Poorly thought-out Facebook posts are forever; coverage of city council malfeasance from two years ago, not so much.
Here's the truly evil part:
All free-form adverts are supposed to show some kind of sponsored label, though that doesn't appear to be the case on the three posts included in this story. While Leica's shows it, neither Philadelphia post includes a tag indicating it's sponsored content. We understand that's because the Philadelphia posts are no longer boosted by ad spending, so are back to just being normal user posts.
Ad stays up in perpetuity, tag has a shelf life, after which it looks like a normal post. Can you sponsor a post for an hour like it's a seedy motel room?
Also: As these are regular posts with brief decoration, I'd assume uBO might have trouble filtering them out.
For an article that tries to push a groupthink narrative to work, the people using the "discouraged" product need to believe the "encouraged" one has feature parity with zero downsides.
I guarantee that no one is accidentally using Firefox because they're unaware of the alternatives.
This is the sort of deep learning I can see benefiting society, as opposed, to say, summarizing Great Expectations for an essay.
At this point, the goal is to normalize the rhetoric. He's been very effective at being able to downplay things by having said them for years. We know his playbook; he's continuing to follow it.
So, IBM walks into a Nazi bar, and after six drinks, slurrs to the bartender, "What's with all the swastikas?"
Friendly reminder that Thunderbird is a great way to handle multiple email accounts on the desktop.
Last Adobe product I used was CS6. That's what the company stuck with, presumably, to avoid shit like this.
"Not enough people are paying at $11.99. We need to charge more."
Just because landlords think they can push through 16% price hikes doesn't mean everyone got a 16% raise. So they're trying to steer people from uBO by ... enticing them with higher prices?
Here's an idea: How about zero days?
I admittedly don't get how this is even a thing, having bought unlocked phones for prepaid service going on 14 years now. Wait for a sale on a phone, get a high-end device for like $800 (financing always available), and pay $200 once a year for service.
It's appalling to me that people think more than $17/month for cell service is reasonable.
