Aquaponics is pretty cool.

And this is why you VPN.

You must be the last person on Lemmy still looking at these sites the way they’re displayed by default. Firefox, adblock, no script, pi hole, etc makes all that go away pretty painlessly.

All I want is a real life iteration of J.A.R.V.I.S. and several billion dollars so I can blurt out cool ideas and have them rendered and built in a couple hours.

I’ll be good I promise.

My dyslexic ass

Next time just use your eyes, it’s faster.

Well done

Even on mobile it’s a couple clicks away from being on or off. Saves me more time than it costs when something doesn’t work the way I want.

Well said, and the things you’ve listed are why I’ve begun to de-google myself. After decades of wishing they’d fix certain products and features or compromising just to keep everything under one roof, I’m done with them.

I appreciate the role they played in helping shape the internet, but I won’t be a part of helping them try to kill it.

Hold on what was that you mumbled at the end?

YouTube filtering is fairly unique to YouTube since they serve ads so aggressively so it’s unlikely to help on other sites.

Ideally you’d use both. Something like a pihole to serve as a first wall of defense for the entire network, and then additional things like uBlock Origin for any device with a browser that supports it, for some more granular control.

This is how I keep my home setup.

The pihole has a fairly loose blocking setup because some people in the house need access to things that would normally get blocked and I’m not spending weeks unblocking specific things until everyone is happy.

Behind the pihole everyone has their own suite of browser extensions and software to block what they would like at a much more personal level.
