This one is already in the default
uBlock filters - Badware risks
I also strongly suggest adding big.oisd.nl as a filter list. It’s a large and well maintained domain blocklist (sourced from combining lots of other blocklists) that usually adds lots of these sorts of domains quickly and has very few false positives.
If you want to take it even further, check out the Pro list and Thread Intelligence Feeds list here github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists
These can all be added to a pihole too if you use one.

This is why ublock origin is an essential security tool.

They’ve been using opus for probably around a decade at this point, and in fact YouTube was a pretty early adopter of it and had a large role in popularizing it

How in the fuck could that possibly be seen as reactionary nonsense??? That’s quite concerning if that’s what the moderation is like on this community

When you want the private network to connect to a public IPv6 network
- Comment on New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling 5 months ago:
A lot of the world, especially Africa and south America, was somewhat later in adopting the Internet and has a much smaller supply of IPv4 addresses. People with ISPs there need IPv6 to be directly connectable without CGNAT
- Comment on New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling 5 months ago:
Not at all surprised, motherboard firmware from most vendors has always been a steaming pile of shit code, often not even built to spec.
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 5 months ago:
That’s definitely fair. You’re a far more patient person than I would be, which makes me feel good about being on this instance.
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 5 months ago:
I think it would be reasonable to defederate from blahaj.zone. A majority of the toxic, negative, and aggressive comments I see on Lemmy seem to come from users of either blahaj or hexbear. The admin very intentionally curates a cult-like community by posting provocative posts and then banning everyone who expresses even slight disagreement. They have engaged in and doubled down on false accusations of CP against the lemmynsfw admins, which demonstrates that they are a risk for other instances be federated with. I normally very strongly oppose dedederation, but I think blahaj is a great example of when it makes sense. This is because the admin seems intent on starting drama rather than working with other instances to resolve conflict. It almost feels like some form of religious extremism lol
I of course block the instance from my account to avoid seeing posts from there, but toxic users are still visible on comments.
- Comment on This is just cruel 5 months ago:
The problem primarily is when a niche interest becomes exploited for profit by capitalists and no longer maintains the community-oriented culture it once had.
It will lose aspects of it that make it unique and special but they don’t appeal to the general public, because ultimately making as much profit as possible means attracting as many customers as possible.

- Comment on Study shows AI image-generators being trained on explicit photos of children 5 months ago:
I agree with you in instances where it’s not generating a real person. But there are cases where people use tools like this to generate realistic-looking but fake images of actual, specific real-life children. This is of course abusive to that child. And it’s still bad when it’s done to adults too, it’s sort of a form of defamation.
I really do hope legislation around this issue is narrowly tailored to actual abuse similar to what I described above, but given the “protect the children” nonsense they constantly moan about just about every technology including end to end encryption I’m not very optimistic.
Another thing I wonder about, is if AI could get so realistic that it becomes impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone with actual CSAM (where the image/victim isn’t known so they can’t prove it that way) is guilty, since any image could plausibly be fake. This of course is an issue far beyond just child abuse. It would probably discredit video footage for robberies and that sort of thing too. We really are venturing into the unknown and government isn’t exactly know for adapting to technology…

It bothers me that a circlejerky and oversimplified answer like this one is more highly upvoted than the numerous high effort, highly detailed, and technical explanations for why it happens.
