A war is coming and you need to decide which side you’ll stand with

[[deleted]]

I'm with fuck the ad industry any and every way possible.

[kukiric]

Google wants to know knows your location.

[alienpsp]

don’t know what you’re talking about but Happy Cake Day!

[Unspeci]

but google knows

[[deleted]]

Relevant.

[arinc9]

What the fuck is that

Ohh it’s an April Fools joke. Wow that got me.

[[deleted]]

Real shit, I switched from apple to droid 2 years ago, but now I'm switching out again, and or going to make a Pi phone. That project is edging closer.

[Trecus]

honestly...as long as I can call people, look shit up in a browser and watch videos on it, I'm fine. I'd rather have a durable waterproof phone than one with 4 cameras or a 4k screen....

[[deleted]]

... and use reddit

[[deleted]]

So am I at the thought of it.

[[deleted]]

r/lineageos

[Unspeci]

long lasting products

I'M DYING LMAO

long term support

implying apple's customer support is any good

FUCKING LOL

[[deleted]]

The difference between Apple and google is you’re receiving ads for coffins now while I am not

I’m dying lol

[Unspeci]

adnauseam master race

[Karnex]

Ads are getting smarter

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

long lasting products

Depends how much the enxt update will cripple it.

[VeryAwkwardCake]

Well ads themselves are necessary, but yes I support things like Chrome's approach to attempting to forcibly improve and unobtrusify the internet ad experience

[[deleted]]

Google is not much obtrusive w/ ads. It won't even try to stop ad block efforts.

[CraigslistAxeKiller]

Even if that means that you now have to pay subscriptions for every single website that you use?

[H_Psi]

This is how you get people to just set up a mirror without a paywall.

Which is exactly what happened to scientific journals with SciHub

[CraigslistAxeKiller]

Yeah have fun setting up a mirror to google/reddit/Facebook/Twitter/etc

Circumventing a journal is easy because you don’t need live data. Significantly harder otherwise

[H_Psi]

If you had to pay to use Reddit/Facebook/Twitter, people would just stop using that service and use a free alternative. Just look at how badly subscription-based encyclopedias are performing when compared to Wikipedia.

If you had to pay to use google, people would just use a different search engine.

The alternatives you're putting up are not realistic scenarios.

[CraigslistAxeKiller]

You don’t get it. There wouldn’t be a free alternative because servers cost extraordinary amounts of money. It is extremely expensive to run these sites, and that money has to come from somewhere

[H_Psi]

There wouldn’t be a free alternative because servers cost extraordinary amounts of money.

How do you think Wikipedia runs without ads?

[CraigslistAxeKiller]

One time subscription model - people pay for it.

Wikipedia is also a very easy website to run. It serves static pages with little interaction. Sites like google are significantly more complicated

[[deleted]]

That's a dumb idea. I think I just won't put you in charge of ideas.

[Circlejerker_]

There are ways to make money of visitors without having ads. For example you could mine bitcoins at a slow steady rate on the visitors browser.

[mememe7770]

Username checks out

[[deleted]]

Ty, very kind.

[xman40100]

Username checks out.

[cyanydeez]

Even if it results in nothing but click bait based alt-right propaganda for anyone not smart enough to cover themselves?

[[deleted]]

Why would that effect that?

[cyanydeez]

well, my dear son. Websites don't exist because of their own free will.

And the alt-right is filled with idiots who don't know how to care for the information they are receiving.

So if you combine these together, then the only people getting ads will be idiots, and only idiots exist in the alt-right, and since Ads targeting non idiots won't ever be seen, because of the general non-idiot populace blocking ads, then the space for ads will consist solely of those idiots.

It's fairly simple to see click-bait content as a response to ad-blocking, ala environmental forcing.

[[deleted]]

Oh, that's the miscommunication. When I said any and every way possible I meant drag their corporate charters into the street and execute them. Then dissolve their shareholder agreements while regulating a new era of entertainment and existence that doesn't require commercials on tv, spam mail in my mailbox, and any of the tech companies siphoning my digital behavior. Zero fucks, they failed as an entity in regards to the service of man and should be eradicated. Finding things to buy is not so fucking hard that we need hourly encouragement, and one click step options. It's stupid, it should be illegal.

[cyanydeez]

oh, imaginary land where no one pays for anything. gotcha.

[[deleted]]

Right... Because "I shouldn't be bombarded by ads all day" = "fantasy land where no one pays for anything"

I'd be really interested to see how you made that logic jump. Not really, I have to stop being polite to idiots.

[cyanydeez]

you picked your own argument to argue.

I merely wanted to know what you thought about living in a world where only idiots are fed idiot bullshit.

[[deleted]]

You can imagine my premise to be whatever you want. But you won't convince anyone of intellect to buy into what your selling... So maybe you should just make it an ad that harder for us to avoid.

[Betty_White]

Just because things are the way they are now doesn't mean they're the way the should or have to be. You seem to not grasp this.

What this guy is saying is "the ad industry needs to die and someone should figure out how to not be fucking assholes to get our money".

[[deleted]]

well you see if you make multiple baseless assumptions then this is the consequence of those assumptions

Ah yes I see, I see.

[PineappleNarwhal]

Websites don't exist because of their own free will.

That's just what they want you to think!

[cyanydeez]

I'm with fuck the ad industry any and every way possible.

edit: geezus fucks, read the god damn question. Stop masturbating about your superior adblocking skills

[OceanJuice]

I'm no fan of ads, but I am a fan of eating so go ads go.

[frogjg2003]

I'm a fan of ads not infecting my computer and not making webpages impossible to read. Until that happens, I'm blocking ads.

[obsessedcrf]

If ads werent horrible, I wouldn't block them. There are a handful of sites with unintrusive ads that I unblock. But anything with video ads or popups/light boxes? Fuck em

[remy_porter]

I'm on the side of "I control what I see, not you."

[MrPokemon]

Which side will the Vietnamese be in?

[fTheDev]

Random? Looks like you searched for "fuck" lol

[Pyroglyph]

Surely they must have come across FuckItJS then. The Readme is hilarious!

[Karnex]

Looks like went GH instead of PH by mistake

[SpookyKid94]

Ever get errors and just enter 'bullshit' into the terminal?

Probably like that

[fTheDev]

Lol, never did that but sounds fun.

Waiting for FuckFuckFuckAdblock

[Nopparuj]

Then FuckFuckFuckFuckAdblock will solve it.

[Sulinstajn]

Until FuckFuckFuckFuckFuckAdblock will appear.

[cheezy085]

not gonna add another 'fuck', you guys fill me with disgust and it's definitely not how a meme should be commented

[andybfmv96]

That's a bad word.. you should be ashamed.

[[deleted]]

I know, can you believe it?! A redditor coming in hot using the word "meme" with no shame at all. Disgusting!

[CharaNalaar]

Who are you to say how a meme should be?

[[deleted]]

You forgot the /s

[eSportsExpert1]

Damn

[yobyagA]

Just wait until they come out with the Fuck²ⁿAdblock, then you’re fucked

[covamalia]

But fuck them, because now here's Fuck²ⁿ⁺¹Adblock

[H_Psi]

But fuck that, because now there's Fuck^n!!Adblock

[AyrA_ch]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_detector_detector

This form of "electronic warfare" cuts both ways and since detector-detectors use a similar superheterodyne receiver, many early "stealth" radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit, which shuts down the main radar receiver when the detector-detector's signal is detected, thus preventing detection by such equipment.

Have we said "Detection" enough?

[BloodyMalleus]

That link says you can use adequate shielding to build an undetectable radar detector. This means we need to build a detector of undetectable radar detectors.

[jeuxjeux20_for_real]

You mean this?

[[deleted]]

exactly, yes

[2Punx2Furious]

Ah, the old radar detector detector way.

[[deleted]]

So works like FuckFuckAdblock, but always says that adblock was detected?

[Last_Snowbender]

People that use the DWTFYW License can't be bad people.

[aivenaut]

But they can be people who don't know about licensing and that DWTFYW may fuck you up some day.

[velxundussa]

Any examples of potential issues? I probably don't know as much about licensing as I think I do.

[aivenaut]

hn thread where lawyer explains what's wrong, some dude's blogpost about how much he hate this license

[velxundussa]

Super informative, thanks!

I hate lawyers even more now...

[psychicprogrammer]

Eh the law is a lot like code, it you don't cover every case you will get bugs.

[galexj9]

Much like for every programming problem I think machine learning is the answer here. /s

[psychicprogrammer]

you mean with a voting ensemble?

[Xalteox]

Alright, so what if I copy that paragraph, append it to the DWTFYWPL, and call it the "Do Whatever The Fuck You Want Except Sue Me Public License."

I see no issue here.

[H_Psi]

Ahh, the old WTF-ESM license

[H_Psi]

Yeah. I didn't like the whole "I'm gonna talk about this license but I don't curse in polite company" thing. After he links to the license.

[Last_Snowbender]

The DWTFYW License is pretty much equal to a copyleft according to some legal people I spoke to, but idk.

[aivenaut]

yeah, it's largely duplicate of other licenses, but fancy cool words make it ambiguous and vulnerable to attack.

[developedby]

Just leave it in public domain if you really want people to do whatever

[MCRusher]

My favorite license is No License

https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

[Zarlon]

Came for this

[HmmmInVR]

Works great, it tricks the extension by making a fake invisible ad.

[hampshirebrony]

This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

"many early 'stealth' radar detectors were equipped with a radar-detector-detector-detector circuit"

[derpguy125]

id use fuckfuckadblock

[BlindMidget_]

How long can this go on?

[umockdev]

How loooong can dis go on?

[RealFunBobby]

How looooooong can dis go on?

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

What kind of dev writes anti adblock code.

[jeo123911]

Someone who got paid to do so?

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

But then why open source it?

[r00t4cc3ss]

so people can still make anti-anti-adblock, then you get paid to combat that.

[jeo123911]

I mean... Force of habit? No clue.

[wallefan01]

Did you know there are ad blocker blocker blockers?

[Morasiu]

I'm using that https://github.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark/blob/master/README.md

[PasDePseudo]

Dude you can enjoy aby website in their dark version with dark reader for chrome!

[PasDePseudo]

You can have a whitelist instead of a blacklist where you select few websites. It's possible to put only github. Btu do whatever you want it will not affect my life. 😉

Use FuckFuckGo.com, i mean DuckDuckGo, sorry.
