Losing privacy for convenience has been happening. We use GPS on our smart phones for better directions. We install listening devices to add things to shopping carts and to play music by voice. We install cloud security cameras at home. We accept free WiFi in stores which gives them our cell phone info and our location. We use digital cash instead of physical cash. We buy things online rather than going to the store. Every device, like a toaster, has a MAC address.
FreeBSD doesn’t have desktop environment built in. So maybe running from command line or installation is a lot faster.
BSD might be faster but companies choose BSD because the BSD License is much more flexible than the Linux General Public License. Apple was even able to create their own license, the APSL. They would not be able to do that using Linux.
Yes, that is adding controls and using a database from the SponsorBlock server.
What I mean is a plugin cannot see the video. Like you can’t write
if(screen == adScreen) {
then skipToNextSegment();
}
The plugin isn’t reading the video, it is getting info from a database. For AI or machine learning to work ad injection, which might change for every user, doing what SponsorBlock is doing is not enough.
Plugins can add controls and it can download videos, but plugins can’t interact with videos directly I think.
Maybe use the Youtube API closed captions and figure out the patterns for ads that way?

It is down for me though.
Worldwide, Mario is more recognizable than the mouse. Nintendo is going to start their own movie studio soon. They are copying the blueprint set out by Disney.
Me complaining about how Amazon Prime Video is complete trash.
Out of all the streaming services, Amazon is the fucking worst.
In the days of DVDs, Blockbusters and Netflix sending out DVDs, this was mostly used to rip DVDs.
I was watching a show on Amazon Prime and they added in unskippable ads. On top of that it kept on buffering on me.
Why would I subject myself to that? Why should anyone?
If Nintendo stays consistent, they went after Yuzu because they were accepting donations. They went after ROM sites that had advertising. They left everyone else alone if they aren’t making money off their games. Right now Ryujinx has a Patreon page…

Looking online at similar situations people had their membership canceled by management. Other cases showed bring able to enter by a phone number, by their old tag, or ID verification. Looks like it happened for people whose app kept on crashing or a work phone that wouldn’t allow installs.
Which gym would just keep charging you if you said you can’t get in?
So if you can’t get in a gym because of a technology they added after you signed, they will just continue to charge you?
That’s what you think will happen?
This isn’t a magic trick. This is more about pushing and seeing how far they would bend.
Like what you said, if all else it’s a way out of the stupid agreements with gyms.
Bring them a dumb phone. Ask them to install the app on it for you. Tell then you are not buying a new phone just to use the gym.
It is creeping. If your neighbor goes outside in public and you stare at her from your window blinds, with the lights out just so you can see her ankles twice a day. Yes, she is in public and you are only looking, but the obsession is not normal behavior.
Thanks for this.
When Google said they were stopping 3rd party cookies, I thought it was just a simple security setting. The new system, Protected Audience, seems like 3rd party cookies without the whack-a-mole approach of listing every cookie advertisers can take, especially since there is nothing stopping data collectors from extracting data from it, like what Mozilla said in the article.
Hopefully there are fake data dumpers or cleaners for Protected Audience which would reduce the effectiveness of this system but looking how the Chrome team treats browser extensions, I doubt it.
I don’t have this issue. I was just curious if chnaging DNS would fix the issue for OP.
Thank you for the link though.
Technically we are just keeping the waters clean of unusable, useless garbage. The ad corps are invading our waters.
