Wanted to mention this seems to be fixed, but I was never able to find a tool that could tell me why it was occurring.

It was ultimately NTP (clock), but it was actually the router clock. I switched PCs and I think my original PC had software to talk to the router, which must’ve been setting the time. It seems like it changed to a completely different time at some point.

Changed it, then just released/renewed/flushed dns. I also manually turned on the time service at some point and ran a sync from the command prompt just to be safe. and everything is acting normally now.

I’m not sure what to read from the storage. From what I can see only the cookies are being used. (1 cookie)

Is there a way to tell when each of them are interacting with it?

Update: So far i’m down to 2 extensions:
Ublock
600% sound volume

Memory still ballooned from 1GB to 5GB.

When I checked processes before closing, even after force unloading Youtube under processes, GPU was using around 1 GB. There was literally nothing else I could unload that would stop this.

Again I loaded all tabs just to be fair…GPU is using half of that currently. I’m also questioning the reliability of about:processes to an extent, because I couldn’t actually see what was adding up to the 5 GB I was seeing in task manager.

I also tried some advice I saw to just whitelist youtube, as it sounds like google does something regarding adblockers. But this did not seem to do anything noticable.

edit: based on another post, trying troubleshoot mode, though i’m always uncomfortable having all site blockers (ublock now) turned off.

I don’t know how to do that.

‘Improve Youtube!’
600% sound volume
7TV
Auto Tab Discard
Better TTV
Libredirect
LiveTL
Privacy Badger
Tampermonkey (No scripts enabled)
Ublock
User-Agent Switcher and Manager

i’d say about 40 tabs, mix of:
Danbooru
Youtube
Kbin
Reddit
Amazon
game8.co
libreddit

Plain Firefox

Advertisers are the best at spreading word.

It’s probably why award shows (which are also smothered with ads) get so much publicity.

To be fair, only a handful of publishers were able to take their cards and go elsewhere. The media companies were a lot more on top of dragging their products off of Netflix.

Nobody would be on steam just for Valve games, after all, and indie has a much lower barrier of entry.

While they could certainly distribute their current products better, a lot of the issues they have now (see: belated frogs comment) aren’t things they really had control over.

It’s probably because I generally saw the sub shutdowns as a result of the protest, and not as an ongoing protest. Reddit clearly wasn’t in any talks with the mods at that point and vica versa.

Honestly i’ll just go with it being months. I’m basically just arguing semantics at this point.

I mean, I remember it being weeks myself.

But it’s not as if things went back to the way they were either. There were definitely effects due to those weeks.

It wasn’t the right argument is the issue. Like only the last thing he ever said was directly saying CPC.

Like if thats what we wanted to find out we clearly got the wrong person to ask it.

I mean, we do have the phrase “Take justice into your own hands”

You can do wrong by someone that receives retribution, without a law being present for it.

Laws just make that much, much, much less murky.

He really shouldn’t. What the guy did was still legally wrong, and he probably knew it and weighed he would rather take jail time and commit it. A less scrupulous person could do worse things, which is why those laws are in place.

If he could somehow reduce the sentence that would be great, and if that is on the table he should, but some punishment should still occur.

He’s a vigilante hero for what he did, but vigilantes are still criminals. The main issue here is that the punishment is clearly wrong, and the message is wrong, as the judge seems to think this is paramount to treason, which it isn’t.

So the judge is in with trump. Hope none of his cases go that guys way.

Like yeah, he broke the law and needed to be punished. But it wasn’t government secrets, which i’m pretty sure is already legally coded separately from this guys crimes, and also neither of which are treason, which would be the capital attack.

So the guy blatantly spoke against his own legal experience for a political swing.

It would look less embarrassing if you didn’t actually write it, that’s how bad it is.

should’ve just admitted to chatgpt. That paragraph makes you look old and disconnected. You made a lot of assumptions about people you don’t know, and clearly don’t know the current age you’re in. It’s not entitlement or some need for instant gratification. People are actually getting less than they got when you started working. And generally a lot of jobs are also expecting more, especially now that computers allow for deeper, more analytical, and less empathetic tracking of employee activity.

I mean, “obviously causing damage to our health”

The issue with that is the question “And do what?”

Like what matters is that you do something that is actually healthy for your body. Internet is if anything probably a step up from the age of couch surfing on the TV, since you at least need to actively navigate it. Mostly meaning to say that you could easily just choose something that isn’t any better.

But either way you’d be better off just choosing something healthy to do, like exercise.

I mean,

I don’t think psychology is meant to help people.

It’s neutral, neither good or evil. While you can argue it’s pretty dark how deep the psychology can go, it’s hard to go into a deep evaluation of that.

I still use redirects to visit Reddit (I don’t bother if they don’t work), mainly because one of the main communities I track didn’t really move here.
Does Youtube count? That’s pretty much the only other thing I could think of.

I’m not

I can’t even try using an alternative redirect because apparently all of them are blocked.
