Missing piece in the numbers here is how many people were uninstalling adguard to switch to uBlock? Using one extension's install stats to make conclusions about all adblocking extensions seems a bit much.

Makes me kinda wish that when defederating you could select a one word label for why. Like a fixed list with several options like pedo, spam, harassment, abandoned, etc and a default of other. Make it a bit easier with a big list like this to say, oh 1000 of these 1400 all selected "racism" when defederating so it's probably very racist and I should also defederate. But if it's a lot of "other" or inconsistent reasons maybe I should spend a bit of time digging.

It's a "best before" date not an expiration date, it might still be good!

It's for the "Fusion Drive." It was just used as a cache basically. You had a larger, slower drive behind it for capacity, this just held frequently accessed data.

"belongs to the sex class"... The heck. Such a meaningless circular definition just to provide a veneer of justification for her transphobia.

It is an utter tragedy and travesty what happened yesterday. RIP Richard Simmons.

Rings indicate a tree needs to lose weight?

How about we start with the cheek and see how we both feel from there.

I like the implications of shirt genetics between the grandmas and the mother. But I'll need to whip out a punnett square to understand what combines with black "metal 💀" to result in plain white with frills.

The ability to learn from other people without needing the same first hand experience is a hallmark of intelligence. It's one of the things about our species that allowed us to develop past just being yet another animal in the wild. Education is largely based on that principle; your history teacher didn't experience the horrors of trench warfare firsthand.

So I wouldn't call social media insanity so much as potentially addictive, which can cause you to overindulge in those behaviours. Admittedly addiction can feel like insanity when you're in the throes of it.

You're saying satire sometimes exaggerates its comparisons? I'm outraged!

That alt-text is lacking a few minor details.

This is the sort of headline you see in a montage at the start of a zombie movie.

80 percent chance they reboot it themselves anyways.

Ah it's a setting for Text To Speech functionality. Guess they replaced there being just a male and a female voice with there being a list of different voices each identified by a name.

I just opened CNN on firefox with unblock origin on both mobile and desktop without issue.

Insert Pam "they're the same picture" meme here.

You're saying this 12 year old didn't run away from home, travel from India to UAE alone without proper visa/passport, and then sneak into this UN event with the sign hidden in her socks? Shit, thank God you're here to clarify that.

Of course she had support from her parents and someone who was able to get her in the door. Most effective acts of protest are heavily organized. That doesn't detract from anything.

I had to buy one of those for my dog

That's why css names should be semantic. I'm sure it started actually purple until UX said "can we make this primary text more blue so it doesn't look like a clicked link?" Replacing all references to "purple" wasn't an option because of unrelated usage of that word elsewhere and they weren't using an IDE capable of contextual rename of a css class. So they just changed the color code and called it a day.
