    • morse code: piracy tool

    TVs are also piracy tools used for viewing pirated content

    Film studios are piracy tools. 100% of pirated films were produced in a film studio

    this is how they sound to me

    ban everything to prevent piracy

    or just kill the need for it

    I’m not going to pay apple to show me ads while I watch slow horses

      You jest, but i know a person that was accused of “hacking” a website by removing a client-side form validation check

      i found that i have zero tolerance for ads after blocking all the ads in all my devices at the firewall.

      now i marvel that people are able to tolerate it somehow – they can literally watch the same one hundreds of times in a few minutes and they don’t seem to even be aware of it.

        It always confuses the hell out of me when I see an ad from someone’s phone or computer when showing me a YouTube video or something. It’s so jarring that I feel like I got malware on my skin lol

          it’s technically not just youtube ads – it’s all ads and done through pfsense.

          i think ublock origin and youtube sponsor block is more effective for youtube specifically

            pfsense and i got it to work like pihole does.

            people share lists of regular expressions to use as a filter and i found one tailored to youtube.

            however it’s only partially sucessfull w ublock origin doing heavy lifting as well.
