On the quiet side. Somewhat peculiar. A good companion, in a weird sort of way.

The Anti-AntiAdblocker uBlock Origin filter to get rid of the annoying YouTube message. It turns off the JavaScript anti-adblock payload.

Nothing will ever be more relatable than this.
Γειά ξανάρθα, μου φάνηκε δύσκολη η μετακόμιση για τα γεράματα μου και έκανα καινούριο:)
Twitter under Elon Musk is a continuous demonstration of the Law of Unintended Consequences, as applied to large scale asshatery. Never doubt that toxic narcissist capitalists could do this to utilities and infrastructure, causing megadeaths, they're the ultimate terrorists.
(That said, I don't believe everything he's doing to Twitter is unintentional. He clearly hates everything good about humanity on Twitter, and actively seeking to amplify everything bad.)

Twitter bug causes self-DDOS tied to Elon Musk's emergency blocks and rate limits: "It's amateur hour" - Waxy.org

An "amateur hour" Javascript bug is self-DDOSing Twitter, sending infinite requests from users related to — or possibly even causing — Elon Musk's "temporary emergency measures" to stop web scraping.

if we’ve brought back global pandemics, titanic disasters, railroad strikes, a King of England and Russian coups, we should also get to bring back the parts of the 20th century where they had cocaine in the soda and a minimum wage earner could buy a family home

Stop worshipping billionaires.

Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

Αναπάντεχο πως μια κοινωνία που έχει αγκαλιάσει την ευγονική άποψη πως οι ευάλωτοι είναι βάρος και πρέπει να πεθάνουν ψηφίζει σε μεγάλο βαθμό αξροδεξιά/ναζιστικά κόμματα.
Elon Musk may or may not be deliberately tanking Twitter, but if you believe he could run it well and has simply chosen not to, you're as big a simp as the rightwing bluechecks.

He's not a genius. This is him working at the limits of his capabilities. This is who he is.

Teenage Me: "So, in the 2020s is the world a corporate dystopia with cool looking motorcycles and everyone is constantly connected to a global information network?"

Time Travelling Me: [Dragging hands down own face] "I mean ... yeah. Sure. But it's so much fucking stupider than you're imagining it to be."
