I get it, local papers are struggling to survive and ad revenue is down. And there is a note on the page to identify that it is "sponsored content." But at first glance it's visually indistinguishable from any other story or op-ed the paper publishes. This is misleading to casual readers.

For context, there is an ongoing multi-decade legal fight to get the government to remove four large dams on the Snake River in the northwest US. The paid content here is written by a consortium representing organizations which have financial incentives to keep the dams in place.

Anubis rarely ever annoys me (I still prefer it over cloudflare's Mitm) but this specific visit feels almost vindictive. It used half my CPU cores at full blast for three straight minutes.

It seems to be effective since I can't really "bypass" it with extensions, so AI crawlers probably can't either, but damn there really should be an option to complete a manual captcha or email the administrators to complain.

As I'm typing this the challenge is still running xD

I got shadow banned weeks ago mistakenly, it happened after I made 4 posts about a humidity issues on 4 different subs. I think that triggered an algorithm to think I am a bot or something.

So the only sub I could use was r/Shadowban so I thought let me help others and let them know about their account situation.

My last comment was suggesting summit/lemmy while waiting and then I got message from r/shadowban that I am permanently banned for breaking reddit rules... not the sub rules. F... not sure if I can curse.

Anyway, I think Summit is amazing after modifying some settings it looks like reddit and even better

This design looks so cheap to me, it's just a bunch of random covers, there is no information about the movies presented in any way, the covers are way too big and take up an inordinate amount of space and there is nothing breaking up sections, design is just so fucking dumb now, fuck mobile

rant over 😅

I was hoping for a savory flavor, I got a weird spicy flavor. I never had Indian food but I want to try it. Nevertheless, it is a good taste. For a split second I was mildly infuriated tho.
