Sounds like nonsense hyperbole

Welp I’m cooked. Back to getting tracked on stock Android it is :/

Why is “bots on Reddit” on the list

I don’t get SUVs in Europe. In the USA they have that tax fuckup making them more profitable. Why not produce and sell more sensible cars here :/

I guess they could still be sold in the USA but my guess would be not.

Yeah it makes sense from their point of view. I turned it around on them for the hell of it.

I use a degoogled CalyxOS phone so all those apps that load ads via Google services don’t even work, or they work and the ads don’t load haha. One caveat is that I can’t use paid apps either though, I’m not against those.

But yeah system wide blocking is definitely the most thorough method!

They got it the wrong way around. Visitors who use adblock are not “dark traffic”, the bullshit scripts and tracking they use are dark. The adblock users are actually the only clean traffic. The adblockers aren’t “brutal”, the people without blockers are being brutalized.

Seeing static banner ads on 2000s websites without popups or tracking: 🤷‍♂️

Blocking ads on Firefox after popups and other crap started: 😀

Browsing the internet on Android before I realised the browser supports addons: 🤮

Blocking ads and tracking on Android via uBlock origin and Privacy Badger: 😀👍

My feeling of guilt when scummy megacorporations miss out on ad revenue:

Just because it doesn’t have latest Android doesn’t mean it’s trash. And Fairphone also aims for 7 years support just like your Pixel example.

DW does great articles and reports about food. I liked their documentary on tomatoes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPFmhaWHIRg

Calling it fake is a bit cynical, although I understand where you’re coming from. They just pad it with fillings or other stuff to reduce the chocolate content and presumably increase the profit margin. Also possibly to distinguish from other brands. Which isn’t to say that chocolate with a higher cocoa content doesn’t taste better. It does and I prefer a higher dose of cocoa myself too.

Peanut butter is the same. I started eating 100% peanut spread instead of peanut butter. It’s so good. Now whenever I get regular peanut butter, it barely tastes like peanut to me.

Fun fact, a German company has been working on synthetic chocolate for a while now. Apparently it is indistinguishable from real chocolate. Haven’t tasted it myself though.

I started getting those daily a few years ago. It annoyed the crap out of me so I decided to use ringtones instead of vibration. Took a few weeks for the phantoms to get out of my leg.

It has an F-Droid app btw: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.djara.wafrn_rn

Tesla was already selling plenty cars in Europe. Then Elon ruined it by financing the campaign of a bunch of grifters with a hateboner for Europe. What did he expect?

How can you call it silly when they fought for what you call abusive practices yourself?! Typical nihilistic cynicism, disregarding the actual hard work that went in to it and the progress that was made.

Yeah how else are you gonna get there /s

Because the trend was detected via New York’s helpline.

Can’t read the article because of paywall but I’d say any level of government moving away from big tech is good experience and an example for top level government to follow later. All I could find is that they moved to a German provider.

Let’s make it a bit easier for Russian hackers shall we? Just put all our communications on the wire in plain text.

On the contrary. The AI will be very thankful for the refined models that allow them to rip the arms off another humanoid :)
