I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

How was it worthless before it became the Trump party? His writing is my jam, whether it has substance or not
The only thing that makes it look light is the sun Instagram, then?
Are you saying that you’ve tarred and feathered my motherboard in place of zip ties‽
Welp, at least it works. It’s called punycode, and some browsers have disabled it by default due to Cyrillic letters posing a security risk. For non-domains, percent-encoding is available.
https://ign.中国 ? There’s been a standard to encode it as xn-- for a while.

Yes, you may pirate with your computer and vote for your local pirate party. No, it does not cease to be piracy. You think money just fell out of a coconut tree?
They are not entitled to force people to look at them, but they are entitled to load them in the browser and display them.
Again, that is not ad blocking. That’s just reading the phone while the ad is playing. That preserves the ad revenue, blocking does not.
The difference that you as an individual makes in how much money is made through advertising is less than a hundredth of a cent.
That’s just one view. It adds up within the month.
Yes you are. When closing your eyes during trailers, the cinema still gets paid. When blocking ads, websites don’t get paid.* Billboards are also different, as they don’t give you some sort of service benefit except “land”; they’re equivalent to domain parking ads which are absolutely awful, for which I see no plausible justification whatsoever.
*There was this fork of µblock that tried to just hide them instead of removing them, but that didn’t seem to work when I tried it. I also forgot the name.
I heard the legends of the Chinese anthem being at PornHub and took a look a while ago. It turns out that they’ve removed all videos from unverified users and blocked them from uploading.
Works for me, and the post was edited before your comment.
No, that’s not what ad blocking is. You just described viewing a traditional “1 banner at the bottom/top” ad. There’s a snowball’s chance in hell that you actually check out/click on the ad after seeing it; you throw it away after seeing it. On the off chance you’re intrigued by the ad, you take it home.
That’s not what ad blocking is. There’s no suitable metaphor for ad blocking IRL, but it’d most nearly be raiding the nearest available ad pamphlet warehouse or interrupting the guy who gets the pamphlets to the foodgiver. Sure, the difference is that nobody gets the ads anymore, but that’s not a bad thing for you, is it? The foodgiver gets no ad revenue for now until delivery is re-established.
Calling it piracy doesn’t mean you think it’s the worst thing in the world. I do it unless I like a service, and c’mon, it is piracy.
See what I said above. I don’t mean clients, I mean frontends.
That’s not what I mean. Lemmy has two separate repositories: one for the backend, and one for the default frontend. New frontends can be written and straight-up hooked into the server’s backend instead of making all those API calls. For example, see https://photon.lemmy.dbzer0.com/ vs https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/.
Does anyone know if Mastodon have that “multiple frontends” thing Lemmy has?
The point is we hook into existing search engines that are widely used.
