Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved....
11 years ago, my kid's daycare surprised us by announcing that they were closing for Christmas break a day before everyone else, so I ended up with our then-four-year-old daughter, Poesy, at my office for the day.

Zwei Tage suchen um herauszufinden, dass der "minify"-Teil beim Javascript-zusammenbauen bootstrap so kaputt macht, dass die Dropdowns nicht mehr funktionieren. Frontend-Development und ich werden keine Freunde... #freu#not#Javascript#CSS
Forget Twitter: Amazon search is the poster-child for enshittification, in which Amazon locks you in (for example, with a year's shipping prepaid through Prime) and then you get recommended worse products while sellers make less money and Amazon pockets the difference. https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/29/aethelred-the-unready/#not-one-penny-for-tribute
Not all ads are created equally sleazy. The privacy harms from surveillance ads, though real, are often hard to pin down. But there's another kind of ad - or "ad" that picks your pocket every time you use an ecommerce site.

A small group of protesters (anti-Israel) (maybe 30-50?) just very loudly marched up our very quiet street blasting horns and carrying signs accusing my Dem. Rep. of supporting genocide (she doesn't). She lives 3 houses up from us, and now they're standing outside her house making a racket.
Hammy's barking up a storm, and I'm getting a headache.
gandi changed their free mail service (advertised as a free addition to your domain) to paid one and it cost 4EUR/month per mailbox, there is also a yearly option, which cost 48EUR/year 😄
The service isn't bad, but I wouldn't say it's great in some way either.
@dgr@fidel I understand why the proton bridge is needed for imap access to proton, but I don't think it's right architectural decision. migadu's approach looks more apropriate to me: https://migadu.com/procon/#not-encrypted
The #House just cancelled the rest of votes today & tmrw, after conservatives tanked a procedural vote for a long term spending bill & another long term spending bill was facing major issues.
House not back until after Thanksgiving now. #GOPfail
Writer hive mind: I have a character (young man, mid 20s) whose means of expression is primarily physical. He needs a hobby besides pranks, rough housing and chasing around with his brothers (199 & 243 year old teenage boys. They're vampires. He's not.)
Art seems ideal but there's a reason to not use that if I can find something else.
He and his brothers have a band. Their philosophy of music does not involve practicing.
Need something that is just his. He's not telling me who he is yet.
If that's an "invitation" for a suggestion; maybe a #BioChemist...? Something completely unrelated to the "band" but also entirely "related" to his brothers' #Vampiric-disposition...
I think they technically could, but won’t, and never have. using ReVanced isn’t nearly as much of a legal problem as Vanced, because ReVanced isn’t directly providing modified versions of the official app (which would be redistributing modified copyrighted material), and even then, only team Vanced themselves suffered the consequences, by being forced to shut down. Modifying whatever for your own personal use doesn’t come with any copyright issues.
Banning people who use ReVanced would be like banning people who use adblockers on desktop. not only it’s not sure if that is actually against their terms of services (they can probably make the argument that ad-less playback is supposed to be a paid feature, and getting it for free is bad), they would never realistically go out of their way to ban everyone who figured out a way to have YouTube without ads. how about browsers with built-in adblockers? how about people who set up adblockers at their router’s level, impacting everyone else connected to it?
it’s never impossible that they do it, but so far it has never happened. no website has ever banned its users for using adblockers; at most, they would display a popup forcing you to disable it to access the site (youtube actually does that, but said popup is just as easily blocked than ads themselves). considering the huge amount of "what if"s, I don’t believe it will ever happen, especially not with no warnings.
Vengo de un evento familiar: hubo dos horas y media (tal vez más) de controversia ininterrumpida de política. Me siento pletórico. #Not. Nomás quiero ver mi novela y fugarme del cansancio mental tamaño jumbo que me cargo.

Yes, Ubuntu Is Withholding Security Patches for Some Software (www.flu0r1ne.net)
youtube on modern phones sucks
Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription....
