@downey@floss.social It's extremely frustrating, I've had some services tell me my browser isn't supported when I'm using Vivaldi...trust me, if it works on Chrome, it works on Vivaldi. There's no reason to arbitrarily tell a user their browser doesn't work before...y'know...letting them try it. I hate sites that also want to force me into downloading a certain version of their software based on the OS it detects, or just tell me my OS isnt' supported without letting me download anyway. You aren't always downloading a file on the device you intend to run it on, and virtual machines and wine are also a thing...let me be the one to see if it'll work!

@avi@chitter.xyz I just had this one on another big corporate site the other day, I forget which one though but it's bizarre

@cvtsi2sd@hachyderm.io @avi@chitter.xyz OH yeah it was LinkedIn for me too that's right

@NoraReed@mastodon.social @skyfaller@jawns.club I used the Tier 0 list and I've not seen anything untoward from my single user self hosted instance. Then I just add new stuff occasionally as I see it crop up.

@unitof@merveilles.town I feel like the artists who get featured in the MoMA would love this actually

@Varpie@peculiar.florist @ThistleArts@mastodon.art this is more or less how I feel. It is an ad, 100% it's an ad. Different people have different feelings about different levels of ad. Not all ads are the same. Some people don't tolerate any ads and I think that's a boundary people are allowed to draw where they want it. But most people don't mind this type of ad, where an artist who established themselves in a community shares what they make. I don't think calling it an ad is in conflict with that and I don't think it's unfair to use the word ad, "ad" doesn't have to mean "blinking banner ad that sends me to malware" or "30 second youtube commercial for the worst channels you've ever heard of". People are generally unbothered by seeing an ad for their local coffee shop, but annoyed at seeing the same ad for some AliExpress cleaning gadget every two seconds.

@h5e@tech.lgbt especially, and I cannot stress this enough, in a spreadsheet
