Honest question. Which ones? On mobile uBlock Origin/ Firefox and Cromite with easy list etc. don’t seem to have a problem with it. Mulch will hit the pay wall, but that doesn’t have ad blocking.
I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.

Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.
For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.

I’ve not read the article yet, but I’m going to assume it’s affecting my sleep because I’m reading about how it’s affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess

It’s that, plus “notifications can disrupt your sleep.”
“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”

Some even allow notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep.

if this is the case, it should be in your contract, you should get paid for on-call duty and get a free SIM and/or phone for those notifications, so you can mute or shutdown notifications from your private SIM/phone

I don’t know about you but I will not be taking after hours calls for work without being compensated for being available
Bruh I work in IT (maintaining servers too) and my day ends at 5. You need a union. If you’re on call literally all the time you should be getting paid overtime.

I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.
These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don’t immediately reply to them.
I’ve been woken up so many times at 2 am…
At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don't abuse it.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don't want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.

Do Not Disturb, since I started using that feature I sleep much better. I even have set to automatically go into that state when I go to bed.
Also began using it for other things as well. Like watching tv and when I am driving.

Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who’s got Alzheimer’s and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.
Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.

Lovely paywall. Super interesting.
Block cookies or delete yours. Super easy.
.
Pretty easy stuff? Not sure why you’re mad
Or different browsers. Wired is soft paywall, iirc 5 articles a month. Like you said, super easy
They also paywall some ad-blockers.

If you want more finetuning look at the app www.rethinkdns.com
For bypassing pay walls you want something like Cromite (Chromium) or better Firefox, or a privacy fork like Mull.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has been my model 😉 And Wired aside, it does work phenomenally well. But I will take a look at your suggestion.

Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.

Isn’t it possible to allow-list certain numbers?
Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.
I’d love to use that feature, but it just seems so ineffective on my android. Things I whitelist fail to show, and things I blacklist pop up.
The BuzzKill app is amazing for this, imo.
.
I set my phone to automatically go into Do Not Disturb mode at night, but still ring if my parents call me. If they call at night, it must be urgent.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, very different from allowing “notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep”.
I sometimes forget to turn on do not disturb so this has definitely happened to me before ¯\(ツ)/¯
I’m pretty sure that forgetting and allowing are two very different things.
Set a wake up alarm and your phone will automatically enter do not disturb mode for the 8 hours before your alarm
some people are teens and are in summer break (or have a worthwhile job that let’s you clock in online and whenever you wake up).
And?
.
Sleep by Android and I’m sure some other apps turn it on for you when you plug it in at night, then turn it off when your alarm goes.
…because of anxiety from doomscrolling and notifications
lemmy solves half of that
