I watched a video. I couldn't hear them. I Just had to take the anouncer's word.

That guy looks like he has black eye.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, very good.

AWESOME, but the attendees should not have attended. Would have made a bigger statement, tons, if not all, of seats empty.

That website is cancer without an ad block on mobile. Get a better mobile browser mate.

I have ublock origin? Is the filter in the annoyance lists? Maybe I didn't enable them.

I just installed Brave back in the day when it was one of the only mobile browsers with built in adblock. Still works fine and never have to fuck with lists. So I've just left it as default for external links. I don't do much article reading on mobile unless Lemmy links me somewhere so have never bothered to change. I'm sure there are better options though.

Brave tracks you, and then there's the whole crypto thing.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah. I don't do anything on my phone that I don't assume is tracked. It's a good rule to live by. False sense of privacy in things like Signal or otherwise are just that. If you can visually see the text or images on your phone assume it's going to Palantir. If you have a burner phone. It's associated with you if you so much as bring it near your personal phone.

Being paranoid and assuming everything digital is watched is the only real security you can have.

uBlock Origin's element picker allows you to remove that swipe for next article thing permanently. Just tested it and could properly read the article without that trash blocking my screen.
