Ok, me and all others that prefer to block ads on Facebook are leaving... Do Fecebook prefer this way? I already left, now I'm convincing others to leave too, and introduce them to ad block has been a good start.

Except that facebook itself is a malware/spyware that tracks you in N ways that most of us don't know, and share with a lot of people and corporates that we would not want to have access to.

It is simple. Put a price on your product. If facebook is "free", so it has no right to complain about how I use it. Am I obligated to allow their systems and technologies to mess with mine?

AdBlock is not the only opponent of facebook. It's not even the best.

If I could block ads outside virtual world, I would definitely do it. I'd even pay for it. It is not my fault that a behemoth like facebook can't make money off 1.5 billion people without screwing the internet.

It can be a lot less, if what happened in China spreads to more operations. Imo, Uber is going to fail very big.

It is not recent anymore, but I don't think that this flood of "mainstream media" links in hackernews suits well with past demographics. Maybe this forum is changing, but I think it is toward a bad direction. EDIT: And the do

Unfortunately, your case is not the majority. I believe free market would work if it was the case, but it is an utopia, like communism.

It goes to the stock owners pockets, not lost.

Every tax can be fair or unfair, it depends of who is paying. We tend to think that the taxes we pay (or dream of paying some day) are unfair. But Apple would not be Apple if it wasn't an US company. The right time to complain about ta

My Gmail accounts became useless, and everything else killed gtalk (at least for me). Only thing I still use a lot is search, which often lead me to two places: stackoverflow or Wikipedia. I guess it won't take much time until I stop g

Yeah, the use of the word "allegedly" was a clever trick, in the past.

by meira 10y ago
Who said it is inaccurate? I only pointed out.

Allegedly by video. This is the media that asks us to whitelist them on ad blocks.

Or if Facebook claim patent infringement against you. So what he summarised is right.

Because HTML is not a programming language thus you have very limited options to work with.

The same bet Microsoft took against FOSS. I'll stick with the same horse.

And this is a huge business opportunity.

It's a very contraditory move to bet high in AI and block-Adblock tech at the same time.

What is "desktop" computers? In my vision, desktop computers are becoming "development" computers very fast. Day-to-day use with tablets and smartphones are already full of GNU/Linux. It's only a matter of time

I think git has a wonderful UI and mainly UX. I don't think the quality of a sword should be discussed based on the easiness to use to an apprentice. It's good to be a great tool for the ones who master it. And someone can master

Which country is in a worse situation? Venezuela or Ukraine? It's funny how we see only one been bashed by western media.

There are tons of articles covering this mindset. It's exactly part of the problem, "pick up artists".
