Was same in Finland, we also nowdays just apply a income dependant tax here.

I’d fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I’d probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.

Oh some local vinegar based biofriendly cleaning spray. Good for all surfaces except lcd- and plasma screens, per the label and my own experience.

Nope, but I’m not going to try smelling the brushes.

I guess there are many kinds of, cheap and less cheap. Here’ s a pic of the set I got from a finnish online hardware store for 10€.

I bet you can get a similar generic one from whatever hardware store’s your country has.

Carved a wooden butter knife, from aspen, as a christmas gift for my mother in law.

And in the present I’ve fallen back to using flash drives, because every cloud file hosting service is unreliable or a privacy nightmare. History is like a usb stick you keep rotating until it fits.

But do not watch the sequel. It ruins the whole beautiful thing.

At least part of it survives. Better some than none.

It continues marching on as The Eye.

Its working for me now, I tested it this morning. Even tried swithching the user agent back to Firefox and yep - Youtube gets magically some buffering problems with it.

Close youtube tab, switch user agent back to chrome, clear cache and restart the browser: no buffering problems. What a bunch of assholes.

I’ve reported this earlier to EU competition ombudsman, like a about a year ago, and they confirmed then that they were getting reports about the issue, Google of course denying the practice. Hopefully they are working on some punishment for Google in the background.

I have never encounteted a PWA that works better than a website OR an app - this from users actual usability viewpoint. They are a cancer, that sits right in between the worst of both worlds.

Actually, does anyone with the knowhow know if the rules and filters made for uBlock work any differently in Chrome, Firefox or Safari? Arent they just html and javascript?

I’m a humanist, and the last time I played with html was in the 90’s, so fuck if I know about anything thats happening beyond the ui.

There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.

And people like you are the reason I’m suspicious of all Canadians here. Actually met a yank who first identified himself as a Canadian. Wasnt too happy when he got told on his assholeness.

Dont be an asshole, dont be a fake Canadian. Sorry for my suspicion to any actual Canadians.

I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is ‘ad’, not add.

Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It’s also a security feature in the post-2000’s internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.

Huh. Wonder why its so finicky. Oh well, maybe I’ll give it another go in the future.

Does it work anymore? I’ve been getting the 500 error while trying to use it for a couple of months non stop.

Doesnt seem to work for many people (Cloudflare has stopped supporting it?), judging by reading reviews on Mozilla extension store.

Yes, exactly like that - thanks! I also realize now that apparently I’m blind for not seeing all the text formatting options right there under my nose.
