Google translate has gotten very good. Also open source AI translation & subtitle software is much better if you know how to do command line stuff.
I might be wrong, but it feels easier to get into Linux now.
Adblockers have been around at least since the 00s, if not earlier. It's a cat-and-mouse game between ads and adblockers, and adblockers are losing imo. Stuff like adblockers and noscript are ultimately attempts at debloating webpages which are reactive measures against webpages being ever more bloated.
This is 100% true. There's a huge difference even between Linux now and Linux 5 years ago.
DeepL was such a game changer for translation, it feels like all free (and even some paid) translation apps before were like banging rocks together.
