I wonder if it’s an SD card failure.

Mine was up for 200 days or so, basically untouched, before I upgraded the hardware.

Why the fuck are ads even profitable? Seriously? Who actually sees an ad and thinks “I’m going to buy this product”? When I see an ad I think “fuck you” and I’m less likely to buy their product.

One indication is that they defederate several hundred instances, far more than any other Lemmy instance does, and some for no apparent reason and with nothing at all objectionable.

They can block other ads, but they can’t block YouTube ads since YouTube ads come from the same domains as the videos.
