Decent chance that post was written by AI as well. Or it was a marketing copywriter. Either way it wasn’t written by a normal human.

I’m assuming 1172 is a count of donations to official mainstream servers. I have definitely contributed to my local server.

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

uBlock Origin has kept their filters up-to-date for me. Still no ads, and no blocks from YouTube, since day 1. I did disable my other privacy extensions like Privacy Badger and Ghostery on YouTube to stay on their “good” side however.

Who views ads in Reddit? Except for all the shill posts, that is.

Won’t employers just adopt the same workaround that they’re using in Colorado, by posting a huge pay range and hiring all employees near the bottom?

I’m guessing that they’ll sell Reddit Gold for money (or give subscribers a monthly stipend), then share a (small) portion of the money they made to contributors when they receive and then sell back said gold.

I can’t even begin to imagine 20,000 people dying so quickly like that. Absolutely horrible…

DuckDuckGo uses Bing as well, so I’m not sure why it’s better for you than Yahoo or bing.com. I personally am fine using DDG, as it provides the results I’m looking for and doesn’t track me for asking.

What a tool.

In the fediverse it’s very hard, and impossible if the spammer owns the instance. If many more spam posts originate from the same instance and the owners of other instances notice, then they can defederate with that instance. Or if just one account is found to be unsavory (i.e. you can report them) then the mods of the communities they spam can ban them. Otherwise, there’s not much you or I can do…

Thank you for telling us all who we should DEFINITELY NOT use for carpet cleaning.

Go Fuck Yourself

Cool, let’s do that in the USA now. BofA, Citi, Chase, Wells Fargo…blood-sucking vampires, all of them.

The article focuses on threat actors, but I think that the more common use might be a coworker or boss deciphering what people are typing/shitposting outside of the official meeting. Always mute when you’re not talking, folks.

What prompted this increase? Are they targeting a specific business market that predominantly uses MacOS? Or is it due to a recent increase in the availability of Mac exploits?
