Fuck ads at the gas pump (lemmy.world)

Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?

I'm paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?

What the actual fuck

Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?

I've seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers...

You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn't work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)

I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19....

OpenStreetMap?

Yes

I’d really love to help out providing that kind of info. I’m an Uber driver so I’m out on the road all day.

What’s an app I can keep on my phone to add OSM tags. Are those tags stored in a single resource shared by everyone, like a blockchain or something? Or are there separate competing sets of OSM tags?

Street complete is the app normally used for mapping. However there isn't a place to enter this information

Cool. I like the idea!

Though I don't drive, I adore the general usefulness of the OSM project, and would find that sort of stuff very useful if I had an ICE car.

Unlike Google Maps, OSM is just as useful if you don't drive. I love it for walking and cycling, it's got all the little paths, categorized correctly.
