_dev_null

I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:

• Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants

• Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)

• Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites' cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

• uBlock Origin

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen "enable history to see recommendations" blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It's not. I remember all the channels I like, and it's easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

Ten pills once is chump change

When I was a patient at the VA pain clinic for a couple years, I could fart ten pills on any given day.

Lighten up, Francis.

before tomorrow morning?

DoD contractor: Sure can, but it will cost you huge.

(Lies about the former, 100% accurate on the latter.)

jumping won’t impress her

Unless it's jump humping.

valuable

Till he's not, or worse, becomes a liability.

Once he's washed up there, would be funny if they extradited him back to the US. Double whammy if he ever makes it back.

OC ... Original Content

It's what my router runs.

Was the transition into management easy for you, or was it a slow acceptance?

Turns out dope.af is redirecting to andy.is, til.

executing foreign JavaScript

This is a great point I try to convey to my less-technical friends and family. Looking at a webpage is not like changing the channel on a tv of old. Looking at a webpage pulls code from who knows where and executes it on your local machine.

These advertisers expect that I should blindly trust them to execute code on my cpu, in my memory, on my machine? Yeah fuck that, it's a privilege. I don't invite every hobo walking by to come into my house and take a shit in my toilet.

If they don't like that not everyone executes their syphilis-ridden javascript, then they should put their shit behind a paywall. But they won't, since they know they don't have a product worth paying for.

lol, no - just curious what town/city, or even just state/country. The vegetation, river walls, and architecture all seem so unfamiliar to me. I'm just not sure where this might be (Greece? would be my guess)
