Yeah, I assumed it’s Google’s fault, one way or another, regardless of browser being used. And even though I don’t recall it happening in desktop chrome, minor nuisance like that isn’t gonna make me switch.
Tubular on android also has option for forced highest resolution so that’s a nice bypass for any of google’s bs as I rarely bother opening videos in FF/FFfocus on phone
Videos take time to load - don’t care though, even if it’s about length of 5-7sec ad, but at least I don’t see it.
Videos almost never auto play to highest resolution, I have to manually select it, no issues once I do that though.
Those are about the two key things I’ve noticed. I returned to Firefox few.months back, but the above wasn’t an issue when I made the initial switch.
And no, there is no issue with my connection, everything else (streaming, games, torrents) works fine as it always did.
I use uBlock and NoScript
What would you say if they had a big party with a lot of PR/marketing behind it;
“they’re wasting all this money to have fun instead of making the product better”?
Probably the same reason the whole party is still around. It would be awesome to get a real input from someone who lives in Mexico (preferably a normal person and not a summer beach home/mansion owner who pretends to live like normal people do), but honestly don’t know how likely they are to lurk here on Lemmy…surely there is at least one among us?
My skepticism stems mostly from the “popularity” of former president, supposedly reaching some 80%? Sounds pretty good if it’s genuinely true, but it’s eerily approaching fabled 90-100% authoritarian levels.
Surely it depends on the definition of “close/near”, have they given detailed specifics or is that not public info?
I mean you could argue that since these aren’t some intercontinental missiles, whatever is in their range, should be considered close?
Alternatively you could say, anything that can hit Kharkiv is fair game which opens it up a bit and not limiting the launchers to be “near” Kharkiv to retaliate.
Edit: seems like most of these articles are just reiterating the vague “close/near” and at most mention that US stance on long-range strikes has not changed.
Few more places to consider if you’re in lower mainland:
Freshco/Chalo if you have the option over Safeway/IGA (same stuff, cheaper, though produce isn’t always super fresh).
Langley farm market for produce is great, often good deals and competes with big chains on prices on said produce, meat, not so much other stuff (again limited access depending on where exactly you live unfortunately).
I’d do Saveon only armed with price matching flyers or I’m after something very specific I can’t find elsewhere. Plus I’m not a huge fan of Jim Patisson or whichever carguy owns it.
City avenue market is also pretty good for produce and the occasional offers for other stuff.
Very location specific - if you like a good bread, check out European bakery in Poco, awesome rye that would cost you 3times as much in some “artisan” bakery and still cheaper than semi decent loaf from big chains.
Edit-stupid autocorrect
This is probably one of your better bets and you’ll learn far more than Lemmy currently has to offer, unless one of those production people who have worked in the industry (like my former colleagues) ends up seeing this.
I know some general stuff, as my work involved having operational knowledge, but not enough to give advice that you’re looking for.
Half-expected to see a wumbo boson in that article as a reason for “that” SpongeBob episode
It’s pretty amazing here, coming from a European country that is known for its nature (and not a huge amount of tourism), and Colorado is definitely on our list of places to visit as it looks beautiful. Only really visited California/Nevada national parks in the past and some smaller places in Washington…and yeah Illinois is nowhere on our list of places to visit, so I can imagine how it must make you feel some days, coming from Colorado
… yea I guess so, according to the blurb at the bottom, they contributed to the provincial park in some ways. It also has pretty nice views as you’d imagine.
You’d think that’s the insurance companies would be greedy enough to sue oil companies for damages, you could probably try to make that case, but alas it’s easier to drain regular people dry and then fuck off.
Thanks for the info, I definitely have to consider an alternative like that in the future.
For the time being I tend to just enable 1 domain at a time temporarily and see if shit works, if it doesn’t, disable it again. It works ok, as I’ve gotten used to seeing a specific few domains or commonalities between the payment type ones.
But yeah probably similar to you I keep very few things allowed by default globally and have even begun reducing them lately.
If it’s a really big hassle atm I’ll revert to chrome (didn’t have to yet) since those fuckers already have my card details anyway, but luckily I don’t really do all that much shopping online so not a huge issue…the most common thing I do is top up my travel card for local transport and I use it like once a month, so that probably tells you a lot.
You want Tubular for Android TV though as newpipe doesn’t work on it. Navigation is not great on Android TV, specifically on a video that’s playing but you get used to it.
I still like my NoScript, sometimes I just take it as an indicator of who makes shitty sites.
If I end up on a site that’s completely blank and it isn’t important for me to interact with it, Ieave.
Surprisingly even news sites often load better than most others with NoScript disabling everything on them, I guess at the end of the day they still really need people to read them otherwise they’d become completely irrelevant?
I’ve seen complaints (Reddit I think?)that it just makes it cumbersome to do stuff when there are cascading lists of domain opening as you enable one, but if you’re the kind of person that permanently whitelists all of them at that point, I don’t think any amount of add-ons are going to save you, but I do like puzzles so I don’t mind figuring out what needs to be toggled for site to work.
The big downside is making payments on sites with silly amounts of 3rd parties involved (Im looking at you Costco), but it’s a bit better than it used to be when there was concern about getting charged twice, now it’s more like…don’t get charged and wonder why they didn’t process your payment.
Edit: is it NoScript or ublockorigin that blocks ads on prime video? It’s one or the other which is nice if you’re watching something on pc rather than TV, I guess I should test.
It’s maddening isn’t it, and probably not that different between US and Canada.
I don’t think you even need to go as far as China to see autoindustryasshattery in effect, just look at our Southern neighbors in Mexico who aren’t getting fair share on the produced vehicles while parent companies/dealerships reap profits, but that’s probably a different conversation altogether…I mean something is seriously fucking wrong when a car dealer is also one of the biggest grocery chains and god knows what else (that one is Canada, not US)
Hmm, it’s almost like we should focus considerably more on simple vehicles instead of complex subscription shit boxes that we have, to cut down cost of manufacturing/materials/parts/labour and now insurance…no big money in that though.
Or you know …public transport is also pretty damn good option over any of this. Something drastic would have to change for trains/buses/etc to become commonplace in NA though, at least in some EU countries and a few other countries in the world there’s a bit of hope.
Who needs glue, if you’re hellbent on keeping it, stick the plastic back in and figure out a good place to put a screw/nail through and file it down if it goes out the other end.
If it breaks again you’ll most likely be forced to completely replace it though, which is a good thing as it will mean didn’t deserve the second life you’ve given it.
How do you find anything useful on LinkedIn? (Serious question) Filtering on location with few of and/NOT search terms doesn’t yield many results. Their suggested jobs are irrelevant crap riddled with 95% repeating promoted crap that you can dismiss but your dismiss gets ignored.
I use indeed and it’s been steadily getting to the same point as LinkedIn where they repeat promoted shit, ignore filters you setup and just straight up serve useless garbage irrelevant to search terms.
Tried monster and zip recruiter couple of times, it was never better than any of the above so I didn’t bother continuing to try.
Isn’t it just hoarding but in digital space?
