  • Oh, they absolutely are capable of telling if you have uBlock Origin installed. However, uBlock is also capable of blocking scripts, so you can make a filter to block whatever part of the scripts on the page it is that detect your adblocker. I've never seen an anti-adblocker that didn't use Javascript, and the great thing about Javascript is that your browser can just... Ignore it.

  • Idk why people are downvoting you, Aplalachia is one of the poorest regions in the United States, where there is little opportunity and a real lack of quality education. On top of that, drugs have ravaged the area, and the people are clinging desperately to a coal industry that is vanishing at a steady rate. Instead of looking for an alternative industry to boost their economy, the people there have doubled down, making some of the villages there literal ghost towns.

    Its a shame too, because they have a beautiful country and a growing tourism industry that wants to take advantage of that. They need to lean real hard into the hospitality side so they can jumpstart their economy.

  • This isn't the last stand. This is the latest stand. While this fight might seem the biggest, never forget it's not the last we'll have to take part in. If this fails, they'll keep coming with some new idea later on down the road in order to deny us our right to privacy. Don't give up. Keep giving them hell every step of the way.

  • If you want to share your thoughts about this travesty with the police chief, then you can do so by emailing him at: GCody@marionks.net.

  • Jackett is pretty good, but you should really check out the *arr suite of apps. And when you do, you'll find Prowlarr is quite a bit better than Jackett for finding just the stuff you want.

  • They can detect you're using a hotspot, if you don't configure the devices connecting to hide it. But without it being one of their phones, they wouldn't have any software barrier to prevent it. They could, however, merely apply a charge to your account.

  • Get ReVanced.

  • I can definitely imagine a functioning world without it. But what you mean is a functioning capitalist world, which yeah, would be impossible without money. That doesn't mean we couldn't have a perfectly functioning post-scarcity world without money, it just wouldn't fit into your narrow idea of what the world should look like.

    And that's not an insult to you, it's something most people suffer from. We've done things one way so long, the idea of doing it any other way is so alien to us, we reject it as impossible. But we've done things before that people thought were impossible.

  • Because that would be a significant fire risk and would definitely result in a lot of people dying over they years. You need to be able to quickly unplug something in an emergency.

  • Yes, they probably would, so long as the work is transformative enough. You wouldn't be the first, or last, author to copy LoTR in their own works.

    This is why you can go on Instagram and find people selling presets that give photos the look of a famous photographer. They advertise them as such. But even though they are trying to sell something that supposedly allows you to copy the style of someone else, it's still legal, because it's transformative enough.

    It doesn't have to make sense, and we don't have to agree with it, but that's how the law works.

  • Except that isn't exactly how neural networks learn. They aren't exactly copying work, they're learning patterns in how humans make those works in order to imitate them. The legal argument these companies are making is that the results from using AI are transformative enough that they qualify as totally new and unique works, and it looks as if that might end up becoming law, depending on how the lawsuits currently going through the courts turn out.

    To be clear, technically an LLM doesn't copy any of the data, nor does it store any data from the works it learns from.

  • It's definitely the most powerful plugin of any kind, for any browser.

  • NoScript blocks scripts per domain. uBlock Origin can block scripts per domain, per site, and per script. So you can block any script from Google across the whole web, except on their own sites, rendering their tracking inoperable. So in this, I'm sorry to say but your opinion is objectively wrong. uBlock has more functionality and finer control than is possible with NoScript. In fact, uBlock is the most powerful security plugin available for browsers. Turn on script blocking and advanced mode, and you don't need anything else to protect your browser.

  • Oh boy, this comment section is gonna be spicy. I can already smell the smoke from the Brave enthusiasts heads exploding.

  • Don't use Tor in any browser except the Tor browser. Since the whole point of Tor is being totally anonymous with no way to identify you, if you're able to be fingerprinted you've broken the whole thing and you shouldn't even bother. And yes, you can be fingerprinted in Brave, with a high reliability. The best browser for resisting fingerprinting is the Tor browser, followed by LibreWolf.

  • I hope you didn't hurt yourself with all that stretching.

  • Don't bother with NoScript. Just use uBlock Origin, it is capable of blocking scripts as well, and with finer control than NoScript is capable of.

  • Those are all things made by the same dev, no? Why would you have a problem with the dev of something you like pointing out their other works?
