My browser extension StopTheMadness Pro stops autoplaying videos and hides Sign in with Google on all sites. It also hides sticky videos and notification requests on many sites.

For more extreme measures, try my Safari extension StopTheScript. It kills JavaScript dead on websites you select. For example, from the blog post, it makes The Guardian readable.

A year ago, I predicted the first CEO who forcefully and publicly resisted Trump could reap significant benefits, both reputationally and commercially.

With its reputation for breaking barriers and the boldness chromosome in its DNA, I thought / hoped it would be Nike. But Dario Amodei just did it.

@atpfm Tried to watch Chernobyl (bought all 5 episodes in 2019) only saw episode 3. Checked all our shows easily spotted: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, The Leftovers, Sopranos, Star Trek TOS Remastered, Watchmen missing episodes. Called Apple support was told to check Hidden. On MacOS: TV app -> username -> Hidden Purchases -> TV Episodes. There were ~100 hidden episodes randomly dispersed across most shows. Maybe because I'm Canadian and this is a Canada thing? Prob like this >6 months.

I could only merge the identities of a single real person across multiple Apple Photos identities using my iPhone. Not my Mac. Not my $7K MBP.

And yet, I need a Mac to do 1/2 the photos stuff I need to do!

@atpfm Hope you guys consider mentioning this: https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com ...our family has just cancelled Arcade, Apple TV, Microsoft Game Pass. Paused Prime and Audible.

Most of our subs are annual. In the unlikely case tech CEOs enabling/bribing Trump stops in 6 months (ha ha as if) would mean not even any service interruption.
