OK @ichorandpride THIS IS THE BEST. I feel like I have my browser back. Thank you forever.
Note: UBlockOrigin got disabled on Chrome because they found it cut into their forced ads. You can still enable it! A reddit poster taught me how:
search for UBlock Origin extension
The "Add to Chrome" button will be greyed out. Right click on the button and find the "Inspect" action.
Inspect text appears. Where there is the highlighted <div>, click the drop down to reveal <button>,
Find the word "disabled" and type "enabled." Enter.
Tumblr media
Seriously, I know nothing about computers. Reddit taught me how and I used it so quickly.
One more thing: UBlock Origin might be the littlest bit tricky to navigate at first. To copy paste @ichorandpride's amazing block lists:
Open the extension in your browser. Navigate to the settings cogs bottom right. Click.
Tumblr media
A larger UBlock window will open with a toolbar at the top. Navigate to "My Filters"
Tumblr media
Paste the lists. The "Apply Changes" button will turn blue and you should click it. Then, you've won the internet.
Final tip: Use CTRL+A or COMMAND+A to select Nathan's lists on the pastebin pages. They are comprehensive and scrolling to select might take a while.
wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."
#my favorite teacher so far is still the film history professor I had in my first semester.#he was very old and didn't understand how canvas worked at all and sometimes had trouble opening a video file#but simultaneously he was tech literate enough to recommend we use firefox with an ad blocker#because whenever someone missed class and was like 'where do i go to find the movie' he'd be like 'use an ad blocker and google it'#he said the school made him stop emailing links to free movie sites because people would open them on chrome with no ad block#and there'd be borderline malware on them. like this guy gave me the impression he was like. a veteran movie pirate lol.#that class had barely any assignments. like there wasn't a final exam or anything.#he just wanted us to write a paragraph or so answering a few questions about the movies we watched. it was chill.#and i also learned a lot actually. like i didn't know what a nickelodeon was before then. or the Hays Code.#the movies were genuinely good. i never thought Id be that into old black and white movies or westerns for example but they actually slapped#some of them had really mature themes and i definitely started to understand the people on this website who are like#'if the only media you consume is children's media you should maybe branch out instead of calling steven universe problematic'#because a lot of the movies we watched depicted very 'problematic' things and were able to directly address them because they are for adults#(to clarify I didn't just like kids media before then. i just mean that it introduced me to some older stuff i didn't think I'd like)#(but i ended up liking a lot. it also made me realize that movies made today are kind of shit. which i also already knew)#(but it put it more into perspective because I have more to compare it to)#im rambling now. community college is pretty swag i enjoy it. and i do get along with the teachers who have crazy requirements too lol.

lmao @ mozilla putting telemetry in firefox, then saying they will "anonymize it" and "not sell it to third parties"... and then a month later they acquire an advertising broker and send your data to that, which technically means it's a first party and their little "promise" isn't broken, while still attempting to send you directed ads based on your browsing data & profit from it

Today is a tragic day. After 3 years of me using adblock so I could watch YouTube videos without being constantly interrupted, I've had to disable it because YouTube are a bunch of fucking cowards that blocked my adblock. I will not submit and I found a way to bypass it by disabling it then enabling it again but it won't be long before YouTube learns my tactics.
YouTube: you are a coward. Have you ever stopped to consider WHY people use adblocks? Have you given it even just a little thought? No, of course not.
At least I have an excuse to make that really violent and bloody game about killing ads and YouTube itself now.

Have you seen that hella weird ad on here where a walleyed AI Jesus is about to fuck a donkey. Anyways, I saw that shit and thought, aw cute, horsepussy is out here working hard to make us memes about Jesus raw dogging a donkey. But it was just an ad.
Tumblr media
Jeezy and Mohammad are popular today. All the cringe ai pages are overrun with jesus pictures this week. It's like how last week all memes were about the Degrassi rapper and the other guy. And 2 weeks ago all the memes were about women having sex with bears. I don't know what any of it means.
