Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away.

Can you please seek the professional help that would make you feel better and stop using AskLemmy as your therapist?
(Before down voting me, take a look at OP's post and comment history. They are all like this, followed by refusing or arguing against any and all encouragement or advice.)

Those who live outside of the US, what's something Americans aren't ready to hear?

Dude half of us don't understand it either.
It's amazing what decades of defunding education will do when you mix it with a healthy dose of conservative talk show TV and social media algorithms.

The union leader isn't stupid. He could see the bully and he goaded him into making a fool of himself. It was easy, and intentional. The senator is a man child and acted as such.

Blows my mind how this isn't just the most cut and dry logical answer ever.
Is the president immune from prosecution under the law? No. No one is. That's the point of the laws. If a leader is fully immune they are a dictator.
And fuck it, even if you're insane and think Trump would be a good King of the US, if this gets passed then there's no precedent stopping Biden saying at the end of his term "no, I'm staying, screw you". That is terrible regardless of your political standing.

If shit is present tense, and shat is past tense, is there no future tense of the word shit?
Similar to many verbs that need an object, you add "will" to the present tense.
He will run. She will jump. You will shit.

What's the point of living for someone like me?
You are here every week posting this exact same shit. People have tried to help you and give you real advice. You don't want help, you want attention. The Internet isn't your therapist and you don't want to listen anyways. Stop wasting everyone's time.

What's the men's version of Victoria's Secret?
To take your question slightly more seriously: Victoria's Secret is a brand that mostly exists for men to ogle the female models.
So... Calvin Klein, maybe? Not quite the same number of women ogling the male underwear models but, seems as close as we will get.

Don't think that things like "rescinding your apology" are necessary - just be done. If you can support yourself, and have friends or other people you can emotionally rely on, I would just simply "stop" with your family. Why "rescind your apology", that will just start another argument for the sake of trying to give yourself some sort of moral high ground, which it aounds like your mother will not acknowledge.
You don't need to make a statement about it, you don't need to announce to them some big decision, just move on. Live a happy life. Be you. Don't include them in that process if they are not going to be a positive part of it.

Hey there both good
"There" is a location. "They're" is a contraction of "they are".

[Unpopular opinion] Linux is not a good choice for regular users
You were fucking with your GPU drivers, lost access to your GPU, and you have concluded from that that "regular users" (who don't know what a driver is or does) should not use Linux?
EDIT: Stick a "normal" user on a stable distro with a clean UI like Mint or Fedora, keep in mind they probably don't know what a terminal is and will probably never use it, and they will be fine for almost all cases.

Strava closes the gates to sharing fitness data with other apps
Reply in thread
I use Strava a ton. This update sucks.
Strava has positioned themselves as two things:
So there are a lot of people, like myself, who bike and use a Wahoo bike computer, or bike inside on Zwift, or run outside with a Garmin or Apple watch, and push all those activities to Strava because everything integrates with it.
Then, if you want to, you can easily tap into all that data with another platform like TrainingPeaks or Intervals.icu (I bike more than run but there are more for runners). These platforms do really fun data analytics that Strava doesn't provide, and also have coaching integrations so your coaches can log in and you can authorize them to see your workout results, which helps them build plans for you.
Two changes from this update fuck up everything:
In short, as a guy who likes training and tracking my fitness, this breaks everything for me. Many many people who casually run or bike or swim or whatever will be in the same boat as me. This sucks.
EDIT:
They have framed this as a user protection. It isn't. No one could see my data that I hadn't provided explicit permission for via the third party app of my choosing, after voluntarily entering my own API key.
What this does do is likely set them up to offer a paid API in a few months, so everything that is free and has been free since it's inception will now cost these third party applications per-request to retrieve. Which is bullshit, because this data is not Strava's - it's mine.
This on the heels of their shitty AI summary bot experiment which was not opt-in but opt-out. There's a 0% chance Strava built their own AI LLM so even while they're shutting out access I explicitly invited, they're piping all my workout data, including any activities I mark as private, straight over to OpenAI without my explicit consent unless I go through the effort to opt out.
