To decrease the amount of spam. There is a misunderstanding, the same with anti-cheat. Captchas will always be solvable, there will always be people who cheat. The point is not to eliminate all bots / cheaters, but to only have to deal with a smaller number of them.
The real problem is that new phones dont have it, while there are actually people who use it.
To be honest i dont use it either, but i still prefer having it. Just in case you know? Phones without it did not get cheaper after all…
To this day I still dont understand why they didnt do it this way.
Oh well, at least now we are on a platform which has a future.
Reddit being on the stock market… Like what the actual fuck…
And also, these sponsors should be at least somewhat relevant to you (ofc does not always mean it is.) ex. I watch The Linux Experiment channel, and he has Tuxedo Computers as a sponsor, who make hardware for Linux. Perfect match.
Other example is on mozilla’s developer platform (developer.mozilla.org), where the ads are not intrusive plus these are relevant for developers.
I just dont understand why cant we have these types of ads, instead of the tracking bullshit we have currently.
Buddy, this is a linux post not a windows one
Yeah sadly, whenever you say PC / Laptop people associate it with windows. You buy one of these, its windows. People dont even know what else is out there.
Just dont look at Ubisoft. 💀
Ad/promotion appeared in offline games whenever you opened the map…
However, if they say ‘okay guys, we heard you, one more year of support!’. This way they could farm so much PR points its insane.
Cant guess which one they will choose tbh.
Yeah, the start menu ads were / are ‘only’ in the beta build.
Yeah, Codeberg’s UI is almost the same as github, its good tbh.
P.S. i came to the conclusion that codeberg/github UI is good, when i went to sourcehut. Holy crap, my mind couldnt comprehend what am i looking at. (Could be a skill issue tho)
For windows you dont need to buy it, you can activate it using microsofts own tools, its on github (dont remember its name right now.)
As for linux, i would recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed, it is fresh, and the best part about it is that whenever you update the system, it creates a snapshot, so if the update had some kind of undesired sideeffects, you can just startup the old version. (These snapshots only effect the system’s packages, your apps will keep their state iirc. My brother uses tumbleweed and he is very content with it.)
Holdup, what did the tumblr CEO do? Havent heard about that, im curious.
Yeah, if there is one thing that windows 11 does well is looks. I think its fancy.
So, this means Proton is not private either? Any product you pay for cannot be private?
There is a difference between anonimity and privacy.
Yeah kind of, but the CEO needs to learn that not everyone will like their products, you cant convince everyone.
The person said that they dont want to engage with the discussion, then the CEO should have just let it be.
My exact thoughts as well. Im like:
“Huhh wtf, this cant be true. Ahh it must be the Onion. Wait wat… This is not the onion…”
I actually dont understand why news and such written blogs stopped with sponsors. I dont want tracking pixels, autoplaying videos and all that bullshit. Have a static small paragraph with a referral link, thats it.
For example on adventofcode, there was a static ad for spotify job application. This is an ad which i can advocate for. Creator of the site gets money, the ad is not intrusive, and it targets programmers who would just naturally navigate to this site.
Yeah same. I still use youtube for example, but not gmail, google search or windows. These three are huge, in gathering info.
Exactly, it is lovely. Editing text with it is actually enjoyable.
