The website is almost unreadable with so many ads. Also I think this is overkill? "The following files are used in Open Camera"

  What's a rare pepe and how does it support the project?

    Uncommon/novel variants of the pepe meme. And no idea.

You really need to start using an ad blocker. I don't see any ads at all, anywhere on the Internet. It boggles my mind that someone who reads HN does not use an ad blocker in 2026.

  Oh there are still ads as some are baked into the content, but I can live with those. How people can live with the normal amount of ads - no idea.

    I had a friend years ago with laser focus. He was read an article on his laptop and I was behind him. I asked him how he tolerating the flashing chumbox ad. "Why don't you install Adblock Plus (the ad blocker of the day)?". He had to look around his screen for a second to find it. He said he didn't even register it before I told him about it. Even a single dead pixel would seriously distract me but he didn't even notice the gif of some disgusting medical scam ad showing elbows or knees or whatever. He could also fall asleep seconds after hitting the bed. I need at least 10 minutes - at least. Sometimes an hour. Maybe it's a related phenomenon. Some people just seem to ignore external stimuli better than others. Whether ads whose purpose is brand recognition work on them subconsciously, idk.

      One aspect of that is people who have learned to ignore ads. One aspect of that is that many people do not perceive their entire screen at once. I tend to catch almost everything on the screen when I'm taking it in, and if someone asks me about something on the screen I can generally find it in a small fraction of a second; I don't take in every last detail (e.g word of text) simultaneously, but I have every major UI element in mind. I have observed that many people are focused specifically on one thing and don't notice a thing I call attention to without searching the screen for multiple seconds.

tried to visit it without ublock, I still don't see any ads at all and see no reason why there would be any, can you tell me were are the ads?

  Here is a screenshot: https://files.catbox.moe/ukxte8.png https://files.catbox.moe/ukxte8.png I do have to wonder if this is a net negative. At least for me, it significantly reduces trust and respect for the website and developer, while I can't imagine the traffic produces any meaningful revenue? Edit: Just realized it's the same ad 4 times, haha. (I think the 5th one, offscreen, was the same too.)

    With ublock origin, none of that appears on the site.

    No wonder regular people hate technology.

    What's fascinating to me is it looks totally different for me when I turned off my adblocker. We are i guess targeted differently by these ad companies. https://files.catbox.moe/9einuv.png https://files.catbox.moe/9einuv.png

      your ad is worse because it looks like it could be part of the website...
