"What the fuck"
Saved you a click and way too much scrolling
There's an article?
I probably can't afford that car, but I definitely can't afford that blender.
Oh come on now. You expect these people to be able to afford to just be able to send you text? For free. Madness!
Also, use Firefox mobile, install those ad blockers. Have a useful mobile internet again.
I'm all for the use of ad blockers but I really hope that statement was intended to be ridiculous.
First part, a bit. Although we seem to have replaced most journalism with "ChatGPT, please rewrite this press release as a news article".
Second part, no.
thats a great 8dea heh
I only wish I could use it as the system WebView implementation.
There's Chromium based mobile browsers with AdBlocker that can be used as WebView. Vivaldi, for example. Not FOSS, though, no freedom, only beer.
Firefox Focus for visiting random sites. Adblock built in drops all cookies on exit.
Man, how do you guys survive an ad-unfiltered internet?
Crouch in the corner and hope it forgets about us.
Yeah, we could tell
AdBlockers, my buddy in Buddha, AdBlockers.
It's pronounced bodhisattva.
I guessed right 🤣

For the last one he could just have quoted Al. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ZfahRzz_w
My guess was the last one.
Go f yourself
It's okay, you can swear here, I won't tell mom.
