  • You won’t get me off adblock, as of recently i’ve come to find we get significantly more ads compared to friends and family.

    My dad plays wordfeud, so i install and play a set with him…about 5 seconds in i get frustrated at the 4th ad and my dad goes: “which ads”.

    My friends keep telling me i’m taking the youtube ads far too serious as they are only 10 seconds and show it to me too.

    My youtube ads are 1 minute unskippable blocks before and after 1m 51s videos. I’ll get a 1min ad block halfway into a 5 minute video even though youtube themselves claim they don’t do that.

    How the fuck am i so fucked when it comes to ads, my dads phone is almost completely ad free. Heck the google top suggestions that are basically paid for ads don’t even show up on his phone.

    He can play those free apps (advertisement feeding software) without getting any ads and he’s adamant his phone isn’t modified.



  • I know it’s not about me, but this definitelt cleared up why i run from people in my free time.

    They always express how they think i do things, like i’m at work or something. While i do things for joy, i take a detour home on my roadbike because the speed i can propel myself at brings me joy and a bit of a thrill too. The scenery is also very enjoyable.

    But then another roadcyclist shows up and tells me how i’m doing it all wrong, how speed isn’t a good measurement of performance.

    Fuck yo performance brother, stop. It ruins my fun.








  • Ah i see, time for ford to go down in the history books.

    Not like that will happen, but i truly think they deserve that as a result for even considering this.

    I’m already sick of the amount of ads that find a way into my private living space, but i’ve managed to negate 90% of them.

    “We need to make money” yeah sure, but not at the cost of me. If you want to make money off of me i need you to sell me stuff i get to keep and are actually worth the cost.

    I work too much and make too little to allow them to invade my private space.


  • I remeber when it was all about the YOU part of tubin’. Real people making real content because they wanted to show it to you.

    When they first started getting paid they just made more of that same stuff, heck plenty of reviewers could even be trusted as they made the reviews on their own accord.

    It was my go to place for entertainment, information and to help me decide to get brand x or y for the product i need.

    Nowadays i just have it on as it’s less annoying than cable but nothing is actually interesting anymore. Mature youtubers who have turned into adhd 9yo olds just to try and stay relevant, people messing with annoying sounds effects just because they read it catches the viewers attention…video’s nowadays are an attack on my home space, constantly triggering me with noise or ads just to be annoying. It’s become exhausting to consume content.

    Same goes for instagram which i very much liked, it’s on constant mute for me and the only reason i’m still around is because it’s become a habit and titties.






  • What would be a good source of info on this, for someone who only knows windows but isn’t afraid to learn a lot of new stuff if that means doing it right.

    I feel like i should move away from windows with their shenanigans. I use my pc for gaming and messing around with my 3d printer(and everything that comes with that), photography, design work.



  • When landlords make the news over here they are always put down as: “that nice guy who is sacrificing a part of his home to help the victims of the housing crisis”.

    While in reality they own multiple houses which lack maintenance and have 11 people in 12m2 rooms for €750 a month, while the older generation like my parents only pay €550 for a 100m2 home.

    We made it out of private owned housing but they still expect us to pay €900 for 55m2, while we would have liked to expand our family and my parents wouldn’t mind moving to a smaller (and cheaper) place, but if we were to trade houses they will pay €650 for that 55m2 and we will probably pay closer to €1100 for their 100m2.

    I don’t agree housing cost is tied to income instead of surface area, if anything it should be tied to both in a more fair manner.

    I coworker who is in the same housing market as us (my parents are priviliged for being stuck in an older market) is on his own and did get a decent size house at 110m2 but he pays roughly €750/800 which seems fair compared to my parents €550 for their 100m2 and considering his wage is better compared to their retirement.
