I'll accept having YT Redux having a few glitches now and then over having to deal with whatever YT throws at you natively, but that's a personal preference :)

For me 6 videos/row is essential, as is cutting out all the empty space, the 'AI summary' and other trash. Redux handles that fine.

USB-C is the most cursed USB connector ever. It makes even microUSB 3.0 look sane and reasonable.

And that's why I have the YouTube Redux extension installed, because I'm sick and tired of YT doing dumb UX things every other week.

If Columbus Day is more about Italian heritage, may I propose we make it "Fracastoro Day", in honor of the Italian physicist whose studies of syphilis (possibly introduced to Europe by Columbus) formed the earliest basis for the germ theory of disease in 1546.

He also looked like this:

"Portrait of a Man" by Titian, 1528. It's suspected this is Girolamo Fracastoro, but unconfirmed.

Old man holding rambling stand-up comedy routine for a confused audience vibes.

Maybe Chinese engineers will be flying in along with a big workforce to remodel all those destroyed refineries with Chinese parts, while China will supply cheap fuel to Russia in the meantime.

But I'd not want to put any money on that particular bet.

The US H2A visa program sounds like essentially slavery. No wonder MAGA wants to replace undocumented workers with H2A slaves: the former can pack up and leave, the latter are left without recourse.

Often it feels like the US populace is bred explicitly to be exploited, and feel happy about it.

"There's something behind me, isn't there?"

Have you ever seen one of the MAGA fascists laugh or have fun? Have you seen them crack a smile that reaches their eyes?

Trump, Miller, Vought, Bondi, etc. are terminally incapable of feeling enjoyment. Hence why others having fun enrages them so much, as they know deep inside that they're broken.

I love it so much that the anti-fascist movement in the US are leaning into the inflatable costumes trend. It agitates the MAGA fascists in so many ways.

First because it ridicules the fascists, secondly because it shows anti-fascists having some fun, which is an emotion that MAGA is incapable of.

In your case the dumb f'ng piece of software probably deemed that there are officially more French-speaking folk in your area, or it just glitched out, because software these days is just broken.

Maya Posch @hackkitten.bsky.social · 1d

Every time that I waddle onto a 'fancy' website: "Oh, you're in Germany, surely you want everything to be in German."

Every f'ng dumb piece of software: "Japanese localisation? Here's the Japanese UI."

Browsers have a 'preferred language' setting. OSes have their display language. FFS.

The amazing thing about the SNL sketch last night was not that Ashley Padilla wore a scarf nearly identical to mine. It’s that I trust Amy Poehler as AG more than Pam Bondi.

Yes, that should have read 'anti-fascist'. All this unnecessary word-shortening is making my fingers want to take a break, it seems.

Maya Posch @hackkitten.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder whether these evasion systems can dodge bullets.

About time to add autocannons to intercepting drones :)

Maya Posch @hackkitten.bsky.social · 1d

Hot take: We should stop shortening 'anti-facist' to 'anti-fa'.

Yup, turns out that you just need to drink sufficient water, eat a healthy diet and things kinda detox themselves. Who knew :)
