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

There is a special place in hell for you lol.

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

Uh sorry, this is a big file. Here's the second, unskippable ad.

It has a 1 in 500 chance of serving you a 300 hour ad you cannot skip, and if you attempt to restart the system to get rid of it, it'll make a note of that and restart the ad from the beginning after the next reboot.

If you try it twice, it will delete the file you were about to access.

Super-hell now.

Now I wish there was an advertising studio where, like, they specialized in shitty ads for real things. Like "I made a game on newgrounds, you WON'T LAST TEN SECONDS" but it's just a flappy birds clone or something

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
