@bobpony Feels like big new to me. I wouldn't use a browser without a good adblock and I only know that one.

@bobpony it's in everyone's best interest to stop pretending the web is an open standard that is free as in freedom, that lie hurts a lot of people bro.

@jeff @bobpony It was and it could be again.Some major deprecation of certain current things would be needed though.

@bobpony@mastodon.social what do you mean switch to Firefox? Any self respecting individual already uses it or a fork.

@jeff @bobpony That's fair. Personally I consider that so long as Devault's observation holds true, it's not conducive to freedom.

@lispi314 @bobpony conjecture: web standards expand at a rate that is at least slightly more what google's competitors are capable of sustaining. this is why ladybird excites me greatly. it has killed the nihilism and invigorated so many great developers.

@jeff @bobpony It is very much open standard*s*.Just that we have monoculture of client/browser implementation.

@otyugh @bobpony I don't see anything bad in ads per se, as long as they are not intrusive and are actually useful to me as a user. To me this is a valid model to make software sustainable.Having said that, as the sources of your quote indicate, the feature is optional on Ghostery and even when enabled by users, it does not send your data to their servers.

@mapto @bobpony >I don't see anything bad in ads per seThen we disagree. Even GIEC scientists agrees that adds limitation would be one of the easiest levers to pull to make mindless consumerism lower a bit.Adds obviously don't control people, but has a strong power of influence - especially on children and vulnerable people.Without even talking about their use in propaganda as it was used recently by Israël on youtube.So yeah, I don't understand why you don't have a problem with them.

@otyugh @bobpony because I've lived in a totalitarian country where ads were limited to state-sponsored ones. Anyway, I am probably more willing to discern between different types of ads than you are. To me pushing information to the public through mass media is a valid means of awareness development and discussion (for people that wouldn't bother to show interest in a topic themselves). Then there is also door to door marketing for which I also see valid uses and alternative ways to keep it ethical. Sorry for sliding too much away from the topic

@mapto @bobpony I do wonder - if one totalitarian state happened to give good working condition to their worker - if that too should be considered off the table then.> To me pushing information to the public through mass media is a valid means of awarenessIt is. It just only available but to the richest businesses, effectively stranding little local businesses.>for people that wouldn't bother to show interest in a topic themselvesI think it'd be fair - if it was consumers doing the adds.

@mapto I still have to meet the first add that was informative or held any bargain. Do you have any personal example where a global add campaign would be of any good informative value to you ?Do you ever see people use and share them for the better ?Because I don't have any example in mind, so if you have, it's a big deal ! Millions of adds out there everyday !
