Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    They’re working on a way to project ads onto your closed eyelids and count that as engagement. It’s technically eyeballs. Maybe the brand makes it into your dreams.

    ad paused please, resume watching -- please, resume watching -- ...

    If a scientist group figured out that overexposition to ads decreases the efficiency (zoning out) you think the market would deflate?

    [–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    ad agencies would start sell their ads as "non-tiring" or whether bullshit marketing term they come up with and nothing else would change.
    Moneymen will gladly burn the entire planet down into slag if they though it could get them one more penny every month

    [–] cynar@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    It's a prisoner dilemma situation. It doesn't matter how effective the ads are on an absolute scale, but a relative one. The aim is to get more facetime than your competition. Unfortunately, any company that opts out gets flattened.

    Incidentally, this is why tobacco companies loved the ad ban (at least in the UK). It had long reached the point where they couldn't encourage many people to smoke. They were advertising to cancel out the poaching of customers by other brands.

    [–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

    So the only way out would be legal pressure? Now how to get there?

    [–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    market researchers have figured this out several decades ago

    and no the market hasn’t deflated so there’s your answer

    [–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Meaning current ad market in IT is a bubble? Possibly driven by dominant Google?

    [–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 1 year ago

    i don’t think bubbles last 40+ years, i wouldn’t hold out for a change anytime soon :(

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Just need to find a more intrusive way, and keep innovating ahead of the competition

    No, not at all. Sure the rich want to be richer, but hurting the poor is a goal in and of itself in our world.

    [–] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    What should I add in this one?:

    does running a windows vm give me back Roblox support?

    [–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    Not sure, an easier way to do it is by running the mobile version of robloc with waydroid

    Edit: I recommend that over s vm

    Scroll down the archive until beginning of April and there is the tumblr post. I can't open/share the post directly as everytime I want to press anything on tumblr it nags me to login

    [–] jonasw@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Sir, would you like some content with your ads ? A bit of water maybe?

    Advertising should be illegal. A good case can be made for this. A short documentary: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=McsqJnRF_XQ
