You get a 5 second delay before they flip the switch if you’re a firefox user.
Can I just say I use chrome so I can get executed instantly?
Yep, just change your user-agent and they’ll flip the switch immediately.
“Remove element: Electric chair”
Zap element: Convict
Excuse me but my user agent says I am “prison warden”, not “Firefox convict”
Someone made a filter for that and it works well. It’s in one of the posts that talked about YouTube doing that (I think the one in the Technology sub).
I am next for not leaving a tip at the coffee shop.
They’ll have you tip your executioner, and the minimum amount the kiosk will allow is 22%
It will show 22%, but really be 35%.
We’ve come full circle.
I am next for not leaving a tip at the self-checkout.
I am next for not tipping my landlord.
You monster! Did you know that (something, something, something their empolyer is an asshole who doesn’t pay them well but somehow you’re the bad guy here)?
… giving a tip before you actually get anything.
Be right behind you for having an unregistered 3D printer
How dare you!
He’s probably a filthy gun-printer!
Guns and dildos is pretty much all those things print!
But can those things print dildo guns?
Don’t do it! That’ll be the last straw and we’ll get registered for having too much fun.
No fun allowed!
You can tell by the missing fingers.
I dread the day that a politician seriously tries to outlaw my adorable octopus machine
All of you using adblockers are pathetic. You’ll willingly deprive companies of their revenue just because you can’t be bothered to see a few ads? It’s not like ads are harmful or anything!
…hang on I think porn just started playing on my computer I have to find where the popup is and close it… Right after I close this other popup that says I’ve won 69 trillion dollars, and this one for dick pills, and this one for free vbucks, and this online casino one, and that one saying I have 420 viruses on my PC, and this one from the local fringe religious group that says I’ll go to hell if I poop, and this one that straight up looks like it’s trying to download ransomware, and… Damn my battery just died from all the extra processing power those popups needed. Uh but adblock is still evil though, don’t forget that.
Remember, according to the small Canadian man, adblock is theft
Piracy, actually, but yes. That tweet was such a dumpster fire. All it accomplished was it showed how grossly misinformed Linus was about this topic. How ad blocking equals copyright infringement is beyond me.
He’s 100% Dependent of advertising on YouTube. So his statement is not only biased but completely in favor of his income.
But then again theft is not theft according to the same small Canadian man.
It’s only theft if he loses money.
And sexual harassment in the workplace is not actually sexual harassment either according to the same man.
Ootl --what’d he do this time?
He auctioned of a startup’s prototype without permission.
I’ve followed Linus off and on from the jump, but I’ma listen to actual security experts over him lol.
“Tell President Zuckerberg my only regret is that I have but one life to give to block his ads.”
“Ask not what social media can do for you but what you can do for social media.”
For refusing to drink the mountain dew verification can
Once they fully implement eyeball tracking to determine if you’re actually looking at ads, we’re all doomed.
It already was implemented in remote exams sooooo… As soon as society opinion is ready, and wait till musk will roll out his crazy neuralink, those of us who can’t tinker with tech are doomed indeed
And the things we find horrifying now will just be normal to the next generation. Remember when we used the term “creepshot”? The youngest adults today don’t understand what that is.

You wouldn’t download an ad, would you?
My ancestors are smiling at me, imperial!
what about us who
pirateshare almost everything?You will be judged by your peers. So seed often, at least 2:1.
seeding is caring. and I care a lot :)
You’re already dead.
This is the bad place.
Having friends that have no idea of adblockers, or scripblockers are makes me feel prehistoric
You’ve still got some miles left in you, don’t give up! Unless they’re green, then you’re screwed.
It’s an even worse crime to be running custom ROM on your phone or basically not just running whatever it came with with bootloader locked.
Yeah but I don’t think they’ll go for since there are far less people using custom ROM than using an adblocker
They’re already doing it. See custom ROMs and Google Wallet. A lot of banking apps refuse to work. Then there’s random apps like McDonald’s that refuse to work on custom ROMs or if the device is rooted.
Banking apps I kinda get even though I think it’s ass, but McD’s??
I mean’t getting executed. Although I see your point. Either way I don’t plan on going back to stock. Los grew on me. Sucks but you could get them working with a sandbox. I used Gbox for a while but decided to stop for privacy reasons.
I managed to get Google Wallet working with Magisk + Zygisk + Play Integrity Fixer. Aaand my bank’s app stopped working.
It’s all so tiring.
Try Gbox or Google Space. Didn’t try banking apps but stopped receiving custom ROM on WhatsApp Signal and some other apps. Highly recommend using shelter from f-droid
I wouldn’t feel comfortable using Gbox or Gspace for banking, considering they don’t seem to be open source apps. Then again, searching online, a lot of people seem to be saying Wallet and banking apps don’t work with those solutions.
I’ll probably have to settle with my banking app not working and paying with card.
The comedy is that my banking app refuses to use biometrics (after update), because it says I have ““not original”” ROM, which is false. If this goes further I will flash firmware just for that app to think I have original ROM.
I’m in a weird position where my Google Wallet refused to work with my original ROM (MIUI) since I had unlocked bootloader, but my banking app worked. It used to be that both worked with my custom ROM, but now Wallet doesn’t work. I fixed that with Magisk + Zygisk + Play Integrity Fixer but then my banking app stopped working.
Fucking hell, just let me use whatever I want
A little ways back in the line, for privately owning a general-purpose computing device
How dare you wish to be in control of the device you purchased? The inqusition will be in touch.
