  • Looks like Facebook is following youtube with anti-adblock measures.

    Jump

  • How did it backfire for YouTube? According to this source, YouTube has over 2 billion monthly users. Let's assume that a significant portion of this user base is around 10%, as a substantial loss in ad revenues would be necessary for this situation to backfire. That would amount to 200,000,000 users.

    Do we have data confirming that ad-blockers gained approximately 200,000,000 new installations over the past month, or is there any other evidence to support this claim?

  • What VPN do you use and why?

    Jump

  • you can very easily use Mullvad with wireguard in the terminal

    To be fair, same with Proton. OpenVPN and WireGuard configurations are available.

  • Issue with Samsung Odyssey G3 and squashed windows after a period of inactivity

  • Thanks anyway, I'll check it.

  • It's okay. It makes me comfortable knowing that other people are struggling too!

  • Google Chrome's Web Environment Integrity feature has been cancelled

  • We have won the battle, but the war is not over. If one is tired, he or she could employ escapism. But don't blame or poke those, who don't do that.

  • Cats have nearly 300 facial expressions, including a 'play face' they share with humans

    Jump

  • I think that people compare cats to dogs as both are common pets. Dogs are very expressive, while with cats you have to pay attention and spend some effort to learn their behavior and habits. Many people don't have time or interest for that.

  • Privacy = no free speech

    Jump

  • "Turn off your ad blocked to prove that you believe in free speech."

    This is a hilarious level of argumentation. What's quality of their content?

  • These people who think God spoke directly with them terrifies me

    Jump

  • All people are susceptible to manipulation by terrible people.

    Fixed. Religions just put religious leaders in a position, where they have authority to push their ideas. Given that religious people are irrational by definition, it makes them easier to manipulate.

  • Tesla warns that a federal probe into whether it exaggerated the range of its cars may lead to a 'material adverse impact on our business'

  • Socially acceptable way to be toxic.

  • Almost half of Russians say salary does not cover basic spending - survey

    Jump

  • How does this support manifest? I'm asking, because there are no real signs. Russian army is struggling to find soldiers and Putin is afraid to start another wave of mass-mobilization.

    If somebody echoes propaganda, it doesn't mean that they support anything. There are no actions confirming this support.

    There are many more nuances. I suggest reading at least one book on yhe topic of political science and listening to some lectures before coming to conclusions on such a complex matters.

  • Define "we". I don't know anyone doing that, bar impulsive people on social media.

  • Is ProtonVPN worth it?

    Jump

  • From what I’ve heard ProtonVPN isn’t really recommended.

    Why? You can't attack something like that. At least say what you've heard.

  • Major Study Claims to Identify The Root Cause of Obesity: Fructose

    Jump

  • No, the study is talking about other sources of fructose:

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/oby.23920

    The study is not saying that fructose is the root cause of obesity from what I see (search doesn't work properly there). I'm not sure if in such a complex mechanism as a human body a single cause of obesity can exist. Additionally, our bodies differ and a single mutation can change the outcome of the whole process from what I know.

  • Health providers say AI chatbots could improve care. But research says some are perpetuating racism

    Jump

  • I hope you get banned for your hateful and bigoted comments. I also hate people who hate ranch on pizza, but I care about the underrepresented class of people who do. They are humans and deserve all the rights as you or I. I am appalled that this kind of blatant hatred still exists in 2023. You, sir (or ma’am, or whatever pronoun you prefer), are a loathsome person and I’m ashamed to be in the same species as you.

  • Yet another man offended that he's not the center of the world.

  • Invidious vs Piped. Which is better?

    Jump

  • I like the idea of Piped, because I could use it with LibreTube and have same subscriptions on different devices. But since Piped doesn't work at all for me for the past week, I've switched to FreeTube. It works with no issues.

  • Does usage of third party youtube apps necessitate a VPN in the near future?

    Jump

  • I don't see them blocking accounts. What would it achieve? Their goal is to monetize you. By taking you out of the equation, they can't monetize you anymore. You'll probably keep doing what you were doing anonymously or with a new account, so blocking you won't reduce costs either.

    On the other hand, Google is collecting a lot of data. Maybe now they aren't using it very effectively, but sooner or later they might find a key to make YouTube Premium a viable option even for someone like you. By using YouTube and other Google services, you are providing key fragments.
