UBO and custom DNS works for me in FF. Sometimes I still get blocked so off to an Invidious instance I go (and they're ad-free too) to watch whatever content I was trying to view.
ETA lots of people use DNS to proxy to Albania which yt doesn't run ads for that region, they report it works fine but I haven't tried it personally
Like most any paid VPN service they need to track bandwidth usage somewhat. They can't see what you're accessing but they can see how much of whatever it is. Windscribe also offers a free 10gb/mo plan so they do track it for that purpose as well, much like any VPN with a free tier would.
Swindled - Mostly white-collar true crime with dark humor and disdain aplenty.
404 Media - The folks who used to do the Cyber podcast before they left VICE and are doing far better work, indy.
Better Offline - Another tech podcast by Ed Zitron. He loves tech and can't stand how fucked up the tech-bros are making the whole thing, at our collective expense.
Shopify is already long gone. More pointing out how corruption follows the money. Nobody in sales of a top company is unaware of the fuckery going on inside said company.
A middle ground I do often is buy frozen pizzas and then add my own extra toppings. They're usually so cheap and skimp anyhow that I look at it like buying a starter pizza shell.
Given that all Lemmy instances are run by private individuals you should probably think about using a vpn (or dns proxy at the very least) to obfuscate your true location and data. This applies to any mainstream or corporate social media platform, obv.
They're anti-tax and pro-tarif. They've been firing Canadian support workers and devs for years and outsourcing overseas. And they've been hiding money in places like Ireland (a tax haven) by opening hubs there.
They are only still in Canada on paper at this point anyhow. Fuck them, go hang out with the wall street bros.
You really seem to know what you're talking about so I probably don't have to link you to the article about Fanta which Coca-Cola (as you say, listed on the US Stock Exchange) made the "drink of the nazis" and profited bigtime from.
IBM had major contracts with the nazis and developed some of the earliest rudimentary card computing tech to keep track of all the interred jews in the camps. I bet you knew that as well. IBM wouldn't be around today without those contracts and that early tech (and the money it brought in).
What the actual fuck do you have against potted plants that you would use that as an insult anyway.
Look up how IBM, Coca Cola and Volkswagen (among many, many other companies that are very much still established to this day) got their boom-times during WW2 by supporting both the allies and the fash at the same time. They profited from everything that happened, in every way, and continue to do so.
On Mac I've found Safari gets thru every time for some reason where chrome and Firefox do not. I might have the prevent IP tracking setting enabled or whatever but I never have to turn off my VPN (nor sign in) if the other browsers get flagged. Ymmv.
