Yeah but they wont admit that they just want to snack!
Ive met one woman that knew what she wanted to eat and ever meal choice wasnt a struggle.
No no no! A man doesn't ask, he tells. Women generally like a man to take charge. You have to dovetail that decisiveness with what your woman likes.
Little trickier that, but not too hard if your paying close attention to pleasing her. And if you're not paying close attention to your woman, what the fuck are you doing anyway?! Because I promise, she's paying close attention to you.
Easy money. The man decides and quickly gauges her reaction. Women like decisive men, not wussies.
"We're going to the Mexican joint for dinner. Sound good?"
See how she reacts. This is easy for a normal human. If she hesitates, change the plan.
"No good? OK, the Italian place it is then."
If she still doesn't look happy, you don't know her well enough. Do better, learn about your woman. Same goes for sex.

Wayland has problems; it is not the problem. X needs a replacement and I strongly encourage you to research why if you don’t understand why. Wayland is relatively new, and has large shoes to fill.
It will be many years before it has matured enough to fill your and everyone else’s needs, and by then there will a new replacement for someone else to gripe about on the internet.

If I were to use an ad blocker I would set up a pie hole or similar. I had that before and it worked pretty well but with the server side ads on YouTube you would still see those.

On Mac? Firefox + uBlock origin (worse alternative: Safari + AdGuard, since you might synch browser with iPhone)
On Android? Firefox + Privacy Badger + uBlock Origin
On iOS? Safari + AdGuard + Vinegar + Baking Soda
On SmartTV it’s different.
Hardest overall solution: Get yourself a Pi-Hole pi-hole.net/
For WebOS TVs use this: github.com/webosbrew/youtube-w…
Android TVs should get SmartTube: github.com/yuliskov/smarttube#…
RokuTVs got either this thing: channelstore.roku.com/en-ca/de…
or the open source alternative: github.com/iBicha/playlet

Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you'll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

So when I was setting up a new laptop and just testing if everything worked I loaded up a YouTube video and suddenly there was a pre roll playing and I wondered "What the fuck is this ... Ah yes still need to install an ad blocker"

And yes, I've seen the CERN website, served from Tim Barners-Lee's NeXT cube, too.
So yes, I knew the web before there were ads, the internet when services were normally open to all sides, and when people on the internet that were actually much smarter than average.

Basically, the time when ads were not super intrusive, on the web, was a fleeting time, in its infancy. Didn't even make it 6 years before ad blockers were required to safely use the web.

in reply to UltraGiGaGigantic • • •I have adblock on my Mac, but not on the PS5. Whenever I watch YouTube on my TV via PS5, I have to open and close videos sometimes 10 or 15 times before they just play the video I've clicked on and not some obnoxious 45 second long advert for some bullshit I don't want and won't use. Honestly not sure why YouTube finds it so hard to play the video I clicked on and not random other videos. I also tend to stop watching vids as soon as an ad break happens.
I work with a marketing department full time and they're exactly as annoying as expected, always pissing about on tiktok or Instagram creating shit that nobody could possibly feasibly care about.
Is there an alternative to YouTube on PS5 that doesn't have adverts? Or is there some way to get adblocking on there?

I honestly cannot fathom why large companies don't include at least simple adblockers in their browser configurations. I don't even need to block youtube ads, the banners on stackoverflow are bass enough). Would probably save fairly significant amounts of bandwidth, too.

Admittedly the usefulness has gone down a little bit in the last couple years now that GitHub themselves have made code diffs and some other things full width by default.

Now I do have to say, it does come down to what is the system we do want? We can agree we don't want intrusive ads. We can say that the paid for services are too expensive. But at the end of the day when we refuse to pay for the content, and then bypass the ads, we do leave content creation in a rough spot. We've kind of reached a point where we need a new system. Yet all we seem to do is try and find ways to break the existing one.

But there's also a reason why Hulu shut down their purely ad supported tier, and none of the big companies are leaning into that. Only "subscribe and get ads" lower dollar tiers.
I'm no super expert, but I think ads are still very inefficiant ways to make money... the profit per customer is very small even with the most privacy invasive blast you away with everything aspect. I don't claim to be an expert, but it appears to me an ad supported service needs around 100x more users to make the same money as a low cost service. However, in actual userbases it goes closer to 1000x when that offer is on the table.
