Squad Member Summer Lee Says Pelosi Wrong That Harris Should Govern From Center: ‘Progressive Ideals’ Are ‘What Average American Wants’ by mjhelto in c/politics@lemmy.world

Man fuck Pelosi. She's just worried about being unable to insider-trade her privileged position to wealth. If the play's not broken, why would they change a damn thing. Fuck these ghouls!

What's the most irresponsible purchase you made that you don't regret? by mjhelto in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 83 points 3 weeks ago

A round blanket with the pattern of a pepperoni pizza on it. Bought it as a funny treat for my wife and me. Our, now, 5yo sleeps with it every night. It's his pizza blanket!

Fuck those ghouls with a rusty train spike. I'll donate to Harris every month until election if she tells them to fuck all the way off! It might be only $25 a month, but that is like halfway to $7m.

I'll give up on YouTube before I give up my ad blocks or 3rd party apps. Fuck off Google.

[cross-post] Music not resuming playback when bluetooth device is connected (www.reddit.com)

I used to have no issue with this, just like the person from this reddit post, where my music app would resume playing if it was the last app with media playing via Bluetooth and I did not actively close the app since the last time it played.

I am having this same issue, with this same phone, running (I assume) the same Android version. Ever since I got my Pixel 7, I've had no problems with Bluetooth resuming in my car. I'd listen to Deezer on my way to work, my way from work, and as long as it was the app of choice, it would start playback as soon as it connected back to my car. I received a few updates recently and now that doesn't happen. Now it just shows me what it was playing, but never starts it, and I have to go into the app, itself, just to "wake it up" to play.

Anyone seen similar? I've unchecked all things that I know of which could stop an app from running in the background, or with loss of connection to devices. It's not set to close at all for any reason, yet it almost seems like it does. No one has responded to the OP of the cross-post so I figured I'd extend this post to Lemmy and see if anyone has an answer or suggestion.

Soon as my phone is paid off I'm going to Graphene or some other alternative to Google's trash.

I don't blame it for cutting off earth. This place is toxic and self destructive.

McConnell warns Democrat majority to back off subpoenas that attempt to prove corruption in the supreme Court. by mjhelto in c/politics@lemmy.world

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 161 points 10 months ago

Dude, just fucking die already. I hope they double their efforts of subpoenas going forward. If a spotlight is cast on a Democrat, well call for their removal as well. Politics should not be a "get rich quick" scheme. You work for us, asshole, and it's high time we reminded you/them of that fact.

YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world by mjhelto in c/technology@lemmy.world

Ya know, I've seen a lot of posts regarding Elon Musk spam in this community, and calls to "ban" them, yet every week we get gloom and doom posts like this when some new subset of the world starts seeing this shit. I'd really like to see a pinned message about the fix, which is...

Install Firefox or a derivative, and add the uBlock Origin extension.

If you visit YouTube and see the pop-up, the page isn't loading the video content, or it just seems to be acting strange, do the following:

Click on the uBlock Origin brown shield in your extensions.
Click the three little gears icon to enter the settings.
Make sure you're in the Filter lists section from the top and click the Purge all caches button below it.
Click the Update now button.
Wait until the filter update completes.
Refresh the tab(s) that YouTube is in.
Press play.

I literally have no other installed add-ons for ad blocking, anymore. Only uBlock Origin. Any time I see the message or YouTube starts acting up, I just repeat those 7 steps above for any YouTube tab that was already open, and viola, the video plays. It has simplified so many issues for me and reduced the number of adblock extensions I need to run.

I definitely plan on donating this holiday season to their team, probably the biggest share of the pie between the FOSS apps I enjoy and appreciate. Should uBlock Origin ever fail, I'll just stop going to YouTube.
