How do those plugins that track the prices of amazon listings over tome get their data? Don’t they scrape it from the site?

Go see a Star War.

I’m honestly more stunned that this is an internet company. They didn’t think this was a bad idea to post to Vimeo?

So he took a magic mouse amd turned it into a regular mouse?

Everyone loves free speech, until they don’t.

I thought these guys were against cancel culture?

This is a good time to remind people one of his kids is trans. What utter garbage he’s turned out to be.

Personally, I don’t mind when ads are reasonable for a website or service I’m getting for free. I think people should get paid for the service they are providing. The problem is it always eventually gets out of control and at that point, yeah I’m going to block your ads.

I was on a website earlier today and 80% of the screen was ads. Sorry, you’re getting added to my block list.

Did Elon respond with a poop emoji?

I don’t understand the controversy really. A graphic designer at Disney used stock photography in their design of the poster, that’s pretty normal and extremely common. It turns out that whoever uploaded that stock image to the service used AI to create it, but how is that Disney’s fault? I don’t get it.

I’m not referring to those ads. These are ads spotify adds before those ads. It’s a recent thing they started doing.

Nope. Spotify recently started adding adds before my podcasts. So now I have to sit through three ads before the podcasts starts and the I have to sit through the ads the podcasts add. It’s unbearable.

Can I just get one without ads? That’s what I’ve been paying for and now suddenly podcasts have ads.

I deleted that shit months ago.

This is what they’re wasting time with while the government shutdown looms. SMDH.

It all sounds like semantics to me. You could implement donations first and then say OK for all you people who haven’t donated we’re going to punish you by showing you ads. Bottom line is this shit isn’t free. It has to get paid for somehow.

What if people who donate no longer see ads? Problem solved.

[spongebob_voice]III’m ready!

Nice.

Yelp used to approach businesses with proposals to to that, yes. Had a friend with a small business years ago and he would get called by Yelp constantly trying to get him to pay to improve his reviews. It’s so shady.
