Maybe this will help with the pumps but the majority of them can be silenced by pressing the 2nd from the top right button. I've found very few stations that disable this and the ones that do I avoid.

How in the fuck is this orange clown even allowed to run with all the indictments against him? The system is a joke. A tragic comedy.
Probably close to 20 years ago at this point, when visiting the official forums for a game I loved, my computer was infected by malware delivered by a malicious ad. This was not some seedy part of the internet, but a website hosted by a major game publisher whose product I enjoyed.
Going to guess it was Blizzard? I remember a huge fiasco about that. If you visited their forums you were at risk of getting infected for about half a day.
Yes. I once was using an old laptop for travel and didn't care if it got lost. It hadn't been updated years but I got a nasty virus from visiting Spotify once that embedded itself into the tcp/ip stack. Not that I cared much for the laptop but it was a wakeup call that ads contain viruses. I've ran adblockers before that incident on my main computers but since it was old I didn't I have everything up to date. Since then I've made sure to install ublock origin on any computer I touch. Even friends and family with their permission.
I could write an essay on why I block ads but the other comments sum it up pretty well.
Play how you want. I may groan internally if you don't spam ping mushrooms or gold.
They never directly said what their criticisms were, but I can only assume they're the types you wouldn't elaborate on when trying to get people to side with you over "censorship".
Which to me is funny because they know they're wrong.
I just want the ones with less than 3 braincells to stay there. Hopefully they'll be offput by lemmy. The rest can come. The idiotic replys I'd get that were just so wrong is what made me delete my account there years ago in the first place. I've been enjoying my time here for the most part.
No one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli.
This. Did it before to fuck with people in online forums
And politicians wonder why they have to try and force people to have kids. Nobody can fucking afford them, let alone daycare or even get time off to take care of them themselves.
Anybody having issues with authorization? I was logged out of lemmy in my jerboa app and I had a hard time logging in with an error message saying rate_limited. It's improved slightly over the last couple of hours but browsing communities that I'm subscribed to is buggy and sometimes won't load more than a handful of posts. I also can't seem to upvote or downvote comments because the app thinks I'm not logged in, despite me being able to post in the same thread.
Except they're okay with socialist programs to help the poor struggling mega wealthy corporations.
