    You run around, collect things and then your butt gets bigger? I mean, that is a funny concept at least.

    System level dns filtering for me + ad block in every browser + Lucky patcher offline patch/patch to remove ads + modded clients for anything else. If ads were non intrusive, non invasive, and easily dismissible i wouldn’t have gone scorched earth.

      Sadly, DNS filtering does nothing for YouTube ads as said ads are hosted on the same servers as actual videos.

      Rest sounds good.

            And why’s that? I feel im fairly careful with my phone in terms of security. I see no more danger in rooting it than being logged in as admin/root on any of my home computers.

              your computers are much less secure in general but they also have different security assumptions

              phones are the pinnacle of security in this point in time. rooting them not only breaks but also breaks the security assumptions that apps rely on

              for example I can be sure that no other app has access in my data as an app dev. based on that assumption i might store secrets. which on android/iOS is totally fine (there are better ways but ok)

              you’d never make such an assumption on a pc app. you’d find another way. there’s no such thing as “my data” on desktop. hence you develop around it

              and that’s a reason not to use banking or other critical apps from a pc. a mobile is much more secure

              rooting also bears the issue of being “not intended”. that means that what you use to get root (for example to manage the root permission) is not as much tested as the rest of the operating system and opens up holes which we don’t know about yet

              security is a game of money. as a security researcher, bypassing the sandbox and accessing another apps data, can gain you literally millions

              bypassing the root permission on an already rooted phone will gain a pat in the back and a conference talk at best

    Thank God this meme has “nobody:” on it, otherwise I’d have no idea this was a meme.

        I’m sorry lots of people on here apparently need to be dicks about pretty much anything they’re trying to say… I don’t disagree with them but there must be a less toxic way to say it. Thank you for making new content, Lemmy needs it!

          Don’t worry about it mate.

          Id rather know if one of my jokes/memes was unfunny, even i can kinda see that it was a bit outdated.

    Someone should run the experiment of putting ads up as YouTube videos to see which ones get demonetised for not being advertiser friendly.

      Youtube might just delete that channel, since it “violates the terms of services”.

      Fun fact: Adblock also violates the terms of service, and is probably higher on the priority poll.

    This changelog is exactly what I was talking about a few days ago. It says nothing. Why even bother…

      Considering how many times I’ve seen that exact phrase, I think there is some automated system giving that as a default value if no changelog is manually supplied
