Cards on the table: for Google money I’d do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it’s an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a “free” product’s bad qualities harder to circumvent isn’t the ethical hill I’m going to die on.
For Google money I’d do it too…but I wouldn’t do a very good job of it
Yeah, I don’t really get the argument here. As much as it sucks, it’s not nearly as morally reprehensible as something like weapons. If you don’t do it someone else will. It’s not something a handful of devs are gonna make a difference in by boycotting and it isn’t worth being fired over or not accepting a job over.
Advertising is absolutely morally reprehensible. It is propaganda that exists only to manipulate people into buying shit they didn’t want or need. And it turns out that mindless consumerism is destroying society and our planet.
I never said it wasn’t morally reprehensible. Only that it’s less morally reprehensible than something like making weapons.
I would take the job just to make sure we can sabotage it. And I’m not even affected by their adblocker detection; I just
yt-dlpand NewPipe the videos.
I would accept “I work for the team that tries to detect ad blockers on YouTube, and slow down the process with bureaucracy.”

Boys, we did it. We made a right with two wrongs!

- Why are you still here?
“You literally said ‘ten’ and then ‘one’, why do you think I’m still here?”
“There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.”

He either said “two” (10) “one” (1) “zero” (0) “why are you still here” (because the guy is unfazed)
or he said “ten” (10) “one” (1) “zero” (0) “why are you still here” (because the guy is confused)I’m guessing the second one occured
Why would you convert to decimal naming conventions when using a binary numbering system? Or do you think numeric values like 42(dec) have inherent names? That’s as silly as thinking that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees or, even worse, 32 degrees.
I’m trying to show that the joke only works as a written premise, and falls apart immediately as a spoken premise as was presented initially.
