   I hope you do. And while you're at it, make it so websites are no longer able to fuck with the scrollbar in any way whatsoever, including but not limited to changing its size or colour.

   It requires all of these things, yes, but it also must deal with a topic approved by Google. So not offensive to an american coastal liberal type of person. One popular channel who commentates on american police body cam footage, replaces t

   The state of news publication in Denmark is sad, which I suspect is a universal state of affairs. Even the tax funded state propaganda outlet "DR" (Danish Radio), has become clickbait garbage. Most publications are heavy left lean

    Before this app-madness, you would usually just check out with your debit card and pay for the time you used (common in Denmark anyway). No need to guess in advance how long you need to park for.

    I hate this so much. There are a few extensions that try to limit the damage, but none of them work super well. There's no reason for target=_blank to exist.

    I've had very mixed luck with all online translation services when translating between danish and english. Google was bad to the point of being unusable, but none were great. ChatGPT however is excellent at this. It's a shame its

    I've never heard of that. It looks like it packages some dodgy components, notably foo_spider_monkey_panel. I only know that fb2k with its official components work reliably.

    Reimplementing foobar2000 in Electron is sort of a running joke on the #foobar2000 IRC channel.
