Doesn't make them less clever.

I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

I've been using NextDNS for a while now. It's great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I've found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.

Free as in freedom. Not free beer.

You gotta admit, it's fun to meme the opposite camp. Whether you are a GUI or CLI person.

What is it with Lemmy and far-[left | right] politics...

They gathered as much data they could on dislikes before it was removed, so it also shows actual numbers on older videos.

Curious, what's wrong with Spotify?

Where I'm from, it's legal to download cracked games so long as you've bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn't a problem, it's treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.

I feel like this has been happening for a few years. Maybe it's age, but I increasingly find better tech related content on HN.

It's also part of what I want to avoid with something GUI-based/low maintenance.

Can vouch for NextDNS too.
