Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It doesn't matter how good your browser is when you can only access content through an app.
That's the way things are headed, I'm afraid. In a few years you won't be able to load Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, or Twitter(formally X) from a browser.
Bleak but probably true. Cabin in the woods with a good book is my future.
What do you mean all the woods are "gone"?
Paper books won't be available either. You'll be watching ads in your cabin where the woods used to be.
They do still have to cater to desktop users, so I imagine accessible websites for those platforms will exist for many years to come.
This is also yet another reason why it's important to defend desktops in the face of people who think phones and tablets are "good enough."
"Just download our app on the Microsoft Store/App Store!" /s
An ad-blocking DNS server on your local network should work for apps too, right? (As long as the ads are hosted on known ad servers.)
Should, yes, but the page/site may have ways to detect if the ad loads or not and still trigger "adblock in use".
A DNS-based approach also won't work if the ads come from the same domain as the content.
