  slips money disguised as an ad under their door
Then donate to the EFF
They should show ads and get the revenue from them.
- AdBlock Plus, is that you?
- Infinite money hack?
- Thanks for the wisdom, SatansMaggotyCumFart.
  
  Do we have a r/rimjobsteve equivalent here?
- And then block those ads
  
  Ah, the old Ad Adblock Plus strategy.
Here's why, in case anyone wants to know.
- damn, i fully thought it would be for legal reasons. this is just admirable and honest
  
  One of the projects I'm a maintainer of does the same thing. I am very strongly against donations because it can create an unnecessary burden on staff and an expectation by players that we don't want to have happen.
I do!
- Do you also block ads?
  
  I block ads using uBlock. Does that count?
  
  I prefere cash
- U have an xmr wallet? 🤔
  
  How would I, err I mean, how would they get one?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY UBLOCK
Not all heroes wear capes.
This just makes me sad about Bernard Cribbins again. RIP 🫡
- amen
You can still donate your time
- Yeah but I'm dumb as shit so my time is worthless.
  
  Using it and reporting problems is what anyone can do, hopefully someone able to file a proper bugreport will come along.
  
  No one is worthless
@gorhill, a champ
God bless ublock origin without it the ads might be harder to block
I am proud to have this trait in common with Raymond, for the privacy work I do. No donation channels.
I know! They are the fucking best!
