Worst is when they copy the click bait title, so the comments are full of people raging about something like “Lemmy now has a premium cost”, without realizing it’s bull shit.

I’d like my phone to last 5 years minimum.

That seems to be the new standard for continued software support too. If the phone only lasts for half of that, what’s the point?

Replacing the battery on a 9a is a invasive 64-step process(ifixit guide). The kit they sell is surprisingly cheap at $40, but has a list of other tools you need. Its definitely not a project most people will undertake.

No, that sounds silly. It must be PNG. You really should enunciate the PNG.

You’ll be working for Slugworth

Is it pronounced png or png?

I’ve never had a problem with ads made in this way. My only complaint would be it looks like an actual post. Even though OP is just sharing it, a filterable tag, like we have for nsfw, would be nice.

This form of “passive marketing” (I’m making up terms), I.e a random picture in the feed that you can easily scroll past is fine (assuming its marked appropriately and there are not too many). If the post catches attention enough that people start sharing it because they liked it, the marketer has done a good job. I also consider banner ads “passive”. If they actually filter out the scams and malware, and if someone wants to sponsor Rod’s Radical Recipes with a banner ad, who cares.

I do take issue with I’ll call active marketing. This is an ad you’re forced to engage with, like an unmutable gas pumps that’s playing audio, a commercial break or a pre-roll add. If I’m getting something for free, then sure an add or two seems reasonable (well, 15 years ago it did), but I’m already paying for the gas, shut the fuck up and let me enjoy my 3 minutes of stress watching the numbers go up without some guy screaming about beef jerky.

Edit: reworded the second paragraph, definitely didn’t look at the background too quick and think it was a real poster somewhere and talk about random posters on a wall…nope defiantly not.

And the school who handed them out will suspend kids for having drug paraphernalia.

Sigh another alchemy experiment gone wrong

Neat, they are going back to useful information on the bsod. I hate the current one with the useless QR code.

Although, I foresee the new having errors that when looked up will all say “did you update windows? OK, now reinstall windows. Be sure to do a full reinstall, your data’s on one drive so don’t worry about it”

Sure its easy cash, but now he is deprived of his fun.

Yeah, I wish there was a way to delete a post with out deleting it to preserve comments.

Maybe an “abandon” feature. It removes your user name from public view and does a simple find and replace to remove your name in the comments. The post can live on, but now you have nothing to do with it. The user would have a “abandoned post” counter, this so we know if a user is constantly abandoning posts and can block them. Or put a hard cap, more than 2 a month = banned from posting until mod appeal. Posts with 0 comments face no penalty and are deleted.

Someone still needs to be able reference to the original poster for modding and blocking purposes.

You mind leaving it plugged in mid January and through Feb? Maybe cycle it a bit so we still get snow, but not below freezing temps.

Now the ads are 60sec? instead of 2.5min. Right now the time pressure to do your business is the hardest its ever been. Until they increase the ads again.

I was gonna tell you that it used to have it. But I guess it never did.

She’s not dancing on the desktop, so I think R2 is fine.

“No time to duck, but I did think this whole sentence. I could have dodged if I thought faster! Wait it still didn’t hit me? Is that thing in slow motion? I think its slower than a bullet. Thats funny, and what kinda name is Batpoon, its so silly. Should I call my strength “super strength”…oh wait, I d- OW I forgot to move!”

Congratulations, you remembered.

I knew the paper was about something else, I was applying the philosophy to the picture of imitation crab.

At one point that was a fish…I don’t think its intended purpose was to get mutilated, processes to look vaguely like crab meat and eaten. But I’m not a fish, so I could be wrong.
