Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.

I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.

That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand… but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.

It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here…

I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review…

By your powers combined

I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see…

Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)

Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.

I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc… but definitely encrypt before upload imo.

Paywall :(

I’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.

On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers… so there’s that.

I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.

I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.

Exactly. You’re being fed HTML etc and then deciding how to render it (or part of it in the case of ad blocking). This isn’t piracy. There’s no rules that come with the HTML in terms of how to render it. Different browsers can render it a number of different ways so how is not rendering part of it any different?

It is indeed a ludicrous idea.

I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.
