This should be common knowledge by now, but there is still a small chance that it's not, so let's make sure it definitely will be.

> "Some of these forced changes in consumption patterns are often explained away by manufacturers and retailers alike with the phrase "Nobody wants that anymore." Laptops with 4:3 or 5:4 screens, for example. Or slightly bulkier laptops but with decent thermal design. Or a laptop with a DVD player that will let me watch one of the many movies I own that's not available on a streaming service."

So. With all the piles of data Google amassed on me, YouTube uses cutting edge machine learning tech to serve me ads of... cars and car services. To me who at most drove 3-4 times per month, eventually sold my car for good, and stopped driving a few years ago. I haven't been googling for or visiting car resources for at least a dozen years. Impressive targeting.

The fediverse is big enough for me to find like-minded people who can teach me new things, but not big enough to be interesting for ad companies and “fast content” creators.
I don’t think I want the fediverse to become mainstream. I like our little bubble of misfits.

HP is putting #ads on their (Microsoft Windows) laptops. Isn't that special?
(why, yes, we are having a Linux installfest next month, see my pinned toot for details)

É uma grande tristeza e frustração pagar Disney Plus pra assistir com propagandas (e sempre as mesmas, ainda. E a gente reclamava da TV aberta na década de 90, bons tempos).
Depois reclamam da pirataria, mas vai tentar finalmente assistir "Ashoka" com comercial do "Apóstolo Paulo" a cada 20 minutos?
É como zapear a TV a cabo de madrugada passando por 5 ou 6 emissoras replicando coisa da IURD 🤮

Sono stufo di subire passivamente #ads e pop-up ogni volta che apro un'app per smartphone.
Dato che uBlock su Firefox e Newpipe fanno il loro mestiere ma non risolvono il problema alla radice, qualcunə sa indicarmi una soluzione efficace (meglio se open source) per bloccare il caricamento delle pubblicità nelle app su Android? Conosco sommariamente #Adguard ma non ho mai approfondito.
Grazie!

the first batch of fuckers dragged to the guillotines should be the “team” behind the MOST MEN OVER THE AGE OF FORTY #tv #ads campaign.
it’s not that they are pulling the same ageist trash they do with women.
it’s not even the fact the models ALL HAVE HAD VERY VISIBLE PLASTIC SURGERY, including those gawdawful cheek implants.
no.
it’s the fact every single "good looking" model have like 10 layers of makeup & light diffusers. heck they might be AI-generated.
they're selling body dysmorphia.
