You delivered some good points. I also work with publishers.

Ad blockers have had an impact, but I think the bigger driver is that premium demand has migrated spending to connected TV (CTV, showing ads on an Internet connected large screen). Publishers just don’t get the rates they used to for web and mobile inventory, even if they’re doing everything right.

I think when another trendy channel like AI ads straight to your brain or whatever pops up we will see another migration.

I tipped $20. I haven’t drank alcohol for three days and smoked half as much as normal. Saved $20 minimum and thought I’d pass it on to a good cause.

Didn’t notice the option and just tipped! Thanks for your post.

Great read. There’s 70+ million people out there choosing to vote for Trump, why? Even if the answer is complicated you can’t dismiss them all outright.

I see a decent amount of comments painting all republics with one brush. I think it’s low effort and unproductive.

Billie Joe is sober now. Entire band night be sober, at least they don’t drink at shows at all now.

I went from an 07 Escape to a 2023 RAV4. The thing just won’t shut the fuck up. Mike any kinda of parking the detection beeps. Console software is annoying.

Miss my relatively dumb car.

If they are trying to monetize popular NSFW subs they cannot monetize with ads, a paywall would probably just kill the engagement.

If they are trying to compete with OnlyFans and rev share with the sub creator I could maybe see that working.

Interfaced myself, thank you. Also my main feed is now compact, so I guess we’re done here!

I had to select a photo to make this post so I’ve a provided a cat photo.

Awww skeet skeet mutha fuckaaaa

What would you use this feature for?

Widows tend to hang out closer to the ground. I wouldn’t worry much about the rafters.

Darker crevices, debris piles, larger leaning items that go undisturbed for a while.

Sounds like you had a recent hatch in your garage. This is time of year for it. It depends on your risk tolerance. If you have a lot of stuff in your garage that you need to access, I’d probably call a professional. It there aren’t many hiding places for them, I would just vacuum up the ones that I would likely come into contact with.

How many Widows we talking here? They’re common, but if you can see 10+ in one garage that sounds like an infestation you want dealt with professionally.

I don’t see how it could be enforced without this. If you are operating internationally, comply or block your service from regions you cannot legally operate in.

Personally I don’t think Lemmy should comply. It’s an ad free community service with zero PII obligation besides an email and whatever IP you choose to connect from. No one has to be on Lemmy for any common social obligations.

If you want to be forgotten then leave!

Conservatives would counter 10M to stay on the court and consider it a deal.

Yeah just pure profiteering, selling receivers with legal MG serial numbers.

It’s the same BS in California. Handgun roster requires manufacturers complete ‘safety testing’ in order to certify their models approved for sale. Manufacturers largely don’t comply. Naturally, law enforcement is exempt from the same purchasing requirements.

Cops get Gen 5 Glocks while normal folks can purchase Gen 3 models. Then sell them privately to flip for profit.

Limited view tickets were $1500 a piece when TS came to Levi stadium. Bonkers

I don’t have a solid answer for what is considered authentic, but growing up in California there are a few things I look for.

• Is the salsa tasty with a nice balance of spice and aromatics? Great chips are a plus, but making them in house is a PITA so I assume most restaurants use a vendor
• Rice and beans are actually delicious. I prefer refried
• trying to remember the last time I had tacos served in a flour tortilla but that would be a red flag. Corn tortillas should be the default or only option
• weird one but I trust a place that does traditional food cost pricing more. $11.40 enchiladas vs $11.25 where the pricing is less rounded

California has a huge labor shortage. It is extraordinarily expensive to live near any major population center. Agriculture is a huge industry, but many service, hospitality industries, etc. still need and require people living near big areas where the average housing price is 500k+ (this is including 1-2 commute to achieve that price excluding our high gasoline costs)

Who the fuck can sustainably work at or near minimum wage with those costs, paying full taxes.

This is an attempt at a labor policy that keeps all tech people happy they get can go out to dinner on Tuesday night.
