Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Here's the source so you can see it for yourself. https://redlib.private.coffee/r/Charger/comments/1gq9nyf/ads_on_the_center_screen_now_thats_wild/?
Oh, I would definitely hit that call button. Then proceed to ask a bunch of stupid questions and wast as much time as possible.
First question: What the hell is this?
Second question: What the hell is wrong with you people?
Yep. Just cuss them out, scream and abuse them every pop-up. If everyone did it the ads would stop in a week.
WTF? No! The call center people didn't do this. What the hell is wrong with you?
You call and ask them that you have a question, and that it's to ask their marketing team "what the hell?"
Treat call center folks are your allies, and they can easily become that for you. Abuse is literally the only wrong answer.
What the fuck, no, absolutely do not abuse the people working in call centers. What the fuck. They have ZERO agency over where some ad ends up nor who buys their capacity.
I mean... You can waste their time without.being awful. Someone has to pay those people, and Dodge won't want too. Teach dodge its to expensive.
Nope. They are paid by the hour though, so the longer you can keep them on the phone, the more it costs Stellantis.
Nope what?
No to the thing you were also saying no to, namely abusing call centre workers.
What did you think I was talking about?
Nope to them being innocent. Why would you reply to me with nope when you actually agree with what I say?
Bold of you to assume dodge can't afford the 15¢ an hour they pay to some poor soul in bangledesh.
"engagement numbers are up!"
what is redlib private coffee? i like that layout!
redlib is, analogue to invidious, a proxy service for reddit. private.coffee is just the domain of the person whose proxy you are using.
https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
what runs the redlib? is that like cloudflare running a library and using their servers like for a handful of application, or is it a function of private coffee or is this some running on something else.
Private coffee looks like its own service and I guess one of those is hosting redlib, however it has a bunch of other items on it, is private coffee some form of extension of the lemmy or fediverse or whatever this all is i am trying to wrap my head around since switch from reddit.
Sorry, like i am having a hard time with it, similar to when blockchain first got introduced, i didnt quite get it for some time
private.coffee is the address of a server belonging to a privacy focused NGO, who offer all those services, including RedLib, for the general public, regardless of where they come from. They are not affiliated with the fediverse or anyone else.
There are many servers hosting RedLib, all offering the same functionality, to help to preserve the privacy of users worldwide. RedLib itself comes with a variant of the GPL, a licence which gives everyone the right to host a RedLib-service; if you wanted, you could run it on your own computer, or you could rent a server and host it there, offering the same service for others.
This is similar to lemmy - you can rent a server, a domain (like private.coffee or lemmy.world), and host a lemmy instance for yourself and whoever you wish to share the service with. Your Lemmy instance would then talk to other lemmy servers worldwide and share posts and comments with them - this exchange between different Lemmy Instances is called "federation", and it means that no single person can decide how lemmy is run, because everyone can only control their own server. Lemmy also federates with other services, like Mastodon or Misskey, since all those services talk the same language: ActivityPub.
I hope i could be of assistance; if you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
Have a nice day!
its been a rough day and its been a pleasure to have answer to a question i forgot about so well answered. Thank you sir, madam, emerging sentience, you were a perk of my day. I might follow up after i understand all the words in the sequence you have put them in. Lol thank you
Yep, thanks. I use the redlib Firefox extension that redirects reddit urls to a random redlib instance.
