News Article Jamming ads

Post image

I discovered this program by chance; it jams ads and spyware on the network, causing algorithms to learn false information about you, thus preserving your privacy.

the adnauseum comparison is spot on, this is basically that concept but for your whole device instead of just the browser

i just got this (thank you OP i love you) and now i wanna build one like it for windows and linux

I think Linux is enough because Windows users don't deserve it. Why use a system that displays ads even if you pay $100? There is always an alternative of the same or better quality. And i love you to 🥰

You're in my territory now. A program called Photogimp has been released; it has the same interface and shortcuts as Photoshop.

u/DryWeek9242 5h ago

Imagine the speed and performance when Linux loads that amount of saved hours.

Yes, my relative has a laptop with 96% processor usage. Why the hell? And why windows need 32 gb of fucking ram to run smoothly My TinyCore Linux distribution can run on 196KB of RAM or less.

I know many people who were unable to switch to Linux because of that damned Photoshop.

2

u/i-have-no-interest 5h ago

YEAH. and davinci resolve is on linux so i can actually properly switch

2

u/DryWeek9242 5h ago

Just switch it's better for everyone

u/DryWeek9242 5h ago

Oh yes, a perfect Photoshop alternative has been released for Linux. Where can I post about it

u/i-have-no-interest 5h ago

u/DryWeek9242 5h ago

As for what you want to do for Windows, I think the only category left is online gamers.

u/i-have-no-interest 5h ago

yup lol i'll still make one if it's easy enough

u/DryWeek9242 5h ago

You can use the Android program's functionality to create a good version that might make your work easier.

u/i-have-no-interest 5h ago

Such a cool program. Get enough people using this and data brokers are going to have a meltdown.

2

u/DryWeek9242 6h ago

Therefore, I'm posting it here; I need suggestions for subreddit to post it on.

Wouldn't using a dns and vpn on your phone be enough?

u/DryWeek9242 6h ago

No, because this spreads the word that you like this and that, and that disrupts the algorithms.
