China: “Remove all VPNs” Apple: “Sure thing”

China: “…and podcast apps” Apple: “Can do boss!”

China: “…and also hand over all iCloud data for our citizens” Apple: “I mean why wouldn’t we? Here you go!”

EU: “Allow alternate app stores, and do it fairly” Apple: “Ahhh hell no! This is so unfair you guys are bullies! Malware! Privacy! We have standards! Unlike you we care about our users!”

We should thank Microsoft for rendering Windows absolutely unusable, to the point that many people are just jumping ship and installing a Linux distro.

The technical capability for instant SEPA transfers already exists (and has existed for a while), this is about making it free for everyone (some banks charge an extra fee for instant transfers).

The convenience of streaming services disappeared, this is just a natural consequence.

I'm still using uBlock Origin to block ads everywhere, but I no longer use YouTube directly, instead I go through Invidious or Piped.

I'm happy to report that the vote was postponed because they did not have the votes for the proposal to pass. I know it is not a definitive victory because they will simply try to do it again, but it's good that they failed once again.

It could be simply luck because it is a slow rollout, or it could also be that you got the filter updates on the background. In any case, you know what to do if you ever run into it.

Use Firefox, update the uBlockOrigin extension, update the filters, remove any other adblocking extension in case you have it. Should work just fine then.

[-] gilbert31@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Make sure you're using the latest version of uBlockOrigin, then update all your filters. Should work just fine.

Firefox FTW.
