And I didn't realize you could edit images on Lemmy. Neat!
Does that console have solitaire?
I have no problem with the acceptable ads system. ABP doesn't get any money from it, and the ads have to meet the criteria anyways, and it's easy to opt out. I guess it's a bit fishy that the list maintainers charge money to get ads reviewed, but the FAQ ThunderWhiskers posted says that smaller companies get it for free, and they only charge the bigger companies. I'm not gonna get up in arms over someone charging Disney money for a service they give the local deli for free.
I also like the way it gives companies an incentive to produce less intrusive ads. With the system, unintrusive ads reach more people. Otherwise, it's all or nothing, which makes intrusive ads the best option from a greedy perspective; they're far more likely to be clicked, and the only cost is the risk of damaging the ad ecosystem as a whole (and you know how little corporations can care about damaging ecosystems.)
That's the neat part, I don't. If there's anything really important, it will leak into memes, or I'll hear it from family members, but I don't think I've ever heard a piece of news and thought "Oh, it's a good thing I know that now."
I can see where you're coming from. I already blocked the news because I come here for memes and don't like following the news anyways, but yeah, if you're looking for non-political news, I guess that can be rough.
Oh, you support a mainstream candidate, huh? What else, do you like eating babies? Why don't you just admit you're evil incarnate and vote for my favored candidate instead?
I haven't really noticed much, but that's because I've taken to blocking political communities once they start bothering me by putting too many article links in the front page or being generally rageful.
Probably that other comment (right above this one for me right now,) with this being meant as a reply.
I dunno, it kinda felt like she was playing along... within the constraints of still doing her job. Printing out a whole paper to say "No." when a sticky note would suffice, for example.
