I can't seem to figure this out. I've been trying out different news aggregator sites to use as a home page. Right now I'm using skimfeed. I like it, but the links all have skimfeed baggage tacked on. Like this: https://skimfeed.com/r.php?q=1148&l=15649995&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3006%2F

Well, the source looks like this:

<span class='boxtitles'><h2><a class='siteurls ts33' href='/news/xkcd.html'>XKCD</a> <a class='siteurls atat' href='http://xkcd.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>+</a></h2></span>

<ul><li class='nl1 bd33'><a href='r.php?q=1148&l=15649995&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3006%2F' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' title='Demons'>Demons</a> </li><li class='nl2 bd75'><a href='r.php?q=1148&l=15642742&u=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F3005%2F' target='_blank' rel='nofollow' </li></ul></div>

Which, to be honest, is Greek to me. I'd like to rewrite the links so that they just look like https://xkcd.com/3006/ I don't really care what the link looks like, per se, the encoded bits. I just don't like the extra skimfeed stuff. Aesthetically.

Is there an extension or something that will help me with this? The couple I've looked at are either too complicated for my caveman brain, or site specific (i.e., remove google tracking). If I'm just being a little too retentive, feel free to let me know that too.

Report about the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post —

• 26 Articles in the week following Smith's indictment of Trump for his attempted coup

• 100 Articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe--

The US media has learned nothing and is doing a disservice to American voters.

Nothing much to say other than I had to drive down PCH today and it would have been a better idea to drive around back bay. So many deplorable magats waving their stupid flags, driving in circles. I showed my support by yelling "We love proven rapists who are convicted felons!!" at them when stopped. It's just so embarrassing seeing these anti-democratic, anti-Constitution morons in my city/county/state/country.

The only one I've found is this one, but it doesn't work. It only triggers if I open the keyword interface and save it after every page load. I don't know enough to fix it.

Any advice for a regular smart 27 year old youngster, who has chronically underachieved and is motivated to turn their life around. They have a couple years of JC completed, and has no idea what path to take, or really what paths exist.

EDIT: OK, I see I gave slim pickins here. It's not me, it's my neighbor's kid. I've known his parents since before he was born. He's a super smart kid, but like a lot of smart kids, he got kind of jaded about...well, everything. I was visiting the other day and he asked me for advice, and my retired ass has nothing. Any relevant personal experience I may have, became dated years ago.

He's good at just about all subjects. His longest lifelong hobby has been video games. He took a few programming classes and liked it, but the thought of doing it full time as a career would quickly become torture.

He's kind of half-assed things and just realized he needs to get his shit straight. He was thinking something like finance, just numbers. Something solid that's just a career direction. He is going back to school, well most likely he is, but he needs an idea of what path to take. Most of his friends are unemployed/underemployed with computer degrees.

Nobody seems to be talking about the continuing genocide of Rohingya in Myanmar nor India's heartless and illegal current actions.

My ISP seems to be throttling my VPN connection. Just started a week or so ago. Anyone have any tips for correcting this shit?

Edit: Sorry, I didn't leave much info. I guess I was thinking in more general terms. I use PIA, have for years. I've tried to change protocols and ports, my VPN speed still sits around 10K. Just ridiculous. Speed test without VPN:

SOLVED!! OK, I'm an absolute idiot. The tl;dr I had accidentally toggled the Toggle Alt. Rate Limits setting. Thank you everyone for attempting to help that which couldn't be helped!

I read Kim's Mars trilogy years ago and liked it. I decided to pick up The Ministry of the Future a couple days ago. It's very different, and without any spoilers, I have to say it's made me hate humanity even more than I already did. If you haven't read it, it's a near-future climate disaster book. Well written, interesting structure, and just pissing me off. I'm about halfway through it, so maybe it'll swing the other way in the second half.

My mom has a hole in the ground that she puts her clothes drying hanger in. Like this. The hole in the ground is a 2" or so pipe, set in concrete. The pipe has filled with gravel. Anyone have a tip on getting the rocks out? I can only get so many out using my fingers and then trying to use a set of chopsticks.

Seems appropriate for some reason.
