"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."
@tek I have had this exact thought many times, but for some reason, I've never managed to get all the way from being distracted by the thought to actually writing it down and doing something about it. I wonder why. #adhd
Same here. I find ads intolerable, will turn away at first sight, repeated exposure (which is part of the concept!) is like scratching the skin over and over in the same spot.
My city is chock full of them. Horrid screens that play bright images, even with motion. At nearly every bus stop. At every big intersection. Many subway stations are nearly unusable.
Jury: “Guilty of all charges involving campaigns and money.”
Felon: “I got a record amount of donations yesterday!”
Onlookers: “Gasp, I believe him about this!”
Dude is literally a felon for lying about money in the context of a political campaign. Why are you taking his word about the same kind of thing today?
@devontechnologies Do you ever make exceptions for numbers of seats? I have 4 Macs I use exclusively for myself and my own databases: an older Mini home server (e.g. scanner is attached to it), a Studio I use every day for work, a personal MBA I use for all my own stuff, and a work MBP that I only use occasionally because I mainly work from home. I wish I could have DT — and all my data — available everywhere, but can’t justify paying an extra $200.
@tek Well, for reasons you can probably well imagine, we never make any exceptions unless we screwed something up tremendously. We treat all our customers fair and equal 🙂 See also our business principles: https://www.devontechnologies.com/r/principles
I made the mistake of reading the iTerm GitLab comment thread regarding its new optional AI feature. The entitlement over demanding removal of a disabled-by-default feature is astounding.
Also, the number of people saying “as someone working in an Important Job, I can’t even look at it”. I highly doubt that. As the one who actually talks to auditors for a living, I don’t realistically see this being even a blip on their radar.
