myspace is a good point but also is kind of a dated reference if only because fewer and fewer people actually access the internet on an actual personal computer (instead of a phone) anymore so i hope you can use that wysiwyg editor or series of text boxes on a 6" screen.

raminasi posted:i will never stopped being amused by the characterization of these incidents as "exploits". the agreement is intentionally that whoever has the majority of the magic beans gets to control all the magic beans. this was working exactly as designed! i do go even further and dispute the idea of theft of crypto being real, if the ledger is the entire definition of ownership what are you doing invoking societal rules against it?

I set up a google sites page recently for a local project and I’m shocked how invisible it is in google search. searching specifically for the title of the page returns pages that link to it on other sites but not it, and it’s not common enough to get seo’d or gpt’d. even the fb page for it is indexed but google sites isn’t maybe sites got used for spam or maybe its an antitrust thing, but Google has a history of like fifteen years of activity on my account, they could figure out I wasn’t a cialis scammer also google analytics plugin for sites is broken, afaik lol

new firms in toucherland are created by peeps quitting lovely jobs and getting new ones by starting their own. therefore a business with like 50 employees such as craigslist, most of them seriously rich and with long tenure, will influence less than a business with 10000 employees with no loyalty therefore, theres a huge selection effect in figgielands (prime, secondus, prc, eurofiggielands) towards dog poo poo business practice bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jun 13, 2023 |

I remember way back in the day someone at google ads telling him if he deleted a few cringey "horrors of porn" articles he could run their ads but the 'tax man decided to keep it real instead
