I hate

You guys don't use ad-blockers?

OPTICS.

fuck off

Unless they're in pubs.
And even then, I still prefer a long pour.

@HatBeard @DethBeard & mrsbeard.

Someone said get premium as did my gf... And im not sure why, but it makes me feel like they've won if i cave and get it. Plus, nothing stopping them adding ads anyway.

Expecting it for free with no adverts seems optimistic though.

You hate us all?

Iain, I love you, but expecting a free service without data harvesting and ads is a tad naive. I mean, you can still hate it, I suppose, but only in the same way I hate that I can't not eat a whole pizza. I'm still gonna do it, I'll just bitch at myself for the rest of the evening.

You guys don't use ad-blockers?

Youtube on xbox doesnt do ad-blockers....

Let me be Naive...

Party Pooper

ad-blockers?

What do you use?

On YT it doesn't seem prevent them for me.

Look at thing with Google
Decide to buy the thing
Forever see the thing you just bought on every fucking webpage until the end of time

I use uBlock Origin on Chrome.

Get pihole or nextdns and never experience that again

Get a hair cut, get told by people that they preferred your hair before. Okay, I'll go pick up all the sweepings from the barbershop floor and stick them back on? Also, go fuck yourself.

pihole

I'm gonna do it, I have a Raspberry Pi doing absolutely nothing right now

Your haircut is awesome. So good in fact that branwen and I were having a chat a couple of days ago while walking to the shops about how good it looks. I mean not that it's anyone elses business anyway.

This!

(Apart from the walking to the shops chatting with Branwen bit).

Particularly because I use Gmail so Google also know I already bought the thing! FFS Google - I accept you are spying on me all the time and selling my deepest secrets, you could at least give me a tiny benefit in managing the ads better.

warmly greeted from behind

Ooooooooooooh!

People who don't read all replies to an email before replying themselves.

A: "X?"
B: "Y!"
A: "Great, thanks."
C: "Z?"
C: "Ah, sorry, see you've sorted it."
D: "I think B might be able to help"
E: "Y!"
F: "Z!"
G: Fwds it to B with "Can you help A?"
...etc...

my old boss used to work through their inbox from the bottom up, in sequence. which meant you would sometimes get a reply to something 2 weeks later, after it had long been sorted/moved on, and because they were the boss, it sometimes created more confusion at that point.

If I at least got some variation it might be slightly easier to bear but I mostly get 'invest as little as one pound in the world's leading companies COMPLETELY FREE with Trading 212' over and over. Gonna hear that phrase in my dreams along with the omnipresent Audible ads.

I found NextDNS way easier to set up.

Ahh, thank you! I'd love to not care about other people's opinions of me but it's really tiring being told all the time how unattractive I am (I am really, really unattractive by most people's standards here...). So this is very nice to read!

Total babe (imo)
Edit: just realised that might come across a bit creepy. I wouldn't normally offer unsolicited opinions 😳 just to counter those other know-nothings!
