Send me $10 and I’ll let you know if this guy is legit or not so you don’t waste your $20!

Research. Trying to kick up information on adblockers and how they function so they can kill the feature once and for all.

A 6 year old can see the contrived plan.

If devs are smart they would poison their data and use the event to troll Google. Wasting their cash.

Sorry but Adguard was never safe as they were always in the pocket of business.

For Apple devices: Wipr Everything else: uBlock Origin

Two independent developers that have not sold out.

Depends on the business model. Take Apple and Amazon. Apple makes most of its cash off hardware sales. As such, Apple will never sell you a $50 Mac hoping to make the money back thru services or ad revenue of any kind. And why their HomePods cost 3x more than any smart speaker.

On the other hand, Amazon doesn’t make money off hardware. They routinely blow out Fire products at insane discounts. A 10th of what Apple charges for a comparable product. Because they make their cash of sales and services. Products are just a conduit to more lucrative services.

You can’t lump every company into the same money making MO. Every company tends to have their own unique angle.

We made the shittiest thing and nobody likes it. We’re all out of ideas.

Mods? I think a lot of people find this dude insufferable.

I feel like theirs is pretty trustworthy given the rest of their service. They also go above and block a bunch of crap like malware and gambling 👍

“The company [Google] claimed that this new API would help combat online fraud and abuse, and that it would do so in a privacy-friendly manner.”

Lied. The word is lied.

But it’s only, like, a handful of rows 🙃

Governments aren’t doing nothing, they are facilitating it all. Because at the end of the day, corporations own them.

If you want to update using cellular only, you need to start the process from your phone. Your watch does not support 400 MB/s transfer rates over cellular. It’s a watch, not an iPhone 15 Pro with hardware ray tracing.

If you want to update the watch OTA, it has to be connected to wifi. Cellular is not fast or reliable enough, ergo why Apple set wifi as the base.

This hasn’t been a thing for ages.

So basically like using Chrome with Bing it sounds like. They don’t even anonymize the query before sending it. Zero privacy.

You gotta go back and look at the definition of “proof” bro.

Most times it defaults to that state and you have to actively turn it off with extra steps.

Behaviour patterns.

Surveillance is less about knowing specifics about one person, but broad trends on large groups. How communities respond.

This is why prices are 2.99 not 3 in many parts of the world.

Why we frame it “free delivery or 10% off for pick up” instead of “10% more for delivery.”

Why all commercials are louder than the content they play from.

Why you’re more likely to pay extra for the same item if it’s packaged nicely.

These are the data points of value to capitalism. And this is why mass surveillance is so dangerous. Because it arms those willing to exploit us with vast amounts of information, most of it unobtainable without the invasion of privacy. It’s these data that makes things like V for Vendetta possible (given the right timing).

Espionage (foreign and domestic) are the byproducts of the Information Age.

Sounds like that was more about stupidity than piracy.
