Hey everyone,
since YouTube started annoying us with their “disable ad blocker” thing, I managed to get rid of it by uBlock Origin and a Tampermonkey script. Yet, the stupid popup is back. To everyone who’s gotten rid of it until now: What did you do? Can you point me to the resources you used? It’s annoying!
the thread is about as blockers. The post I commented to was about learning scripts or trusting a compiled App. My comment was “easy is a trap”. So, no, none of you premise is remotely relevant. My opinion, that you are trusting and not safe when using a compiled app. was the only point I made, the only point I tried to make, and at no point did I make any effort whatsoever to change people’s habits. So, kindly keep your assumptions and insistence upon people playing your idiotic game to yourself.
If you’re not trying to change other people’s behavior, what are you doing?
Finding sources you can trust is helpful. For example, I trust the ArchWiki and POSIX.1-2017, and I follow instructions I find there, which helps me accomplish things without having to spend time thinking about the rationale of those instructions (since the instructions have probably been independently reviewed many times, and if there was something wrong with them I’d probably have heard about that). It would probably also be helpful to be able to trust instructions at https://libretube.dev/ for similar reasons.
I don’t think keeping my thoughts to myself is a good idea, since I don’t want other people to disrupt my life (unintentionally or intentionally), and giving notice about how I want to spend my life is helpful.
I do think my comments are helpful (and that helpfulness is relevant). If I didn’t think that I wouldn’t be commenting.
I am informing that others may make educated decisions and not assume security where none is present. Kindly limit yourself and not others.
