Does it include unique IDs for each installation as well? What snitching to Mozilla every single time you launch the browser and a 3rd party analytics company even after disabling everything that can be disabled via settings and config?

TCB13 , 9 months ago to piracy in Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin

Here is my experience with it.

Up until last week I’ve had friends (who also use uBlock Origin, same country) kind of sequentially complaining for about a month about having the videos blocked. For me personally it has been working fine until then, but Friday I got the popup. Today the popup is gone however I get ads but they don’t play video, only sound.

YouTube isn’t rolling out the anti-adblock to everyone. It seems to depend on things like your account, browser, and IP address. And if you’re not logged in or you’re in a private window, you’re safe. As a result, there are a bunch of people saying, “I use XYZ and I haven’t seen an anti-adblock popup yet,” unknowingly spreading misinformation.

What I see with this is that Google might eventually lose more with this new policies than just leaving things as they were. Lets be real, if this shit show continues and they don’t drop it as it becomes increasingly difficult to watch without ads people will start looking for alternative frontends such as Piped or Invidious and that will hinder their ability to harvest data and force ads. What’s the next step Google? DRM protected media?

Yes this is a real concern, this is called “cultural genocide” or destruction and is the kind of thing that expressive regimes do to their history or culture in order to mold generations of people to their desire… I wonder what’s going on with the world right now.

Cultural genocide involves the eradication and destruction of cultural artifacts, such as books, artworks, and structures.[5]

The phrase “cultural destruction” refers to an incidence of a culture being seriously damaged or destroyed as a result of external or internal forces. Cultural destruction was a common feature of the colonial era and the conquest of the Americas.

That options exists, has been there for a while but its not enough. Read the thing you replied to, not having real multiple apps means things such as Window taskbar combination doesn’t work as it should.

Well what are you expecting? Not even between MS Office versions things work sometimes, and after all we’re talking about Excel, the piece of shit software made by some genius team that thinks that having data stored in multiple encodings… Also from the same team you get dates that are stored as strings and parsed live according to whatever computer language / locate you’re using making it a total mess when you’ve to share spreadsheets across languages. Only if there weren’t already good and solid technical solutions used by every developer out there to deal with those kinds of things. UTF-8, ISO dates, timestamps :P

This doesn’t seem geo related as most people I was speaking about share the same country and we’re all tech people so more or less similar setups an abilities do get around things… and we didn’t get all blocked at the same time.

Btw, just so you know, today after updating ublock and whatnot, I’m in a new situation, the youtube popup doesn’t appear anymore however the ads play with sound only / no video.

if they’re using clever and calculated deception to divide people and make helping each other out difficult someone needs to analyze and document exactly how it’s being done.

Sounds like Google doesn’t it? :P

What I see with this is that Google might eventually lose more with this new policies than just leaving things as they were. Lets be real, if this shit show continues I guess I’ll just move to an alternative frontend such as Piped or Invidious and they their ability to harvest data and forced ads will be considerably restricted.

To some degree. If you’ve to collaborate with other who use MS Office and/or use advanced Excel formulas it won’t be enough.

All I see is people “beating around the bush” and whatnot. Here are my two suggestions:

• forum.dirtywarez.com - great for general software, most links are direct download
• www.teamos.xyz - great for custom OS images, Adobe stuff and big stuff that is usually delivered as torrents
• forums.mydigitallife.net - great for clean Windows/Office installers, keys, cracks

Enjoy.

What I know is that all my friends (most of them using ublock origin) have been gradually complaining about YouTube blocking them and I was in the clear until yesterday. I guess they’re gradually rolling the blocks not for everyone at once.

www.cloudlinux.com and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CloudLinux_OS

What else do you need to know? CloudLinux is CentOS based and the best thing that happened to the hosting industry since cPanel. The ideia is that they isolate each cPanel account / customer from each other with very strict policies when it comes to resources, think kind of containerization but done in a better way for shared hosting.

They also have other products that include te ability to upgrade the kernel without reboots and a very solid kernel.

TCB13 , 9 months ago to linux in What is your partitioning strategy to achieve a stable, backup-able and recoverable system?

BTRFS snapshots for sure. Avoid Ext4 at all costs, unreliable and very susceptible to power losses. But frankly I don’t even care, all my data is synced with Syncthing so if things go wrong I’ll simply install a clean OS and sync the data back.
