    Pre-internet, my own TV ad-blocker was going to the bathroom for a pee or the kitchen for a snack while the commercial played out. No subscription and it was free.

      If you’re getting that message, you need a better adblocker. Try Ublock Origin in Firefox (and NextDNS for non-Browser programs, both work on desktop and mobile).

          You ditch iOS. There is no permanent workaround since Apple forces all browsers to be Safari with a skin.

          Edit: Also from what I understand, PiHole only blocks on DNS-level, which is your problem, because DNS-level adblockers don’t seem to have the ability to get around anti-adblockers the way Ublock Origin can.

            Brave is a cryptobro shithole grifter browser funded by Peter Thiel operating for profit. It’s as private as NordVPN - just PR’ed and marketed to shit, only larping to attract privacy conscious but misinformed people. Their business model is to develop their own ad platform and track you to shit. They swapped referral codes in, they track your downloads, they fucking promoted FTX - a notoriously obvious scam den, that is not software you want on your PC, made by people around which you would grip your kids and belongings tightly IRL

            They don’t actually care for your privacy and its founder would most definitely sell your data to ICE given the chance.

            Use these: Gecko-based: LibreWolf, Waterfox, Mullvad Browser Chromium-based: Cromite, Ungoogled Chromium

            Specifically on iOS, use Orion, Reynard or straight up Safari - somehow even Safari is less dubious than Brave if you look at the network requests lol

              Theil is one of the most evil creatures on this planet, and he holds Vance’s leash. Nothing he is involved in should be used by the government, or anyone else.

    Shame all my local cinemas don’t have any evening showings…

    How are people who work during the day meant to see this film?

      Feel lucky your country even has shows. I skipped brand new day to watch this, just for me to learn coyote vs acme ain’t gonna release in my country.

      On an unrelated note, their anti piracy measures weren’t upto the mark either. wink( was not gonna go this route, but come on, what option do I have?)

      The general vibe I get form the “Keep theaters alive” movement is that their target audience is kids, and families supervising the kids, but not adults. They do spend more money at theaters, and are generally comfortable with movies being worse, so it’s a better value for shareholders.

    Was thinking of seeing it tonight, only one theater is showing it for the Drafthouse, and it is a small showing. WTF Alamo Drafthouse

      I’m probably going to go see it tomorrow, on discount day. I loved the old Looney Tunes cartoons, but I’ve hated the modern versions. I hear this is a combo of the two, so I’m curious to see it.
