"experienced programmers" in would have web developers fall under that umbrella, I'd guess web developers are less likely to adopt adblockers if their livelihood depends on them

Just want to say when I said "confuses the dumbasses" I wasn't referring to people like yourself, I was talking about hyper capitalists.

If you take an industry, and make it owned and run by the workers, take the NHS of the UK for example. It's paid for by taxes, therefore owned by the public, and is run by the public, that's socialism. But just paying tax alone to have more services isn't socialism. Socialism is defined by the ownership and regulation of business and service by the people.

So paying taxes for the government to pay a private company to do the work is not socialism, for example madicaid in the US.

It doesn't seem like a big difference at first but the results are massively different.

I know this is a joke but we should stop making it. It confuses the dumbasses.

You can't use logic with these people, you have to give them examples, even if it sounds stupid

Who's going to provide care for you when you're retired and ill? Another pensioner?

It's worth remembering Meta (Facebook at the time) spent a lot of money making it free to use Facebook on data plans across the world.

They did follow rule 6 though, it states to not ask for a recipe without engaging with the op. They replied to the op asking for a recipe so that's engagement. If you want to enforce rules make sure the rules make sense first.

What's batshit about it? As a society we do exactly that, we tell boys to like blue and girls to like pink.
