Are you implying they’ll remember their own actions? Doubt it.

A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

Politically Left: “Society combine for everyone”, Politically Right: “Freedom for everyone at all cost”

CORRECTION

Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

Fun Fact: The emergence of the “left” / “right” distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.

I feel the need to repost CGP Greys Playlist on Voting (or why the american version is so very very bad)

Well, he made that dishwasher video a few years ago, sooo…

I got that T-Shirt reference

Also my favorite tidbit from the comments there:

Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.

Good ol’ uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.

Just get into the routine of going to ublock origin addon each morning, clear the caches and loading all filters. Close all youtube tabs and reopen them. Those daredevils are playing anti-anti-adblock with youtube via blocklists daily now.

Ah, if it doesn’t work, disable all addons, restart browser, update filters, try. If it works, enable addons one-by-one until the method suddenly fails.

Also pi-hole and similar adblocking solutions can cause this now, so you might need to remove those, add exceptions or stuff. It’s tedious, but doable.

Might be time to migrate to indiviuous as my new youtube frontpage (uses youtube as video source, nothing lost) or setup my own instance of it. My TV runs smarttubenext for years now, anyway, which is way better than the original yt app.

Vegetables do provide some nutrients and buffering, yet they’re not an absolutely necessary main source IF you have access to good quality meat, eggs, fish, etc. Those things have a very high micronutritiants-content, as long as they are of good quality.

On Rabbit poisoning, looked it up. That is based on an absolutely purely protein-based diet with little to no intake of fat and carbs, as far as I understand that right now. I did not state that eating purely protein is okay, just that the body can make up for deficiencies in fat or carbs as needed. So eating nothing but chicken meat without any fat or carbs would likely cause rabbit poisoning symptoms as well. Which is, again, not what I stated.

That is correct. Your Body mostly needs good protein sources (there’s no such thing as too much protein intake except if liver/kidney diseases exist already) since it can only reuse part of those in the body, not synthesize all necessary forms of it. Everything else (fat and carbohydrates) is purely energy. Sugar, starches and anything with sugar is just carbs to the body in different forms. The body can synthesize those as needed, whatever of both is deficient. Your body most likely runs a lot better on fat, according to anyone who tried.

AFAIK they said within this year.

But I expect that most addons won’t work out-of-the-box on release day. Many of them will be either conceptionally incompatible or too resource intensive for most Android phones, which makes Android kill the app. The Devs said they created a framework to fix this issue, which extension devs can use to adapt their extensions for mobile browsers.

Don’t expect every single addon to work right away. It’ll take time - probably a year or so - until most relevant extensions support mobile Firefox.

Big companies are not to be trusted. That has never changed and probably never will. So yes, this is definitely a loophole that is probably exploited a lot.

And as is so often the case - as annoying as it is - anyone with enough knowledge bypasses all this crap.

In this particular case: an add-on that automatically accepts all cookies and one that automatically deletes all cookies after closing the tab or browser, excluding a defined list of exceptions and specific rules defined therein. I don’t need to mention adblockers and DNS obfuscators; everyone with half a brain uses them anyway. The same applies to mobile browsers. Firefox is currently still one of the last remaining defenders against the Chrome epidemic (it has unfortunately lost in the iPhone world due to technical K.O. ).

Needs more JPEG

I feel ya. Same for me. I really have to force myself to NOT doomscroll short videos whatever the platform may be. Being able to focus for long durations on a single activity ain’t easy, but way more rewarding than eating a bunch of M&Ms one by one at high speeds.

I guess this is how smokers who try to quit feel.

Which is good.

The Withdrawal Symptoms are real… I actually picked up reading mangas online as a replacement. Still have difficulties focusing on that one activity. Reddit has really damaged this ability of mine that I have to rebuild now…

People started putting all kinds of fillings into sushi like chicken, beef, sausages, vegetables and whatnot. So… fresh fish ain’t a requisite for sushi anymore.

IMHO different purposes. From highest to lowest content value:

Forums: Topic-specific, ongoing discussion, like sitting around a table with a sign above it saying what it is about (title) and people discussing one at a time, giving everyone time to think about their arguments and speeches. Slow, effective, tends to get off on the wrong tangent, and therefore prone to bashing until someone reminds everyone what the title was. This slowness is what makes people think, and therefore prioritises the accumulation of knowledge. I’ve seen plenty of forum threads where there was no answer at first, but slowly a proper one emerged. The big disadvantage of forums is that, as an outsider, you have to find the answer deep in the threads. There are now mechanisms to promote the best answer, chosen by the poster or by voting. This helps, but you get the same side effects as with message boards. Speaking of which…

Message boards (Reddit, Lemmy, 4chan (technically), Mastodon, Twitter,…): Focused on a discussion, but less on textual content, more on media content. Where forums are all about speeches and discussion, message boards are all about quick comments. Great for having fun, not great for getting people to think about what they are saying. Adding voting mechanisms simply solves the problem of searching for the best answer, but the nature of message boards makes it more rare for people to create that best answer. High thread throughput mitigates this to some extent, but it’s exhaustive on all parts (infrastructure, mods, participants). As a side effect, voting encourages radical behaviour for the sake of higher self-esteem, stifling niche discussions and encouraging broad topic superficial discussions. I have to add, though, that doing this karma stuff like on reddit, where you accumulate upvotes in a giant imaginary bucket, has worsened these side effects enormously. Voting is not a bad idea if it’s done as simply as possible, so that it doesn’t lead to posting just to fill an imaginary bucket with imaginary points.

Chats and chat-focused apps (IRC, Discord, Whatsapp, …) focus on small, quick messages. Long discussions are rare, as no one except the active participants at the time of the discussion benefits from finding a good answer to a question. Especially if looking it up means going through a history of short messages one by one to understand the answer. That’s just not the point. Chats are literally just that: A quick conversation between people on the go. You’re not going to write a proper master’s thesis by chatting, although it might help you find your way from time to time.

And finally, the comment sections. This place was never intended to be a place of knowledge creation. It’s just a big open space in front of a stand where people can randomly shout stuff at random people about what they’ve seen at that stand, usually with no intention of getting better opinions. It’s just “here’s my opinion, do what you want with it”.

As Mark Twain once said: “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead”.

Same. If you have a regular car like everyone else that just works, then this one would be the weird cool tinker project just for the heck of it.

I use subscriptions only for a long time and occasionally throw off dead weight there. No need for such a feature to be honest. I get most new interesting channel either by recommendations from youtubers i subscribed to or from random links like on lemmy. Which happens rarely, like, I subscribe to 5 new channels max per year, and remove about the same number each year.

At least for me this is what I get when trying to install it. I have to request free access manually. I don’t like that business model.
