  • Well let’s see…

    • I’ve used Firefox with uBlock Origins pretty much as soon as uBlock Origins came out. I’m now using Librewolf.
    • Im using a YouTube extention that automatically skips sponsers and adreads.
    • I don’t use Google for my searches. Haven’t for over 10 years.
    • I use Spotify on my PC, with the Bash Spot X patch.
    • My OS is also Linux, so no built-in ads.
    • On my phone I have AdAway installed.
    • I patched my YouTube app with ReVanced Manager, giving me block against ads, sponsers, and adreads.
    • I don’t use Spotify on my phone, instead opting to download music I bought from artists (typically Bandcam) or get through Soulseek.
    • I use Firefox on my phone too, with uBlock Origins. Did that for nearly as long as my PC.
    • I also don’t use Google for my searches there.

    I’m very curious about what my value to Google is, considering all that.







  • That’s not so much a theory as it’s just observing what Germany is doing.

    They have strict rules on portrayals of Nazis and Nazi symbols that lead them to censor movies, games, comics, and other media. Examples of this include Indiana Jones or Wolfenstein.

    The education system is very strict and specific about what it can talk about concerning the world wars and Germany. If you want detailed explanations, I have a few German friends I could ask directly.

    I could also ask them to explain how often Germany paid Israel for WWII reperations and how WWII shaped all rhetoric involving Jews.
