cavvema,

Wow. Pay money to have prescription renewed. Here in Sweden I just send a message online to my doctor that I need it renewed. No charge or anything like that.

I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse

I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian....

cavvema,

For mobile I would say adding blocklists in the router.

cavvema,

Actually, since the Internet began to be public domain, physical newspapers has lower and lower sales. Since people can find the news online. This is one reason behind ads online.

Today, many local areas have nobody that works as a journalist, no local news=local politicians can do whatever they want without anybody question them.

So, what do you prefer? A community that has journalists asking the tough questions, digging for dirt or a community where corruption can flow free?
