It hasn’t happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

Probably A/B testing.

I'm using Adblock Plus on Edge and have the same experience like you. No reaction from Youtube yet to my adblocker.

I'm pretty sure they were using sarcasm.

For example, I finally learned how something works after months of trying to wrap my head around it. Didn’t end up using it for a few months more, and now I forgot it again. I’m back to square one, trying to relearn things I already learned.

If this is such a frequent problem, start writing down what you've learnt. Get a notetaking app (my personal choice is obsidian) and record any knowledge that took you work to acquire. Then next time you need it you can just check your notes and there it is, instead of having to put all that work into it again.

around the world

fully blocking ad blockers

One of those two has to be false, because I'm still not seeing any anti-adblocker measures on my end.

Fully blocking only if you aren't using uBlock Origin

Not even that, I use Adblock Plus and have no trouble accessing Youtube and watching videos. Didn't even need to update any filters, it just keeps working as-is.

I'm not using the most popular one (I use Adblock Plus, which iirc most people hate) and I can also freely use Youtube with it turned on. So it's not about ublock.

Not surprising, given they were the only ones serious about advertising. We got so many leaflets from them at work and home and I even saw them on Reddit, yet nothing at all on those distribution channels from any other parties. I've seen some billboards by others, but it feels like 80% of the ones I've seen were SVP.

I personally hate them and didn't vote for them, but I don't think it's surprising they have such a big following.

Loved this first episode, perfect adaption imo.

I can see all the girls up to Rin in the visual, except for the next one after the ones announced to be in this season (aka the fifth girlfriend). If they're hiding her from us, could that mean we'll actually get her this season? Not going to say names since I don't want to spoil anyone, but manga readers should know whom I mean.

With regular search, I have to look through all kinds of results before I find something, and often I have to adjust my search parameters until the search engine even understands what I'm looking for.

The AI still needs me to actually confirm what it's saying, but that's checking 1-3 links, not entire search result pages.

It's also just waaaaay easier to talk to my search engine in natural language than keywords imo. I never know what keywords get me to my intended destination, I guess the difference is less big for people that do.

The great thing about Bing Chat compared to other chatbots is that it sources its claims. I always check the sources before trusting it.

What do you mean with broken? Seems to be working fine for me.

If you mean it opens an error page, you probably left the thread open for too long. Upvoting and boosting does bring me to an error page if I do it after walking away from my pc and coming back. But a refresh fixes that.

Zuck is already defederated.

Thing is, as I understand, on kbin, you don’t really get a feed of the people you follow like on mastodon.

There's no dedicated follow feed, yeah, but I noticed posts and threads of followed accounts showing up in my subscribed feed, even though they were made in a community I'm not subscribed to. So I think the follow and subscribed feeds are probably just merged together currently, or rather "following" a user is being treated as just a flavor synonym for subscribing to a user.

kbin can interact with mastodon freely, so if that's something you want to be able to do easily, you might want to switch over from lemmy.

I was thinking you can probably open the user's profile on lemmy and reply to the post from there, but testing that didn't seem to work. I assume that's just federation taking a while though, so I'd say try it anyway. Searching for @name@usersmastodoninstance I mean. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I still use Reddit, I didn't move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I'll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.

There's still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I'll stay on reddit. But I'm doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).

Who owns shitjustworks?

Lemmy really needs an impressum of sorts...

Looking at the post history of the 4 admins of shitjustworks, I assume it's @TheDude. They seem to have made all the posts about the instance, including the first post, and announced the joining of the other admins.

I got a response from them on Reddit:

We didn't know which platform would take off, and we were nervous that because Kbin and Lemmy are so similar one platform might shut down in some sort of consolidation down the road. Also when we made them, each had very serious drawbacks for our media (Lemmy needs a lot of clicking to access the media, while kbin turned any media that wasn't in a 3:4 aspect ratio into a funhouse mirror.) So each of us took a community and somewhere down the line we'll re-evaluate.

I usually try out a ton of shows, but also drop a lot of them as the season goes on.
I'll include a rating giving my current opinion to shows I'm watching, obviously subject to change.

they are blocked in Australia, UK, Ireland, Iran and Afghanistan

Seems to be blocked for a friend from the philippines too iirc. Combined with other replies saying they can access it from some of these, I assume that list is outdated.

I can't post someone else's book on my website and charge 5 bucks to read it.

No, but you can read someone else's book and then later write a book inspired by theirs and sell that.

Which is what ai does, as far as I know.

I'm not trying to argue with the rest of your comment, but that middle part looks like false equivalency to me. "I can do this but not that, so why would ai developers be allowed to do this completely different thing" just has no logic to it.

The AI isn't redistributing copies of even sections of the book, it just learnt from it. It's like when you read books and gain an understanding of how they are structured and such and then you write your own book based on what you've learnt from reading books.
