So… Do you just have an extension or something that replaces TH with your b/p (thorn?) I see you didn’t use it when you use the word thorn.

Can you link to or provide an explanation for us curious folk?

“wake up Sheeple”

Wait…

These images do not show as “bad quality” on my phone, they are perfectly clear. Perhaps you could go to the source and see if they clear up there? I don’t think I could take anyone seriously who says these photos are too low quality to tell if they are fake, so I’m assuming you are having a technical issue.

Yes! Thank you brothers, sisters and kin for calling out this bullshit and standing up to both bullies. The government can go find something that actually needs their attention, and Air Canada can sit the fuck down and get serious about negotiating fairly.

Thank you. I have heard that, and I’m interested in switch my home computer and “Netflix and YouTube on the tv” computer over.

Any recommendations on where to start with that?

I used Linux as a 11 year old back in… Late 90’s? And it was not user friendly but I was so cool it didn’t matter…

Until I couldn’t get a game other than Quake 2 running on my lan network.

Haven’t checked on it since but I’m overdue and ready.

Oh my. THANK YOU for that edgeblocker! Going to get that on every computer in my home.

Yeah I’m not “the boss” of my parents. My dad was very tech savvy, but he doesn’t have the same memory and cognition as he used to so when I set it up nice he likes it, but any friction sets him off to “solve” the problem… By doing some random totally different thing that doesn’t so much solve the problem as “gets it working, sort of” with a browser he recognizes. Then because there are ads he loses interest and just puts on the 24/7 news cycle. :(

So my parents use chrome even though I constantly install Firefox and hide chrome. Problem there is they end up with Edge so I stopped doing that. (Didn’t windows get in trouble for this kind of market control in the 90’s?)

So I had Ublock origin on chrome for them but it’s “not supported” anymore and my usual method of ignoring what it says and turning it back on are now failing.

Any help?

Don’t know why you’d get a downvote for personal preference. I would argue that a lot of the content I watch doesn’t have a suitable book form, so even if I did prefer that method of osmosis, I’d be out of luck.

Got a recommendation for a book (or audiobook) for a nerd like me? I’d describe myself but the internet already knows too much so… Conservation and technology (new or ancient)

Is that a fair ask?

'Aight. You really showed me with your not-at-all-defensive-bordering-on-demented response. I think I’m coming around to your well reasoned argument!

Being unable to read a sign posted every 200metres and act accordingly is a moral failing.

You are right that there are better ways to “guide” selfish idiots into driving slower, and the set fine means that it stings people like me (thanks for the underhanded insult though!) ruins others and means nothing to some. That’s a much bigger societal problem.

Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who’d been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I’d call it “chaotic” because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed “limits”

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.
