Even more embarassing is that the article adds really nothing to whatever was written before about rss. Probably gobbled up by AI

I'm glad that this site at least left ~10% of the screen on my phone to read the article, next to all banners and newsletter ads. It's not 5%, great!

There is also the original ESA post with a lot less ads and correctly implemented opt out from analytics https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Space_Engineering_Techn...

I'm genuinely curious: I'm sure you know about the existence of ad blockers. They're not exactly new technology. I'm sure you also know that everyone here knows about ad blockers. So I'm genuinely wondering: what does it do for you to complain about the ads here? Especially in a way that some will no doubt take as you never having heard of ad blockers?

How do I get an as blocker onto the iPhone default browser?

I have used 1Blocker for years and it has worked great. There are many others all using the same principle. It also allows me to have a custom rule to disable JS entirely on some sites.


There’s lots in the App Store.

Use U-Block origin. At this point I consider it a necessity for accessibility. I find it impossible to read anything with animated or video adverts. I truly cannot focus on the text. It's user-hostile, ableist, and content producers that continue using them can go fuck themselves. I have no ethical qualms about depriving them of revenue.

Question: does it actually deprive them of revenue even if I was never going to click on an ad anyway?

The ads delivery ecosystem billing is generally structured around impressions not click through rate (which depends a lot on the nature of the ad). So yes it does.

Good.

You're getting 10% of content? I get 0% because of the impassible cloudflare wall.

I use Rethink app to block most of the ads and trackers. It works like VPN so with all apps, not just web browser.

Which means I have 100% of the screen available :)


It's crazy, sometimes I get 22 mb, sometimes 27, one time even 57.8!!!

love it!

What a bs. It still grows. Beyond meet was just not unique enough to justify the valuation

LinearMouse on macos is also good. With Mos

The only way my Logitech MX Master mouse is remotely usable on macOS is with both linearmouse and mos, and that was really disappointing to me, because online, the MX Master mouse is sold as the best Mac mouse. Unbelievable that anyone actually uses it without those tweaks.

Without both, the mouse scroll wheel is so slow, laggy and imprecise. It’s unbelievably bad.


Hardware wise the mx3 is the best mouse for me. The software is dreadful though. It seems more like marketing than software. Nice pictures on the site. Not designed by a team that cares about good software. They should take mos and linearmouse as examples

Love Linear Mouse.

oh nice! I hate it that you can't disable mouse acceleration in macOS.

Maybe AI slop is the best thing that could happen to the users of old social media. It will get so bad, everyone leaves. Which is better for everyone, except the notorious owners

Happily for the ffmpeg machines, it's all lightweight content. Something more heavy would overload them

It's time for Europe to process the own money. Strange that the dominance of Visa/Mastercard/Maestro was left for so long. Of course there is a lobby from them to attack the digital Euro
