  • Idk (I’m not op) but I think when people say “can I install Linux on this” everyone knows they mean gnu/Linux. Yes, if I’m picking a container base image obviously alpine is also Linux, and if we’re talking about kernels then Android is too. But if we’re talking about desktop OSes then I think it’s close enough.









  • I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of “best of both worlds” for adblocking. So if it’s some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.

    If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.


  • Far from true depending on where OP lives. High profile sites (e.g. mainstream social media or streaming) can make $ 5-15 USD per user per month if that user is in favourable demographic (mainly living in a rich country, US or EU). A blog without registration will make way less than that, obviously people are viewing way less ads there than sites they stay on for hours, but it’s still much more than $1 per lifetime.

    Google pays as much as 2c per page view for North American viewers in some categories (but realistically more like 0.5c). So $1 is good for a few hundred page views.







  • I agree slurs refer to people, but if you call a Japanese car a “rice cooker” (which is where this comes from) that’s insulting the people…

    And, yeah, at least originally. “Kraut” is one of those things that really has evolved somewhat, especially through krautrock in the 70s and other things. And whether it’s racist is complex depending on definitions and blah blah blah. But it was definitely 100% coined as a slur.
