Looks like Youtube is at it again with its antiadblock AB testing bs.

And to think Google used to attract the best minds around the world.

Back in 2022, Walled Culture wrote about a legal case involving ad blockers. These are hugely popular programs: according to recent statistics, around one billion people use ad blockers when they are online. That’s a testament to the importance many people attach to being in control of their browser experience, and to a wide dislike of the ads they are forced to view. The 2022 case concerned […]

Question blocage de pubs : si je veux bloquer les pubs sur une TV samsung (et autres téléphones qui se trouvent dans la maison), sans rentrer dans l'installation d'un serveur pi hole (que je n'ai pas) ni d'une solution compliquée (je ne suis pas un expert technique), il me reste quelle solution ?
Je pensais à un DNS qui fait le job pour moi, mais j'imagine que les solutions sont payantes ?
Bref, #help :)
Peut-être @sebsauvage aurait une idée?

#AdBlock

It is far from perfect, but I wrote a quick guide on setting up an #Openbsd #router

"Building a Simple Router with OpenBSD"

Includes setting up #adblock and avoiding Strict NAT on my Xbox console (hooray for online play!)

I wasn't even affected by whatever antiadblocking shenanigans they were trying to "warn me" about.

Adblocking is working just fine, try harder.

Riprendo un flusso di pensieri avviato qualche giorno fa: tra #adblock, DNS privati, filtri, app offline e quant'altro, l'#Internet di oggi sembra diventata un campo di battaglia dove difendersi da varie entità che cercano di erodere i nostri diritti.
C'è gente che riesce in qualche modo riesce a cavarsela, con un minimo di consapevolezza, ma... L3 altr3? Chi questa consapevolezza non ce l'ha?
Tutto ciò è faticoso, a volte deprimente. Maledetto capitalismo.
