@yogthos Ahem … remember the autopilot? Lloyd Bridges on glue?
And don’t call me Shirley!

@yogthos @fic8 note that there's an exclamation mark at the end of the film (and the Wikipedia page), and mastodon autolinking ate it

@fic8 @yogthos "Airplane!" (1980)

EDIT: Scene with sound.

@yogthos This is why you don't have enough memory, put some add block on it.
@kennergf I have no idea how people browse the net without ad blockers today

@yogthos

Can we get some appreciation for Robert Stack? He does that kick then a roll over the guys back with another kick himself. No stunt man for him! DAMN!! I never noticed it before.....

@yogthos enable notifications?
@yogthos is it? Mind isn't like that at all 😂
@DrJekyll once you install enough plugins to block ads and other garbage things get a bit better :)
@yogthos "hi! I'm the company's chat bot. If you need any help let me know. And sorry for lagging the entire site up, i hope it's not a problem."

@yogthos There's one other annoyance nuisance.

"Subscribe to read more"

literally every newsite these days that paywall off their articles that only show 1% of their article which tells you nothing.

@Alkaris @yogthos Bypass Paywalls Clean is a great resource for dealing with this. Make that requirement a suggestion at best.

@KingDeadWolf @yogthos I've used these before and they don't work.

@Alkaris @yogthos They've been working for me.

They have a troubleshooting guide if something doesn't work right.

@Alkaris @yogthos that’s Medium FTW. Login to not read more. I just don’t go there anymore.
@yogthos ya, crazy stealing of personal info, hh

@yogthos

So true.

Just curious, what is that originally from? Not seen it before.

@Tee oh it's from a movie called Airplane!
@yogthos @Tee It’s from a *brilliant* movie called Airplane!
@yogthos Thankfully, AdGuard blocks almost all of that nonsense. XD
@yogthos also autoplaying video's still being a thing (which also don't respect your settings)
@yogthos @xtaldave ”Would you like to try our app?”
@yogthos The allegory gets stronger if you imagine he's looking for the RSS feed in the <head> code using the inspection window

Ahahslşsjsh..😋

@yogthos I can recommend https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/consent-o-matic/ for autofilling #cookie #banners. Works pretty well, though not everywhere yet.

@yogthos Meanwhile, I'm thinking back to the days of "this works best in IE5" and pop-ups you couldn't prevent alongside "punch the monkey" ads. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
@yogthos @sbarolo “Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up pop-up blockers…”
@yogthos I miss the Doom music there :D
Für Anfänger/Bequeme: Werbung und Tracker unter iOS/Android systemweit verbannen

Mit einfachen Mitteln können Android- und iOS-Nutzer Werbung, Tracker und Co. systemweit (in allen Apps) loswerden. Die größtenteils rechtswidrige Datensammlung- bzw. -erhebung muss niemand hinnehmen.

@yogthos That's totally that
@yogthos one of the best things I saw this month...

@yogthos cloud cost and complexity combined with ad-tech is ruining the web.

Socket runtime is a solution to this. It takes the web outside of the browser, out of the cloud, beyond the edge, and even outside of the App Stores — https://github.com/socketsupply/socket

@yogthos Aside: these folks were an absolute menace in California airports back in the day.

@yogthos can someone explain what the joke of the original scene is? I never understood why he just randomly attacks people and where the humour is in that.
@Skreee as I recall these are jehovah's witnesses who used to aggressively pester people at the airports
@yogthos Thanks for the context! (I also read the correction/addition below, thanks!)
@yogthos Way too gentle on the one saying to turn off the ad blocker.

@yogthos

And folks wonder why I try to mimic how the mil computers are setup.

Yep, thats why.

If wondering, mil ones have several proxy/firewalls setup that basically strip so much of that stuff out.

Funny deal, the one rare time I went to CNN's website cause the mil computer to throw out a huge warning and block the whole website for a time because it pick up something with malware. Mostly likely one of the ads.

Hence, ever since, yeah....ads are nuke on my setup at home.
