Advertisements are an attack to manipulate me and change my behaviour. I don’t tolerate them at all. They also ruin the product, because it eventually becomes more important to cater to the advertisers than the users.

If Youtube went back to how it was originally (no ads, downloadable videos, creator-controlled, etc), I, and many others, would happily pay them even if we could get the content for free (see Patreon, or GoFundMe, or PornHub, or Imgur, or Reddit, or many other sites as examples).

I’d guess that the stats were thrown off every small business that has an annoying TV blaring in the background

FreeBSD! It’s so simple, and so reliable

Too true. self-hosters represent!

I generally tag people who are being shitty. It’s totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.

The good news is, you have no tags! :)

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.

Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.
