This is nothing user-facing. Microsoft will run that in the background, firewalling it off breaks it, so they'll have to act.

Hm! I will talk to her about that. Also, I can touch her (most of the time), only other people can't. So she's just out of spec "sometimes".

Well, it's up to YouTube to decide what to do, but they shouldn't tell me it's "ad-free" if the only change is that I only see one set of gambling ads and not two.

I'd very much like if gambling sites were not promoted to minors and there would be honesty about VPN providers and their talking points about anonimity and security, yes.

by martin_a 3y ago
Oh yeah, great idea! Let's pay YouTube/Google, so I can view "a note from todays sponsor" about VPN providers, PCB manufacturing services or some game item gambling site faster/more often.

We're not talking about running bare metal in your garage but paying Hetzner or alike 2,50 Euro/month so you're independent from the shenanigans of the automated, AI-"improved" systems of Google. That's a fair

I think that's pretty standard for everybody who runs its own mail server (like "shared webhosting"-running even). Owning your mail should also be standard for everybody in tech, you don't want to rely on Google for some

I had some "Future Trance" CDs that I was listening up and down till I got my first own computer + decent internet and was then hooked up to some 96 kb stream. :-D Really can't say where the break was, where I ditched WinAmp&

I had that warning some days ago, too. It's gone now, not sure what changed in the filter lists.

Never forget that Adblock Plus is a commercial product developed by a company which you can pay to get your ads listed as "acceptable ads" which makes them pass the filtering. uBlock Origin is still probably the best tool for bloc

I think the various dubious ads are worth more than I am.

I did so too. Only that often, that I'm no longer able to report any ads at all.

As with all these threads, don't forget that survivorship bias exists. For everybody in that thread, 100 times the number of people exist that haven't done so well or good at all. Don't feel bad if you're not as successf

I just reserved a room in a Motel One for three nights + breakfasts for 351 Euro. That's not exactly cheap, but I don't think it's really that expensive.
