I remember some video. It was a joke about IT remoting in to fix a computer. The icons on the desktop were shaped like a dick. Then it guy took a screenshot and was like I'm definitely sending this to HR as he sorted them alphabetically. Then the other dude was like "no put it back, infant find anything!" And the line that sticks with me, the IT guy says "there's no sort by dick".

I don't have adblock on my work computer. I don't want it interfering with webdev and I've found it to do so in the past. But it's interesting, the dichotomy between sites I use as development resources vs the rest of the web. My phone and home computer are unbearable without adblock, but on my work computer, the ads are hardly noticeable really.

Its ultimately based on the sites you frequent at work vs home. The sites i read stuff at work tend to be less in your face with ads,.so you know its there but theyre less distracting.

No, this is just macOS when you boot up.

Today? It always has been like that. I remember the nineties popup ad banner days. Not much has changed.

in the 90s there was no technology to have an overlay of an ad following you while you scroll and when you close it a new one appears more aggressively. Or to let you start reading an article and then suddenly appear in your face not allowing you to continue. Yes, there was the worse situation that they would open a whole new window, but browsers started restricting it quite early

If it was a human, I would shoot it!

My last job was this. We didn’t have anything. Zero. And nobody cared. Insanity.

When you click the ublock button it says how many things they blocked. Mine is in the millions by now.
