There are literally lawn chairs in Hyde Park in London and if you sit in a dude rocks up and informs you that it costs like $2 per half hour to sit in it.

Can't wait for roaming fees on my oxygen consumption plan.

Is that dude a street scammer?

  • acts like a street scammer

  • puts up a web page about it

That's what "cheeky" means, right?

Literally lawn chairs

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Oh. That sounds like fun. Going round collapsing all the unoccupied chairs, that is.

It used to be like that when I was a wee child in the Paris parks. They stopped it in the early '70s I think. I seem to remember that the fee was 50 centimes back then for 1/2 hour. I've no idea what the current equivalent would be.

So I looked up a random inflation calculator and it works out to 1€ today, taking into account the 684% of inflation.

how are you getting an ad on lemmy ?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Poor guy is doing lemmy all wrong.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

They're using an app which has an ad-supported version. I prefer Jeroba, which is only donation supported, but I'm not gonna stop people from making decisions.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are using an app, which isn't great. Most of the aps don't do formatting correctly, which is a VERY low bar considering how much of Lemmy is text.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Sync does formatting correctly. I came to Lemmy only because I like Sync so much. I paid for the lifetime version of it with Reddit and will probably pay for the lifetime version of this eventually. To each their own wrt how Lemmy is viewed, I guess.

"sure, it seems like a lot but you need the understand the great value you're getting for that $70! Once you agree to a 48 month non-refundable subscription, we will ensure that our representatives do NOT follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says 'did not pay $70'! At that price you can't afford not to subscribe!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says ‘did not pay $70’!

Why not just show ads? Paying the $70 reduces the amount seen. Of course we need lots of personal information to show the right ads. And everything you say or do will be recorded for AI training.

😬 tone it down there, Aldous, that's getting a little too plausible.
