Quip of the Year: What do PayPal Honey and ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini have in common? They're both designed to waste your time with crap that doesn't work most of the time.

My Short Letter to Linus Sebastian on Louis Rossmann’s “Linus says adblock is piracy: is he right?” Video

 |  ESTIMATED READING TIME:  LESS THAN A MINUTE

Feel free to watch Louis Rossmann's video through here.

Dear Linus Sebastian,

I'm an avid pirate, and the FBI has my back. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with them, and make sure you bring some maple syrup while you're at it.

I don't just block ads though. If I see something I don't like on the frontend of any website, I make sure it's out of my sight for good. If I notice any dark pattern or malicious A/B testing of any kind, I get rid of it, period. Someone who's pretending to know what they're talking about while hiding behind a couple of fat geeks wouldn't get it.

People with a wife and kids can justify corporate shilling left and right, and yet still have the nerve to preach about morals; if that's not hypocritical, I honestly don't know what is.

“With great power comes great responsibility” hides the dark truth about human nature; if anything, it should be: “With more greed comes less incentive to take responsibility for anything.”

Enjoy your constant shameful plugs. Hope your kids and wife are happy “you're providing value” to the community — whatever the fuck that is.

Sincerely,
AhmedNSane ‍☠
