I have a hard time imagining a world which Youtube ceases to work in a browser with uBlock Origin. Instead we're in a world where Youtube screws us around for a bit, and then uBlock does an update and everything goes back to 'norm

This is the reflex/instinct approach though. Sure, they increase friction for people with adblock, and then 5 minutes later, uBlock Origin does an update to undo Youtube's friction, and we're back to square one. No gain for a

This doesn't apply to just teenagers. Anyone younger than 30 has probably noticed this trend by now. The only people I answer the phone to are people I know who prefer that mode of communication. That list mostly consists of people old

I agree, but that argument becomes a lot harder to make when the things that usually did use that infrastructure, like government mail, completely evaporates. As per the article, the parcel side of the postal system is still profitable, so

I wonder what the end goal is for Youtube. I doubt they have one, and they're just doing this on instinct/reflex. Not to mention they probably wouldn't have seen a need to to this as much if they didn't go down the path

It wouldn't surprise me if this was way past the point of the Chinese film industry thriving, but that the West just hasn't gotten to see the gold it has produced and can produce just yet. It really wouldn't surprise me if Ch

Bear in mind that in Denmark, all government mail goes through Digital Post.[1] Once you remove government letters and bills (as that's also digitised unless you really feel like paying extra to do it the old-fashioned way) from your p

You probably don't need more than one or two video clips unless you're writing about video itself, say, comparing Ffmpeg renders or phone cameras. You certainly don't need any video for most subjects.

Which you need to buy a Pixel to be able to use, Pixel being Google's phones. Bit of a Catch-22 there. I guess you could buy one used.

One more taking part in a time-honoured tradition of taking someone else's thing, adding your own dipping mustard (if even that), and calling it your own. A new chatbot? Another ChatGPT wrapper. A new Linux Distro. Another Arch with a

I've been pretty happy with Mailbox.org. The web interface isn't great compared to Gmail, but I prefer Thunderbird anyway for normal usage. They used to have a weird 2FA setup, but they've since switched to the same kind ever

You can pay for your domain upto 10 years in advance. It's a frontloaded cost, but if you can do that (or even just 5 years), you'll have a pretty good buffer if you just happen to be busy at whatever time of year you need to rene

Articles are capable of using both. The main content can be in text, with an image, a gif or a short video or audio clip here and there to help explain if an illustration is better suited. I wouldn't want to read a phone review that wa

The only positive experience I've had with a chatbot was functionally not a chatbot, but rather a form I needed to fill out, but which was done in a chat style, presumably to be more user friendly. It wasn't bad, per se, but a nor

The ability to update whenever I feel like it and not whenever Windows felt like it, is one of the nicest things about Linux these days. Sure, you can disable automatic updates on Windows, but it's clunky and never stuck for me. After

The list's probably going to get a lot longer. I wonder how it's going to compare to the list of sites who block Europeans due to GDPR concerns. I've only ever noticed two sites that did that, even though the amount of noise
