Oh, I wasn't aware of that.

For the last couple of years I've been "flirting" with Spotify. It would offer me 3 months of premium for the price of one, I would take it and cancel immediately so I don't forget.

Then lived the happy pirate life for six months or so, and Spotify would come in with the offer. Last time the price was higher but I said what the hell..

Now with this post I was about to uninstall, but I read some comments about services that transfer your playlists, so first things first :))

In the past month I noticed ads inside Viber desktop (it's used a lot here, instead of WhatsApp)

Later I got a call from a friend that his windows defender picked up a trojan in Viber files.. Next day I got it too.

I shit you not, they let out an update with malware, on a popular chat app. I uninstalled and got the next update, with blind trust, I can't migrate atm...

Robots.txt is a compliance standard afaik, more like an advisory guide. It cannot enforce bans on scrapers, it sets some polite boundaries for the website.

I had this discussion recently and my friend pointed out that this also happens with utility workers on in-house visits, I guess cause of the demand there is on their work. At least where I live.

But I can't take it with doctors man. Also it's the only business where you can pay to get insulted or diminished, yet not diagnosed, repeatedly from different specialists (true story)

At my old house, mine was NeverGonnaGiveYouUp. Nobody continued it for all the five years I was there, as far as I could tell :(

If only it worked like that.. Unfortunately the stigma is far greater on the first victim's side, the response would lightly graze the asshole's reputation

I'm shocked and I shouldn't be.. Poor people

Last month I had this random conversation with an old lady while on vacation. She mentioned that quite lightheartedly, that "we bought our house just on our salaries, we worked hard back then and needed to settle down". I wasn't expecting to have to explain to her that this is not such an easy option for us right now. She seemed genuinely surprised and disappointed at the facts and I didn't know whether to feel enraged or amused by her true or not ignorance.

Hello there, happy to be here and leaving reddit. Trying to figure out lemmy.world and fediverse through jerboa and I have a question. In the comments I see some comments with a red, green or light blue line on the left side. I haven't figured out its meaning from any pattern yet, and google didn't help. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks, and I hope I'm making my first post correctly!
