Colloidal

Of your looking for jobs for BS in a peer review magazine, you’re doing it wrong.

You can rebuild elsewhere. It's not easy, but you can build community in another country, if you're willing to integrate in the host culture.

Oof.

Potentially.

I don't know about NZ (or wherever you are), but IP addresses for residential access in the US don't really change all that much. It's... concerning.

You do have a point, but... It's not for nothing. It's to hurt the predatory ad industry. And what you give up isn't much: your IP address and likely the referral (so they know you visited website X that was serving their ad). It's up to you to decide whether that's an acceptable privacy cost to conduct this kind of guerilla ad warfare.

It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don't think it's possible, though.

edit: Just found out from their FAQ:

Does AdNauseam respect the browser's private-browsing/incognito modes?
Yes, AdNauseam does not collect or click Ads that occur on pages loaded in private-browsing or incognito windows, unless manually enabled by the user.

~~functional~~ programmers when they look at their code 2 years later

FTFY

I never quite understood the massive hard-on programmers have for splitting hairs.

I can see exactly one use case: context-aware OCR of code.

Late 80s. Little kid me got picked up from school but dad still had work to do, so I join him at work. He notices I'm bored. Sits me in front of a terminal to their Unix mainframe, opens up Pico. I type in stuff there, happy as a clam. Good times.

I don't know if it was you, but thanks for the initiative.
