You apparently want him to do illegal things because he can now get away with it?

Uh what… How do you figure?
Even if it weren’t, 10 minutes of scrolling confirms it’s true
Uh I didn’t…
Ads work. It’s a fact. Just because it’s a sad fact doesn’t mean I want you to be sad.
The data is very clear… Ads work. They absolutely shouldn’t almost ever, but they do. With the cornucopia of analytics available, companies have long been able to see if their ads work, and if they didn’t, they would’ve stopped long ago. Hell even before the Internet they had ways to prove ads work.
edit: gotta say it’s pretty sad that so many simpletons downvoted this. Ya know, ads working is something that I hate. I hate ads. I want them all to go away. I’m simply stating a well known fact: they absolutely work, even on people like you and I who do our best to block and ignore them.
You’re pretty fragile if that fact upsets you enough to shoot the messenger.
The person you’re explaining websites to is a web developer and they are correct. There being a ton of websites needlessly dependent on JavaScript is well known and long lived.
They don’t work? How naive.

Just goes to show if you’re an actual good guy, you get the shaft (Snowden), but if you’re a rapist who repeatedly helps fascists, you have hope.
Seriously though – how the fuck did Apple get away with trying to be a monopoly 24/7 for 17 years? The iPhone launch and everything since could not have been clearer.
Only took them 17 years.
The first 3 or 4 used quake 3 engine for sure, but didn’t they switch it at some point?
Edit: nm I found the wiki page on the topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IW_(game_engine)
Tldr; it’s what you said
I have one of those Google streaming devices but I hate giving up my privacy. Also, I saw fast food ads on the device’s home screen one day and I couldn’t disable those. That was the last straw.
So now I use a raspberry pi 5 running arch with Firefox to stream everything to my TV. I even got a remote working with it that works fairly well, moves the mouse and everything. It was a lot of work but now I own my experience and don’t have to give Google my data in that particular way anymore.
Can you explain that? Are you saying there are modern engines using parts of quake 1 source code?
Got it. I was looking at lists of things on wikipedia that it could mean and I did not spot that one. Thanks for the response!
That must have been incredibly satisfying when you figured out the fix! Well done!
Curious – what’s an RCA in this context?
Because morality and norms exist whether those corrupt fucks care about them or not.
