in the absence of alternatives, there are enormous economic incentives for advertisers to try to bypass these countermeasures, leading to a perpetual arms race that we may not win

Fuck off with that defeatist shit Mozilla, don't decide for us.

Fuckers killed rif is fun and I was gone, once they took the api away you could see the entire project it was already well enshittified. Had an account of almost 20 years too.

I know that and you can keep the others. Take also the new chrome version of ublock origin for manifest v3

[–] zecg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The web does without ublock origin.

I know, and the last time I saw it it was just complete buggy shit with a different UI and nowhere near feature parity.

  • Firefox with ublock and a normal engine

  • Newpipe for downloading stuff off YT

  • OSMand for offline navigation

  • f-droid for foss software

  • Rethink to carefully ban everything that doesn't need internet from connecting

  • a phone with a nice amoled screen and all-day quickcharging battery that costs 180€ (motorola g52)

  • not one ad anywhere

a better question is, why would I want anything else? An iphone seems like a sharp downgrade.

We have your last example in Croatia, usually told as: "they who don't have it in the head, have it in the legs"

Wine so bad nowadays, you have to turn your nose off

Old Shriekback, certainly, but they had some success then, so let's talk new Shriekback. How are these not considered modern rock classics by boomers everywhere I don't understand:

Shriekback - And The Rain

Shriekback - The Fire Has Brought Us Together

Shriekback - 37

Then there's The Sparks, who seem to have a measure of success with 100k views, but also are sadly underrated these days, they are Devoing like it's going out of style, which it is. Nothing is as good as they say it is.

These fuckers are an acquired taste, but try them and you'll be praising The Adapter

Chilly's rap. Chilly's existential rap.

This live performance of Avishai Cohen's Remembering.

Wicked Light, what a song.

This craziness from Zorn's Book of Angels.

This performance of Broken Mirror by MM&W

Edit: this (now unlisted) performance of Sunrise by the latest incarnation of Korai Orom

I hate fucking gboard. I use it, but I hate it. It ballooned from 13MB to more than a hundred now, but I was still using it, with Rethink to block its internet access, but new versions started lagging if they can't connect. So I had to revert to the version that came with my phone, it's small and at least works even if it's cut off from the internet. Fuck you Google for enshittifying a core part of the OS.
