15 hours agoI feel like I am the only person in Texas who didn’t get this alert, and yes I do have my alerts turned on because I normally get every amber alert and panic dismiss them without reading just to make the annoying noise go away.
I don’t mind simple static ads on websites as a way to keep them free to use. The reason I use an ad blocker is because websites use ads that flash, play video/audio, and dynamically resize causing the text you are trying to read to jump around and change, making the site unusable. Even with an adblocker, sometimes the only way to use those sites is with reader mode. I disable the adblocker on sites that display reasonable, mostly static advertising. People putting in the work to make the content deserve to eat.
