Tim Berners-Lee already sold the soul of the Internet when he approved web DRM.

This is just two twats arguing; neither deserves our trust!

You must be an electrical engineer or something, since you're apparently so used to thinking about flows backwards.

They should display all your accounts as a word cloud and have you draw a line (directional arrow) from the source to the destination. Yes, using your finger (on a touchscreen) or the mouse.

Hmm... I bet somebody could make a tool that references the Sponsorblock database to download all the sponsored segments, apply some AI to figure out who the sponsor is, and then insert it into another database of statistics about who is sponsoring Youtubers, on which channels, and how often.

Then folks like @ExtremeDullard@piefed.social could avoid them easily simply by checking that handy list.

It's a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

Your first sentence contradicts your second. Clearly, there are zero cities in your enormous state that take public transportation seriously.

It's crazy how most Americans have absolutely zero concept of just how bad even "good" infrastructure and city design in the US is, or how much better it could be.

*Pulaski. As much as it might've pleased Rick Berman, casting Polanski would've made it a very different show.

I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”

No it's not. Well, at least not in terms of urbanism/mobility, anyway; YMMV on your household budgeting.

The answer is that you shouldn't have to get in a car at all between your home and your local coffee shop to begin with. It should be no more than a short walk (or wheelchair ride or whatever), door to door.

Touchscreen kiosks are hard to reach through car windows.

Of course, the real solution is banning drive-throughs because they're fucking terrible urbanism to begin with:

Lucyyy!

Been using Kubuntu for 7 years now, after having previously used Ubuntu, Debian and Gentoo.

Not sure if that means Kubuntu belongs on the "Plateau of Sustainability" or if I'm just permanently stuck at "trauma-induced return to Ubuntu," LOL

The thing about your turn of phrase that seems odd to me is that you're focusing specifically on the videos you see soon after uploading/before other users have a chance to flag Sponsorblock, and not all sponsors equally. Your boycott shouldn't depend on whether you see the sponsor segment or not; it should depend on whether it's there at all to begin with.

Anybody else feel like the root cause of a lot of our problems is failure to enforce anti-trust law?

(That and bad Euclidean zoning, but just this once that isn't the part I'm focusing on.)

It's turmeric, not chili powder.

But yeah, it's still dumb unless the turmeric is a lot cheaper than proper flea medicine.

That's what happens when your bathtub is made out of plastic instead of enameled cast iron.

Never forget what was stolen from us.

1. "Open in new tab" all the interesting links on a page, intending to read them next.
2. Don't get to them immediately.
3. Start reading some other unrelated page.
4. Repeat.

I hope to pare it down to under 10!

10 factorial, i.e. 3,628,800? Sounds tough (not sure I could manage it myself), but I have faith in you!

(Seriously though, my OneTab list has 1736 tabs in it, and that's not counting the ones in a different browser profile. Send help.)

and alone.

It's because the government had already (via the zoning code) destroyed most "third places" where people used to get together in person, and the billionaire-controlled traditional media and social media have conspired to suppress anti-fascist sentiment online.

Feeling alone is how They want you to feel.

Hmm... I could've sworn that whole block of text wasn't there when I looked at the page before.
