Tech nowdays is just a scam, there is no new tech to sell and they know it, I have a 16 years old laptop running on Linux and after a while the browser disabled my add ons without my consent because it said it was not sure they are safe, of course I worked around it and with a code added in the configuration settings the add ons were back again, so basically you can run a 16 year old laptop and browse the Internet just fine with no add ons popping up.
There is no new tech for a long time now! So their only way to sell laptops and pcs is to scam you into thinking that your machine is just outdated because they say so, they same happens with motherboard chips and Microsoft, they are scammers
My favorite part about ad blockers is I forget ads exist until I use a browser without one
* sees YouTube adblocker message*
Oh damn, looks like it’s time to update my adblocker again.
I’ve never got one of those! And I’m just using my browser’s built in ad blocker. Are they still doing it?
Yeah I got them with Brave a few times over the last couple weeks. Unlock in Firefox it’s much rarer.
I love it when the Turn-off Adblocker prompt has a, “I will not turn off AdBlock or I will not support you” text. I click the fuck out of that. Every ad has a chance of being a malicious one that hijacks my control of the browser (these are really prevalent on mobile).
Or it just makes the site absolutely unusable.
I’m pretty sure a method of torture is making people read the mobile version of Fandom and Forbes without Adblock.
I would assume that it could be the brand-new form of torture…People are highly creative when it comes to hurting others.
I would like an ad-blocker that blocks the “Please enable ads pop-ups”
So an ad-blocker-blocker-blocker?
But they might block that with an ad-blocker-blocker-blocker-blocker!
Dog, I posted this today and you’re already stealing it and reposting w/o attribution?
You literally could have just crossposted it.
Well I did crosspost it, it shows in the crosspost chain view
But this was crossposted as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms because of the behavior of the .ml instance admins to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate
Some highlights from the link:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558
CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
Hm, that’s weird that it didn’t show for me. Or at least I wasn’t aware of how to view that chain. Appreciate you sharing the .ml stuff. The fediverse is still a bit much for me, so I appreciate the clarification.
Np, some clients are just weird about it sometimes lol
If you’re looking for a good meme comm that isn’t on world or .ml !memes@sopuli.xyz is a nice vibrant one
Oh damn it, I just realized you mentioned .world as well. That’s the instance I’m on ughhh
.world is fine for the most part, a lot of us are just trying to keep things more distributed amongst smaller instances so that not any one instance can overly dominate with many large comms.
It helps keep things healthier overall for the Threadiverse
Your ad-blocker has popups?
That… completely defeats the point.
I think it’s talking about the sites that try to block your adblocker. They usually will have some kind of pop up warning asking you to disable the adblocker to view the site.
They’re not popups in the traditional sense, but like the cookie preferences popup.
Oh, that makes more sense.
I believe the meme refers to websites giving that popup when they detect an ad blocker
I’m using the “bypass paywalls clean” add-on. It filters out all if the admiral prompts.
