Watched the premier episode of #Fallout and #AmazonPrime not only ran ads before the show but interrupted the show 3-4 times to play unskippable ads. š”
Ads before were bad enough, but this is absolutely jarring & bullshit for a service I pay for.
Can't even seem to find any info about an ad-free tier for Canadian subscribers.
Really makes the "oh, it's streaming on Prime" discovery into a disappointment than good news.
@syntaxseed@kboyd I turned off renewal on my Amazon Prime because of this. Iām sure no one is measuring rage over there, but I hope someone is measuring the correlation.
@ramsey Yes, I believe so. (If youāre defining ālifeā as a request/single run.)
I think itās also only the allocations that Zend Engine (or whatever the runtime opcode runner thing is now) knows about, and isnāt guaranteed to be available for reallocation by the OS right away if it goes down. Though, again: itās been a couple mins since Iāve used PHP that deeply, so this might all have changed.
Yesterday was rough. Our yard backs onto a mountain here in AZ. It is visited by a family of wild rabbits. A gopher snake killed a baby and dragged it into the pool, while the mother watched, helpless. The mother left. Later, after we got the snake removed and the yard had calmed down, we noticed two more dead baby rabbits in the pool. We figured that they were hiding out somewhere and then strayed into the pool, looking for their mother. Heartbreaking.
Remember when if the GUI had a toggle, it was actually a toggle control and not a button that sort-of-acts as a toggle control?
And remember when, if you clicked that button, it didnāt move out from under your cursor so that if you try to toggle it again, you didnāt actually accidentally click a DIFFERENT button because the button you want moved?
