With Firefox + uBlock Origin you can still be Rick Rolled!

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 86 points 2 years ago

I was gonna say, you guys get YouTube ads? I'm still blocking them, so I'm still a target for Rick-rolling.

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I still get ads on my TV unfortunately.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

If it's an android TV, I can't recommend SmartTube enough!

Now you missed a chance to link to Never gonna give you up

Are you sure your adblocker is working? I was having trouble with mine just yesterday when i found out ublock origin has an additional setting you need to click to keep blocking YouTube ads now

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Heh, nice try. Sync for Lemmy saved me with their link preview.

But yes, sometimes you need to go into Ublock Origin's settings and manually update to stay ahead of YouTube's updates to their filter blocking.

Never gonna rickroll you, never gonna let you get rickrolled https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/antirickroll

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Yay! Like 5% of the market can still enjoy the prank.

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

The same 5% that recognize the URL and don't fall for it

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I still get a little chuckle and smirk whenever I see it though.

Good news, everyone! You can self-host the Rickroll via a docker container!

https://github.com/modem7/docker-rickroll

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago

Bad news unfortunately, I’ve been too busy banging rocks together to know what docker is 🗿 :(

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I've come to find Lemmy is the land of the trans-programmer-communist and I'm here for it lol

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

cis-bisexual-programmer-communist here, we demand recognition

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm just a cis tech savvy communist, but I like the cut of your all's jib.

Y'all might even get me off of Windows!

[-] swab148@startrek.website 9 points 2 years ago

You'll be running Arch (btw) before you know it!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I once tried to install Manjaro and I have never managed to break something quite so badly as that Linux install. I have no idea what happened.

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I'm more of a cis-gay-socialist, but I'm friends with a number of trans-programmer-communists!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure docking is gay sex slang for putting penises in penises.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

I verified it. It is an actual thing and it is actually called docking.

I'll be right back, gonna bleach my eyes real quick.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I knew. I just said it in a silly way so poor victims like yourself would get tricked into checking 😛

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 years ago

Awesome example of dickrolling.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Never gonna dick you up, Never gonna cock you down

Never gonna run around and insert you

I’ve just checked with my lawyer and there is no way you can get a penis to fit inside another penis, the size variance simply isn’t great enough between different penises

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's more of a sort of foreskin interlocking thing, really.

Don't ask me why you would do that, I have absolutely no idea 🤷

Btw, maybe don't go to your lawyer for medical questions? Your dermatologist totally bungled that parking ticket dismissal hearing for you, after all..

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I’ll have to check a diagram but that sounds a lot more doable. Looks like the yanks will be left on the sidelines for this one tho - famously low foreskin ownership rates over there.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I recently heard of a straight docking story. Strap not trans. Yes I immediately befriended both people. So no it’s not necessarily gay, but it almost always is

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

docker exec -it rickroll sh -c “echo ‘But…Why…?’”

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

I always look up "rickroll no ads" because of this. Also it's a different YouTube url so those nerds who recognize the rickroll url won't recognize my link

Here's where I learned this trick, they have a lot of other cool stuff too: https://youtu.be/uHgt8giw1LY?feature=shared

[-] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

I just see Rick Astley's face with a play button. The main issue is that modern browsers disallow playing sound without user interaction.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

"XcQ, link stays blue" doesn't make me a nerd. :'(

I mean, I am, but I don't think I'm allowed to be on lemmy if I'm not, so I don't think it's relevant.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

i can’t believe i fell for this

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I always look up "rickroll no ads"

Now that's a red flag right there.

He did an AMA on Reddit, and someone successfully rick rolled him. It was glorious, and he took it in stride.

Skill issue, just use a different video, no one said it had to be the official, monetized one.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Also if your target doesnt have ublock then maybe they dont deserve to get rickrolled 🤔

[-] card797@champserver.net 23 points 2 years ago

It's a privilege not a right.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 20 points 2 years ago

Don't unmonetized videos still play ads sometimes? I seem to remember that being a really questionable conflict of interest issue a while back (because it would mean it's technically more profitable for youtube to demonetize your videos than monetize them).

Long term solution: convince creators to post on PeerTube
