Ein Philosoph der Generation Z

Das Gefühl, dass die Gen Z nicht unbedingt zu den philosophischen Generationen gehört, ist nicht unbedingt weit hergeholt.

Allerdings gibt es da eine Ausnahme auf YouTube und nennt sich testkanal. Bisher sind dort nur zwei Videos erschienen, aber beide haben eine unbedingte Watch-Empfehlung von mir.

Ich war so töricht und habe mir das neueste Video auf dem Fernseher angeschaut. Mir tun Leute wirklich leid, die keinen AdBlocker nutzen und dafür Geld bezahlen müssen, dass ihnen Werbung nicht mehr angezeigt wird, für die ein Unternehmen bereits Geld bezahlt hat.

On the one hand, I understand (because I use an #adBlocker too), but on the other, I'm a little offended that my #selfHosted #Matomo server is listed on a block-list as a "Tracking Server". I mean, I guess technically, but I'm just "tracking" views on my own websites. Makes me sound like some kind of creep, tracking everywhere you go online.

I'm not a creep! :creep:

UBlock is really cool.

You can use UBlock's cosmetic features instead of Mastodon's (or other Fediverse software's) filters and mutes functions.
This is especially useful for shared accounts, e.g. for activist groups.

You don't want to see posts by some bot for example, but others using the same Mastodon account do, just filter it locally in your browser.

For Mastodon in the UBlock settings under "my filters" add:

fediverse.instance##article > div > .focusable.status__wrapper-public.status__wrapper > .status-public.status:has-text(/botaccount/)

replace fediverse.instance with your fediverse instance and botaccount with the handle of an account, hashtag or word you want to mute.
Copy paste and edit it line for line for everything you want to mute (you can always mute more accounts and stuff later).
Hit "apply changes".

CAVE:
* For software other than Mastodon the filter will have to look differently.
* This filter applies for public timelines only. If you want to mute notifications or hide PMs from certain accounts in your PM list you'll have to use a different filter.
(I can share different filters if you have need for some, or if you want to find them yourself use UBlock's element picker and add the :has-text(/xxx/) bit at the end or e.g. replace the :nth-of-type(4) with it).

@nixCraft

The best way to block ads is to run a Pi-hole or similar as the dns on your LAN.

That way everyone can enjoy ad free browsing and more without being tied into any particular browser.
