      Netflix testing ads.

      In other news, RojoLoco is testing Pi Hole with a big middle finger pointed at advertisers and Netflix.

      I wounder if the TV shows won't load if something is blocking it?

        My guess is that Netflix serves them in such a way that they are just another show.

          I'm using Netflix right now with Pi Hole and haven't noticed any ads.

            That's not suggestive. Only a small number of people see them no matter what right now.

              They're not ads in the sense we think of with ad blockers. They're inserting a few seconds of previews for Netflix programming during the 15 second countdown between episodes when you binge a series.

                Exactly, it's just part of the show. No way, I would think, that an ad blocker could detect them.

                  Ah yeah, in that case I wouldn't have seen them anyways.

                  Just watched a single movie.

                        In other news a NY Lawmaker wants to make it a crime to call the police on a person of color who isn't actually doing anything illegal and charge the caller with a hate crime.

                        Isn't harassment already a crime?

                        I believe that a lot of laws are passed to try to outlaw people being ASSHOLES. It won't work.

                          This Pocket news feature thing on Firefox is really quite good. It just shows a lot of content that i want to read.

                                        Apparently one of the players lost and started shooting. It's pretty brutal.

                                            Politics are pretty much banned.

                                            Linking a news article is one thing.
