These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.

This article should bring you joy.

Ublock works just fine on the Atlantic.

Not me me on Firefox (Windows). Something I'm missing?

So, I'm using IronFox on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode. Not an ad or other problem to be seen on that site. On Windows I use LibreWolf with the same uBlock setup.

These are aggressive setups that can break some sites, but after a while of tweaking it carefully you don't notice it's there anymore.

Be nice to the person who took the time to provide a non-paywalled version of your link.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What was not nice about imparting information?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don’t play dumb.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No I'll just block you instead. Seriously, what is wrong with people?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh I see: you’re not playing.

a cultivated image of Musk as a Thomas Edison or Tony Stark type

LMAO! See Tony Stark blow Musk off like a loser in Iron Man II:

I'd be humiliated were I him. His head's so far up his ass he likely sees that cameo as a plus.
