I honestly don’t know what I’m doing right, just typical stuff I’d think.

I have a pihole as my dns/dhcp. I use Firefox with enhanced tracking protection turned on, ublock origin and privacy badger.

On my phone I have AdGuard (paid one time license fee).

I still am seeing YouTube without ads. I occasionally have to reload a video, but no showstoppers yet. Only posting my setup in case it help anyone else. Hopefully it’s not instructions for them on what to attack next..

Can’t it be both? All the worlds current biggest problems are caused by this techbro disruptive bullshit. Door dash and AI are from the same ecosystem.

We had our chance, and this country chose this path. Every bit of this was telegraphed, nothing that is happening should be a surprise.

Your friends, relatives and neighbors all enthusiastically voted for this to happen (mine too). Do not let them forget.

It takes a bit of time to find the right distro and that is the biggest obstacle to linux imo.

It’s also the greatest benefit. Vanilla stuff works out of the box for most, but once you need more, there’s a paved runway headed in any direction you want to go (some in better shape than others to be fair).

Windows and OS X are certainly wider runways, but there are cliffs off the side of you want to change direction.

Good things usually take time, but you will know where you are when you get there.

Yep, I use Dr. Bronners for everything. Especially when camping, when it’s: hair, face & body, toothpaste, shaving cream, dish detergent, bug repellant, emergency lubricant (stuck stoves, tentpole, etc), laundry soap, and anything else I can find to use it for.

Sorry for the tired gif, but this is my exact reaction.

This shit drives me up a wall. The local, formerly awesome pizza place switched to DoorDash for delivery and it has sucked ever since. Pizza arrives cold since door dash drivers don’t have insulated bags, half the time they chuck it on the front porch and it sits there on the cold concrete even longer.

Delivery driver was always a reliable stoner job, I had so many friends in my youth who delivered pizza. Despite the cloud of weed smoke that came with the pizza, it was always hot and fast. They were motivated to get those tips after all.

I’m waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!

ding, ding, ding.. It's much more lucrative to be pursued than it is to be part of the machine. He'd be a relatively progressive republican (at least according to them) and he'd be getting criticism, instead of praise from the fascists.

there's that pesky concept that this clown ignores laws and norms, and has 2 additional branches of goverment who are dedicated to nothing more than sycophancy to him.

The US government is currently run by calvinball rules.
