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 10 months ago

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 126 points 10 months ago

They should show ads and get the revenue from them.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 65 points 10 months ago

AdBlock Plus, is that you?

[-] jimp@lemm.ee 56 points 10 months ago

Infinite money hack?

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

And then block those ads

[-] eltimablo@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, the old Ad Adblock Plus strategy.

[-] gibzag@lemmy.world 81 points 10 months ago

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

[-] FIST_FILLET@lemmy.ml 45 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 25 points 10 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 10 months ago

I do!

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

Do you also block ads?

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 41 points 10 months ago

I block ads using uBlock. Does that count?

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

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

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I don't see why it wouldn't

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 16 points 10 months ago

I prefere cash

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 10 months ago

U have an xmr wallet? 🤔

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

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

[-] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

They would have to download & install this

They could also watch videos from mental outlaw about monero.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I'd rather not have the monero then tbqh

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 46 points 10 months ago

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY UBLOCK

Not all heroes wear capes.

[-] LIFEFORM@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

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

[-] jimp@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

[-] orl0pl@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

You can still donate your time

[-] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] conti473@thelemmy.club 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 10 months ago

[-] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 23 points 10 months ago
