YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker
They couldn't possibly make the experience worse than it already is without an ad blocker.
No adblock = No youtube

Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile
Maybe also try making Firefox tablet compatible like almost every other browser.
Currently it's just a bloated phone UI on tablet, it's the one thing stopping me from using as my daily browser on mobile devices.

YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads
I accidentally watched YouTube the other night without adblock, OMFG what an experience.
If I can't watch with adblock I'll just stop using it, it's only a rabit hole to waste time for me anyway.

Labour wins majority in UK General Elections as Tories lose two-thirds of seats
An overwhelming majority by seats but only 33% of the popular vote.
36% voted Tory/Reform so voters have not shifted left but split the more right wing vote

Not arachnophobic, but looked down and saw this lady racing up my shirt, a few inches from my neck. My scream was internal.
My scream was internal
I can guarantee you mine would have been, high, loud and extremely external.
I think the expression, I would've woken the dead, would fit.

Linux Mint is superior because it has a software manager and a driver manager. Most users want a no fuss OS.
The only superior Linux distro and DE is the one that works for you and meets your needs.
This is different for each user and, frankly, the joy of Linux that it has such a variety as to be able to meet almost everyone's needs.
For me , personally, thats Debian/Gnome with minimal tweaks but just because it works for my workflow does not make it superior.

When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?
My home media server is an old nuc mini pc i5 16Gb RAM with attached usb storage running on a Linux distro, runs Jellyfin and a few other applications for the household.
In short yes, an old pc will work fine.

Colorado Supreme Court Upholds Keyword Search Warrant - a digital dragnet tool that allows law enforcement to identify everyone who searched the internet for a specific term or phrase.

Headquartered in the US so I wouldn't guarantee it.
This was against Google specifically but I would imagine it would hold up against any US based search engine they felt someone was using.

They did the same to Huawei and lots followed. This has nothing to do with security and all to do with preventing China's leap ahead of US as a global economic technology powerhouse

[solved] Do you know about the upcoming February 5th event ?
5th Nov 2024 - was the chance to prevent this. Trump's team made it clear on the direction they were heading and no-one heeded the warnings. 35% didn't vote and the majority of those that did voted for him, which either means they agree with the direction or were deluded into thinking it wasn't going to happen.
I'm all for protest but I don't think you have a chance of changing anything, he owns the legislature and the voting public allowed it to happend.
I'm not American or a resident of US but that's just my opinion as an outsider.

The free fediverses should make it easier to move between (and create) instances
What would be good is if you could have a fediverse LDAP like login so you can use your login on any fediverse account and all your post etc link back to that single ID.

Netflix does it again. Record subscriber gains.
Sadly I still pay for a service I don't use because I have members of my house who are relucant to embrace the change. I, on the other hand, am more than happy with my Jellyfin and assorted apps to provide my content from whichever source I choose, now if only I could cadjole the others into embracing the freedom of the high seas.

All these new features, I'm sure are great.
But when, oh when, will Mozilla start supporting tabbed browsing for tables and foldable devices.
It's the one thing stopping me from swtitching.
