Does seem to work in Firefox focus for me on latest android, though I admit I didn’t bother trying regular ff.as I can’t be arsed to whitelist yt stuff in NoScript even temporarily
It’s pretty amazing here, coming from a European country that is known for its nature (and not a huge amount of tourism), and Colorado is definitely on our list of places to visit as it looks beautiful. Only really visited California/Nevada national parks in the past and some smaller places in Washington…and yeah Illinois is nowhere on our list of places to visit, so I can imagine how it must make you feel some days, coming from Colorado
Sadly didn’t see one, but it may have just come off on the concrete barriers lol.
He did actually crack the 2nd concrete barrier that stopped him, noticed that as I drove past earlier
You can also pierce your ear drum with that thing (if something hits your elbow at the wrong moment) …about 12 years later and it’s almost as good as it was before it happened 😎😵
Two more insurers are pulling out of California’s troubled homeowners insurance market, straining a marketplace that already has seen the pullback of several other companies that have cited increase costs related to wildfire risks....
You’d think that’s the insurance companies would be greedy enough to sue oil companies for damages, you could probably try to make that case, but alas it’s easier to drain regular people dry and then fuck off.
There isn’t all that much out there about Brendon Small though and what I could find he should be a decent enough person…plus I liked Metalocalypse quite a bit, so that helps me 😁
Dunno much about Bryan Beller, Nili Brosh or Gene Hoglan, just saw a few random videos with them so hard to gauge.
The European Commission is pushing for the post-pandemic recovery fund not to be repeated — as well as for conditions on financing of poorer regions....
Don’t worry, no poor people will be hurt by this decision, at least not more than they’re already hurting themselves by electing thieving bastards.
Same kind of people were getting the money anyway, so this is just rich not wanting the slightly less rich, but not smart enough to bribe lobby correctly, to get more money.
I have, what you may call “close ties” with one of those countries so “pretend” communism isn’t any better. (hint: most of my life wasn’t spent in the “west”)
If you listen to Canadian politicians, the solution to our housing crisis seems to be some combination of immigration reform and a herculean countrywide building effort....
It would be fun to see what would happen if single citizen/PR over 18 wasn’t allowed to own more than 2 properties per province, 1 per region and corporations couldn’t own anything that isn’t an apartment building.
I’m sure it’s not that simple to proof it against abuse those useless realtor wankstains like to come up with, perhaps break-up that oligopoly at the same time?
It would still allow couples to technically own 4 homes which does sound like a lot in the long run, but it could be tweaked as things shape up.
I still like my NoScript, sometimes I just take it as an indicator of who makes shitty sites.
If I end up on a site that’s completely blank and it isn’t important for me to interact with it, Ieave.
Surprisingly even news sites often load better than most others with NoScript disabling everything on them, I guess at the end of the day they still really need people to read them otherwise they’d become completely irrelevant?
I’ve seen complaints (Reddit I think?)that it just makes it cumbersome to do stuff when there are cascading lists of domain opening as you enable one, but if you’re the kind of person that permanently whitelists all of them at that point, I don’t think any amount of add-ons are going to save you, but I do like puzzles so I don’t mind figuring out what needs to be toggled for site to work.
The big downside is making payments on sites with silly amounts of 3rd parties involved (Im looking at you Costco), but it’s a bit better than it used to be when there was concern about getting charged twice, now it’s more like…don’t get charged and wonder why they didn’t process your payment.
Edit: is it NoScript or ublockorigin that blocks ads on prime video? It’s one or the other which is nice if you’re watching something on pc rather than TV, I guess I should test.
You want Tubular for Android TV though as newpipe doesn’t work on it. Navigation is not great on Android TV, specifically on a video that’s playing but you get used to it.
Thanks for the info, I definitely have to consider an alternative like that in the future.
For the time being I tend to just enable 1 domain at a time temporarily and see if shit works, if it doesn’t, disable it again. It works ok, as I’ve gotten used to seeing a specific few domains or commonalities between the payment type ones. But yeah probably similar to you I keep very few things allowed by default globally and have even begun reducing them lately.
If it’s a really big hassle atm I’ll revert to chrome (didn’t have to yet) since those fuckers already have my card details anyway, but luckily I don’t really do all that much shopping online so not a huge issue…the most common thing I do is top up my travel card for local transport and I use it like once a month, so that probably tells you a lot.
When Republicans gained control of the House in November 2022, many in Washington wondered how they would be able to govern effectively with one of the slimmest majorities in history. Some Democrats even speculated if they might be able to take back the House before the term ended....
Wouldn’t surprise me the least if these early retirements were all planned so that Dems get house control few months before elections, can’t accomplish anything with it because bunch of them are just as useless (double agents?) as republicunts, and republicunts get to blame all the inactivity over these two years on dems and everyone will eat it up
Yup, they’ll probably have to add membership card scanner to food court and do exclusive self-order only on the touchscreens if they really want to “crack down” on this since you may still be allowed in if you say you’re going to the pharmacy.
Been to a few Costco’s in US/Mexico with outside food courts too, so that would be about the only way, unless they build walls around them.
It’s maddening isn’t it, and probably not that different between US and Canada.
I don’t think you even need to go as far as China to see autoindustryasshattery in effect, just look at our Southern neighbors in Mexico who aren’t getting fair share on the produced vehicles while parent companies/dealerships reap profits, but that’s probably a different conversation altogether…I mean something is seriously fucking wrong when a car dealer is also one of the biggest grocery chains and god knows what else (that one is Canada, not US)
