OMG i just reckoned why i cringe every time i hear MORONGO CASINO: all i hear is MORÓN GO! (moron, go).

capitalists actually named a casino by the command they’re too chickenshit to tell their marks to their faces.

@psilocervine I beg to differenciate:

It's just that for #IndieDevs #Marketing is the key to success.

Obviously it doesn't make sense to do a #macOS-exclusive:

  • Some games did #iOS-exclusivity due to lower #Piracy rates than #Android.

  • #AppleArcade is a working way to squeeze revenue out of an old title that is is the sub-$1 bargain bin at Steam and where everyone has closed the books on as in 'nice to have some revenue, but we ain't do much more about it' without going #PayToLoose or shoving it full of #ads and "#Microtransactions"...

I'd say if one's already using a multi-platform-engine then clicking "export to #Mac" is an option.

I should add in your "my filters" you want to add this so YouTube's anti-ad blocker will not get in your way.

You will, however, not be able to scroll down and read comments (only downside).

How to block Ads on YouTube?

In uBlock add this to your custom filters:

```
www.youtube.com##tp-yt-paper-dialog.ytd-popup-container.style-scope
www.youtube.com##.opened
```

You will not be able to scroll down and see comments, but that overlay telling you that you must disable your ad blocker, or preventing you from play videos will be gone.

I am using uBlock Origin with Privacy Badger within Vivaldi browser.

If you look something up on Google and none of the first results fit exactly what you're looking for, don't beat yourself up. You're not doing anything wrong. Google search is optimized for its customers (advertisers), not the user (you).

missed Pete Alonso’s historic homerun, so am parked on my sofa watching this #Mets game. because it’s on the Mets’ own cable #tv channel, they’ve been churning thru the same 2-3 insurance company #ads on every break.

one of them is for a company called SILEC(?). sweartagawd, these predators been peddling the same annuities “products” for #babyBoomers for like 20 years now.

most Boomers are too old for their crap. you know who aren't? GenXers.

may they go bankrupt without our money.

I absolutely love RSS! It’s like having a personal internet librarian — quietly bringing you the latest from your favorite sites. No algorithms, no ads, no FOMO. Just pure content, on your terms.

LinkedIn changed how they code their landing page and I needed to adjust my uBlock Origin rules to hide the cluttered up "news" (really, ads) feed they put down the side of the page. If like me you want an uncluttered experience and use uBlock Origin, here's a rule that hides that feed:

This post is not an invitation to scold me for using LinkedIn or Microsoft products, nor to suggest I leave it or find alternatives.

State of Israel increased funding of media production efforts in the West - in other words #propaganda - by 2000%

This is why in the US, France & UK folks are seeing a swarm of television #ads and social media #influencers land on them right now.

#Israel organised ”media training” for influencers, flying them in, even got them talking to soldiers.

Here’s Destiny telling #IDF soldiers that if they want to party wearing some Palestinian’s dress, they do it off-camera:
