Stop calling them tech companies: GenAI and SaaS — are they really tech? It’s time to call a spade a spade. (sifted.eu)

When I started angel investing in the late 1990s, a tech investment included a significant technology risk, with the potential upside being groundbreaking innovation. Being an investor at this time meant taking a considerable technology risk and betting on actual tech, such as nanotech, semiconductors or biotech.

E-commerce, albeit hyped and interesting, was not considered tech. It was “Business 2.0”, plain and straightforward, hype included.

I would feel like wading through sewer bare footed if I had all javascript enabled by default

omg, I'm using NoScript now and my eyes have been opened; I can't ever go back!! Thanks for the analogy; that was a much-needed, jolting wake-up call.

I also use ublock origin on top of it, that way its a little safer to test which sites to allow. Anything blocked on ublock origin is definitely something you dont need to run the website and if it is then its likely not worth using that website anyway.

Join me in leaving uBlock Origin for AdNauseam! I made a post about it that ended up gaining significant traction: https://midwest.social/post/25573927

If anything ever happens to ublock i'll definitely switch to that one as retaliation. Unfortunately they dont work together and ublock has better features for blocking stuff I dont want to see.

Oh, what can it do that AdNauseam and NoScript can't?

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 28 minutes ago

it can block any element from the website, even things that are not ads. If you for some reason wanted to remove button "mark all as read" or from this website you could do it. Just remember to add notes to the blocklist so you know what is blocking what if you need to unblock something later. For example, i really dislike shorts on youtube so i just removed the entire shelf and side button. I guess you could do same with some other tool, but this is just more clean way to do it and doenst require extra extensions.

It also seems to be much more serious about blocking ads than other blockers and the dev seems to actively work towards fixing any anti-adblock stuff websites add.

Noscript is more like whitelist for scripts and first line of defence for me.

Dang it... I'm starting to feel the appeal now, lol! Hmm.
