i tried checking at walmart, but they haven’t carried it since the early 1970s

timeshift should be available.

his ‘project liberty’ has its own protocol, dsnp (decentralized social networking protocol).

does anything even use it?

some way to call a custom or ‘third party’ (not compiled into the program) extractor would probably be enough. then let other people work on ones for the, um, ‘problem sites’.

if google cared, they’d vet ads and ad links, and guarantee their safety and security.

if google cared, they’d put a stop to seo ‘optimizers’ and scammers scoring top positions on serps.

but google doesn’t care about anything other than their profits and share price.

adblockers can affect both of those. they’re using the weak cover of ‘security’ enhancement to neuter them.

existing adblockers provide more safety and security than what can be realized by the shift to mv3.

i mostly use a vivaldi or opera portable for those. unzip, run, use the temperamental site, close, delete directory. it’s not very often that i have to do this.

but for a couple of pesky sites i do frequent a bit more often, i keep their portable browsers to reuse and have them configured (including addons) specifically for them.

i did read somewhere that affected chrome users are being presented with alternatives from the chrome extension ‘store’ that are mv3-ready.

whether or not they’re capable of clicking the right buttons on the right screens and windows to do it is another story.

ubo, abp and adguard all have mv3 variants. there are others, but i think those are the ‘big three’. ublock origin lite is what i’ve been moving people to here, if not to firefox. so far, so good.

dns blocking methods do not, and literally cannot, block them all.

yes, it will.

whether or not a ‘fully functional’ and fully-featured content blocker remains available for third-party browsers that use chromium as their core will depend on those third-parties and what they add, or add back, to their own releases to support those kinds of browser extensions.

you opt out of all, they send crap a year later–presumably without you conducting other business with them in the meantime, correct? hell yea, that’s spam.

this is the way. easy. no install. no extra steps. update when you want.

or you can add the ppa that’s listed in the yt-dlp install instructions (scroll down to third-party package managers > apt) and use apt to install it like any other package.

i’ve been down that road before. three part time jobs means no benefits and no employer-sponsored health coverage. it’s also extremely difficult to schedule multiple part time jobs so they don’t conflict with each other while still giving you something resembling ‘weekend’ off.

user friendly ‘self installs’ in many places…

biden stammers twice, but otherwise is impeccable.

cnn lobs nothing but softballs to the orange one. still screws 'em up, goes off on tangents, spouts nothing but lies, rages about everything. declared the ‘winner’.
