What would happen if the big tech companies came together and decided to end support for anyone using an adblocker? Banning people for days or weeks at a time for instance.

There are basically several different reasons why they don't do this (even if Google would really like to).
First, adblockers have a legitimate use for malware protection because ads are malware vectors and adblockers also just block suspicious stuff in general. It's not total protection, but if you try to boot out every single adblocker then you're going to be yelled at by anyone who uses it as a digital condom. And who knows, you make fuck up antiviruses along with adblockers and then you have people really mad at you.
Second, number goes down. Even if they block ads, if they're in your ecosystem then your number is high and that looks good to investors. You want to keep adblock users in your ecosystem, you just want them to be profitable. Forcing them to watch ads by countering their adblocker is one way, offering them subscription benefits not related to "no ads" is another, but all of that goes out the window if you kick them off your site.
Third, you basically can't. Computers are "do what you tell them to" machines. And so long as your online content is being injected into my browser on my computer, there will always be some way to tell ads to fuck off. This is perhaps one reason why they want to end personal computing and have cloud OSes and "everything on your PC is a chromium browser", because then they can inject ads into absolutely everything and suddenly the "do what you tell it to" machine is working against you.

advertising in general is a massive scam, arizona iced tea proved that three decades ago
>>
>>107880690
There's absolutely no way I would use internet without an adblocking.
>>
It's exactly the same as going ex directory in the phone system, junk mail in the post and messaging systems that prevent people spamming, just like here on 4chan too.

If you give these advertising cunts an inch, they'll take a mile. Any company that endorses that kind of behaviour needs to face consequences. Advertising needs to be vetted.

And as always, people need to protect themselves.
>>
>>107889884
I actually disagree with this. Advertising is extremely important to spreading awareness of products.
The real problem is that most ads suck now and most products suck now. The ads are for things you either would not or should not ever buy.

When it is never completed it cannot be insecure.
To wit: Redox-OS. This pile of hype is now over 10 years old and still unusable as a daily driver. Compare this to Linux that was usable as a daily driver in 1995, after 4 years. Or you can compare to SerenityOS (written in c++) which is more recent than Redox-OS but far more usable.
It is symptomatic of the failure of Rust that they are now migrating to Linux to insert their stuff into the kernel and they have also penetrated various distrubutions. For Ubuntu, this resulted in upgrade failures, an unforgivable regression. And they even pumped their code into Ubuntu when it failed the exiting test suite.

Rust is therefore closely connected to severe mental illness and delusions of adequacy.

Efficient grid-scale voltage conversion of DC requires advanced semiconductor technology. Efficient grid-scale voltage conversion of AC requires a big lump of metal with lots of wire wrapped around it immersed in cooling oil.
Other than that yes DC is better, but thyristors didn't exist in Edison's time.

you can do wireless current transport via AC (just need a good resonance matcher) with minimal energy loss you can't with DC.

The problem with AI is that they can't put it completely behind a paywall, and that's a huge problem, but the main issue they're getting caught on, is that they need to make something out of freeloaders, so they'll add ads, but as always, the ads won't make enough money to sustain the freeloaders, and the paid subs still won't make enough money for how much they're used, so in the end they'll be faced with a huge dichotomy, either charge over 4k per basic sub or go bankrupt, and they'll go bankrupt, this is just unsustainable.

xterm auto launching with nnn and or fzf for searching music, documents and videos

and micro, less, mdless and more from opening files in the cli
xpat2 and xsol for solitare also a few terminal games like vitris and moon buggy


and just found last night a feature rich code editor 'xnedit" that only uses 4.5mb-5mb of RAM. I'm planning on writing a new GIMP/GEGL plugin with it to replace Geany which is 25mb of rAM.
