I can’t believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here’s a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It’s understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

Makes me wonder how long till video game load screens are sold as ad space.

EA games have done it already, since early 2000s. Practically any EA BIG game has in-game ads for real brands, all over the overworld billboards

I want to make a script for Linux that adds ads everywhere. It would be tricky with Wayland but not impossible. It could start by installing browser extensions.

If they were fake ads like in GTA and Cyberpunk, it could be fun, provided you could turn them on and off anytime.

I’ll use the Google Ad platform

From there I’ll encrypt all your files and make you watch an ad per file to access your data

Na just throw ads into system logs. Or do what Ubuntu does and throw an advert every time you run apt upgrade.

Look, I agree, but let’s not kid ourselves on our experience not being shitty too 🤣. We’re capable of using it only because we’re really good at computers, but there are literally millions of people who don’t even know or care about knowing how to change desktop background
