To control what can be accessed.
Having your own DNS enables you to block ads on every device in your network.
PiHole makes my smart TV more responsive, because it can't get crap to load into the home screen.

Unless they meant that individual images had less AI generation in them.
(I'm with you, words matter)
Clearly, you made some change.
Securing user data is easy enough if you do not collect it to begin with.
Bingo.
As if de-anonymizing hasn't been demonstrated, repeatedly.
Hahahaha, you're funny.
Because people suddenly become altruistic, and won't try to fuck over the next person?
UBI won't fix human nature.
I've always said this about software. Let me license a specific version, with free minor updates until the next major release.
If the new version has something I need/want, I may be willing to buy it again.
I use lots of old software, on my PC and my phone. It works, why do I need the new version? And some, the new version sucks so bad I refuse to upgrade (FolderSync on Android, for example).
Says who?
Plenty of sites out there just run by people who want to run them, no fee, no ads.
It's people who want to capitalize on having a website that have this problem.
And let's be clear, it's their problem. Not mine. If they can't turn a profit with/without ads, that's not my concern, that's theirs. But they setup these web sites/services with the intention of making money through ads and surveillance, so let's not go around acting like these orgs just won't make it without us (there are exceptions, say archive.org, and guess what, people donate to them because they believe in the cause).
The problem is a bunch of people figured out the web was a brilliant way to data mine for profit. I actually had this discussion with a friend circa 1993. If we could see it then, imagine how many other people already had plans.
What's making it personal?
Stop being a sophist, you'll have more meaningful conversations.
So 31% uses ad blocking.
That's about 1/3. Pretty impressive actually.
Surveillance advertisement was already around.
Social Media platforms simply capitalized on it.
And users sucked it up for "convenience".
Crazy to me there's no guard on that fan. Even one with large openings, chicken-wire type (but stronger) would've prevented whatever got in there to cause the blades to break.
