A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You guys see ads? I think you're doing the Internet wrong.

I love how this is smug and offers no advice. Peak substack vibes

uBlock Origin on Firefox or Librewolf works, ~~or you could make a PiHole~~

Edit: Looks like PiHole won't work, still worth setting up for general use though!

Unless I'm mistaken, PiHole won't block Youtube ads because they're served from the same domain as the videos.
