uBO effectively blocks every ad that can be blocked. Youtube has started to insert the ads directly into the video stream and that’s not practically blockable.

Combining multiple ad blockers can interfere with ad blocking, though. Try creating a new, temporary profile with default settings and no addons, installing uBO, and see if it’s still broken.

This was much less of an issue back when you couldn’t open a bank account in someone’s name from halfway across the world. Phishing and identity theft were impossible to pull off until companies started trusting phone services and later the internet. You needed to show up in person with a realistic fake ID to do anything malicious. What else would you do? Spend (converted into modern currency) 25 bucks a minute on an international call to scam someone?

Now that nobody meets face to face for stuff like cashing a cheque or even ordering a large quantity of groceries anymore, the few bits of personal information we can use to prove our identity are the only things protecting us.

If there are obligations, Firefox is such a fringe user agent these days that they can probably go without supporting it. The 3.8% of Swedes not using Chromium or Safari will fall off any serious compatibility requirements.

I doubt anything will break in Firefox, though. They just don’t want the burden of having to support a few hundred people when Firefox implements a feature slightly wrong/non-standard/not at all.

Respecting GPC is pretty cool, never seen real a website do that.

There are other political parties, but because of the way American elections are structured, they have basically no chance of gaining any influence on a large scale. Dividing the vote just reduces the chances of your preferred party in the current system. If a “Republican-but-not-Trump” party would gain popularity, it’d divide the vote 50/25/25 and the Democrats would overwhelmingly win.

Third parties have a handful of representatives but they’re effectively powerless on a large scale.

This is very difficult to fix as it would require restructuring elections to remove the third party disadvantage. Neither party currently in power is a fan, because they only stand to lose votes when such a system is organised. I don’t think it’ll ever happen unless the USA collapses or we get some kind of united world government or something.

I’ve had the opposite happen. I (unknowingly, at the time) rejected a girl whose friends told me she liked me by going “haha okay then” and walking off, assuming it was a joke. Only realised nobody was laughing and it probably wasn’t a joke ten years later when the memory popped back into my head.

She seemed pretty happy dating another guy when I last saw her. Good for her, hope I didn’t hurt her too much by dismissing her like that. Would’ve absolutely crushed me had I been in her position.

There are many reasons why your hands may tend to shake, and none of them are masturbation. And no, you won’t go blind either.

Talk to your doctor if you worry about this stuff. Shaky hands could be a symptom of a harmless combination of your genetics (essential tremor, that kind of stuff), not getting enough sleep, stress, or it could be a sign of something bad (early onset Parkinson’s, thyroid issues), or maybe it’s just low blood sugar. Don’t listen to the internet for medical stuff, get a professional’s opinion!

As for sex toys, some people swear by them, others find them more trouble than they’re worth. They won’t stop your hands from shaking but that doesn’t mean you can’t try them if you’re interested.

It’s a fake website, probably the result if yma search engine using bad metrics to rank websites. They want you to enable notification access. If you grant it, it’ll spam ads in your browser notifications, which is how these trash sites make money.

Bleeding edge or easy to use, take your pick. I think Suse and Endeavour are your best bets for both but neither do both perfectly.

As for Wayland, assume it doesn’t work but maybe you’ll get lucky. As for lightness, I find Gnome and KDE to work perfectly fine even under performance constrained environments. Depends on what you call “light”, I guess. The biggest differentiator these days is (the lack of) hardware video acceleration, on all platforms.

Plenty of people don’t fall in line, but those aren’t the ones you’ll see on your social media feeds. The perception filter works two ways, only the kids stuck online for too long seriously start using that type of language and shitty social media can trick you into thinking it’s a universal thing.

The point is to hide the swears and controversial topics from the TikTok moderation AI. TikTok deprioritises videos featuring things like swears, ugly people, controversial topics, and certain imagery. If you want to have reach, you need to use shitty codewords that everyone can see through but the algorithm has not been updated to include yet.

What I find much more interesting is the way the broader American(ised) culture(s) treat “the n-word”. It’s the exact same thing the kids do with swears, but across all ages on all media.
