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.

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.

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.

I'm pretty aggressive about filtering out advertising, so I don't see a lot of it. There's still some places where I have to endure it and LinkedIn is one of those.

Whenever I encounter #ads I'm always shocked at how poor the targeting is. Here's someone pissing their money away advertising a job I'll never be qualified to do...

To be really clear: LinkedIn has my full employment history. It knows my qualifications.

#adtech It's not just annoying. It's not very good!
