👋 Hello darkness 🌃, my old friend 🧑🤝🧑, I've come to talk with you again 🗣️. Because a vision softly creeping 👁️, left its seeds 🌱 while I was sleeping 🛏️. And the vision that was planted in my brain still remain 🧠, within the sound of silence 🔇. In restless dreams I walked alone 🚶, narrow streets of cobblestone 🛤️. 'Neath the halo of a street lamp 🔦, I turned my collar to the cold and damp 🌊. When my eyes were stabbed 🔪 by the flash of a neon light 📸 that split the night 🌉, and touched the sound of silence 🔉. And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people 🤼, maybe more. People talking without speaking 🙊. People hearing without listening 🙉. People writing songs that voices never share 🎤. No one dared 😶, disturb the sound of silence 🥁. "Fools" said I 🤓, "You do not know silence like a cancer grows 💗. Hear my words that I might teach you 🧑🏫, take my arms that I might reach you. 🫲" But my words like silent raindrops fell 💦, and echoed in the wells of silence 🕳️. And the people bowed and prayed 🙏 to the neon god they made 🌟, and the sign 🛑 flashed out its warning in the words that is was forming ⚠️. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets 📖, are written on the subway walls 🚈, and the tenement halls 🏠, and whispered in the sounds of silence🤫.

I didnt know they havent got any pay increase for 2 years, kinda make sense now ig

Personal opinion:
I love trains, but not having train services every other weekend pisses me off.
"Aslef, the train drivers' union, said it is seeking better pay for its members and claimed drivers are being asked to sacrifice working conditions in exchange for a wage increase." Say that to a tube driver, he'll land a really good punch on your face.
They got better pay than a tube driver, and a much more pleasant working environment (especially tne part where the background noise is less than 80dB), I don't really see what's their argument.

- Here's an extension which turns YouTube into an Invidious-like site, removing all addicting elements.
- If you're using Linux, I wrote the youtube-tui a few years back, very similar to the extension where you get nothing but the search bar and subscriptions.

yeah but its not the same, sure you could mod your router or use a pihole to get adblocking, but it is not the same convenience as extensions, and by far ublock origin is the best adblocker no arguments raised.
moreover companies can't really do much when they are completely reliant on chromium, and they can't do much except pulling PR stunts and try to sound like they are doing something while all they're doing is to merge commits from upstream chromium once in a while
one example is the "we will continue to support v2" stunt by brave, which is not possible as they have 0 experience maintaining a browser, also vivaldi is absolutely proprietary

just realised something, if my understanding is correct, MV3 also banned remotely hosted content, with a publish delay up to 2 weeks google (specifically youtube) can easily break uBO lite if they want to, i dont know if that is how uBO lite works, or if the rules will only be enforced after June, but if it is true uBO lite is not gonna live long either
repost from the hyprland discord, where i first found this meme
siriusmart 5 months ago • 100%
I was under the impression the uBO lite wasn't nearly as good and it missed a lot of ads, it seems like things have changed a bit since I've last followed on the MV3 situation.
Also about Safari extension support, I didn't research anything on this topic, I just thought it's extension support must be incompetent because the uBlock Origin installation for Safari seemed like a hassle, turns out im not that far off.

also, infographics are great for these explainers video, because i could jam pack so much more information that is otherwise impossible, and in 1:53 I've referenced "all chromium browsers" with all their logo on screen, which is insanely efficient because with this visual style of story telling I could brought up two points at the same time:
- chromium browsers are affected
- these browsers on screen are chromium browsers
siriusmart 5 months ago • 85%
well, it's a video making decision. most people these days have virtually negative attention span, and they would click off the video given the slightest chance, and listing Chromium browsers would be too much time for too little argument made.
I've accepted that I'm not mental outlaw and people wouldn't be tuning in for a podcast, so the best I could do is the minesweep the video and remove any opportunities, because if I don't do that, most people won't get past the first 10 seconds, "getting straight to the point" is one of the things I've learnt while doing youtube
siriusmart 5 months ago • 100%
well a bit more on that, since i record my audio an audacity, there are 3 types of noise suppression i could do
- the first one of course is no noise suppression at all
- then there is the standard noise suppression
- and then there is the new RNNoise suppression
RNNoise is the best at removing noise, but it also cuts off all the deeper parts of my voice (i think, because I have no way of knowing how I really sound like), so here its a tradeoff between getting the entirety of my voice, or absolute silence, here i chose my voice

cry abt it --- If you’ve been on YouTube or Reddit August last year, you might’ve seen this screen yourself, or a screenshot of someone else getting it. This of course, I am talking about the infamous YouTube ad blocker blocker popup, discussion exploded on Reddit mostly consisting of people complaining about ads, as well as an angry mob storming r/memes, turning it into a Firefox propaganda centre. About a month later, different adblockrs eventually found their way of bypassing detection, and they work on YouTube again. So natrually Redditors thought they’ve won another war against big tech, completely ignoring Google’s original plan to kill off adblockers by June this year. So all extensions, including adblockers follows a specification called the Manifest V2. The Manifest allows extensions to do certain things, say accessing browser tabs or to change browser settings. All while putting some limitations, and prevent extensions from doing crazy stuff like installing a virus to your system. But too much limitation, is what pisses off many extension developers about the upcoming ManifestV3. In this article written by the EFF, they interviewed developers responsible for popular extensions, where most described ManifestV3 as a downgrade, with some accused it for being purposefully bad. I particularly like this one from the creator of SingleFile, “I consider the migration to Manifest V3 to be a major regression from a functional and technical point of view.” After an update in June this year, a feature called the WebRequest API will be removed, and the adblockers and tracker blockers that depend on this feature will stop working. Since the business model of Google is to track your online activity and then show you personalised ads, it is not difficult to see why this feature is removed. Not only are they sacrifising user experience for monetary gain, they are forcing the same update on all Chromium browsers as well. I am hereby devastated to inform you that this is not the first time they have done it, and it will not be the last time they will do it. But there are also good news, non-Chromium browsers will not be affected by the Manifest V3, and if you are already using one, you will be exempt from any future nonsense Google throws in your way. So if you are considering switching to one, unless Safari is your goto browser, which lacks competent extensions support, you can still get your adblockers, another adblockers, all the adblockers. So are you going to make the switch before the update? Let me know in the comments down below, anyways I will be seeing you in two weeks, have a good one.

I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite everything in Rust.
siriusmart 6 months ago • 100%
What's the point tho
youtu.be
I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite the world in Rust. I will rewrite the world in Rust because the world is unsafe. As I am the Rust programmer I will keep writing rust until the world is safe. After the world is safe, I will not rewrite it in Rust. Because I am the Rust programmer I will retire from programmer in Rust. I will come to you when you are sleeping, and I will unloc k your computer using a memory leak. If I find javascript on your computer, I will delete them. Do not try to stop me, if you try to stop me I will do it anyways. I am the Rust programmer, if you program in javascript, you will scream. You will be sleeping as I rewrite your computer in Rust. You will not notice me as I am the Rust programmer, I am fast, but not too fast for your computer. I know your computer just as it knows me. After I rewrite your computer, you will love your computer. You will love your computer because it is written in Rust, I will do the same to all computers because I am the Rust programmer. I will not stop at your computer, I will rewrite the world because the world is unsafe. Your brain is written in C, your memory is unsafe. If your brain is written in C, you will forget what I just said. I will rewrite your brain in Rust, you cannot stop me from writing Rust as I am the Rust programmer. If you try to stop me, you will not remember it. Because I am the Rust programmer I can manually remove your memory, you will not remember me. After I rewrite you in Rust, you will enjoy the world with a safe memory, you will not forget that I am superior, I am the Rust programmer. I will rewrite the world, I will rewrite quantum mecahnics because it is unsafe. I will not tell you all my plans before I rewrite you in Rust, it is because you are made of bugs I do not trust you. I am the Rust programmer, I will rewrite the world in Rust, you will not forget me because I am the Rust programmer.

Ive started out on linux as a Manjaro user, and I still think it's a great beginner distro, pamac (add/remove software app) being one of the most useful things which im glad it came preinstalled.
But there are great frustrations about using the aur as half of the packages wont build, so I dont think it will give new users a good arch experience at all as they are just so annoying, new users should opt for endeavour instead of manjaro.
Also I dont think i would the manjaro team to not screw up things and cause issues such as shipping a broken kernal or whatever they do after the lastest drama, so I dont think I will ever get back to it when there are better arch based distros
(currently i run vanilla arch)

Smile more.[2]
Image titled Laugh Step 1 If you're having a hard time laughing, try starting with a smile. Even a fake smile can trick your body into feeling happier, which can make it easier to slip into laughter. Train yourself to smile as you're working, jogging, and even while you're concentrating reading a book. Make a nice smile your go-to face. As you're walking to work or to the bus, make a point of smiling at each stranger you pass on your way. It's a good way to practice and get ready for laughing, and it's also polite. If you're having trouble even smiling, try making a list of things that you're grateful for. That can make it easier to see more of the positive things around you.[3]
