I use a degoogled CalyxOS phone so all those apps that load ads via Google services don’t even work, or they work and the ads don’t load haha. One caveat is that I can’t use paid apps either though, I’m not against those.
But yeah system wide blocking is definitely the most thorough method!
They got it the wrong way around. Visitors who use adblock are not “dark traffic”, the bullshit scripts and tracking they use are dark. The adblock users are actually the only clean traffic. The adblockers aren’t “brutal”, the people without blockers are being brutalized.
Seeing static banner ads on 2000s websites without popups or tracking: 🤷♂️
Blocking ads on Firefox after popups and other crap started: 😀
Browsing the internet on Android before I realised the browser supports addons: 🤮
Blocking ads and tracking on Android via uBlock origin and Privacy Badger: 😀👍
My feeling of guilt when scummy megacorporations miss out on ad revenue:
Just because it doesn’t have latest Android doesn’t mean it’s trash. And Fairphone also aims for 7 years support just like your Pixel example.
DW does great articles and reports about food. I liked their documentary on tomatoes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPFmhaWHIRg
Calling it fake is a bit cynical, although I understand where you’re coming from. They just pad it with fillings or other stuff to reduce the chocolate content and presumably increase the profit margin. Also possibly to distinguish from other brands. Which isn’t to say that chocolate with a higher cocoa content doesn’t taste better. It does and I prefer a higher dose of cocoa myself too.
Peanut butter is the same. I started eating 100% peanut spread instead of peanut butter. It’s so good. Now whenever I get regular peanut butter, it barely tastes like peanut to me.
Fun fact, a German company has been working on synthetic chocolate for a while now. Apparently it is indistinguishable from real chocolate. Haven’t tasted it myself though.
Haha wat een baas. Als ie maar een ollie voor elkaar had gekregen was het legendarisch geweest. Aan het filmpje te zien is dit bij het stadhuis geweest.
Yeah it makes sense from their point of view. I turned it around on them for the hell of it.
