I know that some distros package Firefox extensions. Debian is one, here's one example: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/webext-ublock-origin-firefox. So you could sudo apt install webext-ublock-origin-firefox

I realised long ago that the human brain is not capable of handling everything that's happening all around the world, all the time. I'm selective about what media I consume and I make extensive use of blocklists for things that aren't my fight.

Idea: reinstate the old law that required all cars to be preceded by a pedestrian carrying a large red warning flag. /hj

I got back into Shapez 2 recently and getting the factory flowing has been really fun. I like that you don't have to try and figure out how to cram everything into a tiny space, you can take as much room as you like to make well-designed factories.

(I have absolutely no idea how to even start to build a Make Anything Machine though)

Moreso!

That's more than two hundred quid's worth? Christ, they've gotten pricey.

As others have said, the best way to do this is to use a platform that has good block list features (most Fediverse platforms qualify), and then curate your block list. You can block users, communities, and instances you don't wish to see here on Lemmy. Mastodon might be for you, because you can also block keywords (Mastodon and Lemmy will happily talk to each other, so you can subscribe to Lemmy communities from a normal Mastodon account and post simply by mentioning the community, or comment by replying to an existing post).

Unfortunately they require "proof of liveness", you have to open your mouth or tilt your head or whatever. There are ways around it but I too have nuked my Reddit account and returned to Lemmy today.

One other thing to try: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper (presumably also available for other browsers). Then hold shift while you reload the page, and play the media. Chances are extremely good the addon will catch it and start dancing in your toolbar. Open the addon, click the file you want to download, and it should just download.

I support this decision.

Thanks for looking out for us, Ada. <3

Bold of you to assume Northern paid a voice actor and didn't just sit a random driver down in front of a microphone. /joke

How did you think it was pronounced?

Not judging you for not magically knowing how random place names are pronounced or anything, genuinely curious.

Got it in one! Or, two. You got it in two.

But I would've let it lie, Vic!

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. You clearly aren't engaging in good faith so this conversation ends here. Have a nice day. :)

Ah, my good old friend the slippery slope fallacy. I haven't seen you for checks watch a couple of days.

I would've let it lie!

Free speech, sure.

Freedom from consequences, absolutely fucking not.

I've been rewatching Vic Reeves Big Night Out on All4. Presumably because I hate my sanity and want to confuse myself? /joke

Rest in peace.
