take a jacket just in case
>First, weâve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, thatâs about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey weâve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so Iâm happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTĂ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of âAre you not stealing the internet?â Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>Iâm afraid I passed the You Wouldnât Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad companyâs wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Havenât tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesnât have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
*raises a glass* to the queers without a new years kiss tonight
nothing in the world makes me more evil than just being kind of annoyed
I finally found a doctor that would remove my uterus and I had him preserve it in a jar for me. I gave it to a woman with a trans flag pin that said âMTFâ and told her the next time some idiot transphobe told her âreal women have a uterusâ, she could now reply with 100% honesty that she, in fact, did have a uterus and the transphobe could die mad about it.
can't believe Dreamworks got me to draw a troll, and all it took was torturing one to death on live television

so when straight people ask me why I say Iâm âqueerâ or âgayâ instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them âok look, when youâre talking to someone who isnât local and they ask you where youâre from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or âtown name, suburb of large nearby cityâ so they can get some geographical context of where youâre located right, bc theyâre probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.â
but if youâre talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.
ok well when Iâm talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they arenât as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.
if Iâm talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, theyâd probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?
