1. tax the rich
2. tax corporations
3. tax private schools
4. feed the rich to the poor

i call it my 4 step plan to national healing

man, they've shafted something up on twitter because i can't view anything but my countdown to unbanning

and there's now 9 hours 30 mintues left :(

hey @gentle moss, a question for you

Let's say you have some forms you need some kind of captcha on

do you think users would prefer:

1. ReCaptcha, which requires google's JS and tracking cookies
2. GeeTest, which is 100% chinese but a little more fun to look at

[gentle moss]

hmmmm

[sand goblet]

I mean just from a privacy perspective

also, with the US trade ban thing, maybe they can't work with US users?

[gentle moss]

i'm not sure how the trade war stuff will impact it

i mean it shouldn't stop the technology working

[sand goblet]

yeah

true

the third option is a DIY job but there's no way I can do that reliably

[gentle moss]

do what the whitehouse did

ask people what happened in 1776

¬_¬

[sand goblet]

I don't get the reference

:P

[gentle moss]

they put up a form for reporting being banned / sidelined by social media for having right wing political views

and the verifying question was something like "What was the year the United States got independence?"

[sand goblet]

Haha, okay

[gentle moss]

it gave you the option to upload a picture too

soooooo someone clearly made an automated script that would upload loads of penis photos

[sand goblet]

Figures

[gentle moss]

¬_¬

[sand goblet]

Did you listen to that rubin report earlier?

[gentle moss]

nah, at work atm

[sand goblet]

Ah okay

So yeah, recaptcha or geetest

[gentle moss]

i'd feel more comfortable using a site that used google's

[sand goblet]

That's the idea I'm getting as well

Also there's nothing that integrates geetest with django

Although doing it myself should be easy

[gentle moss]

i'm aware of Project Veritas though btw

[sand goblet]

I'm not

That wasn't in the half I listened to iirc

[gentle moss]

they're a bit mental

[sand goblet]

What is it?

[gentle moss]

project veritas

oh right, sorry

[sand goblet]

Haha

[gentle moss]

juggling a few things at once

[sand goblet]

Snake it easy

[gentle moss]

basically it's funded by right wing donors

and they try to seek out damaging material / conduct "sting" operations against snowflake lefties

but it's also been caught doing some super fucked up shit in the process of that

[sand goblet]

Ah right

It's like the right version of what the far left were doing

[gentle moss]

f.ex they one time tried to prove that you could get welfare while clearly being a pimp or w/e

[wet steppe]

Far left are very predatory

[gentle moss]

and trying to splatter the whole welfare system as bad and shit

posted a video of the interview with the welfare clerk or w/e saying "yeah see it's easy to get welfare we need to change the system"

but he never actually got welfare and they weren't going to give it to him

[sand goblet]

Huh, okay

Well, I only listened to the first part of the one I linked at work yesterday

But it talks about interviews the guy did with people that work within companies like Facebook and twitter

Explaining how their algorithms work and what they can do with the content people post

One example was given of a Facebook content moderator, where they basically like.. De-boost? Right wing stuff

And their algorithm has stuff built in for this

Like, for example, a term it looks for is "MSM", as in, mainstream media

They classify that as right wing so using it means your post will reach less eyeballs

Quite interesting

[gentle moss]

it's one of the harder problems to solve

and yeah, Project Veritas have been talking about that stuff for a while

[wet steppe]

They shouldn't interfere with free market

[gentle moss]

and "the guy", if it's who i think it is, isn't a trust worthy source of information

Facebook/Twitter/Youtube can do what the fuck they like on their platforms :P

i mean that dude has tried to "sting" news organisations by making up stories, hiring women / people to go and talk to reporters about these entirely made up stories, got caught in the process and then tried to back peddle it / suggest it still shows the news organisations are corrupt and evil

Jaime Phillips who claimed to have had an abortion when she was 15 after sexual encounters with the Republican senatorial candidate in Alabama, Roy Moore. Post reporters did their due diligence, grew suspicious of her narrative, and later watched her walking into the Project Veritas offices in New York.```

When these matters were put to O’Keefe in a filmed encounter, he refused to answer questions about the apparent attempt to plant a fake story on the Post presumably intended to undermine the paper’s earlier exposé of Moore’s alleged molestation of underage girls as young as 14.```

more like James O'Queef if you ask me

[sand goblet]

Nah the guy acknowledges that

He doesn't take issue with platforms doing what they want

He takes issue with them doing what they want but also claiming not to do it

Like, it's fine if twitter wants to be an entirely left wing platform, but they should be an entirely left wing platform

I mean clearly they do want that but they pretend they're all for free speech lol

To the point where they have outright lied about what they do

Part of that is probably intentional though

[gentle moss]

it's pretty weird though because if twitter is trying to be an entirely left wing platform they're allowing a lot of nazi shit through

¬_¬

i've seen people write demonstrably worse things than i wrote last night and not get suspended / banned

[sand goblet]

Nah, it's not that

You have committed the crime of wrongthink

It's no secret that the left wing people are far less willing to be approachable :P

The word you referred to is something that tends to offend women a lot more than men as well

I don't think there's any evidence of twitter just randomly banning people

Probably what happened is that someone used twitter search features to keep track of usages of the word and mass report

Happens all the time

[gentle moss]

i suspect it's because i used the word in a thread that contained a high profile individual

and got reported

i find it a bit ironic that o'queef would be complaining about those companies lying about what they do

considering he lies about everything he does

[sand goblet]

You have to take interviews at face value lol

The point of the rubin report is to collect viewpoints

[gentle moss]

sure, i'm just really not a fan of James O'Keefe or any of his view points

[sand goblet]

You're making a classic mistake, really

But that's fair enough

But hey, you'll be one with the cloud soon enough

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/05/08/age_verification_biz_claims_no_payment_model/

[gentle moss]

urrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggg

this whole thing is going to go massively tits up

"hey lets give some random 3rd party a contract to verify the age of almost every single person in the UK"

[sand goblet]

Haha, yeah, for sure

this is sad.. someone at work was telling me about this today..

[gentle moss]

trade wars are dumb

[grave phoenix]

What

Actually, I have no idea what the IEEE is

[gentle moss]

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

[rough sapphire]

IEEE invites professionals to formulate, review and approve standards for almost all tech..

[grave phoenix]

I see

[vestal briar]

So students dont go on thepiratebay and search "electronics set 1, university x" and don't click on the one by "y"!

[gentle moss]

IEEE, where all your favourite standards come from

[vestal briar]

It has IE in it

[grave phoenix]

@vestal briar wut

[vestal briar]

Internet Explorer

[grave phoenix]

No, the previous message

[vestal briar]

It was sarcasm

[grave phoenix]

I still didn't get it

[vestal briar]

(Some professors hint at doing it because of the prices of text books)

[grave phoenix]

I don't understand

What are you talking about?

[vestal briar]

University text books usually cost like £200 per thing

[grave phoenix]

Ooh

[vestal briar]

And they are basically a scam

[grave phoenix]

I don't go to uni

not yet

[vestal briar]

So some proffesors hint sarcastically to not visit somewhere to get it for free

[rough sapphire]

they are a scam..

[vestal briar]

I don't

[rough sapphire]

you could fly to another country and get it for cheap

[grave phoenix]

Then buy it online?

[vestal briar]

You have to buy it again once a year

[grave phoenix]

I just download the pdf

I feel so inadequate rn

[vestal briar]

[gentle moss]

ARRRRG

someone's uploaded a load of files with the same name, but different case

[vestal briar]

Sound on an a10 wart-hog

[gentle moss]

now i'm downloading them to a windows machine and have a few hundred "overwrite file" dialogues

[vestal briar]

Yes to all

[gentle moss]

they're different images -.-

[rough sapphire]

XD

[vestal briar]

Why dont you make a script to rename them

[gentle moss]

i could do that

[vestal briar]

Mhm

[gentle moss]

but instead i'll just make something in AHK

[vestal briar]

import os
for file in os.walk("."):
    # something with images```

[gentle moss]

tab tab tab tab tab tab space tab tab enter end left left left left _ 2 enter

[vestal briar]

👏

[gentle moss]

i'm fully aware of how i'd make it :P

it's only like ~5% of 10,000 files

i wonder what utter twunt caused this shit

[oak tangle]

hahaha

[vestal briar]

If it took the same time to automate or just do it, what would you do?

I would still automate

Just in case

[gentle moss]

i am automating it

but just using a keyboard macro

[vestal briar]

Yeah

[rough sapphire]

twunt.. lol.. im so stealing that

[vestal briar]

AHK is modified lua but built from the ground up

[rough sapphire]

trademark it and everything

[vestal briar]

It's weird

[gentle moss]

it is weird

but i like it

[vapid bluff]

dont forget to merge the patch

[gentle moss]

been using it for over 10 years

[vapid bluff]

aka scream at whoever did it

merge it right into their soul

[gentle moss]

hah

i'm willing to bet it's the awful web developer who doesn't work here anymore

[rough sapphire]

XD

people have too much time on their hands..

[gentle moss]

the guy who used mysql as a non-relational database when making a warehouse tracking system

[vestal briar]

Wait bisk if you are doing the same thing over and over

[gentle moss]

that was some horrible php

[vestal briar]

Why not just do yes to all

Oh god

[gentle moss]

because you can't bulk rename using yes to all?

anyway, it's done now

[vestal briar]

Did he just use like 1 row to store everything in an array

[gentle moss]

churning away

[vestal briar]

Cool

[gentle moss]

he was doing stuff like having a table of locations

and a table of products

each product has an SKU

and each location holds 1 product

but he had code manually updating both tables with the SKU info

[vestal briar]

Wow

Its harder to do that then the normal way

[gentle moss]

it was a proper fucking mess

plus he ran like 16 months over on making it

and it didn't work

so we hired a real php developer to come in and fix his mess

[vestal briar]

Poor dude

[gentle moss]

first they asked me to take a look at his code

"look, i'll take a look but i'm not sure i know PHP well enough to tell you anyth-.... burn it. burn it all."

[vestal briar]

:)

[gentle moss]

        $sql = "SELECT locations.location_id, locations.ClientID, stock_log.ClientID, locations.location_type, stock_log.Datetime, stock_log.SKU as stocksku, stock_log.Numberofboxes, stock_log.Numberperbox, stock_log.Comments, clients.client_name, stock_log.stage, locations.SKU, locations.lastupdated, locations.location_description, locations.archived
            FROM locations 
            LEFT JOIN stock_log on locations.location_id = stock_log.LocationToID
            LEFT JOIN clients  ON clients.ID = locations.ClientID
            WHERE location_id = '$id'
            group by stock_log.SKU";```

that first line is 354 characters long

that first line is 354 characters long

dude worked on a laptop

[vestal briar]

Oh god

[gentle moss]

there's a +400char line in the code somewhere

[vestal briar]

Going to be very secure

[rough sapphire]

lmao

[gentle moss]

section of the site's internet is down

so i went to go see what's up

master key wont work for that cupboard

none of the master keys work for that cupboard

the only guy who knows what key it is is currently on holiday

[vestal briar]

Try all or break it

[gentle moss]

there are like

hundreds of keys

and i cannot automate that

:D

I want to do a ton of frameworks and diffrent things but it takes ages to learn all of them

:(

I want to do a ton of frameworks and diffrent things but it takes ages to learn all of them

[wet steppe]

ye

[vestal briar]

Thats what I have done in the last 8 months

Still so much to do

[wet steppe]

how can you do GTK before C++

[vestal briar]

pygobject I should have put

[wet steppe]

ah okay yeah

[vestal briar]

I will be doing defacto gtk in c or c++ later on

[wet steppe]

why not do

Django

[vestal briar]

Done flask for like 4 months ¬_¬

[wet steppe]

whyy

Django is so good

[vestal briar]

(Well flask learning encompasses most of the stuff I done)

Whats the point in django if I know flask

[wet steppe]

they arent comparable at all
django is a very big framework with lots of stuff premade

[vestal briar]

Wastes time learning when I can do everything already

[wet steppe]

flask is super minimal

[vestal briar]

Yes they really are

Django is modified flask with batteries-included

[wet steppe]

django has premade ORM, Oauth stuff, admin panel, users and forms

[vestal briar]

(Not modified, made from the ground up but still)

Flask has all of that & just uses sqlalchemy which you can put in django anyway

[wet steppe]

django's ORM and DB integration is super nice though

[vestal briar]

So is flasks

Well not flasks

But the extentions used with flask

[wet steppe]

okay

[vestal briar]

Because of the modularity

[wet steppe]

but what about Oauth stuff, admin panel, users and forms

[vestal briar]

flask-dance or just aiohttp/requests for oauth

flask-admin for admin

flask-login or just plain sessions for users

and flask-wtf for forms

[wet steppe]

🤔

but this is so much more work

than just setting up django

[vestal briar]

Not really, no

Wait

It depends

[wet steppe]

I understand flask has the same stuff
but you gotta glue it all together
and make sure it works together well
and do unit tests and stuff

[vestal briar]

Flask is good for short term and long term

Django for middle

[sand goblet]

django is far better for serious projects that need these features

[wet steppe]

I know they say that but
Instagram is still on django

[sand goblet]

they're available out of the box

but more importantly

they work together

[wet steppe]

batteries are nice

[vestal briar]

Yep

Django is good

[sand goblet]

and sure you still stick things together in some cases

[vestal briar]

But they are not completely diffrent

[sand goblet]

but the presence of stuff like standard permissions systems means other things can build off of them

[wet steppe]

batteries included VS batteries not incuded

[vestal briar]

they arent comparable at all

[wet steppe]

is very different

[sand goblet]

like you take oauth for example

for django, you probably want to use django-allauth

[vestal briar]

client or server

For flask you can use flask-dance

[sand goblet]

yeah, but listen

the main reason you might pick django-allauth is that it supports basically everything

but further than that

you don't actually have to write any code for it

you add it to your installed apps, configure it, and.. you're done

it integrates with the user system that's already part of django

it uses django's admin

whereas flask-dance has to be integrated into your user and database system

[vestal briar]

Intresting

[sand goblet]

you don't even need to configure it in a file

[vestal briar]

Anyway, I like flask more. Django is still great but can be a big heavyweight for a simple
API

[wet steppe]

for a simple API django is a truly terrible choice, yes

no one should use it for that

[vestal briar]

Yeah 😅

[sand goblet]

yeah, I'd use blacksheep for that probably

[wet steppe]

ba ba black sheep

[vestal briar]

I just use flask or if I want it to be strictly REST-compliant, use flask-restful aswell

[sand goblet]

it's kind of like flask but faster and asyncio

oh and of course, since this is integrated with django, it has permissions too

[vestal briar]

gdude

Why not use just aiohttp

[sand goblet]

because it's not optimised

[vestal briar]

Instead of this blacksheep thing

[sand goblet]

and it doesn't have any niceties

[vestal briar]

Ah

Oh no thats not CPython

Ahh

I forgot Cython vs CPython again 😅

[sand goblet]

yeah, it's cython :P

[vestal briar]

Yep

I got confused for a second why its advertising the interpreter

[sand goblet]

it also only runs on linux

[vestal briar]

:/

[sand goblet]

fine by me, that's what I'm targetting

[vestal briar]

Yep

[wet steppe]

Linux best

no Windows

[vestal briar]

CS teacher

[sand goblet]

yes, your bias was made clear today already

[vestal briar]

:D

[sand goblet]

:P

[vestal briar]

By the looks of this

Its just async flask with :[something] rather than <[type]:[something]>

[wet steppe]

lmao

[vestal briar]

Not sure what to do now..

[sand goblet]

the speed is the point

[wet steppe]

do some haskell

[vestal briar]

Has to be C++, kubernetes of tensorflow

But I am not feeling doing any of them

[wet steppe]

those are all tough

[vestal briar]

Don't want to program right now but I do at the same time

I had a thought

[gentle moss]

careful now

those are dangerous

[vestal briar]

If someone does preformance dehancing drugs before the olympics, it would be weird if they where disqualified

[gentle moss]

happened

snowborder got a bronze medal (i think) at a winter olympics and then got disqualified for having cannabis in his system

[vestal briar]

I suppose thats bad

Probably has a weird warming effect

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Something stupid like that

[wet steppe]

cannabis could raise performance though

depends on the person

[vestal briar]

CBD

Actually yes

The cycalist

Ok what if you have a roofie

Like you take a roofie or sleeping pill

🤔

[wet steppe]

those are anti-anxiety medications

[vestal briar]

Huh

[wet steppe]

so they can increase focus

they are benzos

people take them for anxiety

[vestal briar]

What if somehow a cancer patiant or similar got into the olympics

Let me rephrase that

What degree of drugs can you have in you

[gentle moss]

errr

roofies and sleeping pills aren't always benzos

and roofies definitely not

[wet steppe]

are you sure

[gentle moss]

that's rohypnol

yes

[vestal briar]

Yep

[wet steppe]

Flunitrazepam, also known as Rohypnol among other names,[1] is an intermediate acting benzodiazepine

[vestal briar]

Or Flunitrazepam apprently

[wet steppe]

thats a benzo

[gentle moss]

oh, interesting

[vestal briar]

"acting" 🤔

[wet steppe]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flunitrazepam

[vestal briar]

Rimmer was an "acting" captain

[gentle moss]

i thought it was in another class

[wet steppe]

no it benzo

[gentle moss]

benzodiazapines aren't as frequently prescribed as they used to be

[wet steppe]

I've been prescribed them 🤷

in UK

both for sleep and a seperate time for anxiety

[vestal briar]

I feel like weed has been just a normal medicane marketed secretly for years

[gentle moss]

same, but limited amounts and never a constant prescription

[vestal briar]

Something like that

[wet steppe]

I never tried weed IDK about weed really

[gentle moss]

a lot of modern drugs work better for anxiety than benos

[vestal briar]

Including weed

[wet steppe]

I don't agree
nothing worked better than benzo for me

[gentle moss]

cannabis is marketed as a drug

sativex

for people with uhhh

[lilac glade]

A seat?

Nope

[jagged fog]

Nah

They can see and breathe fine

[jagged fog]

it seriously look like some torture device

it can see??

[fervent dock]

bath protection?

[sand goblet]

So basically it's a bathing muzzle

Because cats hate to be bathed

[fervent dock]

but why

[sand goblet]

Now it can't bite you

[fervent dock]

omg

[jagged fog]

I thought it's something for the vet

[sand goblet]

It's useful for stray cats and such

They can see fine and it also keeps the water out of their eyes

[fervent dock]

surely this only makes the cat even more upset

and they can still scratch

[sand goblet]

Probably, but you have to clean a stray

[fervent dock]

mm

[sand goblet]

Anyway, that's all I have for now

The weird fleshlight looking thing hasn't come up in my feed again sadly

[fervent dock]

i get wish ads on facebook sometimes but its almost always clothes

[jagged fog]

it's targeted ads

[sand goblet]

I think they like to emphasise clothes

[jagged fog]

I get tech gadgets

[sand goblet]

When you sign up it asks what gendered clothes you like

[jagged fog]

gendered clothes? Like 2 or more?

[sand goblet]

No I mean like

Men's vs Women's

So it knows what category to give you

[jagged fog]

lmao I would't be suprised it they made oiptions for more fluid genders

[sand goblet]

Nah, it's just for the homepage

You can go to the others yourself

Oh god

The thing I was talking about just now

Showed up right on my homepage lol

So let's have a bonus round

[jagged fog]

oof coincidence? hihih

I'm laughing, that's def a fleshlight

[fervent dock]

hard through

[jagged fog]

"super soft"

[sand goblet]

IT WILL NOT DISTORT AFTER USE THOUSANDS OF TIMES

Well I was skeptical when I saw it a few days ago

I thought it was like one of those things you put in the tumble dryer to catch lint or whatever

But nope it is a fleshlight

[jagged fog]

it is?

[sand goblet]

On Instagram

Good times

Yes it is

[jagged fog]

yay I guessed it

I didn't actually think it is

[sand goblet]

I will not show you the other images lol

[jagged fog]

👀

[sand goblet]

There are no reviews

No public reviews anyway

Sads

[jagged fog]

4568 store ratings lmao

89 to 9

[sand goblet]

Oh nah there are

Just not on the page

[jagged fog]

9 euros to solve overpopulation

whack

[sand goblet]

People are saying they smell bad

Like a fake potpourri smell

Haha

[jagged fog]

well ofc when they are water proof 🤢

[sand goblet]

Most of the reviews are from women

Anyway, that's definitely all I have now, lol

I didn't expect that to actually be what it was

you know you could buy a brand new dell.. with high end specs for that sort of change..

[rain spindle]

@rough sapphire He specifically wants to learn macOS

[rough sapphire]

ahh

[rain spindle]

And a hackintosh is a bit much for what he wants to do

[rough sapphire]

the question why comes to mind..

[rain spindle]

Wanting to learn is valid enough in my opinion

Expanding your knowledge pool is always worth it

ultra conservatives i find weird

i'll give it a little listen because at least she's not o'queef

[lilac glade]

I feel dirty after last night.

[sand goblet]

why?

[lilac glade]

@rain spindle Didn't have to pay it. eBay covered it with a $20 coupon.

I have to scan a huge stack of photos and clippings

Google Chrome users will continue to have access to the full content blocking power of the webRequest API in their browser extensions, but only if they're paying enterprise customers.```

oof

[lilac glade]

"Fuck you pay us"
"Google has AdBlock if you have Enterprise"

Something about this tells me that Google thinks Chrome doesn't make them enough money.

[gentle moss]

well they're an ad company

[vestal briar]

ThE seRvErs CoSt tOO mUcH

[gentle moss]

and chrome is one of the most widely used browsers

[lilac glade]

I wonder what the stats on uBlock usage to date is.

That'd be something to look into.

[gentle moss]

seems like almost monopolistic behaviour

but not quite

[lilac glade]

But it is.

[gentle moss]

yeah, but not by a legal definition i think

[gentle moss]

maybe an argument could be made

but i think it'd be flimsy

[sand goblet]

Did you not read the github link I posted earlier?

:P

[wet steppe]

The legal measurements of monopoly are complex and very different from what people think

[sand goblet]

Not sure how that matters

whew, finally done with the scanning and the cropping

[wet steppe]

cos the result of that is
what google did is very likely not legally monopolistic behaviour

[sand goblet]

Nah, they're screwing their current users over money

we know that

[wet steppe]

😦

[sand goblet]

I mean it's obvious

Read the GH link, for the third time

[wet steppe]

Now that Google Chrome is the dominant browser, it is in a better position to shift the optimal point between the two goals which benefits Google's primary business.

apparently Google are also messing around with javascript

they are "supposed to" wait for stuff to be added to JS by the committee

but they just add stuff themselves

[sand goblet]

V8 has always done that, I think

[wet steppe]

and then the committee feels forced to add it to JS because so many people use it

[sand goblet]

Yeah, it's a real problem

You have a source for that?

I could use one

[wet steppe]

someone on discord said it

[sand goblet]

Ah okay

[wet steppe]

hmm I tried to find source but
this is a hard thing to search for

[sand goblet]

It is, yeah

[gentle moss]

i did read the github link

but i also read the register article

[sand goblet]

nods

[wet steppe]

reading

[sand goblet]

Hey @plush magnet, what do you think of this?

the whole JS thing

I wonder if we could find a source

I'm not sure what to google, too many beginner JS results

[plush magnet]

I'd search for tc39 pending things

and see if they're implemented in V8

https://github.com/tc39/proposals

[wet steppe]

ah yeah good idea 😄

[sand goblet]

lol I'm looking at some of these

the globalThis proposal

It is difficult to write portable ECMAScript code which accesses the global object

good.

[wet steppe]

lmao

[sand goblet]

OK, yep

Node has private fields on classes

There's a proposal for it there

[plush magnet]

can't find any news about it, also the major things from that list aren't implemented in the latest V8

yet

but I think it's not really okay if V8 implements something that's not in ES standard

because V8 is used in Chrome and Node which is the majority of JS "market"

[sand goblet]

Yeah

I agree

People are gonna use the features and then the committte can't say "no" without breaking shit

and tbh Google would probably ignore them lol

[plush magnet]

exactly

[sand goblet]

you heard about this ublock stuff, right?

[plush magnet]

yeah

[sand goblet]

Crazy stuff

[plush magnet]

not cool

[sand goblet]

it's so obviously profit-oriented, too

[plush magnet]

I hope this would force some people to move away from Chrome

[sand goblet]

I moved away when I first heard of it

and I was using vivaldi at the time

[gentle moss]

i never managed to move away from firefox ages ago

because i cba

[sand goblet]

yeah I'm on firefox now

[plush magnet]

doesn't Vivaldi rely on Chromium?

[sand goblet]

yes it does

[gentle moss]

and now it's all come back around \o/

my laziness has worked out in the long run

[plush magnet]

yeah, I too never switched from Firefox, I used Chrome for some time but Firefox was more comfortable for me

[sand goblet]

Vivaldi is an excellent browser

but, chromium

and let's be real

the reason we use adblockers is not because of google's ads

they're not annoying and they're not in your face

[plush magnet]

yeah

[sand goblet]

it's everyone else

and that's what google is ignoring

[plush magnet]

also, ublock is good for blocking cookie banners/popups

[sand goblet]

yeah

and a bunch of other stuff

[plush magnet]

the ones from Trust something were the most annoying

[sand goblet]

I use it to block autoplaying videos on recipe sites!

[plush magnet]

where you can disable cookies, but it's "saving your preferences" for a few minutes

oh, Firefox has a great autoplay blocking feature

[sand goblet]

it doesn't work

[wet steppe]

does this mean my adblock will no longer work on chrome

[plush magnet]

works for me 🤷

[sand goblet]

yes

[plush magnet]

yeah

it won't work anymore

[wet steppe]

WTF

[sand goblet]

that's precisely what it means lol

[wet steppe]

no adblock on anything?

[sand goblet]

Addons will "work" but they'll be limited to 30,000 ABP-like filter lines

[plush magnet]

there will be probably patches to Chromium which would bring back the API, but not from Google themselves

[sand goblet]

which is.. nowhere near enough control

[wet steppe]

but its working for me

oh wait

im on FF

[sand goblet]

well the change hasn't been pushed yet

[gentle moss]

it's a decent reason to migrate away from chrome

just as they got all that tasty tasty marketshare

[sand goblet]

don't forget that this will be pushed upstream to Edge too

although it's been shown that Google isn't happy with Edge

they do in fact detect Edgium and complain that it's an old browser on their sites

Six days after killing his in-laws, Nealy ordered pizza to the slain family’s home, police say, according to WFLA.```

Russian Twitter trolls have attempted to fuel the anti-vaccination debate in the U.S., posting about the issue far more than the average Twitter user last year, a study out of George Washington University has found. The "sophisticated" bots shared opinions from both sides of the anti-vaxxer debate, which took the U.S. by storm and prompted tech companies to crack down on the spread of misinformation surrounding vaccinations.```

It’s because pride erasure is far more disrespectful than someone telling u to cut that obnoxious shit out, in case u needed explaining

[dusky orchid]

@rough sapphire what are you talking about?

[rough sapphire]

The whole “lol the pride flag is acshully just a rainbow” is basically a /pol/dog whistle

“Reclaiming the rainbow” etc

[dusky orchid]

No idea what you're talking about or what convo your replies are stemming from. Please also avoid using the term tard here.

[rough sapphire]

K well keep enabling bigotry

Before u type a response maybe google it

[zinc sail]

This isn’t being friendly

[rough sapphire]

And ask “am I defending some bigoted shit without even knowing it?”

Yeah people generally aren’t friendly nor tolerant of bigotry

Good thing

Again

I don’t get it

Am I hitler? Or is someone else

[dusky orchid]

i don't think we're supposed to. they've failed to actually construct a basis of their argument

are there any good noisecancelling headphones that dont burn the ears

whats the dif

[summer rampart]

one presses on your ear, one goes in your ear and one covers your ear

[dusky orchid]

i love over-ear headphones

[rough sapphire]

over ear must be big af

[dusky orchid]

also if you mean it gets hot, get open cups maybe

[rough sapphire]

i dont care as long as my ears dont burn

[summer rampart]

the most recommended over-ear noise cancelling headphones are the Bose QC35 II and Sony WH-1000XM3

[rough sapphire]

but the noise cancelling goes away

[summer rampart]

if you get good fitting IEMs (In-Ear Monitor), they don't actively cancel noise but provide good isolation
