Fun fact: Gas chambers are often used to kill pigs. You can hear their screaming from outside the facilities as the gas burns them to death from the inside out.
This is common practice.
It is plenty likely the victim in the picture whose mutilated corpse is very disrespectfully converted into sewage by now was gassed to death.
When I became financially independent I got Reddit premium even though I didn’t really use any of the features. Already had adblock and RES. I just wanted to support the site I spent hours on.
Cancelled that when they killed Apollo.
But I do agree that limited ads aren’t an issue… except for the slippery slope that’s happened. Just a few more ads… just a little more intrusive…
This is me. I have had people say I make them sweat by looking at me when I wear a sweater in 75F just because it’s not yet hot enough to make me take it off.
Personally, only because of social stigma.
I worry that paying attention/compliment to someone being aesthetically good looking will be taken as a sxual interest when it isn’t. I’m as sxually interested in them as I am a cute cat or a pretty flower, which I also smile at seeing.
So I’m a bit more hesitant to smile at the pretty human than I am smiling at the pretty kitty or pretty flower.
On the other site I had to leave the asexual spaces because they became oddly sexual. And that made me really uncomfortable in a space I was specifically in for the company of other not sexual people.
They even got super defensive and called you things like acephobic for pointing out that asexuality and graysexuality are not the same thing and deserve their own spaces so everyone can be comfortable.
There’s the trauma thing, too. If someone claimed that a person “became” heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual due to trauma, they’d be rightly called out that it doesn’t work that way. And yet the asexual communities started saying that trauma can cause asexuality. No, it doesn’t, it causes trauma. Saying sexual trauma can cause an orientation is not only silly, it’s downright harmful to all because people will be told that trauma is okay and that asexuality can be “cured”. Both are horrible to imply.
I hope that Lemmy will have a more sane, comfortable asexual community. I’m here cautiously now, watching and hoping it doesn’t become a sexual community using the asexual label as a badge instead of a useful term describing a completely natural orientation alongside Hetero/Homo/Bisexual.
None of this is at you, OP. Just a bit of a vent and a hope for a better tomorrow.
POSTS IKE THIS ARE WHY I LOVE THE PACK, MFER!
I DON’T EVEN KNOW THE ORIGINS JUST THAT YOH ALL HAVE GREAT MESSAGES!
If your keyboard has home/end buttons (right side, towards the top for me) and scroll to top does what it sounds like, you can probably ditch that one.
Pressing home automatically sends you to the top of the page, pressing end sends you to the bottom.
I personally got rid of Honey because I got word of it being a data harvester, which makes sense to me since it spammed advertising to YouTube sponsorships despite being a “free” thing… so I honestly didn’t bother looking to far into that I just chucked it and moved on. It wasn’t important enough for me to bother checking how they got the money to advertise through content creators.
I do use Dark Reader, RES (rip Reddit though. RES gets far less use now but I’m still keeping it), Sponsorblock, Return YouTube Dislike, and uBlock Origin from that list. So obviously I (currently) agree with them.
Genuinely good advice that I am saving for my own reference. Thank you.
If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, that’s just impressive.
I don’t even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.
I can only speak for myself, but it’s less about the monetizing and more about the how.
The ads are intrusive and highly disrespectful of our time. Not to mention the bullcrap they’re allowed to advertise that would get videos demonetized. And the risk of malware from the ads.
I can understand things like premium. Heck if they wanted to lock HD behind premium I could understand. It costs a lot of money to run that crap so getting money for that service does make sense.
But by solving that with intrusive, annoying, possibly dangerous ads? I will block the ads. Find a better way because that ain’t it. I will sooner leave YouTube for other video sites satisfying my interests that are currently being advertised by creators on YouTube itself, than accept the crappy ads.
I am pleased to see at least one other person immediately thought of CallMeKevin
I miss it, but I also get to feel like I’ll see it grow all over again, slightly different.
But this time I already know that it’ll become a great place to go find a community for any specific niche in the future.
And this time, an ass CEO idolizing another idiot cannot kill off third party apps with one toxic decision.
