Eugene :emacs: :freebsd:<p>&gt; "Some of these forced changes in consumption patterns are often explained away by manufacturers and retailers alike with the phrase "Nobody wants that anymore." Laptops with 4:3 or 5:4 screens, for example. Or slightly bulkier laptops but with decent thermal design.

jbz<p>👀 YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures </p><p>「 One thing that people have ran into is “fake buffering”, where videos will take a while to load due to a lot of buffering, but only at the very start of the video (there’s no mid-video fake buffering). As I’ll explain, the fake buffering is 80% of the length of the ads you would’ve seen, so even with fake buffering you’re still saving time using an adblocker 」 </p><p><a href="https://iter.ca/post/yt-adblock/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">iter.ca/post/yt-adblock/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>youtube</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/adblocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>adblocking</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
