Talk about having the umost integrity to avoid being remunerated for it, not because of the potential corruption it could lead to, but to even avoid the appearence of potential corruption.

Accidentally blocks the money

[-] NewPerspective@lemmy.world 164 points 4 months ago

Then donate to the EFF

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 126 points 4 months ago

They should show ads and get the revenue from them.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 65 points 4 months ago

AdBlock Plus, is that you?

[-] jimp@lemm.ee 56 points 4 months ago

Infinite money hack?

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

And then block those ads

[-] eltimablo@kbin.social 1 points 4 months ago

Ah, the old Ad Adblock Plus strategy.

[-] gibzag@lemmy.world 81 points 4 months ago

Here's why, in case anyone wants to know.

[-] FIST_FILLET@lemmy.ml 45 points 4 months ago

damn, i fully thought it would be for legal reasons. this is just admirable and honest

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 58 points 4 months ago

I do!

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 43 points 4 months ago

Do you also block ads?

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 41 points 4 months ago

I block ads using uBlock. Does that count?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 months ago

Sounds like some sort of back channel loophole. I'm in!

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I don't see why it wouldn't

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 16 points 4 months ago

I prefere cash

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 months ago

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 11 points 4 months ago

How would I, err I mean, how would they get one?

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago

They would have to download & install this

https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/

They could also watch videos from mental outlaw about monero.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

I'd rather not have the monero then tbqh

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 46 points 4 months ago

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY UBLOCK

[-] resetbypeer@lemmy.world 45 points 4 months ago

[-] LIFEFORM@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

This just makes me sad about Bernard Cribbins again. RIP 🫡

[-] jimp@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

[-] orl0pl@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

You can still donate your time

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 months ago

Yeah but I'm dumb as shit so my time is worthless.

[-] conti473@thelemmy.club 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 24 points 4 months ago

[-] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 23 points 4 months ago
