ZEN :upa:The developers of uBlock Origin, in the absence of any complaints from Ukrainians, decided to remove the Ukrainian filters and replace them with "Ukrainian filters" created by ruzzian developers. Considering that Ukraine is constantly under ruzzian cyberattacks, the uBlock Origin developers have committed an act of sabotage, and I no longer have any doubts about the humanity of the people behind this project. <br><br>I will be looking for alternative addons, and I recommend you do the same, because none of you can feel safe anymore as ruzzian filters can easily censor and hide information from you, such as banners about the war in Ukraine or links to support funds or hide the truth about a candidate in the upcoming elections so that you don’t vote for another one.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.net.ua/tag/ublock" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uBlock</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.net.ua/tag/ublockorigin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uBlockOrigin</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.net.ua/tag/adblock" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adBlock</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.net.ua/tag/adsblock" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adsBlock</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.net.ua/tag/russiaisaterroriststate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#russiaIsATerroristState</a><span class=""><br><br>RT: <a href="https://mastodon.online/users/serhiyguryev/statuses/114450549327185042" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.online/users/serhiyguryev/statuses/114450549327185042</a></span>

Those devices injected at advertisements in your dreams making your sleep horrific and tiring.</p><p>Suicide rates were skyrocketing; it was normal to lose a friend every month who succumbed to suicide because of the horrific carpet bombing advertisements raids. There were more psychiatrists than regular physicians. Funeral parlors were the only places where business was booming for the private sector, owned by fairly regular people. </p><p>Mercedes-Benz almost exclusively made funeral cars because that's what's sold the most and the best and asked for the most, by those who could still afford cars</p><p>/2</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrigin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/terrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightmare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Elmstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elmstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replacement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aftermath</span></a></p>
Dendrobatus Azureus<p>I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.</p><p>Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.</p><p>Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!</p><p>There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.</p><p>All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.</p><p>Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.</p><p>Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.</p><p>Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.</p><p>And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.</p><p>There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.</p><p>All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads</p><p>^Z</p><p>/1</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Alphabet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alphabet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chrome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/AdBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlock</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/uBlockOrigin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uBlockOrigin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/terrible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>terrible</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/nightmare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightmare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Elmstreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elmstreet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WTF</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/replacement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>replacement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/aftermath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aftermath</span></a></p>
