Ugh that sucks. But in the cases where there is authentication, isn't it enough (in most cases) to reset the password and change the email to something disposable? Of course that's not really practical for the case where you get s

Yep. I had to file a GDPR complaint to get an airline to stop sending me "letters from the CEO" and other COVID-related reports that never mattered to me. I never flew with them but somehow they still sent ads disguised as reassur

It's nowhere like asking someone to leave your house. A plane is not a house. This is someone that paid for a service, is following all the rules set in contract and is not causing any problem to you. You merely picked on this person a

It doesn't give the property owner the right to escalate towards violence if the person has not given you any reason for such. The correct thing for the airline to do is call the police if necessary and resolve the dispute using the la

In the case of the hotel example there is also another issue: a hotel is a lodging. Throwing someone out in the street with a proper reason is not entirely legal in most jurisdictions, at least not in mine. Proper reasons include disrupti

All this happened because they were trying to avoid a mild inconvenience for the airline staff. Whatever rights an airline has in this specific situation, it does not entitle or justify that they inflict any violence on others. Even if this

Arguing that "ads are evil" is different from calling them ineffective. Most people dislike targeted ads them because of privacy/resource usage issues. Other people dislike ads in general. Some of those want ads to stop exist

Youtube has recently started recommending short videos too, varying from 10 sec to 1 min, but that depends on your viewing habits. They even have a "#shorts" feature to compete with TikTok.

As others have pointed in this thread, there's NestJS, Sails.js and AdonisJS, which are closer to Rails than Express or Next.js. And there's Meteor too, like the sibling post mentioned. But to be fair 99% of JS backends I see are

by ratww 5y ago
My hunch is that most JS developers just aren't aware of these frameworks. A lot of people in this thread are mixing up Next.js and NestJS, and NestJS is the most popular out of the three you mentioned. Sure it has a lot of stars on Gi

Yeah. Most WP developers and Wordpress itself agree with GP, but it is businesses asking for six-figures websites that require a designer to get made, despite developers and Wordpress saying the contrary. I've seen it happening a thous

I wouldn't call them "milder". They weren't static ads. They were video ads. Often loud and un-skippable for a certain small amount of time. This is definitely equivalent to a "punch the monkey" ad.

by ratww 5y ago
Yep, the first punch was thrown by the ad industry. Popups, pop-unders and even full window advertisements were rampant before popup blockers became commonplace, to the point of being added directly to browsers.

GP is talking about Patreon and sponsorships. A lot of videos get demonitized too, so some creators stand to see no money from ads in some videos.

The funny thing is that the content published for free by the weirdos from the past was 100x better that the ad-driven SEO crap we have today. Also, a lot of that content still exists but it is hidden behind the SEO garbage.

For me the problem with Reddit is not even the astroturfing. It's that, similarly to SEO and Google, people have figured out the kind of posts and replies that get upvotes. So, on niche subreddits, you get a lot of folklore and second-

I’m also unable to throw things away, but I do give things away or sell at a fraction very often. It’s also a fun past time. I don’t have anything useless at home anymore.

This is also a very cheap solution for merchants: only requires a mobile phone and a free app that almost everyone has in some countries. If push comes to shove, install Signal/Telegram or accept SMS.
