Beh, i casi mi paiono essenzialmente due: o con ads pubblicitari o semplicemente vendendo il suo lavoro. Se la cucina è un hobby, gli ads sarebbero plausibili perché le sue entrate maggiori dipendono da altro, quindi il blog diventa un modo per arrotondare. Ma tu hai detto che lo usa per lavoro, quindi il caso è il secondo: vende il proprio servizio di cucina. Magari a domicilio, chissà.

@nprofile…a8nr ricordo che diversi anni fa esistevano i circuiti di banner, per farsi pubblicità. Era sufficiente accordarsi con un altro sito simile al proprio per uno scambio banner e si era a posto. Certo, le cose sono cambiate, ma lo trovavo un approccio molto più “sano”.
In effetti ora un’azienda dovrebbe affiliarsi ai propri concorrenti, cosa ovviamente non voluta.😅 Ma basterebbe affiliarsi ai siti delle riviste del proprio settore, per esempio. Pubblicità gratis per tutti.

#AI is just like a computer program: it does what the programmer instructed it to do, it learns what it’s feeded. And if you feed it with bullshit, it will just do bullshit.

The main points about #vifm were (for me, of course) one/two panels (like #mc), the possibility to have a preview, some shortcuts which resemble #vi. The main points for #lf were the preview and having 3 columns showing also the previous directory. But in both cases the preview slows down the operations (and as it’s done for all the files/dirs, it may slow down quite a lot) and I don’t need it so often. Actually only one panel is enough, most of the times. #nnn still permits quite easily to ->
