  • they do more to mobilize the population.

    Mobilize the population?

    Most of the population doesn’t give a fuck about their country invading Ukraine because they have their heads comfortably in the sand. Those who aren’t ignoring it, either already fully support it or are fully against it.

    “This is affecting me now. I don’t like it” is the more likely response you’d see from the majority. They just want things to be how they were, and them going to the front is the exact opposite of it.

    This “it could anger and provoke the Russians” rhetoric is not rooted in reality.



  • You don’t need direct file access and prevents a third party device from potentially transferring malware to it.

    What malware lol. ClickForFreeMoney.apk? Even then, the applications are sandboxed pretty well. Even if you install “malware” it won’t be able to do much unless you also grant it permissions to access personal data.

    As for trusting ad blockers, unless you are downloading and building each update yourself. You are still susceptible to a supply chain attack or bad actor even by using open source.

    Most adblockers (all the good ones) don’t require frequent updates. They frequently update filter lists, which don’t execute any code and therefore can’t do anything malicious. And what you said applies to every application ever. Anyone can have their credentials stolen and used to publish a modified application.

    I’m just trying to make the argument that iPhone isn’t inferior to android and vice versa

    I don’t disagree, Androids and iPhones are pretty much at feature and quality parity nowadays. But it sounds like you’re starting from a conclusion and working backwards, which is not a good way to think.





  • Russia is ruled by fascists. how can you call them leftists while they shill russian propaganda?

    Russia is very much quickly tumbling towards USSR communism. There is massive support for return to communism from the officials and the population. People are erecting new statues for Stalin and getting popular support. Criticizing historical communist leaders is likely to get you legally persecuted.

    Why are people thinking that communist loving Russia is leftist… Gee I don’t know.

    Incoming “USSR wasn’t communism, and nothing has ever been communism”.





  • Maybe he should start with himself then?

    Berating men for not controlling the behavior of other men is peak “toxic masculinity”. I am not responsible for other men any more than women are responsible for other women, or white/black people responsible for other white/black people.

    problem we have collectively created.

    I have not created any problems, as I have always treated people equally, the same as I would want to be treated. If you, Mr Minister have been a sexist asshole, don’t project that on me. And I am not a part of a collective. Assigning blame based on belonging to demographic is the core principle of bigotry.

    Seriously, just imagine if he said black people in positions of power must take lead in tackling toxic black culture. That would be completely unacceptable, as it should be, and as this should be.


  • They are capable of detecting it because they aren’t putting much effort into being undetectable. If there was a need, uBlock Origin itself could be made entirely undetectable.

    Of course the YouTube script running in your browser will be able to detect changes made to the page and request blocking. However, the said script can be modified by a different extension to either receive incorrect data about blocked requests and page information, or to send a fabricated result back to the server. Google can react to it by modifying the script, and the extension would need to adapt accordingly. It’s a game of cat and mouse.

    If there was a need, we could have YouTube running in an entirely clean headless browser with no adblockers, while the real browser we use pulls data from it and strips out the ads.

    Ultimately, currently we have the last word on what happens on our end. Unfortunately, Google’s webDRM, pushed by traitors to humanity Ben Wiser, Borbala Benko, Philipp Pfeiffenberge and Sergey Kataev, is trying to change that.
