  • Firefox also has a mobile app with full extension support on Android, including uBlock origin

  • Army and Navy mostly

  • To my knowledge, DNS blockers not only miss a ton of ads, they also trigger several false positives.

    A better solution is to switch to something not chromium like Firefox or whatever alternative the next Linux person to read this comment recommends

  • Man, you have way more confidence in the military not being full of MAGA idiots than I do.

    As someone constantly surrounded by people in the military - they're almost all MAGA idiots, and the ones who aren't are fence sitting "libertarians" who go right wing every time.

  • I had a friend like this in college. His name was AJ. That's it. Just the letters.

    Everyone in the department spent ages trying to guess what it stood for. I managed to glance his ID when we got lunch together once. His name was just AJ. There weren't even periods marking it as an abbreviation.

    Still haven't told anyone though

  • I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we're rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly

  • Funnily enough, the bot everyone identified as tik tok hasn't hit me as far as I'm aware. It's mostly been random LLM bots grabbing data to train.

  • I should specify - I have family of various, but typically quite low, technical skills and of various far distances apart that use the server. So it's either walk them through getting the IP of every device they access with or driving up to about 8 hours away to do it myself.

  • I have family and friends that also access the sites contents, so that's sadly not feasible without getting the IPs from dozens of different devices

  • Thankfully they haven't bricked my modem yet, but it's possibly worth looking into

  • Yeah, desensitizing people to violence is the original argument. It's always "if they're willing to shoot people in video games, why not real life!?" Crap.

    It's been disproven so often that my shitty little uni assigned that research to first year psych students. It's not a thing. Media is a reflection of society, not society itself. Violent societies like violent media. Violent media doesn't create violent societies. Propaganda based media can, but no one's committing murders cause they saw Knives Out or played COD 23

  • My personal website that primarily functions as a front end to my home server has been getting BEAT by these stupid web scrapers. Every couple of days the server is unusable because some web scraper demanded every single possible page and crashed the damn thing

  • Have we looped back around to blaming media for violence again? This was disproven in the 70s with rock, the 80s with dungeons and dragons, the 90s with metal, and the 2000s with anything anti war or America. Can we stop trudging up this argument? Please?

  • Same, but honestly for this joke it makes it funnier

  • I'm gonna second Zenni here. Even my grandmother who wears glasses so thick we're trying to take her license away can order her lenses from them for like $30 with shipping

  • It's mostly because algorithms now push that shit down the rankings. I've seen people on tiktok censoring "hell" and "crap" unironically

  • I think Perl is closer to Esperanto - the vast majority of people will never want to learn it and the people that know it won't stfu about how everyone should use it! And they could all use a shower!

    (I kid... Mostly)

  • Isn't is a bunch of space elves?

  • Just keep it at 0 honestly
