I moved to Linux, use Freetube, LineageOS on the phone, listen all day to internet radios from the command line, browser with uBlock add on and it's been years since I saw or listened an ad.

Yikes. I opened the web page and saw an ad. Started the radio, heard an ad.

No ads here , is your adblocker active ?

[–] bunkyprewster@startrek.website 2 points 2 weeks ago

I had a VPN working, but I think android auto made me turn it off. Might need a better ad blocking system

It's a script that I made some years ago. Give it executable permission and you can search (e.g. streema-cli jazz) play and save radio stations. I uses mpv. It loads saved stations when run with no arguments.

Until, you know, you went outside.

The eternal pestilence of physical advertising. Our world will not truly be clean until Linux purges the sins of marketing from this Earth.
