I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...
Using firefox+ublock origin. Showed up once for me but I found out that youtube enchancer also has their own ad blocker. Once I disable their ad blocker I haven't had any issues since.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It requires you to watch till the end to get the full payoff and everything clicks together and makes sense but I thought it was fun and out there.
Ruby Franke, the YouTube mommy blogger behind the channel 8 Passengers, was arrested last week after her 12-year-old son climbed out a window and ran to a neighbor's house asking for food and water.
Damn this seems like a hot take given the comments but I think these rules are dumb. If I go on a two week vacation somewhere else I should be able to rent out my place for those two weeks. The issue isn't AirBnB as a whole, it's people buying up places for the express intention of only using it for AirBnB,
There should be some cap on often a place can be used for short term rentals like 4 weeks out of the year, enough that people who vacation somewhere else can use AirBnb and low enough that it makes more financial sense for people to rent it out long term instead of short.
100% agree and while at it I don't think any single family homes or rowhouse/townhouses should be owned by corporations. Apartments and such I can understand the building owned by a management company that only does long term rentals but otherwise homes should be owned by people.
I can understand trying to teach someone via visuals or by talking to them but I can't figure out how you would teach someone multiplication or about government services or scammers without either.
In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
My brother in law is like this. He keeps a yearly journal on google drive and his logic is that since he keeps it on google drive he doesn't care if google know everything about him or not. The convenience of having it heavily outweighs any privacy that he might have. Though I wonder if him growing up in an authoritarian country has something to do with it.
The U.S Supreme Court on Friday was set to rule on the legality of President Joe Biden's plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt - a move intended to benefit up to 43 million Americans and fulfill a campaign promise.
As a non american last I heard about this some business owners are suing because they didn't take out any students loans and thus wouldn't be eligible for the forgiveness right?
Does that mean if the SCOTUS sides against the forgiveness then others would be able to sue to get the forgiven business loans to be paid back?
Apps are always nice, but lots of mobile websites, including the kbin one, are entirely functional as an app. In your browser you can just make a shortcut to them, and they'll appear on your home screen and act as an app....
Got suspended for criticising spez. So now I'm spending my time here and have already setup communities for !pathfinder2e and !talesfromretail. Good riddance to Reddit.
Communities/magazines don't sync right away, someone has to try to access the community from kbin first then in the background the federating starts. Sometimes is takes a while but once it's done all the new posts/comments will show up but not the older stuff. It looks like the pathfinder2e is working now at least for me.
No, I'm going to wait until about Aug to fully delete since some of my posts/comments keep coming back. I want to make sure I overwrite them before deleting

I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.
