That's me lol! I never use the internet on my phone for anything, unless mine here goes out.

Yeah, I don't use one lol!

Screen readers do not skip ads! If they're there, they still get in the way. There are commands you can use to make things more efficient to navigate, but if the ads take up most of the page, it's just going to be an exercise in r

If I wanted to, I could use reader mode for every page. I could try and find and/or generate an RSS feed for every page, but I would do most of the generating. It's just easier and faster to use an ad blocker on top of my browser,

Thankfully, I don't live in Germany. However, I wouldn't be surprised if platforms like Google/youtube take more agressive moves to ban ad blockers after this. Kind of like the implementation of age verification crap that You

They're assistive technology for me too, as a blind person. They make the modern web easier to navigate! I also use them for privacy reasons, of course!!

That could be a privacy thing. Just make the site text friendly.

I would download that!

by webspinner 1y ago
RSS would be epic for that!

I like them a whole lot! Maybe it's because I'm a screen reader user, but maybe it's because I really like the internet circa 2001. Anyone ever seen the Simpson transcripts page? It's a whole bunch of text!! Probably pre

We all did when we signed up, or if I suppose. Just not the recent ridiculous data training with no optout changes.

OK wow had no idea about the Cryptome guy. I haven't been in the fedi lately.

If you didn't, I was going to.

I love how you used the phrase "Wordpress is dead," and not the really trendy term everyone has been throwing around since January of last year.

by webspinner 1y ago
I keep them straight usually. However, I don't have to. I just use Classic press.

Very true! Oh and I would hope not.

by webspinner 1y ago
Personally, I wouldn't use anything coming out of there right now!

Well... I'm an untested person! I never bought into the hype, because I don't ever do so. In fact, I told friends of mine in 2021 not to do so either. They said they had the test kit on their counter, and were debating on spitting

It's actually more-or-less the big Youtube streamers too. Because no one can keep up with the chat scroll, so ya know, they don't read everything.

I remember seeing this a while ago, but it's a decent alternative to Patreon!

by webspinner 2y ago
I did the same thing, created an Youtube specific account.

I refuse to use a chatbot for search!! I can just type it into a search engine and find it.
53.
by webspinner 2y ago
I don't use that crap for search, or anything for that matter. I also don't use Google lol.

Wow, uBlock origin was making a team working on adblock circumvention tech sweat? I'm sure it makes Google do way more!!
55.
by webspinner 2y ago
I honestly don't understand it either! I'm a screen reader user, and if I had to use the web without adblock, it would take me a lot longer!!! However, I have friends who also use screen readers who do!!

by webspinner 2y ago
You know about adblockers, right??????????? It isn't just YOutube, it's the entire internet these days!!
57.
by webspinner 2y ago
Not yet, lol! I like to use my computer for everything still, hah.
58.
by webspinner 2y ago
Right now, I use adGuard. Any adblocker such as uBlock origin should do this. However they tend to ban uBlock origin, because it's widely known. Or at least when they go after adblock, they go after that one first.

I use linklocker, and pay $12 yearly for it. I would be willing to pay monthly for it, if necessary.

I agree that a breakup would be better! I'm just hoping that Judge Brinkema doesn't get soft on Google. I'm thinking it's going to happen though. They're saying that a full breakup likely won't happen, and
