Yes, and that’s where the issues lie. It will never get better because there is no competition to force Google to improve and they know that. Therefore, free reign.

Bro, I’ll literally be having a conversation with someone about a topic, and all of the sudden Google starts recommending me products related to the discussion afterwards. Smart phones and smart speakers without a doubt listen in on our conversations. There’s the evidence.
Download the ProtonMail apk from a trusted place such as APKMirror, and then use Revanced Manager to change the package name. Install the patched app and profit! You can do this over and over again.
I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...
I have a Firefox extension for creating PWAs (Progressive Web App), and had a profile setup for Youtube. The adblocker detected popup just appeared a couple weeks ago. So i just deleted the YouTube PWA profile, recreated it, and added Ublock back. Havent seen the popup or ads since.
So I was watching a few youtubes and remembered how the vast majority (of like the ten) nes games me and my sister had were hard as all hell. I loved to play Little Nemo and Street Fighter 2010 but I am pretty sure I never made it past the third level of either. Let alone infamously hard games like The Lion King....
Absolutely fell in love with the gun play (leaning in that game is my favorite mechanic in any game), destructible environments, operator gadget interactions, and repelling.
However, I was trash at the game because of slow reflexes due to bad eyesight, and poor aim. Relied on the gadgets while my team got the kills.
But, I don’t think I’d use it enough to warrent paying on it monthly. I did however find an app called Audire that is open-source, uses the API of Shazam, and is also free. Works very well.
I don’t care for Facebook one bit… but it’s alarming to see ANOTHER platform trying to block adblockers. First YouTube, then APKMirror, and now Facebook. Great… can’t wait to enter the adblocker blocking web era. Fucking Google, always making shit worse.
My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
I’ve watched from their driveway and they usually have a look of debate on their faces as to if they want to give her candy or not. They usually just give her a piece though.
They aren’t trying right now because they’re running tests. I’m assuming they’re testing what does and doesn’t work. They probably wanted us to find workarounds so they could patch them when they decide to actually roll out the anti-adblock feature.
DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK] (lemmy.world)
