the filter list maintainers and debuggers deserve the big shout out here.

my uBo code is a bit dated (don’t update addons automatically) but has updated filter lists and works fine so far.

the big content providers and studios often don’t allow a higher bitrate or resolution in a third-party (to the os its on) browser… i hardly ever see 1080p available on that free stuff on yt.

so, like half (more?) of current ‘open source’ isn’t, then? because it lacks in one or the other… or both?

watched a free movie on yt for the first time in a couple months last thursday. i knew about the new war on adblockers, so i had updated ublock origin’s filter list cache first.

worked fine no ads, even got 1080p, which i rarely ever see for the ‘legit’ mainstream tv shows and movies they have.

probably takes a bit of effort to keep windows built-in spell checker from working in it.

abiword’s basically a dead project for windows and macos. the linux version i think saw an update a couple years ago… but i can’t get to the site (abisource.com) now at all to check.

i use wordpad a lot for viewing docs (loads faster, uncluttered ui). occasionally writing them… and more than once instead of notepad for a text file (on a system without a notepad alternative available) because i needed more features.

i have a few clients that use wordpad as their ‘word processor’, lack of spelling check be damned.

microsoft must have run out of excuses for specifically not including one in it, seeing how recent windows has spell check baked-in to the os itself. so instead of losing a few dozen sales of office home and student or 365 by making wordpad just a little bit better for those who use it, they’re gonna be the assholes and take it out completely and push everyone to the damn cloud app or a 365 sub. fk 'em.

use onlyoffice desktop editors here.

not willingly, anyway. gotta keep it tied-up in the courts long enough so that becomes “too late” to change the maps for 2024.

and the £100,770 ain’t gonna go very far. they already have three kids, they ought to know that.

could just be the custom user-agent string configured in whatever browser or script they’re running.

that’s image sprites.

nowadays, icons are very often SVG embedded right in the html or js.

not even that exciting. the company that made the snacks apparently went out of business a year ago, so the domain lapsed… and this is what can happen.

freedum.

afaik it’s never been a student “plan”, it’s always been done as a one-time use (per acct, after verification) coupon code

thanks for that. now my brain is 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵

as long as there’s a separate bathroom and not just a big bucket in the driveway…

i think that’s gonna become the norm as prices keep going up and up… hopping from service to service. binge. switch. repeat. maybe a month ‘off’ here and there.

i’m still on hiatus from paid services here. been nearly a year since my last paid ‘month’ anywhere. tubi, pluto and rokuchannel have been ‘good enough’–i don’t even miss the subs at this point.

email spam and scammers have been using this tactic forever. if a person is stupid enough to click or respond to the message from ‘Wels Farpo’, they’re more apt to go all-in on the scam.
