There are dozens of us
They say he’s still ducking to this day
I once knew a “developer” with 20 years of “experience” who could not write a foreach loop by hand
Some people are really good at bullshitting their way through life
On the flipside for advertisers, prices for ad clicks have never been higher. Its so outrageously high now, making Google such an obscene amount of money, that its unlikely to get better, I’d expect it to get much worse.
Right? Who needs a QA team when you can use real live customers for testing
Better yet just edit files live on prod from Notepad (not plus plus) over Samba for “xtreme moral” boost
I just commit directly to master with auto-deploy like a real cowboy, yee-haw!
RIP antitrust laws

Eh, not far off
TPB + VPN for many years now, just make sure that killswitch is on, got nabbed once by HBO, fortunately only got a nasty letter, nothing more
So its a bank with video calling where you can also get laid and read right wing misinformation, that is a lot of checked boxes
The difference is those got off the ground
But think of the profit margins, and all the buzzwords our marketing team can use
The extra arm maintains legacy compatibility to not confuse the older users
Its been weird, I feel like I’m kind of missing something, same kind of FOMO, but when I actually go back to it I see I’m not missing anything at all. Lemmy is pretty neat, but haven’t fully gotten the hang of it yet. Just discovered how to sub another instance today, so progress is being made.
I’ve been back to reddit probably 20 times in the past 3 months, and every time I’m waiting for the dopamine hit, and it never kicks in. Its just flat now, the content just isn’t that interesting. Its all pretty cringy, and I’m pretty much over it, just going there out of habit, chasing the content dragon that no longer exists.
Facebook is useless, Xitter is dead, reddit lost its way. I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, but it seems to be missing the viral content, ultra red-hot breaking news that reddit used to have.
The tl;dr seems to be this was a money losing account for Cloudflare, and they couldn’t squeeze them so they weaseled out with some TOS violation to prevent losing money on what was promised to be unlimited traffic, they have better lawyers so they’re not worried.
Cloudflare 100% in the wrong here, they are closing accounts for TOS violations when they are just unprofitable, I would very strongly consider how tightly to couple with them knowing how cavalier they are about squashing small businesses.
If enough of these happen though, they’ll get destroyed by a class action lawsuit, and they’d deserve every bit of it
