dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Wow this hurts, my whole family is like this and when I bring up the gospel of Firefox+uBlock they laugh at me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

i've had a coworker tell me that it's only fair to watch the ads cos you're getting something free. he was completely sincere about it.

the key to propagnda is not coming off like an evangelizer (i fail at this frequently). just use moments when they are particularly frustrated with their situation to gently remind them that a solution exists.

I exaggerate, it was once or twice that I brought it up. Really they just don't like switching browsers, which is understandable, but maybe they didn't trust that it's really easy to export bookmarks and passwords and all that from Chrome. Otherwise I'm always recommending NewPipe when people get YT ads on Android, which I found people are more receptive to since NP has so many good, exclusive features and people feel it doesn't require any setup.

They can use uBlock Origin Lite on Chrome, which is better than nothing.

I had to install Lite just the other day after my chromebook finally did a forced shutdown (I haven't turned it off for like a year) and Origin stopped working after restart. For my use case at least, there's zero discernible difference between the two.

Revanced is good too, though they may find hard all the manager thing
