Way, way too many websites. I have to research all of them just to use one? I have choice paralysis! The corporations are right, I shouldn’t be trusted to make decisions for myself, and the internet should be like cable.
I mean META is actually doing this! #aBoringDystopia
65% of Nigerians, and 61% of Indonesians agree with the statement that “Facebook is the Internet”
This is extremely worrying.
It’s already like this in many countries in Asia. They offer data pacakages that are 50GB (for example) for social media data , and only 1GB for regular internet
This is literally what happens when people defend first-past-the-post! “More than 2 viable choices at the ballot box is scary!” “I need my corporate politicians to protect me from using my brain”
Everything**
**Sites only we deemed brand safe for you to consume
Well of course.
2400€/m (gov clearance needed) for static IP address.
I must be stupid for not realizing a whitelist ISP implementation, I always imagined it would be more like a blacklist.
Wasn’t net neutrality already killed in the us?
The Biden FCC briefly brought it back but it was quickly killed by a Bush-appointed judge based on the conservative majority Supreme Court’s ruling on Loper Bright v. Raimondo which ended the practice of Chevron Deference.
Chevron Deference was a policy that allowed federal agencies to be the interpreters of ambiguous regulations, and in this particular case the uncertainty was whether or not the internet counted as a “utility” akin to electricity and water. The updated interpretation is that the FCC doesn’t have the right to treat the internet as a utility if it is not explicitly defined as a utility by law, so net neutrality was killed.
There is still hope that a later, more progressive Congress and administration could pass regulation declaring the internet to be a utility, or that a later court could change their minds on that interpretation, but for now it’s not looking good.
Where the fuck is all the usefull stuff, it’s only socials? Where’s maps, or a shared drive
$100/month tier of course
They could theoretically implement this because of unencrypted domain names and ISP blocks, but if they actually tried this, that DNS over HTTPS thing Mozilla was working on - I’m sure it would get a lot more attention, be rolled out very soon, and disable ISPs being able to see or control which domains you were accessing.
They would just block anything that’s encrypted.
Lmao there are so many ppl on Lemmy who unironically think like this. Let culture grow wild and fuck the profits.
Maybe making everything for profit is part of the problem in this world. Do you think maybe that’s part of the problem?
I used to want this unironically, id pay $30 a month to not see any ads AT ALL. However my mind has changed. I now see ad companies as immoral and, quite frankly, evil.
I would rather not only not give them money, but I choose to use a Ublock Origin fork AdNauseam that ‘clicks’ on all the ads. This seems counter intuitive, but since some advertisers pay per click so clicking a total of a combined 10,000 advertisements on my desktop/laptop/steam deck/whatever costs them a LOT of money, and I’ve bought 0 products from advertisements because i haven’t seen any advertisements!
The best part is that you get an image of all the ads. It’s super cool to look and see what they want you to buy and you can play the guessing game of “What Was My ADHD Ass Looking At?!”
(this SS is from ~2 months in iirc, now I’m ~6-10 months in, I’ll have to check when I get home.)
It’s fucked when the unlimited option in this meme is less then I pay for internet now. I pay over 200 a month just for the fucking internet. Fuck Cox cable and shit choices I don’t have in my town.
Christ, I knew Australian ISP pricings were exy but that’s absurd.
I’m looking at going to a 500 / 250? (Might be 100 up) Plan for around 140 AUD per month, I’d much rather have symmetrical Gbit but that’s well put of my price range.
$200 USD is around $315 AUD currently, that’s a whole ballpark of fucked up.
Yes it is. But that is the price to have gigabyte internet with unlimited data. Unfortunately without that it cost me more than 200 a month. Because they charge 50 dollars every gig you go over your data cap. So I pay 100 bucks so we don’t. Because I have 3 gamers in the house streams.
I tried to go lower but every fucking time I get nailed with the limit and end up 300 dollar bills. It’s shit but all I can get here.
I’d never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
Just run adnauseam on its own. I use it too, my thinking is that I am going to be tracked anyway. So instead of trying and almost certainly failing at avoiding it, you just overwhelm them with so much random data that it becomes worthless.
Tor here I come! Haha
