With Firefox + uBlock Origin you can still be Rick Rolled!

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 90 points 8 months ago

I was gonna say, you guys get YouTube ads? I'm still blocking them, so I'm still a target for Rick-rolling.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Are you sure your adblocker is working? I was having trouble with mine just yesterday when i found out ublock origin has an additional setting you need to click to keep blocking YouTube ads now

[-] cobysev@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Heh, nice try. Sync for Lemmy saved me with their link preview.

But yes, sometimes you need to go into Ublock Origin's settings and manually update to stay ahead of YouTube's updates to their filter blocking.

I still get ads on my TV unfortunately.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

If it's an android TV, I can't recommend SmartTube enough!

[-] starman@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

Now you missed a chance to link to Never gonna give you up

Never gonna rickroll you, never gonna let you get rickrolled https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/antirickroll

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago

Yay! Like 5% of the market can still enjoy the prank.

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 14 points 8 months ago

The same 5% that recognize the URL and don't fall for it

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I still get a little chuckle and smirk whenever I see it though.

Good news, everyone! You can self-host the Rickroll via a docker container!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 39 points 8 months ago

Bad news unfortunately, I’ve been too busy banging rocks together to know what docker is 🗿 :(

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I've come to find Lemmy is the land of the trans-programmer-communist and I'm here for it lol

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

cis-bisexual-programmer-communist here, we demand recognition

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm just a cis tech savvy communist, but I like the cut of your all's jib.

Y'all might even get me off of Windows!

[-] swab148@startrek.website 8 points 8 months ago

You'll be running Arch (btw) before you know it!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I once tried to install Manjaro and I have never managed to break something quite so badly as that Linux install. I have no idea what happened.

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

I'm more of a cis-gay-socialist, but I'm friends with a number of trans-programmer-communists!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

Pretty sure docking is gay sex slang for putting penises in penises.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 8 months ago

I verified it. It is an actual thing and it is actually called docking.

I'll be right back, gonna bleach my eyes real quick.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I knew. I just said it in a silly way so poor victims like yourself would get tricked into checking 😛

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 7 points 8 months ago

Awesome example of dickrolling.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Never gonna dick you up, Never gonna cock you down

Never gonna run around and insert you

I’ve just checked with my lawyer and there is no way you can get a penis to fit inside another penis, the size variance simply isn’t great enough between different penises

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's more of a sort of foreskin interlocking thing, really.

Don't ask me why you would do that, I have absolutely no idea 🤷

Btw, maybe don't go to your lawyer for medical questions? Your dermatologist totally bungled that parking ticket dismissal hearing for you, after all..

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

I’ll have to check a diagram but that sounds a lot more doable. Looks like the yanks will be left on the sidelines for this one tho - famously low foreskin ownership rates over there.

docker exec -it rickroll sh -c “echo ‘But…Why…?’”

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 35 points 8 months ago

I always look up "rickroll no ads" because of this. Also it's a different YouTube url so those nerds who recognize the rickroll url won't recognize my link

Here's where I learned this trick, they have a lot of other cool stuff too: https://youtu.be/uHgt8giw1LY?feature=shared

[-] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 months ago

I just see Rick Astley's face with a play button. The main issue is that modern browsers disallow playing sound without user interaction.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

"XcQ, link stays blue" doesn't make me a nerd. :'(

I mean, I am, but I don't think I'm allowed to be on lemmy if I'm not, so I don't think it's relevant.

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

i can’t believe i fell for this

One of my favourite things about the rick roll is how much Rick Astley embraces it, rather than being salty that his song got memed. He seems like a great guy.

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I'd imagine monetization of the video with tens of millions of views doesn't hurt.

I’d rather get Rick rolled than watch an ad tbh

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 26 points 8 months ago

Skill issue, just use a different video, no one said it had to be the official, monetized one.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Also if your target doesnt have ublock then maybe they dont deserve to get rickrolled 🤔

[-] card797@champserver.net 23 points 8 months ago

It's a privilege not a right.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 20 points 8 months ago

Don't unmonetized videos still play ads sometimes? I seem to remember that being a really questionable conflict of interest issue a while back (because it would mean it's technically more profitable for youtube to demonetize your videos than monetize them).

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

You know the rules, and so do I.

Short term solution: convince other users to use piped.video or FreeTube
Long term solution: convince creators to post on PeerTube

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

the second one will never work as there's no audience, nor money to gather on peertube
