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

@yogthos This is why you don't have enough memory, put some add block on it.

Yogthos

@kennergf I have no idea how people browse the net without ad blockers today

Martin Ueding

@Tooden @yogthos @kennergf
They use Google Chrome with Manifest V3 and only have limited access to add blockers. Or Chrome on mobile without the possibility to install blockers. And with Web Integrity it's going to be really bad.

@yogthos @kennergf Also, turn on the accessibility feature to simplify text.

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.....

DrJekyll

@yogthos is it? Mind isn't like that at all 😂

Yogthos

@DrJekyll once you install enough plugins to block ads and other garbage things get a bit better :)

@yogthos Yesterday I ran into a site that not only didn't have a reject all button anywhere, but had "legitimate interests" (maybe let *ME* decide what is legitimate or not?) individually on by default for something like 300 trackers. It wanted me to manually scroll through a tiny window with extra large text that could only fit about four lines at once and would not smooth scroll and individually click on every single one. After (literally) 15 minutes I gave up and closed the page.

@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.

Orion Ussner kidder

@Alkaris @yogthos Reader View and/or Picket will eliminate that most of the time. Some sites are wise to that trick though.

@yogthos ya, crazy stealing of personal info, hh

Tristian Tee

@yogthos

So true.

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

Yogthos

@Tee oh it's from a movie called Airplane!

Michael Gemar

@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 The allegory gets stronger if you imagine he's looking for the RSS feed in the <head> code using the inspection window

@yogthos
Did you make this? It's great. I want to make sure the author gets credit.

Yogthos

@drukac oh I just found it, no idea whom the credit for this masterpiece goes to unfortunately

@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.
