YouTube's 'Ad blockers not allowed' pop-up scares the bejesus out of netizens

Track me please if it helps the ads be useful

I wouldn't mind, honestly, if there were a reasonable number of ads and they were RELEVANT to me. I even let most places drop cookies and track me and STILL the advertising seems hopelessly untargeted. Find some ads for things I'll be interested in and I'll watch them and might even buy something but I don't remember the last time that happened. I bet for the majority of you who (understandably) block tracking the ad selection must be utterly worthless to you!

Microsoft tests 'upsells' of its products in Windows 11 sign-out menu

Win11 did me a big favour

I like Win11, because it finally made me check out alternatives and it turns out, not only does Kubuntu 22 do everything I need, and no longer takes a wizard to install, but it actually does an awful lot of it better than Windows. I'm noticing on my work W10 machine that I'm often cursing Windows for missing features I've come to value on KDE Plasma. So all I can say is, if you are as annoyed with Win11 as I was, give Kubuntu a look, even if you tried a couple of years back.

PS yes I know there's lots of other flavours and people prefer them, that's cool, I just found KDE to be the most familiar route away from Windows.
