Get ready; Google Adsense, which is used by the majority of websites out there, is introducing a beta feature called Offerwall (Ad gate). https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/11913007 Once the threshold of 4 page views has been reached for any given user, the ad gate will appear everywhere. How generous of them and the website operators? Currently, this is optional, but it may become a permanent feature unless you turn off the ad blocker. #privacy #security

YouTube is about to restrict views (beta test) to 3 videos per day, or you need to disable Adblocker or buy YT premium. The battle between content creator and Ad blocker user just escalated further. The whole Google-backed-up Ad industry is going nuclear for sure. It is not just Google, but all other players like FB, Insta, Twitter, and others restricting access to content unless you allow Ad viewing.

If you attend a party for Linux users, does that make it a Bash? :emoji_wink:

Threads: So, Instagram and Twitter had a wild fling, and behold, this little brat was conceived, complete with influencer nonsense and a truckload of Twitter attitude. Threads really knows how to mimic its parents' vibes, serving up all the generic influencer stuff and that oh-so-impressive "big follower" energy. It's basically Instagram, but with a Twitter-like comments platform, because who doesn't love more ways to share their unfiltered thoughts?

My first honest impression of threads: it sucks. It seems to prompt typical IG stuff from the fashion and travel world. Zero stuff from tech or the IT world. Not a Twitter replacement unless they fine-tune Algo and everyone joining it. We are all stuck here for now πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‚

Future versions of Threads will work with the fediverse, a new type of social media network that allows people to follow and interact with each other on different platforms, like Mastodon. https://www.threads.net/@nixCraft let us see if it can replace the bird site 🧐

USB pen or stick is popular removable storage media. They will wear out with time. USB flash drives may develop bad sectors. Sometimes you buy a brand-new pen drive and find out it is not working. This page explains how to check the health status of a USB stick in Linux and obtain the status to know if it is beyond repair. See

Because they love to grep!
