Instagram is testing unskippable "Ad Breaks" lasting 3-5 seconds, disrupting user browsing experience
  • Serious question from someone who isn't terribly technologically literate: if other websites adopt this feature, how will ad blockers adapt? For example, would they be able to fool the site into thinking that you've viewed the ad before you actually scroll down?

  • Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it?
  • There was a time in my life when I was wary of wearing out certain songs, but now I just play them to death if that's what I'm in the mood for. Life's too short to deny yourself the pleasure of hearing a song that you really want to listen to...and if you DO get tired of your current earworm, so much? There's so much great music out there that it shouldn't be long before you discover something new that you can immerse yourself in.

  • TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL 34 COUNTS
  • When the GOP sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are convicted felons.

  • Piracy
  • I once had a class where, day one, the professor said something like, "If you don't want to buy the book, that's fine with me. I can't tell you where to find a copy, but maybe one of your classmates can." Someone raised their hand and started rattling off a few useful websites.

  • Is there a website that collects Donald Trump's most incoherent speeches and tweets?

    Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. I'm looking for a compilation of Trump's most rambling moments (e.g., "Look, having nuclear"; Gettysburg being beautiful; etc.). Does anyone know of any sites that would have something like this? Thank you!

    When was the last time you purchased something at a vending machine?

    I usually avoid them because of the mark-up, but yesterday I was in the mood for a soda and didn't feel like going into a store and interacting with the cashier, so I bought one out of a vending machine. I enjoyed it. What about you? When was the last time you used a vending machine, and what did you buy?

    Soggy cereal is better than hard cereal

    Maybe I have sensitive gums or something like that, but eating the cereal right after I add the milk makes my mouth hurt.

    Right-Wingers Already Have a Wild Conspiracy Theory About Senator Menendez

    “They’re doing this to create the appearance of impartiality so that they can continue their jihad against Donald Trump.”

    When you call Wells Fargo, they play the instrumental intro to Material Girl

    They probably think it's funny, but it's actually a pretty good indictment of their greed.

    Automatically enlarge thumbnails?

    RES has an option called "show images" that automatically enlarges all of the thumbnails on the user's current page. Is there a similar function available on Lemmy?
