- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
It undermines the integrity of the digital advertising ecosystem while providing additional income for website operators.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Switch to AdNauseam.
It clicks ads in addition to blocking them.
- Comment on China’s push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a trap.
- Comment on China’s push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU 2 weeks ago:
Which is faster?
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. You want to misconstrue it as “misinformation” so that you’re automatically correct with no discussion involved and you can censor anyone who disagrees with you.
I’m going to ignore you now.
- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 2 weeks ago:
It would feel odd, but you have to remember we live in a world where Epstein was allowed to get away with what he did until the little people found out.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
I tried giving you an opportunity, but I’m going to block you now.
You people will just respond incessantly until you get what you want, so I’m going to let you have the last word.
Goodbye.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.
You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.
You are going to grasp at whatever straw you can to get rid of people saying things you don’t like.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Does this mean users won’t be able to see videos hosted on other platforms from your instance?
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s true.
It’s my understanding that by federating, you are duplicating the data from the servers you federate with on your own.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 2 weeks ago:
AMD still makes shitty GPUs for an egregious price.
They essentially use Nvidia’s scumbaggery as an excuse to be “slightly less scumbags.”
Their GPU division never had a “Ryzen” moment, and it doesn’t look like they ever will.
They just don’t care.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, once I moved permanently to piracy I’ve noticed I actually have way more games than I know what to do with.
I still haven’t finished BOTW, and there’s also TOTK to play after that. I also haven’t played Skyward Sword ever and I replayed WW and Twilight Princess in the meantime.
Really, I can’t fathom getting excited for digital media at this point. There’s so much to enjoy, I genuinely believe that any sort of “hype” is just consumerism taking hold of unsuspecting individuals.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 2 weeks ago:
Everyone should just move to piracy anyways.
Products cost what we’re willing to pay, not what they cost to produce.
The fact so many people are willing to pay for things they can get for free (while complaining they don’t have enough money) is just another reason why things are the way they are. We’ve been conditioned to be proud of our consumerism at any cost.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t bought a game in years. I don’t own a switch, but I get to play the games for it I want.
At some point, I realized “supporting the devs” was just rhetoric for useful idiots. Most of the money goes to their landlords and delivery apps, anyways.
It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, people. Don’t let consumers on the internet convince you to spend money on things you could be getting for free.
Use your brains before your wallets.
- Comment on Raspi manufacturer discloses sales figures and costs 2 weeks ago:
This should be the norm.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
True.
Peertube has been hamstrung by a very poorly-made design decision early on.
It’s my understanding that peertube copies all of the content from hosts it federates with. That’s a huge waste of storage and the main reason why most peertube instances hardly federate with anything.
Instead, peertube developers should implement the option for servers to duplicate data, or simply load the data through a link to a server that hosts it.
It’s still young and they’ve done a pretty good job with everything except this fundamental flaw. Hopefully if enough people hear about this idea and promote it, we can see it implemented and then Peertube can really take off.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Good.
Let people say what they want and you can ignore them if you don’t like what’s being said.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 2 weeks ago:
Err… does this mean we can get a Mozilla or Thunderbird email address?
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 2 weeks ago:
Where is it being proposed?
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
Yes. I prefer this to the whole “ethical ad” debacle people have had prioritized for them.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
Thanks for doing your part to spread the truth in this sea of lives and FUD.
It’s clear that most people these days are proud consumers with more money than sense. All they care about is looking good in front of their consumerist friends, and they base all of their actions and decisions around what will support that ideology.
As a kid, I thought useful idiots were rare. Now I see it’s the exact opposite.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
I always like this on the premise of charging advertisers money while giving them no audience in return.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
It’s not even available on chrome because google removed it years ago.
They weren’t breaking any rules, but google saw it as a threat and kept it removed since there wasn’t sufficient backlash.
Really wish people would STFU about the “privacy” aspect about this. It gives junk data to trackers because it floods them with all the ads you’re coming across. The main purpose, though, is to charge advertisers money without giving them a service in return.
It’s sad most of you consumers can’t see the real significance of this software, but it really puts into perspective why most people are useful idiots these days.
Consumerism has won.

Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.
I can tell I’m getting old by the amount of proudly-dumb shit I keep reading.
It’s only going to get worse. Sigh.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
Why are you people so concerned about “the data?” Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
This is an effective tool to charge advertisers money without having their ads shoved in our faces. It directly undermines the integrity of the digital advertising ecosystem, and you people are obsessed with “privacy” because your priorities have been decided for you by your oppressors.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
No, he means that’s literally not how IP addresses work. It’s not about “nothing being random.”
You don’t just “pick an IP address” from a list lmao and send it as though it’s not your actual IP. You would need to literally connect to a proxy and send the request through that proxy in order for ads to see an IP different than you own.
My god, are you people trolls or just the next generation taking hold? The dumbing down of Western society is in full force.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been recommending this for awhile, it’s nice to see someone else take up the mantle.
Yes, it clicks ads in addition to blocking them. Google removed it from its addon repository even though it wasn’t breaking any rules. They just removed it and kept it removed because there wasn’t sufficient backlash, the scumbags.
It’s the main reason why I use Firefox these days. it’s clear that the cabal will not allow anything that legitimately threatens their power structure, and make advertising less-effective for the same price is a gut punch they need.
- Comment on Organic Maps migrates to Forgejo due to GitHub account blocked by Microsoft. 3 weeks ago:
Censored for saying:
People get banned for saying men aren’t women. You don’t have a point when mods abuse their power. Looks like my comment was censored for even pointing that out.
Literally just proving me right and the original commenter wrong every time mods abuse their power here.
