remember when you couldn’t get email unless you were in a school or paid for it. I remember a time when the fastest Internet loaded images line by line. I remember an Internet without videos, or even GIFs.
Services cost money. You use the service, you are the commodity. I’ve accepted this. A few ads don’t kill me and it helps to support providers. I’m quite numb to ads.
Yes they are tracking me and selling my data, but what does that actually mean? I get more targeted offers. More targeted ads.
We’ve become scared of being tracked by corporations, but for what reason?
Providing content costs money. The days of the free Internet will quickly come to an end without advertisers.
FYI PBS gets very little from public funding.
Interesting. The app isn’t actually listed anymore after whatever I did.
Never. Keep work and personal completely separate.
I checked to see if this was on my pixel 6 pro. It wasn’t but I found this.
Not something I installed and not something I would allow.
The uninstall did not appear to work UNTIL I disabled the app and cleared the data.
2018 Subaru Forester
It might be a bit more updated than most, but in general less smart than most cars today.
By my own assessment, it’s the dumbest modern car you can get.
The serpent was the hero in the story of the garden of Eden.
The egotistical man child was the equivalent of a psychopathic 10 year old with a couple hamsters in a cage where the best food is hooked up to a 12v battery.
Come to Florida.
I’m convinced the left lane has become the cell phone lane. Camp out going 10 under what others want to do so you can use your phone and not have to worry about lane changes and merges as much.
