yukichigai , to piracy in YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

I would absolutely love to see a revitalization on proxy software specifically designed to eliminate ads and tracking. I haven’t looked into this in quite some time but I think we’re crossing into this territory now.

Privoxy is still being actively worked on. Not sure how well it works for YouTube though. I suppose we may see a flurry of activity on that front if they keep pushing this.

And for those of you on Android, there's always SmartTubeNext and NewPipe.

Good(?) to know that borderline cults are just as entitled no matter what part of the world they're in.

Adiago's IngenuiTEA is amazing for making loose leaf tea stupidly easy. I was gifted a few and I use at least one daily.

I'm sure someone's made a decent copycat design if you have some aversion to the brand, though I dunno why you would.

That's why you load it with a half cup of sugar.

yukichigai , to technology in Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, this seems like the kind of thing they'd try to push on Business/Pro+ users, where management is willing to fork out absurd amounts of money monthly as long as the per-seat price can be vaguely justified. Doing this for home users would just be dumb. Plenty of people would see the monthly subscription and go "eh I don't need a computer, I can just use my phone."

Cigarettes != tobacco. Tobacco is an ingredient in cigarettes, and not the only one, not by a long shot. Literally dozens of additives are included in cigarettes, many of which are designed to make them more addictive.

Secondly, modern tobacco absolutely was "made" the way it is, first through selective breeding and then genetic modification to (among other things) increase Nicotine content. Much in the same way that modern weed is far stronger than the stuff grown 50 years ago, so too is tobacco.

So's hemlock, what's your point?

@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

Normally I'd agree, but cigarettes in particular are a product that is designed to be as addictive as possible with a laundry list of negative health impacts and virtually zero positive ones. Combine that with the fact that you aren't just putting it in your body but the body of anyone within breathing distance of you, there's a strong case to be made for banning them outright.

Put it another way, if cigarettes are legal then marijuana, LSD, MDMA, and a whole host of other drugs should be legal too.

Sorry buddy, this is a police station, not the jungle. You should've made that left turn at Albuquerque.

yukichigai , to memes in Don't get your hopes too high
@yukichigai@kbin.social avatar

Kbin is an absolutely fantastic platform that has held up remarkably well given that it was not ready for the sudden influx of new users.

Plus side: a lot of bugs are being identified and quickly.

Minus side: Poor ernest can only do so much about them in a given time frame.

I still want to make this my primary Fediverse account simply because I like the idea of being able to use one account for both Lemmy and Mastodon content, but I have a backup on SDF that I need to use sometimes because things just don't work right here.

Also not being able to see bots is a massive downside. Rather, not being able to see the formally declared bots; the dodgy bots masquerading as actual users slip through just fine.

A big bowl of Desecrated Neko Falafel does sound like a pretty satisfying lunch, now that you mention it.
