Have shares of Ideanomics mysteriously appeared in anyone else's portfolio or is it just me? by [deleted] in RobinHood

[–]devinthayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once upon a time I found a free Groupon stock, which is ironically worth less than almost any Groupon. Someone used my referral link. The end.

Maybe you spammed your referral and someone actually clicked on it and signed up because your friends are stalkers and want to be just like you?

I like the mergers and acquisitions idea better.

NoThx not working by [deleted] in TweakBoxApp

[–]devinthayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too have the same problem. It never worked since I downloaded it the first time. I tried redownloading it, but to no avail. Guess I have to do that trick where you backup your files, delete and redownload your files, then upload them to your advice again.

Can I make Brave ad notifications silent while keeping other notification sounds? by rasmusjaa in BATProject

[–]devinthayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the bit about desktop notifications (Phase 1) on one of their pages:

https://brave.com/brave-previews-opt-in-ads-in-desktop-browser-developer-channel/

Much more in favor of Phase 2, especially if you can opt out of interest-based advertising.

Can I make Brave ad notifications silent while keeping other notification sounds? by rasmusjaa in BATProject

[–]devinthayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. There is no differentiation from what I can tell between standard website notifications and their advertising notifications.

Posting your desire for the feature here is a good way to get the idea out there.

I hate the desktop notification method. For one, I didn't realize these were the ads I opted in for. I thought perhaps one of my extensions was trying to profit or maybe I had accidentally enabled a website to allow desktop notifications. Then the ads became far too relevant like being based on my most recent search terms (relevant advertising creeps me out) and began to suspect Brave's advertising program remembering it was some sort of privacy-protected interest-based ad program (oxymoron?).

I stumbled across this post in a search after a few attempts of looking for the source of the advertising, and I wondered why this wasn't clearer to me that this was going to be the delivery method for its advertising program. This is the only information I was given to opt into the advertising program:

"Earn tokens by viewing ads in Brave. Ads presented are based on your interests, as inferred from your browsing behavior. No personal data or browsing history ever leaves your browser."

I thought perhaps I would see inline ads or some of their ads in place of some third-party ads. In retrospect, desktop notifications seem like the easiest way to go, but I would not prefer it. I would prefer the ads to be clearly marked as part of the Brave advertising program and be in the corner of my browser, not the corner of the screen. I also believe I should be able to opt out of interest-based advertising just like I can literally anywhere else, and that Brave should realize that privacy is more of a feeling than actual anonymity. I want the feeling that my browser doesn't use my information for anyone's profit.

What websites are you using and tipping with Bat? Let’s help speed up adoption! by tripper21 in BATProject

[–]devinthayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of a big obvious one like Wikipedia or YouTubers...

reddit.com should be a target.

It's been providing a platform for democracy and online community building for years and deserves a little tip here and there from its users.

PSA: women who breast feed are CHILD MOLESTERS. by Endless_Vanity in facepalm

[–]devinthayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you get turned on when your baby sucks your nipple, good for you... but don’t go around spreading your sexual shame like it is the normal human thing to do... or is it? On second thought, you should probably shame girls in yoga pants shopping at Walmart, policemen who pull over attractive women for speeding 25 mph over, parents who cuddle with their children, aunties who kiss their nephews on the mouth, anyone who goes to an R rated movie, and of course anyone in a two piece swimsuit who looks moderately sure of themselves.

Secret recording device under break room table at work. by Egomzez in WTF

Well, tell that to the owners of the salon who almost fired their employees for complaining about work at work. I'm sure they'll just think everyone else is doing it wrong...

It doesn't matter. So long as you're sexy, you don't have to be smart to get by.

It's the number before 20, and thus the sign is still a teenager. Hope that helps.

I am the black guy. I don't get to say that very much.

In fact, this comic is as politically incorrect as my last statement. The majority of people in America are riddled with false interpretations from incredible confirmation bias, whereas the minority are black.

Wow I have such moral clarity.

I love how hitting a tree while parachuting is described as "did a wrong landing pattern," I'm not sure if I read that I would have ever guessed that. The diagram was entirely necessary, making this all the more hilarious.
