Adblockers are not that difficult to install, so I'd guess the slice of people who really resent ads enough to actually make purchasing decisions out of spite but also who still watch them isn't that big.

Merz criticized defenders of online anonymity, saying they are "often people who, from the shadows of anonymity, demand the greatest possible transparency from others."

Dude is non-comprehending and very offended to hear it

There is no ‘safe’ level for endocrine disruptors that mimic our natural hormones.”

I think the article is probably right that headphones have these chemicals and it is a bad thing, but as someone wearing headphones a large portion of hours in the day for the past few decades I'm wondering how much risk there actually is, which it doesn't seem to weigh in on very much.

"In the new legislation, there is a defence carved out in relation to [art and literature], but the defence has to be made out first … it has to be borne out in the court process.

Free speech but only if you go to court to prove you're allowed to say it...

I think the biggest issue is people are trying so hard to get you to think a certain way about politics, that having an actually good and proportional understanding of what is going on and what the real options are, and expressing that effectively, is somewhere between very difficult and impossible. Of course everything is enmeshed with politics, and you might care about that, but if you also know that you are not immune to being manipulated it might be a reason to think engaging in overtly political discourse won't be useful or good for you.

HB25 provides a means for enforcement of the law under the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. The Department would be required to establish a publicly available email address and online form for the reporting of violations. residents could also report what they believe to be violations by telephone or mail.

I wonder what the job of an ADEM Chemtrail Investigator will be like

If they have to put in all this effort to port their mods to Microsoft's new code, what about also porting them to an open source alternative

Maybe if my handwriting was that nice I would feel less embarrassed to leave petty insult letters

Seems to be broken in the same way, on Firefox but not Chromium

I tried playing it in VLC and it works there, I guess this is some kind of compatibility issue between your particular video and the web player (specifically the web player on lemmy.dbzer0?), since other videos don't seem to have this issue. One minute into the video the clock in the upper left shows 2:24 which is around 4 seconds short of where it should be. Edit: Also it seems this is only on Firefox.

Audio seems desynced by a few seconds for me

I feel like this is a pretty good "in media res" page

 

I was watching this video of a live chicken trapped on a moving truck and thought it was strange that it's not possible to say anything to them even when circumstances might warrant it. All we got is honking and waving. There could be a touchscreen interface with a map of nearby vehicles. It could be voice controllable or the passenger could do it for safety.

 

While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

 

The Block BEARD bill broadly applies to service providers as defined in section 512(k)(1)(A) of the DMCA. This is a broad definition that applies to residential ISPs, but also to search engines, social media platforms, and DNS resolvers.

Service providers with fewer than 50,000 subscribers are explicitly excluded

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
