@jk @ricardo Please tell me that’s a mock-up and not a screen-shot…

@jk you know, they've been getting so goddamn brazen that I was about to ask if this showed up in testing/canary/something

because with how much they're tightening the noose atm, they fucking would wouldn't they

@jk I'm not sure what is what I'm seeing.

@jk Next level:
"This site does not support state-required digital gulag id.
Please insert your personal tracking id card to use fallback state activity monitoring software".

@jk @jwz this is extremely unrealistic, because Google *never* asks for consent.

@jk what's the website ?

@jk
Oof, close call there.

@jk Me: Continue with injected ads.

Pihole and pfSense: 🤣

@jk Which HTTP status would that be? 666? Or rather $$$?

@jk@mastodon.social brave browser

@jk is this real (?!)

@jk Obviously, people will always press the grey button as long as the page has a warning...

@jk@mastodon.social Is this a real thing?

@jk You joke, but that is the future the coinbros want for us. https://github.com/lightninglabs/L402/blob/master/introduction.md#the-forgotten-http-error-code waxes poetically about "The Forgotten HTTP Error Code" talking about "402 Payment required".

@jk Looks like you tried to open my blog ❤️

@jk Ya know, I saw this and starting singing "Say It Ain't So" by Weezer.

@jk yikes

@jk
Please. Please tell me this is fake, this is a mock-up until now.

@jk manifest v3 energy

@jk@mastodon.social Time to switch to Vivaldi web browser. Enable their built-in ad blocker, install uBlock, install privacy badger, and finally switch to using Next DNS and enable ad blocking. -- Problem solved.

@jk Was not sure if satire.

@jk If this were real, Google would be waxing on about how website authors depend on advertising to survive, and framing their injection of adware into a page without it as heroically helping the author.

@jk At this point I am not sure if this is fake or not

@jk if you're asking yourself "is this real or satire", then maybe reality has gotten too fucked.

@jk weird, that's not what it looks like for me

@jk
Wait a second, let me implement that… /maybesarcastic

@jk this sounds too real ...

@jk That hits the nail on the head.

@jk wtf!?

@jk

@jk bummer!

@jk: it's funny to use as a prank.

@jk
It's probably a joke but just the fact that it's believable alone is sad

@jk "Continue with injected ads into your Neuralink optical AUX port."

@jk What devilry is this?

@jk This cannot be real...

@jk well, what's the URL to the site ..?

@jk Error $$$ ?

@jk

You know this is fake because they wouldn't tell you that. They would just insert the ads by default

@jk is that a bad thing?

@jk No stop don’t give Google ideas

@jk This is from a Black Mirror episode right?

... right? o.o
