A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Firefox with uBlock Origin and a Pi-Hole on my home network. When I started getting the "you're using an adblocker" popups I used uBO to select and block those, also. That was maybe two weeks ago.
On my work laptop (which is unfortunately remotely managed), Chrome with uBO and a pick-and-blocked filter for the same popup. I still have my background noise for working.
I also have a Piped install that does a pretty nice job as a front-end.
Yeah, it started giving me the "You have three vidros left" dialogue so I went into yBlock settings, purged the filter cache and updated. Haven't had an issue since.
Google collects and sells massive amounts of data on me simply using their services, I'm already "paying" them for the service I'm not going to sit through 5 minute ads and pretend that's a fair exchange.
