YouTube Premium is now showing ads by bokherif in c/assholedesign@lemmy.world

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

This is something new they’re testing primarily in EU. There are plans to separate the premium into tiers and one tier will have ads. Even in the US, there are currently ads in your home feed such as product placement videos. When I contacted support about this, they told me they knew they were ads, it’s just that it does not interfere with watching videos. Disgusting fucking company.

Discussion on healthcare in the US (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago by bokherif@lemmy.world to c/general@lemmy.world

Everyone knows by now, how much the US healthcare system sucks and tries to funnel money from people’s pockets at every chance.

How do you think this will play out in the upcoming years? Is there anything the common person can do to end this ridiculous system? Do we even have the power to change anything by asking for it in numbers?

Help me harden my home server by bokherif in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Start with the basics:

Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
And finally, keep your shit updated.

Pixel 9 models below $600 (lemmy.world)

If you go to websites like Swappa right now, you can find brand new Google Pixel 9 models for less than $600. Considering Google is trying to sell these phones above $800, I think the market already decided what this series of phones should cost really.

Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck by bokherif in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

They should have just merged the two products. Instead of coming up with Gemini, they could have added LLM features to the Assistant. On a Samsung phone, you now have Bixby, Assistant and Gemini lol.

Reddit ads between comments (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by bokherif@lemmy.world to c/enshittification@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

Was recently browsing Reddit and noticed a new type of ad which pops up in between comments now. It used to be a few ads in between posts and you would get an ad as the top comment when you click on a post, but now they’re injecting ads in between comments when you are even scrolling comments lol. When do you think this will start having an effect on regular people? Do you think the enshittification will slow down or come to a halt if these companies start losing revenue due to lost customer base?

YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete by bokherif in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago

I’ve been a premium user for a while now and the platform has never been shittier than now. I pay for premium but I see integrated ads in videos and nowadays YouTube sneakily includes actual product videos in your home feed as if that’s not an ad. Recommendations have sucked for so long that I don’t remember the last time I watched something good on it. Inclusion of yt music was the thing that kept me on the subscription but shit man

Any unofficial YouTube clients? (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 months ago by bokherif@lemmy.world to c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

This ain't just Google. SEO effectively killed all search engines. As an IT guy who's been googling shit before I was 10, I can't find shit anymore.

Backup filters/blocks? (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 months ago by bokherif@lemmy.world to c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Hey everyone,

Been using Boost for a long while now and I'm wondering if the filters/blocks I've made over the past few months persist when I install the app on a new device. I really don't want to see some communities/instances on my feed and does anyone know if this syncs with my user account? Is there a way to backup these filters I've enabled? Appreciate any response.

Do you prefer Reddit or Lemmy? by bokherif in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] bokherif@lemmy.world 105 points 5 months ago

Reddit is still a lot more crowded, but I prefer Lemmy simply because of no ads and the actual conversations that you can have with people.
