Aside from the other mentioned reasons, browsers can have ad blockers installed. The reddit mobile app ensures they can monetize. [edit] now that I think of it, probably the same r…

Aside from a few things that were already mentioned here, I just started paying for sr.ht from sircmpwn. I’m a bit weary to completely replace my Github account since it’s in alpha…

Only read the quotes on the article, but the comments from the engineer are much tamer than the headline makes it out to be.

Reminds me of Mao, where the rules of the game are unspoken and you have to learn the rules by playing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_(card_game)
