>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

Just thought I'd put it out there that you can't root for fictional oppressed groups while bootlicking fascists in the real world. You can't cheer for the Zaunite revolution in Arcane while having voted for a convicted felon and rapist who is actively working to strip the rights of whole societal groups. You can't be a Jinxer and make excuses for the bald headed billionaire bitch baby who did not one but two seig heil nazi salutes at the inauguration.

You cannot be on Zaun's side if you're not also on the side of queer people, trans people, disabled people, people of color, etc. You're not allowed to fawn over Lest and ban trans women from women's bathrooms. You're not allowed to to sit back and watch the ICE raids when Jayce and Ximena are literally immigrants from the Freljord. You're not allowed call the police on a black man for existing in a grocery store while also saving TikTok edits of Ekko to Tyler the Creator.

You're not allowed to be silent on disability rights. Period. Sevika and myself (and Ximena) needing prosthetics, Jayce and Viktor both needing leg braces, Viktor's chronic illness(es), my own long list of mental health issues including possible schizophrenia, OCD, and BPD.

You are not allowed to cheer for minority groups in fiction while ignoring or endorsing the oppression of those groups in real life. Not only does it make you a hypocrite, it makes you a complicit fucking Piltie.

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,

WRONG FUCKING BLOG IF YOU SAW THAT NO YOU DIDN'T ANYWAY FUCK YEAH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT

i think you're really interesting/cool and I'm upset with myself for not knowing what to say to you :/ anyway this is just me saying that I wanna interact with you

Thanks! Well, good news; sending this ask means you're already interacting with me! And feel free to continue doing so!

Hey by the way this hasn't happened yet but I just wanna throw it out there for preventative measures:

I've gotten a good amount of people now sliding into my DMs or in my asks saying that they think I'm really cool and such and that's all fine and dandy but also please keep in mind that I'm just a guy. I don't want anyone to idolize me or put me on a pedestal or anything like that, I got enough of that from the jinxers and I'm just glad I don't have to deal with it anymore so please don't make me out to be some celebrity or something.

Similarly though at a different angle, not only am I just a guy but I also don't know you guys. Even other Arcane/League alters, though we may come from the same source material I'm not the same Jinx you might've known before. In addition to not wanting to be idolized I also don't wanna deal with parasocial relationships from people I don't know and/or have only just met.

That's all! Like I said, this hasn't happened yet but I have a nagging feeling things might be tiptoeing in that direction so I wanted to fire off some warning shots to keep the rent low.

What are your thoughts on the “Ekko is addicted to Jinx’s shimmer” headcanon

(I personally adore it)

Like, the shimmer in my body? The shimmer in my blood that's in my veins? Unless he's, like, a vampire or just drinking blood for funsies than yeah I guess I could get behind it but otherwise I don't really know how that'd happen.

Nonetheless, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter what I think lol. As long as you're having fun with it, go buck wild my friend!

In addition to our full comms, we also do genshin sticker edits, if anyone's interested in that. We've been mostly turning them into Jojo characters for a while now but we can also do OCs, other fandom characters, etc.

These will be about $15 a piece. We have paypal and cashapp, if that's any reason to sway your choice. All prices listed are in USD, and even if you can't get a comm rn sharing is greatly appreciated and encouraged. Reblogging, link sharing, the works. Unfortunately we really do just need some help rn.

Hey so I forgot to mention this when it happened but uh. We lost our job. One of our former coworkers is 100% convinced it was bc of our disability bc the reasons they gave were extremely bullshit and wouldn't have gotten anyone else in trouble, but it is what it is. We're looking for a new job rn, but we haven't exactly had the best of luck. Especially considering we're now wheelchair bound about 90% of the time.

In the meantime, if anyone is interested in emergency art comms here's some examples and our prices until we can get another job:

Headshot - $15

Bust - $25

Half Body - $40

Full Body - $50

Full Render - $75
