If you watch YouTube a lot, and you, like me, can't stand the ridiculous pink-ish gradient in the progressbar, add these lines to the Firefox #Stylus add-on to turn it solid red (Next post has copy/paste ready text)

A code snippet to us in Stylus that eliminates the pink-ish progressbar of YouTube.

This one gets me every time #dogs

Thread:

In the dog world, humans are elves that routinely live to be 500+ years old.

They live so long. but the good ones still bond with us for our entire lives.

These immortals are so kind we must be good friends to them

My heart wtf

Not gonna lie, this fucked me up a bit

POV Fantasy slice of life book when?

"Now I am old. The fur around my muzzle is grey and my joints ache when we walk together Yet she remains unchanged, her hair still glossy, her skin still fresh, her step still
sprightly. Tme doesn't touch her and yet I love her still."

"For generations, he has guarded over my family- Since the days of my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather he has kept us safe- For so long we thought him immortal. But now I see differently, for just as my fur grows gray and my joints grow stiff, so too do his- He did not take in my children, but gave them away to his- I will be the last that he cares for- My only hope is that I am able to last until his final moments- The death of one of his kind is so rare. The ending of a life so long is such a tragedy- He has seen so much, he knows so much- I know he takes comfort in my presence- I only wish that I will be able to give him this comfort until the end."

Updating #Cyberpunk2077. With the fiber speeds that I have I shouldn't complain, but seriously, an update of 70 gigabyte?

In discussions with various people when they have some great ideas to put stuff "into the cloud", I force them to replace the phrase "cloud" with "someone else's computer". It seriously changes the dynamics of the conversation. 😊

Yay, we have a new dark pattern. Microsoft #Onedrive just popped this one up. A rating from 5 to 1.

Fuck you and your popups. And fuck you for trying to trick me.

Imagine working your ass off, meeting all the "expectations", only to get laid off because of profit maximisation.

I was right in the middle of watching #MiamiVice, one of my nice childhood series. Got back on the #AmazonPrime website and was greeted by this. You want people to pirate shit? Because this is exactly the reason people pirate shit. I pay good money for several streaming services, and I wonder why.

A screenshot of the Amazon Prime website telling me the "title is unavailable due to expired rights".

This also happens with restaurant menus. I refuse to eat at a place that does not have a paper menu. QR codes are a security nightmare.

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

Google AI search result for “was 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: “No, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14.
Current Year: 2025
Past Year: 2010
Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 14 years”

There even was a w3fools.com site, warning the public about the low quality content. You can find snapshots of it on the Internet Archive (web.archive.org/web/20140102...)

In all fairness, this _was_ 10 years ago...

W3Fools – A W3Schools Intervention

We hope we can illuminate why W3Schools is a troublesome resource, why their faulty information is a detriment to the web, and what you (and they) can do about it.

A better place for HTML would be MDN (Mozilla Developer Network). They have proved to be more accurate over the years.

MDN: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

MDN Web Docs

The MDN Web Docs site provides information about Open Web technologies including HTML, CSS, and APIs for both Web sites and progressive web apps.

Being from Europe, the Netherlands in particular (bike country #1!), there is absolutely no need for someone to own a "car" like this. Unless you have a really small penis ofcourse 😂

Gorgeous images! I don't think I have *any* idea how this process works, what equipment is involved and what it takes to get to results like this. But it sure looks impressive! 😊❤️

To add:
1) Use a password manager for those strong, unique passwords. Get a family account (f.e. #1Password) and teach your children why and how to use it.
2)Teach your loved ones about infosec in general. I read/see too many stories about people, especially the elderly, being scammed.

If you go this route, make sure you are mentioning the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). That's the correct spelling. It will prevent them from ignorantly saying: "I don't know what you're talking about" because you spelled it wrong.

V2. What about capitalizing the name and lose the white checkmark? The speech balloon should be obvious enough as that is synonym to the user's voice. The checkmark only adds noise when viewed smaller.
