Watching yet another silly ad, I was thinking of their accessibility: often sighted folks have the full message but blind won't as they have (at least) 50 percent left behind. Last one is an ad about toilet paper: "She cares for her comfort and for environment, and she loves reading. That's why she uses [toilet paper's name]". Maybe the connection is about recycled materials, but I connect this to unpleasant books: the pages of a book we dislike can be used that way! #accessibility #irony #ads

The YouTube ad placement algorithm can be gross and morbid sometimes.
Just pushed play on a video about the Titan tourist sub implosion and how the bodies were apparently completely destroyed, and got an ad roll featuring bouncy music and robot pool cleaners. Ick.

d'archives et d'ailleurs
C'est le début de la semaine internationale des #archives ! Cette édition #IAW2025 est consacrée aux #ArchivesAccessibles

Des #archives accessibles, en 2025 (environ 10 ans après les lois Valter et Lemaire en France), ce sont, à mon sens, des archives accessibles à toutes les usages et usagers, respectueuses du #domainepublic comme du #droitdauteur, sans filigrane et licences de réutilisation abusive (pour ce que ça rapporte... aka rien).

Et pour cette #journéeinternationaledesarchives, un petit #gifanimé avec un Félix le chat psychédélique.

does anyone know if @GrapheneOS allow #adguard android to filter ads and tracker (https filter) for other app (by putting their CA certificate) or if @GrapheneOS itself can filter those ads / tracker ?

Youtube enshittified more while I was sleeping. It used to be that when I finished watching a video, if I didn’t go back to the home screen and I let the ads at the end play through it would stop on a screen where there’s a suggested video at the top going across the whole top of the screen, then a bunch of little suggested video thumbnail at the bottom.

This morning instead of suggesting a different video it’s an ad for Walmart. Both times (I was going to take a photo but I leaned on my remote & now it’s gone. It looks like an AI version of the TV show or movie. It’s not featuring a product or even Walmart itself, it looks like a video suggestion for a show about a high school reunion or protest or something.)

It’s so bizarre. I can’t think of a situation where someone would choose to shop at Walmart who doesn’t already shop at Walmart just because they saw an ad on YouTube.

Every day I use the #Internet it gets more crap. First we had ads popping up everywhere. Then Google came in and crushed all the good stuff. Now we’re stuck with this AI slop no one asked for.

Remember when pages actually loaded fast? Not bloated with trackers and nonsense. When forums were real communities, not spam factories. When you could browse without being followed by cookies.

The early web was raw and free. Now it’s just corporate garbage and surveillance. The internet used to be a playground, now it’s a prison.

You can visit wiby.me to bring it all back.

Great something I'd hate more than ads!

AI superimposing me into them!

Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads

just saw a smear ad against #Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu by a political action committee funded by #sports #betting milliardaire Michael Rubin.

am almost certain the woman who appears at the end of the ad reciting the obligatory PAC disclaimer is #AI generated. wasn’t just the sped up voice. there was something too uncanny valley about their semblance.

here’s context on what gringo #milliardaires are up to against the first woman mayor of Boston:

🗣 A tax-funded national news outlet should always contain a comment section on every article—🪪 with ID verification to prevent trolls.

If articles miss nuances and/or insights they are so often provided by succinct comments.

🚫 A tax-funded radio station should not be allowed to run ads.

I'd love to listen to classical music radio #Klara, but their ads completely undermine the musical peace of mind.

THE BLOODY #PIRATE MANIFESTO
"No #ads. No #VIP. #No god. Just seed.

Welcome to the Age of Monetized #Piracy.

Where “#free” comes with cookies,
Where “#anonymous” means “newsletter,”
Where every #pirate flag has a price tag sewn in.

You wanted to sail the high seas
They sold you a lifeboat subscription with #ads.

🦷 RULE #1:
If you make money off #piracy you are the #Navy.

#TARGETS:

Ad-plastered “free streaming” sites
→ You click "Play", they load 9 #JavaScript #miners and your ex’s #Facebook ad.
→ Solution: #Kill their #revenue. #uBlock, #TamperMonkey, Empty.gif carpet #bombing.

VIP #Pirate #Accounts
→ They sell stolen #Netflix access like it’s a f***ing bottle service.
→ Solution: #Leak it. #Fork it. #Burn it.

#Darknet Pirate Resellers
→ "Premium Ebook Packs - Only $29 #BTC"
→ Solution: #Doxx. #Spoof. #Blacklist.
(They sell what should be holy. Purify with fire.)

#FAKE #LIBRARIES ARE NOT #LIBERATION.

"#PDF download" — 9 popups later, your #RAM is crying.
"Buy 3 #EPUBs, get 1 free" — you just colonized knowledge.
"#DMCA takedown coming 😭" cry #harder, #bitch.

#Archive it. #Mirror it. #Share it. Don't sell it.

REAL #PIRATES DON’T RUN #ADS.

They #seed.

They #encrypt.

They #disappear.

Every time you monetize piracy, an #FTP server #dies in a basement.

THE #FINAL #RULE:

“If your #piracy has a #profit model,
then our #piracy will include you.”

#Ads? Nuked.
#Subscriptions? Hijacked.
#Privacy policies? Weaponized.

You are not a user. You are a bullet.

“You wanted #torrent #freedom.
They gave you streaming #debt.”
Now take it back. With #fire.

How I feel after becoming #privacy paranoid...
As if being #IT tech person with some knowledge isn't "mystical" enough... :blobcatsweat:

Using uMatrix or advanced mode in uBlock Origin gave me strong "seeing layers of reality/Matrix" vibes.
