Can I assume you're talking about the new ad system? I see a lot of concern over it, but no real explanations on why it's worse than the current cookie-based identification system. Can you enlighten me?
It sounds like Google could have done a much better job announcing and explaining how the new system works. This is a definite improvement in privacy over the "cookie" standard in advertising. I don't know if turning this off just keeps you locked-in to using cookies, but it doesn't turn off identification like a lot of you seem to imply.
To those of you out there not using an adblocker: this new system eliminates the use of advertiser-based cookies. All your identification is based on a minimal number of categories based on your browsing history. It doesn't send your actual history to an advertiser, just some (5, I think?) topics that have held your interest within the last few weeks. I'm sure there's a list of these keywords sent to the ad-server so it can decide what to send. I don't really care what they are, because I'm in the next group.
To those of you out there using Firefox and/or an adblocker: carry on, nothing to see here. Keep promoting your favorite non-Chrome based browser and adblocker.

I can probably modify the script to block these bots, because they all have the same username. I would just look for the title and remove the posts that equal @bOt.
This might be a better task for the dev-team, because my method is definitely a work-around. There could already be an open issue for it on the github. I think we agree that blocking bots should be built into the API.
I've tried programming a few greasemonkey scripts to do some things. So far I have a script that expands all posts (except NSFW), and makes all post links open in a new tab. So far they only work on old.lemmy.world. I've tried scripting the same thing to work on the default interface, but it seems to work quite differently.
If there's something in the post that makes bots obvious, it should be simple to find them, and then just make them not render. If you have a specific post you could point me to, I'd like to look into it.
If at first you don't succeed...
It doesn't say if the people in the home ever told him to stop. Did he know there were people in there? If he did, why did he break the window?
The ex did once. I came home and had to cover a basement window with plywood.
I agree with your sentiment, but the quote is from Corolanius. Marcius (a Roman general) is cursing his own men for retreating from an assault upon an enemy city. He's very upset.
I'm sure that's fine. Most homes have unisex bathrooms.
Long nails do it to me. If you have long nails I assume you sit on your ass all day doing fingernail shit.
It would be if you threw it in some boiling water.
Your Arby's has pre-sliced roast beef? I've had to wait because they needed to slice more beef.
Most of my family are Trump supporters, so....
