Sending the JavaScript to do this literally uses more electricity than this saves.

I love it in theory… but it just broke so many websites I needed to use. And not always in obvious ways.

The percentage of trucks on the left I see actually doing that is functionally 0%

I like it; it feels like a vaccine for clickbait thumbnails…. Because everything becomes a clickbait thumbnail, so your mind just ignores it.

This seems like a good place for a charity… although the cost isn’t just a bus ticket but also probably temporary housing/income as well.

Shit. I just realized I’m suggesting a refugee agency for US states.

This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.

If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.

If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0

Yeah. I often type out a comment. The. Realize I really don’t want to be bother by this person’s adhoc reply… then just delete it.

And blast the whole planet with radiation? Are you crazy?

I’ve worked on payment systems. It is very hard to federate unless something like Stripe is used for actual payment.

Credit card companies simply won’t interface with you unless you prove their data is safe. It isn’t a process that scales well.

Brick and mortar companies get around this by having payment terminals which are insanely locked down. (Which is also why those terminals mostly suck)

I don’t think moms realize this can go the other way. When I was a kid I learned to just never mention any girl’s name, regardless of the reason.

It is basically when someone is doing something illegal and stupid, but isn’t thinking about it killing someone. Then accidentally kills someone.

Voluntary manslaughter is then when you do something that you know will kill a person, but for some reason it isn’t murder.

For lots (most?) laws, ignorance isn’t an excuse… even though the specific charge may change.

Aagrred with this.

It still surprises me that:

1. people think students need to be in school so long every year for actual educational reasons
2. people get offended when you point out that it largely functions as a ‘daycare’ for younger kids
3. we’ve had both parent working be the norm for decades now… and somehow we still don’t have a school system that addresses that

I honestly think that the main reason for the male/female become gap is the above. Discrimination exists, but I think it is more an issue of women being more likely to compromise their work life to take care of kids… and therefore being less useful to work… so being paid less for it.

If we ACTUALLY fix that somehow, we’d be much more inclusive and free society.

Exactly. In a world where people at a big steak dinner once a week, you’d see a similar result.

Am CIS and support this logic

That’s insane. Especially considering the scope of thier ‘doors closed’ normal job is a nightmare.

I had to google this because it is so absurd I didn’t believe it:

Honestly I didn’t realize this was a trans community. I thought ‘196’ was just some random number like the ‘4’ in 4chan. 196 just had good content. The fact it’s inclusive is just a bonus.

Even with web integrity, I don’t see anti-Adblock working. We’re almost at the point that client side AI can screen capture the web page and recreate it sans-ads.

And there are probably simpler solutions to bypass anti-adblock

Even a 20% pay bump doesn’t get an employee that likes their current job if they’re already near $100k (and not in NYC or similar cost).

Under no circumstances though is the problem a ping pong table.

The internal question always needs to be ‘what is my next best alternative - if I need to actually say no’. Without an answer you are comfortable with, you won’t be able to negotiate.

It is a someone evil aspect to reality…. those who have more, and need less, have a better position to negotiate for me.

This is a government mandate for one corporation to pay another corporation to share it’s product. This isn’t ‘helping the little guy’ or anything.

People still have the ability to just go directly to the news site. Or Google. Or the government’s Facebook page. Or the national alert system. And probably lots of other options I don’t know about.

The law (“you must pay for the news you show unless otherwise agreed”) seems reasonable. As does the response of “well it isn’t worth enough to pay for”.
