I’ve noticed that more and more things are breaking on a VPN. That’s my first guess. I’ve allowed all domains through on NoScript, but the dropdowns don’t do anything.

Takeout is offering no options other than CSV.

Reading through the documentation, SponsorBlock being baked in has nearly sold it for me. That said, I’ve been building up my history for years and am never shown anything outside of what I might enjoy watching. Is there a way to import that?

If you think the forks are bad, wait until you see the spoons! (Tip your waitress; try the veal.)

And if some of the forest burns, two birds, one stone.

And with all the microplastics polluting the ocean, that makes them …

plastic sturgeons.

Quite the read. There are lots of unknowns with any technological development throughout history, and as the article points out, we don’t yet even know where we are on the energy demand curve from AI.

Something that confuses me is that geothermal is mentioned only once. These companies have the money to site datacenters near EGS plants or even build their own, grid connection optional, and have upfront capex sted power bills for the life of the center.

This would admittedly require long-term thinking, which shareholders are completely uninterested in when infrastructure investments ding their dividends and buybacks.

Woohoo! Not our problem anymore!

Plastic makes it possible!

(I’m dating myself that I remember those ads.)

Odd … stepcattle doesn’t sound at all like the sort of thing involving jackboots and train cars.

At this point, using NoScript is muscle memory. No reason to add friction to a process, even if it may not be the most efficient method in terms of memory usage.

I first gave NoScript a spin sometime in the mid-2010s. It was an adjustment, to say the least. But once you get used to temporarily allowing a new target domain as a matter of course, holy hell does the whole game come into specific relief.

The Washington Post, for example – which I was a paid subscriber to until it shit the bed – wanted JS from some 25 domains (many of which were Amazon ad related). I also have NoScript on Firefox on my Pixel.

Firefox, uBO and NoScript are the floor for passable internet hygiene to me.

Unfortunately, the climate crisis doesn’t really bring the room together.

And you have the military in the middle. Historically, they’ve been loyal to country sted president. This is the experiment we’ve not yet seen.

The problems inherent to the system could be effectively papered over for a few decades by paying wages that outstripped inflation without layoff threats, allowed single-earner households to afford to own a house and two cars, take vacations, provide for several kids if they so chose, and then pensions.

The bootstrap group seems to forget what they had. Health insurance is certainly a major component, but single-payer on its own solves none of the other devolvements.

This just made me think of enchiladas! And sometimes, you want Christmas.

Shouldn’t they be busy screwing other things? Don’t need doors flying off.

GIMP suffers the same problem. If you’re used to CS, anything else is going to be a horrific experience.

I’ve not tried Inkscape. Is it a bit more friendly?

As you’re dealing with digital print output, Scribus may be a good option. That’s layout (something of a mix of Illustrator and InDesign), not image editing, but cropping photos is easily done in a variety of FOSS without having to be subjected to the learning curve of GIMP (so long as your RIP can translate RGB into CMYK, which was a solved problem in the aughts). I’ve admittedly only played around with Scribus a bit, but from what I can tell from your use cases, you’re not looking for the bells and whistles like trapping one needs for offset.

Are those small oranges currently in season?
