Could he be Linux guy perhaps ?

I think boss was just lazy to think about it in this case and you gave him no other choice thou 😅

Imagine future civilization digging out some of today’s memes…

It was double sense joke… But thx for serious answer .

There are people laughing at them for not hiring someone born at 20th of April , very same folks riding elevators and not finding weird that the 13th floor is missing.

Why did sex become illegal ?

IMHO it does contradict what you say. Intention doesn’t matter. If you copy currency , you either have to make apparent its fake currency or you are might get in trouble with law. Intention, aka motive is hard to prove and if proven doesn’t make it legal to copy official currency.

I have yet to see country that doesn’t mind copying their currency unofficially but I’m open to suggestions 🫡

Some people would call it counterfeiting but we won’t do that , right ?

There are browsers’ built in solution and plugins like relay in firefox/ to not give your email address to anyone and to easily block spam and see who sold your email to whom.

Right, not to mention they also giving back to community by proposing game friendly changes on kernel AFAIK.

If just most games wold run on Linux out of box at least same as on Windows, i can imagine there would be shift in market share.
One of the reason is needless bloat of Windows so even my for-noobs-distro idles around 0% CPU and less the 1gb memory without doing almost any tweaking but Win10/11 constantly sends calls home and idles on 4-6GB of rams. Other thing is how lightning fast linux can be.

Simply high visit rate is not enough. Every site that wants increase organic traffic has to do SEO at some point.

As for second point yeah, exactly fragmentation is frustrating .

It’s big corpo stuff. Once company grows over certain size left hand stops loosing sight of the right hand.
In other words one team gets task to make sure ads aren’t skipped ever, they don’t get rewarded for saying its dump idea but for implementation .
Later comes other team that gets task to fifure out why the hell electricity bill went up.
Then after that they figure out best way to save money is to reduce employee count.
Then after the adblocking sensation gets old, some one else responsible for perfomance comes with idea that rendering ads is inefficient and they will go back to popup ads.

It often doesn’t make sense and costumer service gets worse as companies grow so i wouldn’t be surpriced by something like this at all.

I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I’d rather use open source.
What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are “recommended” to me it’s sensational “news” that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.

So what to make better ?

• to build what reddit has, I’d call it a content library and i don’t care if it’s done by bots or humans. For me the facts + discussion to ask question is super important.
• if searching for a topic outside of Lemmy> Lemmy doesn’t show up in search engine but reddit does. Some optimization needs to be done to get better score at search engines.
• let users to block instances and thus make de-federation to user’s decision.
• i think there needs to some kind of cross instance community, i don’t think having same kind of community in multiple instances with different content is good solution.

It’s mostly true but i can imagine them trying to render the ads directly into video or something to make it unakippable. Just like plain old TV ads.

To my surprise it actually works.
It’s kind of tactic of mass promotion and is expected that hundreds of folks will not give a damn but one in many will click on the ad.
Also companies (at least i did when i had to use it) often only pay for clicks or even for successful install of their apps so it’s much cheaper than e.g. classic tv spots where they have to pay for a time regardless ofeffectiveness.

I don’t know about peer2peer but decentralized alternative exists. e.g. peertube

• they don’t have Alphabet’s backing

Rossmann tested it in latest video. No difference between browsers. And that dude is strong ad block and none Google browser supporter.

Maybe they are not doing it to move to cleaner water but maybe they were promised more fish if they do by certain fisherman conglomerate. But i could be wrong.
