This was a fun weekend hack experimenting with the iOS 9 content blocker extension framework. Never got that link on Daring Fireball though!

You built a content blocker that only blocked The Deck?


You are obviously missing the sarcasm.


You are obviously missing who jgruber is.


Should I care? I don't buy into personality cults.


In this case, yes. Not because of personality cults, but because jgruber is the person behind DF.


Never got that link on Daring Fireball though!

Should I care?

Hint: Click his username, and read his profile. We'll wait.


For those who also didn't know: Daring Fireball is apparently a blog about Apple that is authored by jgruber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gruber#Daring_Fireball

I still don't know how jgruber's comment is supposed to catch the sarcasm, but that's probably something going over my head as well.

Edit: From another comment, apparently Daring Fireball is also largest platform to host Deck ads.


Jiminy.


Note: I like TheDeck and what they were trying to do, not to mention I read and support sites like Metafilter and Daring Fireball, but…

Damn, that is a hilarious parody.
