Restricting the internet based on where you happen to live can only end badly.
...for a few hours, until you need water. And food. And shelter.
Please don't tell me that you think people living in the woods by themselves because our extremely advanced modern society with practically limitless resources compared to nearly all of history can't provide basic needs like that for everyone participating in it is a-okay.
Exactly, automation shouldn't kick some people out of jobs and leave others just as overworked as before, it should automate things that don't absolutely need humans and just decrease the workload of (currently) irreplaceable people so that more people can work as much as one did before and still get the same salary.
Hell, unemployment as a whole should not exist in the modern era. If there's "too few jobs", decrease working hours and increase wages accordingly so the total monthly/yearly/whatever pay is the same. And if there just physically aren't enough resources to accomodate so many people having decent salaries (which is absolutely not the case right now), then we should start talking about overpopulation.
I could be wrong but I don't think there even is a way to fully prevent adblocking without something like the proposed web integrity API, since it's all clientside and the browser can easily just choose not to render any ads.
Overall I do agree that less people using adblocks means less attention from corps and less adblock-blocks like youtube's, but I'm conflicted on whether that's a good enough reason to have most people suffer through so many ads.
Yeah, it's insane we still have to deal with this in 2023.. and it's even worse for trans people, "transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely" and all that.
There are people who aren't financially independent yet that are facing the very real possibility of getting disowned by their family and thrown out on the street if they come out as anything but cishet. It sucks, but keeping this kind of information private can be lifesaving.

I wasn't able to read the actual paper since it's behind a paywall, but it's not exclusively a TL model. They say this in the abstract:
Deep space observations of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that the structure and masses of very early Universe galaxies at high redshifts (z∼15), existing at ∼0.3 Gyr after the BigBang, may be as evolved as the galaxies in existence for ∼10 Gyr. The JWST findings are thus in strong tension with the ΛCDM cosmological model.
While tired light (TL) models have been shown to comply with the JWST angular galaxy size data, they cannot satisfactorily explain isotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations or fit the supernovae distance modulus vs. redshift data well.
We present a model with covarying coupling constants (CCC), starting from the modified FLRW metric and resulting Einstein and Friedmann equations, and a CCC + TL hybrid model. They fit the Pantheon + data admirably, and the CCC + TL model is compliant with the JWST observations. [..] One could infer the CCC model as an extension of the ΛCDM model with a dynamic cosmological constant.
Where did you get either of those statistics?
I don't want them to know anything that isn't completely necessary, and even that should be wiped as soon as it's no longer relevant. Why should I be okay with corps recording all of my online behavior and preferences just so they can sell that info for a bit of extra profit?
You can run an LLM on a phone (tried it myself once, with llama.cpp), but even on the simplest model I could find it was doing maybe one word every few seconds while using up 100% of the CPU. The quality is terrible, and your battery wouldn't last an hour.
