asciiart is decades old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art

that’s irrelevant. Nothing prevents the influencers to promote their products as they do in all the popular platforms. You’re thinking only in terms of ads as coming from an ad server but this is not necessarily the case.

yes, very misguided. I always loved the idea of browsing “All” and see all top brands with millions of engagement promoting their products

yeah I mostly commented that because the fact that the game itself is so much smaller than the audio is impressive and funny at the same time

650MB CD media. The game itself was 40-50MB and the rest 500-600MB was the audio in wav (CD player compatible) type

revisit the comment thread as someone has now posted a photo

Are there any predators smart enough to strategize like this?

it is the predators that build such passages. Have you ever seen any construction company building them? Even in the first photo that is under construction, there is not any human worker in sight

once I had a flatmate that every time he was cooking he was leaving the kitchen like a warzone and he had used every utensil available in the kitchen. He somehow thought that it was faster for him to focus only on the cooking and after it is completed, to do all the dishes, pots, utensils, glasses, oven trays, scissors, screwdrivers, hammers, drills or whatever else he may had used.

I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there

you can’t imagine how many programmers out there are living their life without adblocks. Even before this last month’s shitshow

Look at suicide rates of veterans

I bet this is referring to the US veterans as I doubt there are other countries with such statistic and I wanted to say that IDGAFF. They chose to go fight in the other side of earth thinking they are doing good. Going back and realizing how wrong they were and that in fact they were killing people inside their homes and who never were an actual threat. The reason of the suicides is this tragic realization.

We don’t need to personally see that stuff

I find it difficult to understand that something should be banned because some people “don’t need” to see it. Then don’t look at it? And I’m talking specifically for war reporting now. I’m not talking for generic gore. It is war reporting. It is something that happens. By hiding it it only helps to enlarge our safe bubble and live in it. Sorry, this is not the world. If you want to live in your safe bubble it is up to you, but making it sound like the “correct way to handle reality” is wrong imo

exactly. It is crazy that people still think that if you don’t pay spotify it is the artists that loose money. Most of the subscription value goes to spotify and record labels themselves

it gets more interesting if you calculate how much of the percentage of a user’s subscription goes to spotify, how much goes to labels and how much ends up in the artists themselves.

Where they actually put quotes implies that they don’t think she’s gonna die at all

if she is already dead, then yes, she cannot die (again) at the hospital. I understand what you mean and tbh I’m not sure if there is one correct way to express it. For me at least it was very much understandable how it was originally written.

The way I understand it, by quoting the “in the hospital” you imply that the place may be elsewhere but still be in the future, since you don’t put focus on the action itself (death) which (according to the author) is something that has already happened. By quoting the “dies” you acknowledge that she is in the hospital and you are not questioning the place. You just focus on the tense “dies”, since she is already dead.

are you that naive by choice?

its her mother. Of course she still has hope. The parents keep hoping for their children are alive until the day they see them being buried in the ground. There are parents that are still hoping after 40 years of their child being missing if there is no body found.

However her mother has neither talked with her or even seen her in a video that for example is alive in an ICU if she can’t talk.

it does exist on lineage 20

there is an even worse case for that. CTRL + F in a browser and directly start typing while you’re in a webpage/webapp with hotkeys shortcuts. I end up marking posts/emails as spam, deleting them from my view, start replying or whatever action they’ve assigned in a single key press.

I find it more convenient to move this dock on the left side of the screen and shrink it down to a very thinner one. Then it only occupies a few pixels horizontally, which results in just a bit narrower windows.

the combined internet toggle

you can go to the settings of the notification’s pull down menu (the one that you can add/remove tiles) (pencil icon), remove the combined internet button, and add 2 separate buttons for wifi and mobile data. It could be relevant to the ROM though so I’m not sure if it exists in all phones.
