I’d be happy with a static image, hosted by the website which when clicked takes you to the advertiser’s website
Crashumbc@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I didn’t mind the static ones (within reason), websites need to pay their rent. And not everything can sell something.
But even those have tracking and gross injection code now.
Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Even emails have tracking pixels at this point. Like, I route all of my email through a client that blocks all outside media without asking lol

Inaccurate, the videos are never paused by default

All I get is a white page with a search bar and a link and description of example .com
oneiros@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
On that page, click on the link with the text “then it shows me something”.

I encountered the mother of all captchas the other day: it had me picking a three-dimensional room diagram among six of them, matching it to a 2d top-down view of the room. It was way more time consuming than a typical captcha, and I had to do the same task five or six times.
I think we’ll see harder and harder captchas as AI models get better and better. Eventually it won’t be a realistic option since it just costs humans time and the convenience of whatever service they’re trying to use.

Aka “How badly do you want to use this website?”
EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d wager AI models have an easier time solving those captchas than humans.
I’d also wager captchas’ only real purpose is to train AI models

We need to develop more alternatives like federated social media or even completely make web services p2p. And then have them somewhat democratically controlled, or easily able to migrate to alternatives without cost of loosing network effects.
Especially something like amazon / ebay / paypal / ali would be awesome to replace with a “public utility” federated version. They tax so much of the sales and it all goes to psycho billionaires.

Old web revival. Personal sites. Protocol based chat.
ICastFist@programming.dev 11 months ago
I2P is a “peer-to-peer” internet, so to speak. Not much going on there, but it exists. If you’re old enough, think of it as a separate internet that exists in a Kazaa/eMule-esque network.
LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oh I still mourn eMule haha. I always thought it was better than torrent, but torrent won for some reason - presumably because it needed more websites and servers to function and that created a market and a marketing gain. I guess I should check out I2P.

I know the hate for it abounds, but this is why I’ll often just try to look stuff up in a chat box with an AI, browsing has become exhausting.
thantik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Honestly what AI outputs is what I think a majority of the people want anyways. They want an answer to something in most cases.
I do the same damn thing. When I want information distilled to me in a manner which is quick and easy to process, I use something like an LLM to reduce the complexity down.
I also use www.summarize.tech a LOT for YouTube videos to get to the part that matters, or just simply make it text-searchable.

When I ask a question I want a correct answer, not one that is merely statistically likely. Using an AI and not fact checking it means you will never know if the answer given to your question is true. The AI tells you what it thinks you want to hear, not what it knows is true, because it doesn’t know anything, it’s a pattern matcher.

Thank fucking God. I hate YouTube tutorials

just get some anti-adblock killing scripts into your adblocker dude.
ordellrb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
the ones that put you on there mainpage if you don’t accept cookies are the worst.
PMFL@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is a real mess, i do this all day long, and in the images website if you see just a little bit of a image in one square you click it or not… Grrrrr 🤬
Defectus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Using a pihole. Is there any way to circumvent the “Ad blocker detected” Prompt that denies access to view site?
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
I usually connect to VPN in the browser. Firefox has some extensions (including ProtonVPN), Opera has something built-in (but it’s ultra slow in free tier).
LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Oh thank god this is gaining traction because I’ve been having these issues for the last years more and more.
Asudox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean, my browser just deletes all the site datas as soon as it closes, so this isn’t really a problem.
plofi@lemmy.world 11 months ago
In europe we have a “reject all” button for cookies and it’s fantastic
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
We also have this glorious extension which just fucks them all off:
www.i-dont-care-about-cookies.eu
nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 11 months ago
Or you can enable “Annoyances” filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect
uzay@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Yep, you can “reject all” if you’re lucky. Then you just have to go through the list anyway and untick all “legitimate interest” to spy on you.
rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Except on news websites that only give you the choice between “subscribe for X€” and “read for free (accept all)”. So annoying. Still no idea why that’s legal.
Doxin@yiffit.net 11 months ago
That’s not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don’t give half a shit until fines start happening.
far_university1990@feddit.de 11 months ago
It is not
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
See I want to be able to set that once, in my browser, and then have all of these things fuck off.
