Have you gotten the "Adblockers not allowed on YouTube" message yet? Well, unfortunately for YouTube and lucky for us, the webpages are always downloaded on the client side, which means they can't just restrict certain behavior and disable user overrides. If you're an avid Internet user, you must know uBlock Origin - the de-facto standard of ad blocking and content filtering.
So, I present to you the Anti-AntiAdblocker uBlock Origin filter to get rid of the stupid and annoying YouTube message. It works by turning off the JavaScript anti-adblock payload, which isn't by any means randomized or obfuscated by YouTube.
Here's the text version if you want to directly copy it:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Some users on Twitter have been reporting issues with context menus (not opening, acting finnicky) after applying the filter.
If you have already applied the unamended filter, please remove the following line from the beginning:
www.youtube.com##ytd-popup-container.ytd-app.style-scope
To anyone who's only now applying it, I have reuploaded the fixed version that should not break anything on YouTube asides from the Anti-Adblocker payload.

It's not been a long time before another funny Anti-AntiAdblocker for YouTube has been found.
It's not all too serious, though. I've posted on Twitter about it and decided not to relay that to Telegram, as I use Telegram for broader and more meaningful topics than that. Besides, I thought the hype around Anti-AntiAdblockers has died down and now was the time to dance on the grave of its former glory by posting something stupid as that. Nope.
Not only that, mainstream media noticed me again. So the topic isn't dead, after all?
So, the whole idea is to spoof the user agent (the browser identifier) to represent Windows Phone 8 or lower. That completely disables not only the annoying message, but also all the ads. It does cripple the functionality a bit and is supposed to be a meme.
YouTube is quite a laughing stock nowadays. Let's see how much content we'll be able to generate from it~

On October 22nd, 2009 Windows 7 was released to the general public.
Windows 7 chronologically was the third operating system I've ever used, coming after Windows 2000 and XP.
Here's to Windows 7!.. and our childhood.

π No Man is an Island
Today I discovered VSauce's Mind Field series for the first time in my life. Or did I? (yes, I did β I always thought they were paywalled behind YouTube Premium)... Truly a blessing β my family, despite not knowing English at all, got immediately hooked just as I did. Russian subtitles are clutch and very accurate, even though I had to add my translation remarks along the way to preserve the context. That's nitpickery. Michael has been my inspiration since 2014, when I started watching his content, but Mind Field for sure is one of his best, most well-refined series. However, it's also high-budget and there's a large team behind it. I admire the scale of that project, but it must feel different to Michael β the final product is targeted at a broad audience with the final goal of maximizing the impressions. Even in his Interrogation episode he admitted to preferring VSauce over Mind Field. And I find that so relatable! While I can dump all my money back into the content, I don't really want to let anyone take part in my project, be it editing, be it recording β it feels kind of wrong. But being a swiss knife of a man is extremely exhausting. I know I can manage 20 projects at once, but it takes a lot of time. However, there's a better question to be asked: will it be too late by the time I finish all of the projects? And at that point you have no choice but to hire a team, just like Michael did. Because no man is an island.

YouTube has started to artificially slow down video load times for Firefox users using the following piece of code:
setTimeout(function() { c(); a.resolve(1) }, 5E3);5E3 being 5000ms, or, simply put, 5 seconds. You can find more information about this on the r/firefox Reddit thread.

On December 1st, I have started the daily upload streak of 2023. The best daily upload streak I managed was 12, achieved in December of 2019. Back then, I managed to break all stereotypes about myself and exceed all the expectations. I felt proud. Now is the time to not flop and improve on it!
I have a very personal relationship with December. It's the month of the year when we in European part of Russia get plenty of snow. And after all, it's the New Year and Christmas Eve!
I love snow, I love the freezing cold weather. The sights are exceptional and I gain a lot of inspiration by just observing the nature and being one with it (snow activities are my absolute favorite, otherwise I don't really go outside).
This is why I often times get active in December. But it depends. The stars must align in a special, magical way for me to embark on such a journey.
I have a full-time, I have university, I'm an adult with all kinds of responsibilities. Yet, here is the third video in a row. The goal is 25% complete. Windows 11 is trash. We got this β enjoy the content. π

Hello, my dear friends! 2023 has been a fruitful year for me and many others. Hopefully this year's hard work paid off for you all.
This year there's been plenty of controversy. I've been absolutely violated by YouTube, but Twitter took me under its warm wing. Damn, Twitter was renamed to X in 2023? Feels like it happened an eternity ago.
ChatGPT, released in Q4 2022, took the world by storm in 2023, and companies rapidly started integrating it into our daily lives.
The world has lit up even more, bringing us even more local conflicts for the world's largest empires gain from.
Personally, 2023 flipped me upside down. It's been a busy and successful year in real life. My online presence took a step back, and maybe that's for the better.
Let us all, who has made it here, be strong and keep our nowadays so uncommonly present acumen. 2024 will be the year of change on all different landscapes. May your future projections seem vivid and apparent to be accurate in the end, and your resolutions be accomplished to their maximum. π·

Microsoft has finally put their hands on the Preinstalled Environment, which previously has been abandoned for around 10 years. Windows 11 Build 26040 ships with a new, redesigned installer, which is suspiciously reminiscent of the Media Creation Tool (or the autorun installer).
What really caught my attention is the unexpected rollback towards versioning Windows again. The new installer seems to explicitly state you're installing Windows 11 - not just Windows, as it used to occur in previous Windows 11 builds. Could it be silent acknowledgement of defeat and a sign that Microsoft is preparing to move away from their beloved WaaS (Windows as a Service) strategy?
