Ads unfortunately have to exist if we still want all this online content

I DON'T want all this online content. I'm not on instagram/facebook/tiktok/whatever two-word website/app the next generation will worship. I don't tweet. I don't follow influencers. The media I consume is mostly youtube, and even that's been recently decreasing. The internet can die tomorrow and I won't miss anything that ran on ads, the biggest impact would be that now I can't buy things online so I'd need to physically purchase some items.

Fuck this version of the internet. If there's ever a moment that adblockers stop fighting the good fight, I'm cutting costs and just not paying for internet anymore. It's not worth it.

Hey, fingers crossed the dude's weapon goes off somewhere in their ammo storage area, taking out as many of these chucklefucks as possible.

Probably seeing what amount of pain each asshole driver can suffer before they die. Hope you're at least a 9, OP!

For trying a game, trying it, disliking it and refunding it, a series of events that is completely normal and allowed by steam's refund policy? Well it's probably getting changed when gaben dies and someone else takes over, but I'm not sure we should be rooting for that...

I hope it does. Then they can fuck off and die nameless, cause I'm not buying it if it's not on steam or gog, and I've recently aso begun not buying it if it requires a PSN account. Take your shitty business practices and stuff them up your console's ass.

Yes, like most normal people do.

There's a lot of discussion when you're a software dev about the best way to do things, and a lot more is spent on this debate than on actually writing code. One could wonder if there is so much discussion because there are so many good ideas that it's difficult to choose the one that is optimal for the situation.

But then you read one of these posts on lemmy and you are reminded that someone with internet access and thumbs could spare the short time they have to take a shit to egregiously misunderstand a simple fucking slogan, smugly post about their shit take on the internet, and then return to their job where they will then spend hours misunderstanding the simplest of fucking concepts, slowing down everyone else along with them.

I mean, it just sounds like the people from your Tools/Infrastructure/IT/Devops/whatever-it's-called-for-you department are fucking incompetent and can't properly configure a Single Sign-On. Took mine a few years as well, I think the ticket was stuck in the queue behind the "restart some servers when nobody's watching to see how long until they find the issue" tickets, which they seemed to be working on weekly.

Also, I can't think of any reason why SSO can't work with Mozilla or Chrome also, not just with Edge.

Um.. No. If the company doesn't value my time by posting a correct job listing, I don't want to work for them. These are the same HR people posting the jobs who will then have trouble maintaining a good work environment, or making sure people aren't abused/harassed in the workplace. These people will have access to your data and you'll be trusting them to not make paper airplanes out of your SSN. And if it's not HR creating the job postings, it's some low/mid-level manager you might have to work for some day. Do you really want Mr "better make sure the new waiter knows how to install HVACs" handling your workload and giving you tasks?

When a company tells you its HR department is full of idiots I think you wanna listen to them.

"shouldn't you be bombing hospitals" is better.
