- | If you are a Chrome user, you will obviously know that Google does not want you to use ad-blocking. Chrome now disables uBlock as unsupported, | + | **I first encountered FCM in podcast form, via a link on distrowatch.com. Since the podcast really provides only headlines, that got me into reading the magazine itself. It is so refreshing to read a publication that is not trying |
- | I’m on metered internet, as my only other option is the FTTH provider, that is the only one in the area and they know it, so the service sucks like an Electrolux. I waited 31 days for them to do an install; when I finally lost it and cancelled the service request. So I understand how precious bandwidth can be for some of you. (When I had unlimited internet, I did not care, but I did sympathize). I do not want to waste bandwidth on adverts. I also do not want to share my screen with adverts, so a logical avenue for me is a pi-hole. However, | + | Articles are always pitched just right - from my standpoint at least. |
- | Obviously, | + | I never realised FCM had been around for so long. I hope it can keep going another 18 years or more. There is really nothing else like it around. |

- | You can also read Privacy guide’s take on uBO Lite: https://www.privacyguides.org/ | + | J'ai découvert FCM pour la première fois sous forme de podcast, via un lien sur distrowatch.com. Comme le podcast ne propose que des titres, cela m'a donné envie de lire le magazine lui-même. C'est tellement rafraîchissant de lire une publication qui ne cherche pas à me vendre quoi que ce soit. Je trouve rarement un article que je ne puisse lire avec intérêt, même s'il ne s' |
- | So, if you are a Chrome user, what do you do? | + | Les articles sont toujours bien présentés, du moins de mon point de vue. Je suis un utilisateur de Linux assez expérimenté, mais en aucun cas un expert. Ils ne supposent pas un niveau de connaissances approfondies, |
- | uBlock Origin has become part of my life; I add things like Pinterest and Amazon and Google iframes, to it immediately, | + | Je n' |
- | Well, you’d say, my next avenue of attack should be the browser, and you are right! One could opt for Brave browser and minimise the adverts. However, normies don’t know or like Brave. This is always our problem – the normies. You will get retorts such as, “oh I don’t care if they mine my data”, “Just use Chrome”, and “I don’t know how to use X or Y”. You know, the type that goes on three-month diets and then end up bigger than they were a month later. So it’s not that easy. They do not want to leave their comfort zones and there are no pills for stupidity or ignorance. You might be a Chrome fanboy too, so how do we work around it? I’m not mentioning Opera here, as their ad-blocking is selective, opting to let adverts through that they approve of, again, telling you what you can and cannot consume, and I, for one, am tired of this $#1t where everyone wants to control and censor you. Hell, I hardly ever even use Google’s search engine any more as they remove too many results. | + | J' |
- | Another way may be an ad-blocking VPN. These things do cost money and now you are paying, just to *not be harassed. I don’t think this is reasonable. Though they work, up to a certain point, I’d prefer a local solution to the gangster problem and prefer *not being extorted. (If they were dirt cheap, it would be great, but they are not.) It reminds me of a joke, when people walked, robbers would wait on the road, when people got horses and carriages, robbers became highwaymen, when people got cars, robbers opened service centres... and it feels like that is what is happening here. | + | Beeza |
- | I looked into ad-blocking DNS, which connects DNS over HTTPS to a secure provider. My previous ISP offered this service, it sort-of worked, but you still needed things like uBlock Origin tossed into the mix; however, my current one does not offer that service and from what I understand, this is not the norm. I tried some of the ‘open’ ones offered on the internet, but I found the reliability to be lacking. I don’t know if this is a network thing, or some fault of DoH, or a bandwidth thing, where the secure DNS server just could not handle all the traffic it was getting, but my experience with these was very poor. I tried some on every continent, and the results were below average on connection alone. This means that you cannot have this for a business, as a sketchy connection is a deal breaker and there are always solutions within firewalls for businesses or a pi-hole in a pinch. | ||

- | My current solution is going back to my old haunts, where I add my own blacklists | + | **I honestly don't remember when I found Full Circle Magazine. I had just started with Ubuntu, probably 8.04 or 8.10. It was before Unity; |
- | The solution, I think, | + | FCM usually had an article or two every month about Mint, so I tried that for a little while. FCM recommended Mint highly |
- | As Linux users we are used to choice, I do not use Chrome at all, I do have Brave and Vivaldi and Opera though. My main browser | + | I have 5 different machines that are Mint-only operating systems. The only Windows machine I have is used at work because one of the building management systems runs in only Internet Explorer, which is not even available anymore. I have to use Edge of all things, and tell it to open the site in an Internet Explorer page. One of my machines I use for everything else at work, since it is all web based. Another is used for GRAMPS |
- | I like other browsers, like say, Basilisk or Pale moon or whatever; the reason I do not use them is because they do not have uBlock Origin and Sponsorblock and the like... and this would also be a deal breaker for me when it comes to Chrome. If the breaking adblock madness washes over to Vivaldi, that would need to go too, I’m afraid, as I’m not willing to compromise on adverts. (I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to adverts.) | + | Honnêtement, je ne me souviens plus quand j'ai découvert Full Circle Magazine. Je venais de commencer avec Ubuntu, probablement en 8.04 ou 8.10. C' |

+ | **My introduction to FCM was in my desire to find a resource to help me understand the underpinnings of the OS, its changes as it developed, its many iterations, and it was nice to know their were so many people out there like me who appreciated a knowledgeable resource like FCM to help them in their journey. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I admit I am not a command line geek, my personal use for the system is to learn an alternate operating system for mostly pleasure and see how well it adapts its software and compare it to Windows versions, which I use mostly nowadays. | ||
