"are you a boy or a girl" "no I'm tired"

that uBlock Origin post about how to bypass YouTube's adblocker nags has been making the rounds, but it isn't the clearest in terms of steps, so here's a quick PSA:

1. click the uBO shield icon
2. click the settings button (gears)
3. go to the "Filter lists" tab
4. click "Purge all caches"
5. click "Update now"
6. now refresh the YouTube page.

every time I've seen one of the nag popups, this has instantly fixed the problem.

Just a reminder for everyone that is feeling overwhelmed with all the political/climate/economic/war news right now.

You can turn it off.
You can step away.
You can do whatever you need to do to put yourself in a better position to handle things.

#mentalhealth matters. Especially your own.

You can Mute, Filter, and Block. You do NOT need to explain to anyone.

Put yourself First.

It depends on which way inclined they are. No judging.

bad first day on the job

The story campaign is finally taking shape! Today was very productive. #babaisyou

If you find yourself in the place I did (which, like, the longer you stay here the higher that probability gets), and you DIDN'T back up that .csv, you're gonna at some point vent about this Situation to an actual real-life friend, in person, using your meat mouth, and they're gonna make this face 😱 and they'll be RIGHT to do so and you'll know it.

Seriously I see so many "Hey all the newbies, remember to CW eye contact and food and get off .social ASAP," but I don't see "Back your followers the hell up because beefs between admins you don't even know will silently and irrevocably sever your relationships" posted, like, Anywhere. TBH if it were up to me that'd be the first damn thing the website tells you.

Also while I'm PSAing maybe don't make threads that get so long they've gotta span THREE DANG SERVERS but I know you all are too sensible to do that so that's more of a Note To Self thing

Today on Okazu - I'm In Love With the Villainess and 'The Talk'

'Reality in Anime' Week continues with a discussion about the discussion of Rae's sexuality in I'm In Love With The Villainess.

Take that, Kadokawa.

I wish more journalists covering YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers told the blunt truth about what it really is & why blocking ads is so prevalent:

It's a simple money grab by a corporation that already has too much money (Google).

Google is going after ad blockers because enough people have figured out that ad networks are genuinely as unsafe for their own computers as LimeWire ever was.

Keep #adblocking.

Reminder that if you are on mastodon.art, their admin is blocking you from all of your connections and art clients on tech.lgbt in two days
