Again, if you really want to support creators, buy their stuff and donate. Real money. Anything else is armchair support and worthless.

@TriangleXYV If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have replied to me several times over. Sure sounds like not giving a shit to me.

@TriangleXYV To be fair, it is pretty stupid to not be using adblockers on the modern internet.

@TriangleXYV I mean in the general sense. Most Blips users are like 14 at oldest--this is a major reason I stopped checking in and posting.

@TriangleXYV I wish Blips was filled with fewer children who didn't understand basic concepts. Oh and people larping like it's 2009.

Watching an ad gives a creator two cents. A donation or buying merch gives them several dollars. Do they not teach kids math anymore?

@TriangleXYV No, you use sites filled with shit no one wants to watch. If you want to support people, give them your fucking money. Simple.

@Marcus Given how many malicious, malware-infested ads are out there now? Given how irritatingly common YouTube ads are? A little insane.

@Marcus uBlock has been the go-to for years. I just use the built-in Vivaldi one. (Seriously, how do you exist online without an adblocker?)

@TriangleXYV The ad-driven internet sucks ass. Always use an adblocker. If you want to support Blips, go support Jake's Patreon.

Ordered a new PS/2 mouse! Mine was so worn out, the scroll wheel no longer worked. (And my USB keyboard has a PS/2 port on the side, yes.)

It's """security risks""" that keep people from taking perfectly good 98/2000/XP machines online and making them massively more fun/useful.

@atomyiik Security risks are highly overrated. Pale Moon sucks because websites like to lock it out of working with them.

@Unkowny Good news is, there's a few more than that! Bad news, very little on it is worth reading (other than my posts, of course).
