This is the very opposite of a meet-cute.

Not sure what you mean but maybe you were going for "practicing what they preach"?

YouTube also rejected my report for fake Mrbeast giveaway ads :(

The Stanford Prison Experiment was massively influential. We just learned it was a fraud. in c/science@lemmy.world

Yup. My psychology/sociology classes 5+ years ago were teaching that this experiment was super flawed

Carrying on an old tradition. What features / issues should I work on next? in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world

Thanks! I did know about this one but it only works on communities with short names. If the community has a long name, there is no space left in the top bar that you can tap to scroll to the top. But someone else told me there's a Scroll to top option in the FAB menu, so I've enabled that!

Thank you very much! Sorry for replying so late, I clearly need to work out some of my settings because I didn't know about this option in the FAB and I also didn't get any notifications for replies to my comment 🙃. I've enabled the FAB now with scroll to top option, thanks for taking the time to explain!

IRS plans rollout of free e-file tax return system with invitations to limited taxpayers in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] Alcatorda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep, there actually is a free version that's truly free for some people (Free File), but the company behind TurboTax actively hid it. They instead heavily marketed another version of TurboTax (Free Edition) as "free, free, free!", only to tell people who were already halfway through filing that their taxes were "too complicated" and required large payments after all. Horrible tactics and they were fined for it.

Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Alcatorda@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

I reported a scam ad to YouTube (it said it was a 1000 dollar giveaway to the first I don't know how many people that signed up). When I googled it the top results were all about how it was a scam. Got feedback a few days later: we don't see a problem, the ad is staying up. So they are even knowingly making the choice to show these scams to their users...

I would love a Scroll to top button when browsing an instance, or to have an option to Subscribe without scrolling all the way to the top. I tend to visit a new instance, check out a couple pages, and then subscribe. But by then the Subscribe button is really far away.
