Adnausium sounds really cool! How similar is it to uBlock in practice? (I don’t want to lose the great performance of uBlock)

If you’re nervous about the switch consider dual-booting. Then you’re not fully committed to the switch & you can have your old Windows system back whenever you want it.
Main steps are:

What’s a “gang input”?
I saw numbers on this recently. It was something like 80-90% of all antibiotics are given to livestock. So this is a huge contributor.
Lol!!! Yes!!!
Trying to prevent bacteria from developing antimicrobial resistance. At these rates in 30 years antimicrobial resistant bacteria are projected to kill more people than cancer.
When you grow up everything you write will need to be in cursive.
You’re being a wet blanket.
The Empire Strikes Back
I’m very skeptical that this “model poisoning” approach will work in practice. To pull it off would require a very high level of coordination among disparate people generating the training data (the images/text). I just can’t imagine it happening. Add to that: big tech has A LOT of resources to play this cat & mouse game.
I hope I’m wrong, but I predict big tech wins here.
Google has way too much power & influence. BREAK THEM UP!!! This status quo is ridiculous.
This drives me nuts too. Who the hell decided to do this? I avoid the stations with ads.
I hear what you’re saying and it makes sense. But I do not believe that my particular case was one of priming/manipulation/freq bias. The topic of conversation was too uncharacteristic, too random, and there were too many similar ads within moments. It was either a colossal coincidence or a breach in privacy.
I suppose it doesn’t matter. My phone is much more locked down now.
Something on stock Android phones is always listening though. I had a similar experience as OP where I had an IRL conversation once with my son about a product I don’t normally talk about. My phone was unused & “asleep” nearby. An hour later at work I was inundated with ads for said product all over the internet in my Chrome browser on my work computer. It was way too heavy handed to be a coincidence. The phone had listened to our conversation.
(That day marked the first on my journey to de-Google and take serious steps preserve my privacy online)
Always thought “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal was very beautiful.
Surprised the rates of adblocking is so high! I thought it was a little more niche.
Also surprised that the article didn’t mention manifest v3 rolling out later this year to Chrimium-based browsers - which will effectively end adblocking in all browsers except Firefox.
Google isn’t stupid, they know that ad blocking undermines their business. And Google controls Chromium: the backbone of almost all browsers. So of course they’re going to engineer it to prevent ad blocking. It was only a matter of time.
This is a cool idea!
Oatmeal w/ nuts, dried fruit, & honey. Very cheap & good for you.
