It’s an old code, but it checks out

You guys are reminding me of all the planning crap and responding I didn’t get done before the holiday break and really need to do.

Even still, use nitter or something if you really have to.

Man stop linking to twitter

Mindlessly consuming “content” is simply a disease.

Agreed. It’s like a lot of other unhealthy addictions.

Maybe dactyloscopy

D-word

Dagnabbit?

Why are you still using Twitter…?

I’m…not seeing the problem here. I’m fine with there being a minimum before a check is issued as long as the amount is reasonable, and $3 seems pretty reasonable.

That’s how it works with a lot of things, including advertising, referrals, etc.

Maybe I’m missing something?

And it’s likely a good bit less than 3

Seems like it works ok to me (kbin here)

It’s big in Japan

We were talking about Fullscreen are that you have to skip or watch, which they don’t have (at least not for me)

There’s some ad on the home screen I agree I don’t want but it’s nowhere near as annoying as on Android TV or FireTV. Mostly it just stays out of my way and lets me do things, and that’s it.

I have a bunch of Rokus and never seen that. That sucks

Roku

I would say it probably won’t go any worse than being bought by EMC, then by Dell, but at the time they were a darling mostly left alone. Now they’re kind of a dying market.

This didn’t really answer the question.

Unless I’m missing it, nowhere in the article or elsewhere did they say that ads only appeared one time.

They said that ads were served for one particular account 50 times (and presumably have data to back that up but I’m not inclined to give them benefit of the doubt). And that media matters had scrolled/refreshed a bunch of times to see whose ads would be displayed. Which seems reasonable to me.

Then TwitX made some claim about “50 out of 50 billion ads served” or something, which is a disingenuous comparison. This was one example of a problem. No one claimed it was the only example, so why would anyone compare against all ads served anywhere?

I wish one of these projects would bring in changes from some fork of emulation station I can’t track down.

I had a handheld that came with some emuelec-based image. That in turn had some version of emulation station that was freaking AWESOME. Had way way more features, including the ability to configure a bunch of things like whether rewind support was enabled, etc. When I moved to the ES:DE one I thought it was a huge downgrade, then realized it’s pretty much the main one everyone uses. I don’t get why they haven’t brought in these other features.

I also haven’t been able to find the fork; I should go look again.

Happy birthday, little one
