Dendrobatus Azureus<p>Politics had totally changed, instead of having politicians, you only had puppets for the big tech companies: all those puppets did, was make sure that it's companies kept getting more financially powerful, and kept getting even more invasive, as if that were even possible</p><p>I mean they were a literally up your digestive track already, all the way to your spinkster.</p><p>Don't let me talk about flying; it takes you literally 72 hours to book a ticke; 8 hours a day you have to follow those dreadful procedures of which 90% is just ads, to finally get the seat booked with six screens pointed at you only bombarding you with advertisements.</p><p>Trains were even worse; Walls of screens, almost no place to sit, let alone sit comfortably.<br>In busses they left you alone, but what they did, is make the bus almost totally transparent and make sure that all the of the massive screens at the buildings were pointing at you, giving out all your personal information for everyone else to see, including your menstrual cycle, the size of your prostate, and everything else that's supposed to be medically sealed, just to show you walls and walls of advertisements regarding those medical status parameters.</p><p>And do not think that when you're finally at home sleeping, away from your dreadful job, and asleep that you sleep cycle was normal<br>Remember those devices that implanted in you at Birth? Those devices injected at advertisements in your dreams making your sleep horrific and tiring.</p><p>Suicide rates were skyrocketing; it was normal to lose a friend every month who succumbed to suicide because of the horrific carpet bombing advertisements raids. There were more psychiatrists than regular physicians. Funeral parlors were the only places where business was booming for the private sector, owned by fairly regular people. </p><p>Mercedes-Benz almost exclusively made funeral cars because that's what's sold the most and the best and asked for the most, by those who could still afford cars</p><p>/2</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrigin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/terrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightmare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Elmstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elmstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replacement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aftermath</span></a></p>

Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.</p><p>Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.</p><p>Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!</p><p>There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.</p><p>All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.</p><p>Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.</p><p>Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.</p><p>Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.</p><p>And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.</p><p>There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.</p><p>All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads</p><p>^Z</p><p>/1</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrigin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/terrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightmare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Elmstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elmstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replacement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aftermath</span></a></p>
Martinus Hoevenaar<p>So, I can not watch any YouTube video anymore with my ad-blocker on. I got warnings all over the place against using the anti-advertisement tools. My guess is using Freetube to circumvent this or watch nothing on that site at all.<br>Can I live without YouTube? Yes, I can. Would I turn off my ad-blocker with my arm twisted on my back, like now? No, not at all. It perfectly fits my turning away from American products and services.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/adblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adblock</span></a></p>

Root Moose<p>Mozilla Firefox is officially dead. </p><p>My back is officially turned.</p><p>What options remain?</p><p>For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?</p><p>I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile? </p><p>We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit. </p><p>Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity. </p><p>I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.</p><p>At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it. </p><p>I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium. </p><p>I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.</p><p>The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version. </p><p>Time to leave them behind as well I guess. </p><p>A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin. </p><p>If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist. </p><p>There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.</p><p>(Posted with Epiphany)</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/114071999359445580" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span
