Since we're talking about it, and I really like the guy's work, I figured I should say who coined it! Author, Cory Doctorow! He has a blog where he (among all the other stuff he writes about) defined the word, and wrote several articles about it.

Without the tracking string on the end.

Sort of a remake, sort of a prequel.

To ensure compatibility, you said you had a local bike shop... you should probably go there and get your brakes swapped with whatever you're excited for, that they can order in.

Plus, support local, of course.

For anyone else wanting a link. Here's the YouTube address in usable form.

IMO, the video is fine. The presenter's constant interjections get pretty tiring, but yes. Orange man makes a right fool of himself. As always.

I mean, this isn't cute, but it's at least a little funny.

Don't get me wrong, it's horrifying for sure, but it's also pretty funny.

Cool! Are you talking about something like pi-hole or something else? In what way is it going to lead to better outcomes? I already have a pretty much flawless experience with my adblockers (especially when it comes to easily creating custom rules, using the element zapper, and testing new blocklists).

I find that my suite of browser extensions serves me really well, and it keeps working even when I enable my VPN, but something like pi-hole stops working if you do that.

How does the solution you're talking about differ? How does it provide a better experience?

Fennec, it's a type of fox in the real world, and it's a perfectly fine fork of Firefox.

And Firefox for android is great, leaps and bounds better than the Chromes and Chromiums that many people use. Firefox for android allows you to install browser extensions!

I never have to leave home without my µBlock Origin again.

Weaker copyleft. Doesn't guarantee freedom the way GPL does.

If someone were to make a proprietary derivative using the MIT licensed code, that would be allowed. Their source code changes aren't required to be shared and licensed under a FLOSS license.

GPL on the other hand, guarantees (legally, not always in practice) that any derivatives are to be licensed the same way, so they must remain FLOSS.

I'm an RSS newbie, but I need to +1 Feeder. I tried a handful, and it was easily my favourite from the get-go.

Yes! He spread(s) a bunch of vaccine misinformation.

Shaun had the best distillation of what I could find. I was glad someone else had noticed his BS. It was driving me crazy when people shared some of his vaccine specific clips with me.

Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That's just upsetting to think about. "Widescreen" (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.

If you're watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you're likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.
