I believe the correct name is “Y’all-Qaeda” :)

Pihole will also block non-browser traffic (e.g. your OS phoning home). Adblocking extensions are typically restricted to just blocking traffic of the browser it’s installed on.

It also operates on your entire home network, so it can block junk traffic on devices that can’t run adblockers.

Agreed. I think since the “G” stands for “graphics” it should be pronounced like the G in graphics.

They're taught to follow set rules, ask for permission, and be ashamed if they fail. They're not taught to learn, they're taught to work.

This might be even more ingrained in German culture.

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.
