Now seems like a great time to take the money you may have been spending on a Paramount Plus subscription, and give at least that much as a monthly donation to your local NPR or PBS stations 🤪🤓

The film Perfect Days in nearly perfect indeed!
All of the streaming companies lately:
“It would be a real shame if we had to start showing some ads around here, but for a small fee all of that unpleasantness could be avoided”

A ★★★★★ review of The Boy and the Heron (2023)
A masterpiece! Perhaps the last great animated film. Who else is going to make animated films in the same way, and with the same care as Hayao Miyazaki? Sure there will continue to be excellent animated films from the likes of Pixar and Disney. But with Miyazaki being the soul of Ghibli, it's hard to imagine they could rise to the same level without his stewardship. If this is Miyazaki's last work, then it may very well be the last great animated film to witness in a cinema. Thematically this film contains more esotericism and mystery than even Howl's Moving
Pete Prodoehl 🍕I've been using Inkscape for over 10 years. If I had been using Illustrator for 10 years I would have paid Adobe over $2,500 in "rental" fees for a subscription that stops as soon as I stop paying.
Instead I started paying $5 a month to Inkscape to help make sure we can all use it for free for as long as we want.

lj·rk@catsalad @mozilla @torproject @eff The second paragraph is of particular importance since that also explains why AdGuard is supporting it (see Google's announcement) and the "wider ad blocking community" (i.e., all the bullshit that's not the one true blocker aka uBO) is okay with it. They sell ad blockers and lists as a product. They're okay with not blocking everything (like YT), especially if noone else can do it anymore because the competition (uBO) is sidelined.
This push is not against ad blockers actually, it's against effective ad blockers, particularly uBO.

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline (2023-11-16)
🚩https://developer.chrome.com/blog/resuming-the-transition-to-mv3/
EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
Like FLoC and Privacy Sandbox before it, Google Chrome’s Manifest V3 is another example of the inherent conflict of interest that comes from Google controlling both the dominant web browser and one of the largest internet advertising networks.
Ben SandofskyBecause these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!
