Not surprised that its growing. The web is unusable without an ad blocker and its only getting worse, and will continue to get worse every month.

Incentivize intelligence. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 418_im_a_teapot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (3 children) I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) adtech is nothing new or exotic.

I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line. I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago Oh I’m fully aware people can specialize their intelligence, focusing so much on some areas they neglect others and fall behind. However, that’s also a choice they made. That unbalanced tech tree was their own doing. permalink fedilink source parent
