  • That's how the corporate-written laws in the USA handle it most likely. The EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. Burying it in a 100 page terms of service document doesn't count as consent either.

  • Not an expert either, but from what I've seen, the EU actually has some amount of consumer protection. The USA on the other hand mostly lets big corporations get away with whatever they want, as long as they make some "donations".

  • Back when it was unintrusive banner ads and the like? Sure, you might have had a point then. But now, with multiple unskippable 2 minute ads, before, during, and after the video? Fuck no.

  • Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they'll interfere with each other.

  • Saved you a click: New Zealand and the Philippines are the countries.

  • Well, yes, but: Even more money! If the numbers don't go up, and by more than predicted, it's considered a failure.

  • But have you considered how much money the weapons industry shareholders will make?

  • The only claim I recognize to the land currently being fought over is that of The Kingdom of Jerusalem as proclaimed in 1099 by Godfrey of Bouillon. The title has passed to the current rightful claimant of the Kingdom, His Majesty Felipe VI, King of Spain. I demand the restoration of the rightful Catholic monarch as the blessings of the One True Church is the only way to bring peace to the Holy Land. We've tried allowing the Hebrew and the Saracen to govern the territory and we've witnessed nothing but chaos as they squabble over their false doctrines and heresies, shedding their unholy blood on the land that rightfully belongs to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to be administered by his divinely appointed representative, Felipe VI.

  • their new homes

    You mean the land that they illegally stole from Palestinian civilians, butchering anyone that refused to be made homeless?

  • Nah. They're lax about loli. Which, as distasteful as it is, does not involve any harm to actual children. They do go after actual CSAM.

  • Bard: "Doot doot, magic flute!~"

  • It was in AskLemmy iirc. Which, yeah, definitely the wrong place to post that.

  • Instead of spamming Xs, use spoiler tags. When making a post, those little buttons above the text, it's the triangle (second from the right). Like so:

    Or click the 3 dots under this and "View Source" to see how it's done.

  • If being shown none isnt an option

    Not being shown ads is always an option.

    Get an adblocker. ublock origin for PC and android firefox is great. Adaway on android blocks most ads from other apps. And I don't use apple products, but I've heard Adguard works there.

  • Cheap license sites (windows, games, etc) usually use keys bought via stolen credit cards. Pirating it is much better than buying from those sites, including for the devs that get punished for chargebacks from those keys.

  • Overall users? Probably not. The casual lurker does not know or care what an API is.

    But the vast majority of content is made by a tiny fraction of the user base, and that fraction are the ones they pissed off. The quality of posts on large subs very much went down, with repost bots becoming even more prominent than before.
