  • I’d be more likely to just assume delivery quality was going downhill and look for another streaming video hoster/provider. Why would someone link slow speeds to a plugin that filters out the stuff you don’t want?

  • Currently blocking ads consists of keeping uBlock Origin up to date. Not blocking ads generally means going to a different platform after a single ad roll.

    I have no issues with pre-roll ads; it’s the interstitial ones that drive me away.

  • Pacifist yes — definitely not an anarchist. He instructed his followers to obey all laws in all situations that didn’t conflict with loving God and loving other people. However, he despised “tradition” and flaunted it constantly.

  • If they know I’m blocking their ads, why wouldn’t they just block the video altogether? That’s what they currently do.

    If it’s already blocked, slowing it down to “blocked… but slower” seems rather pointless?

  • LA needs to pull a fast one and hold the protests in Pasadena, leaving the military stuck in gridlock.

  • Regular store digital walkie talkies come with “encryption” these days, which is essentially an xor encryption on the channel packets. Trivial to decode, but the person has to first know what frequencies you’re on and then what shift you’re using.

    So, it won’t stop a government from providing the decoded data as evidence, but it would likely stop anyone from knowing what you’re saying in real-time.

  • I’m waiting for a party split over her bold statement that she built the party.

    So then there’d be two parties, both population: 1.

  • Depends on the action needed.

    Personally, I feel like for health and safety items, after 48 hours the renter should be able to call someone to do the repair on their behalf and bill the landlord any reasonable fees / withhold that money from the next month’s rent.

  • My kids don’t use LLMs because they take longer and do a worse job (still) than just writing it up themselves.

    They DO use LLMs like people used to use Wikipedia, and Encyclopedia Brittanica before that: to surface information to investigate.

    But I’ve taught them that writing is a method to communicate your knowledge, not to pass some sort of educational hurdle. So using ChatGPT would be useless anyway, as it doesn’t contain their insights.

  • It’s about protecting a world view that props up his value system by dismantling anything that might call it into question.

  • Just imagine what would happen if there was a protest to protect Palestinian immigrants.

  • LibreOffice is offline; each person can run the software in their own device to create and edit documents.

    It’s features are equivalent to 2010 Office. That’s not necessarily bad, but it’s not how people usually work today.

    Collabora lets you host documents on a central server and have multiple people edit at once, dynamically tracking changes and allowing full revision management. Or, you can keep your documents local and not host them if you don’t want to.

  • He pre-dates ALL CAPS. For him, that means it’s a new paragraph in a legal document or he forgot to turn off caps lock.

    He’ll underline it instead.

  • Yes it is… but it actually allows for collab features that LibreOffice doesn’t have.

  • https://www.kleankanteen.com/

    Been using them for 15 years; the bottles get a few dents in them, but I’ve even been able to hammer most of those out.

    Haven’t used a plastic water bottle since the early 90s.

  • I wonder why they chose LibreOffice instead of Collabora?

  • The one I use is part of a hardware UTM, but I also use Lockdown VPN on iOS, and https://pi-hole.net/ in a container on my LAN, and then VPN all my devices to my home network when I’m not at home.

  • Depends on the browser/OS.

    My go-to for general browsing is Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript, which I also use in Edge; I have a few browsers that are still using uMatrix, and I have a proxy filter that strips calls to .js URLs by default except for specifically allowed URLs.
