That… Sounds exactly like how every smart asshole describes themselves. Don’t know anything about Linus, just basing that off your description.

The same reason Trump has his own social network.

Didn’t that only start when he was threatened for being kicked off Twitter?

But the other points for censoring ideas make sense.

Why would they self-host and do work when they could just use Threads? It’s not like FB gives a fuck about treasonous political parties.

People care about the color of the bubble, even if you don’t. A LOT of place’s don’t regularly use SMS.

It’s in the article.

uBO team (2 people) should not be responding to questions on reddit or elsewhere. They should just update the filters and post a “extension updated, should work again now”.

In the end, Youtube will win if they want to win. Google can throw unconscionable amounts of money at their techs to fight the adblockers while the volunteers spend their attention and patience.

I don’t understand why the pro China tanked subs would get banned but not the rest.

Same. You can opt in for it doing that.

How would the filters apply to those communities where it’s lewd anime but still technically clothed? I’ve had to block several communities for being what is as close to hentai as you can get.

Why would this work when others get blocked? Is it a novel way to block YT ads that’s not popular? Because I think YT isn’t looking for specific extensions but looking for certain kinds of behavior.

Yeah. Copyright should exist for like, 20 years or so? Or no more than 10 years after the holder’s death so dependent family can adapt. This 90-100 years is bullshit. It doesn’t benefit the creators, it benefits the rights holders. Almost always a corporation profiting off the back of their workers.

What the fuck? First they call out Empress for actually being a man from Bulgaria. Then they drop a transphobic slur. Then they defend DRM and publishers.
I can understand supporting the developers and promoting buying software you enjoy when you can. But one of the big motivations for cracking software is software preservation and removing DRM that harms legit user experiences. So I say again, wtf?

I don’t get how this doesn’t work on all apps and sites. It’s a core functionality of the fediverse. It’s like if a reddit app didn’t let you search for subreddits. Without federation any instance is nigh useless.

My aunt in her late 70s probably is only distantly aware. I wouldn’t be surprised if she turned her tablet around to check.

She’s a huge bigot. Was on reddit as well to the point she got banned. Which is saying something.

Agreed. Not doing the least bit of research and choosing an edgy name makes this seem extremely amateurish.
