I am not disagreeing with people using adblockers, the guy I responded to brought up TOS, I just corrected him about what they are because he misunderstands them.

The TOS are your licence to watch the copyrighted material, be it by paying a subscription or consuming ads. So if you break the TOS you’re committing piracy. It’s very clearly piracy, although I don’t condemn it.

Just to be clear, I was just saying that the point was ignored, not that I agree.

Although your response isn’t good either, you can advocate for more efficiency so people get to do more rewarding work, such as arts and crafts. Part of these arts and crafts can also be fireworks.

I don’t think the work that’s done to create and use fireworks is without purpose, in the end it’s a celebration and that’s purpose in and of itself.

Yes, but the point of the person you responded to is that work for the sake of work is also a waste.

I’m proud that 1996 seems to be one of the years least used, but damn is it sad anyways how used it is.

Them using gnome doesn’t stop you from using whatever you want actually.

Right now it’s pretty much how you want it to be.

I love the displays they put into cheap phones, but other than that they charge too much a premium for features that now should be standard such as fast and/or wireless charging

Oh yeah those are not barebones, but I am sure they are not necessarily included as they aren’t made in china and the telemetry is done by google

To be fair china’s electric cars are way more barebone than American ones, so even tho i don’t think they are private enough they can work without telemetry (or with it removed)

The last Carrie has great pace and then feels so rushed at the end

I don’t know the site that much, but I know that “harmful to minors” can mean anything.

I think he means pages are presented as static html+css pages, generated dinamically on the back end

Probably federation would have started with him, knowing how he wanted to keep reddit open source and for more people to have their own servers

I totally agree, just explained OP’s point

I agree, I’m just explaining OP’s logic

The point of contention here is not that OP doesn’t like this kind of verification, but that he believes that Twitter is making up the sign in attempt to get OP to actually log in and report higher usage metrics in Q3.

I don’t think OP opposes 2FA, at least not from the info he posted.

Fuck @spez@reddit.com

Even then i think twitter works (or used to) because of the algorithm that kept you getting more content, which mastodon doesn’t have (nor shouldn’t) but with content agregators as long as you are subscribed to stuff that interests you you only need to hit a certain number of users for content to keep flowing.

It’s the difference between subscribing to subjects rather than to people.
