If I was going to fall off the wagon after 2 years, I hope to gods it would be with something better than Bud Light.
If you are going to make the worst decision of your life, it might as well be terrible across the board.
Celebrate today with piss
Could be even worse: you could Drink a Bud Light Lime while wearing ridiculous shoes and taking a bite of everything on the McDonald’s Dollar* Menu
*now informally known as the $20 menu or thereabouts, probably
It is a relevant ad, to be fair. In the wrong way, but…
My first thought! Targeted advertising works as designed.
Imagine how much your life must suck if you drink a Bud Light as celebration
I literally just drank a beer after trying to go a day without one and now I’m laughing at myself this is well timed
Shitposts aside, it can be done. Changing habits is hard but possible with a lot of effort.
Hey habits are really hard to change, especially to change for the better! You can always start with a smaller scope, like “for this afternoon I won’t be controlled by alcohol” “this next 5 minutes I won’t hand to the tech oligarchs by looking at my phone” “for this meal, the sugar monopoly won’t own me” and try to build up more and more of those segments over time where the worst people in the world don’t have control over you
Yeah, uBO for android phones and 1blocker for iOS devices… and only use browsers - not apps - to access shit online.
Tha ad’s bullshit.
You can block in-app tracking and ads largely with DNS-based blocking.
pi-hole would’ve blocked this, you’d most likely still get the same pop-up area but it would be blank
Do you keep a constant VPN connection to your home network?
Yes, but it’s split dns using wireguard. That was only the dns and such goes through it.
This is not necessary.
Just use the adblocker dns service for your phone. Takes like 2 minutes, it’s free, and you’ll never see ads.
That doesn’t work with https ad though
It does, dns happens before the request to the server happens. So instead of connecting to the ad-server the dns says ‘the resource you’re looking for doesn’t exist’ and the ad never loads.
I’m sleep deprived and can’t for the life of me decipher, what I meant there 😀. But I feel I have meant something
There’s another problem yet: a lot of ads nowadays use the main domain of the site as the source. So you can’t block it without blocking the site as a whole.
How does one do this?
On Android, enable private DNS and set it to
dns.adguard-dns.com.To….?
This may differ slightly on various Android versions:
Settings > Network & Internet > Private DNS > Private DNS provider hostname
Slightly more advanced, but Lucky Patcher is still handy for getting rid of in-app ads. Don’t use it on apps that can ban you tho (especially online games). DNS designed to block ads works too.
Thanks, I just swapped over to an iPhone and was getting fed up with the fact that it doesn’t lower my have real Firefox with uBO, didn’t know about 1blocker!
If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.
There’s a version of uBO available for Safari now. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ublock-origin-lite/id6745342698
Switch to AdNauseam, a fork of uBO that maliciously attacks advertisers in the background with no increased data usage on your end!
My one beef with AdNauseam is that for some reason on my system, it acts really wonky on youtube. Otherwise, it’s a gem.
Huh, weird, what does it do? I can’t remember ever experiencing any noticeable difference on YT when switching from uBO to AN!
I would get that “adblockers are against the YT TOS” message. If I refreshed the page, it would work every third time or so.
Weird.
Strange, I literally don’t know what this looks like! I wonder if another extension or add-on was interfering.
Sounds refreshing. You’ve earned it.
At least he cant say ads arent tailored to him specifically
Can he tho? Assuming the phone knows he’s a recovering alcoholic, would make sense if it was targeted. Could also be a carryover from when he did spend a lot on booze.
They know, they just dont care.
who is more likely to start, a non consumer or an ex consumer?
It’s like hitting prestige in a lobby shooter. Start back at level 1, but have the skills to make it to the top all over again, like a winner.
Bud Light, prestige your beverage, prestige your recovery!
Basically water, streak remains unbroken.
