The problem I see is that politicians don't seem to have any good days.

Ads are not designed to get you to buy stuff. Ads are designed to familiarize you with a product. So when you plan a party and have to think what drinks to buy, you already know Coca Cola is a drink that exists. Maybe you buy it, maybe you

It's still easy to cut out of your life. I told my family if they want to reach me they have to use e-mail or the phone. This works surprisingly well.

You misunderstand advertisement. It is not designed to get you to buy stuff. It is designed to get you familiarized with the product and to shape your view of reality. Did you think people thought smoking was cool back in the days just beca

Probably because it's trivial to cut facebook out of your Internet experience. Google,... not so much.

As far as I know birds eat them. A lot. But then again, birds eat other stuff, too.

No, that's just one documented instance. VLC being bad was a meme outside the anime community, too. It affected anyone trying to utilise modern features for video playback.

by Kaiyou 7y ago
Yes, VLC being the worst was a meme back in 2007. To the point where people got involved in the project, just to fix it from being so bad.

VLC being the worst thing ever was a meme back in 2007. Everyone saying that he used it got flamed into oblivion.

Did VLC ever lose it's reputation of being the worst video player of all time?

What we need isn't fear, we need actionable advice to prevent it from happening. Fear solves nothing.

The lines get real blurry with GMO.

by Kaiyou 7y ago
Nothing they write is actionable, so I'm not sure how changing the language would affect anything. Imho it amounts to little else besides fear mongering, if there isn't actionable advice.

I'm mostly talking about the kind of ads an adblocker can take care of. Those are the ones I'd like to be outlawed, anyway. Oh, and the ones people stuff into my mail box, despite a clear label to not do such a thing. And the ones

I'm someone that blocks all ads. It works perfectly well. Whenever I have a need to buy something, I do the research myself. I do not buy things I do not need.

If my local store doesn't have it, it might as well not exist.

Word of mouth. The same way you learn about all those other things you didn't want to know, like who dies in the newest Avenger flick.

Just making a good product people actually have use for. I can't think of a single useful thing I own that I've disovered via someone advertising to me.

The same way they found out before ads and the same way people that block all ads find out.

Case by case basis ublock origin and permanently remove the gif from showing up in my browser ever again.

Play control isn't impossible for GIF. I'm using sxiv for viewing images, which is as minimal as it gets, but it does have pause, single step forward and single step backward for GIF.

by Kaiyou 7y ago
There's already apng (animated png) which is like GIF, but with the quality of PNG. No one really seems to care, though.

I've switchted to qutebrowser, but not sure if it will fit your needs.

Your problem seems to be, that you need arguments to convince someone to do something that you want him to do. I don't care if you're not convinced. I don't need you doing something for my benefit.

Can you answer why this is a problem in terms of costs and benefits presupposing that there is no inherent value to human life? If you argue with certain moral beliefs at your core your probably only reaching deaf ears from key figures that

No dedicated study. Basically zero effort on your part is required, you just need to spend some time on it everyday. Your vocabulary will build itself over time if you keep engaging with the language. It takes ten years to mastery, just lik

Justice isn't something that requires a certain threshold of magnitude. Maybe it's mere entertainment. Doesn't justify injustice.

If you learn a language through memorization of words you're being very, very inefficient. Very. Learning a language requires next to no effort (compared to 30 words per day) and can be done at any age within six months. The strange th

Remember that anime exists as a concept in the West because of stubborn pirates in the 1970s who pirated it when the Japanese themselves didn't even consider publishing it outside of Japan. You don't hear complaints, because peopl
