For comparability with each other, this table from Hagezi’s block list on github is a good reference

Honestly the difference mostly comes down to the software you use, from what I can tell. Generally if you use an extension it will be more comprehensive in the blocking, since some sites (like YouTube) serve ads from their own domains.

Also, the Adblock format is what’s used by a lot of the software that blocks ads at a DNS level, at least that consumers will use. Per the table it supports Pi-hole, AdGuard, AdGuard Home, eBlocker, uBlock Origin, Brave (only in aggressive mode), AdNauseam, and Little Snitch Mini, which is pretty comprehensive.

Aside that there’s hosts if you want to do it on a Linux desktop. I don’t recommend that, as you need to manually update the list every so often, though I’m sure it could be automated if you really want to.

Personally I just shoved one of Hagezi’s into AdGuard Home and called it a day. I check it about once a week to see what domains are getting pinged most, and block any suspicious ones.

Edit: No idea why the table condensed that much in the picture, removing it since it’s not really useful if you can’t see the whole table

“Hackers have unredacted the Epstein files!”

The hacking: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, click into open word document, Ctrl+V

I mean, SL took off enough that it’s still here. A lot of F2P MMOs from around then aren’t really around anymore at all, I can only think of 2 others.

It may not be one of the big MMOs, but an estimated 600k MAU isn’t anything to sneeze at either.

Honestly mouse cursor customization is the one thing I miss from KDE, I love having goofy animations as my cursor

If only Waze weren’t owned by Google… I saw they had that function. Wonder if you can do that with OSMAnd…

… That makes me viscerally uncomfortable, and I’m going to be putting it into my daily vocabulary.

I mean, in the US we didn’t even pay attention to the experts past the first, what, year of COVID? And that year we basically eradicated the seasonal flu, which killed ~26,000 people in the 19-20 flu season in the US.That was the last time we even considered that an expert could exist.

As for safety hysteria, I don’t even see masks in public anymore. Most of the time I go to a store I’m the only one wearing one, while people are dying, and being permanently disabled by COVID.

Digital dependence is something that was happening before COVID. I think the only bill I’ve paid using a check instead of paying online was my rent, and that’s because they charged extra to pay online. It definitely increased screen time for a lot of people, but the dependence isn’t set by individuals; it’s set by the fact that paying by check is becoming more difficult, and a lot of businesses are going online-only.

You is a second person pronoun, it’s used in place of a proper noun. A person’s name when talking to them, in this case

I remember when I was trying to learn German, one sentence the app gave got burned into my brain forever:

Der Tisch hat kein Geschlecht.

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with the point of the table not having a gender; you just called him a man.

It was around the 1700s, right about when “you” became a singular pronoun

I did try this, and I can still tell. I sent someone a voice message, then told them to re-send it to me at a random time. Could still tell it was me.

I did, however, get around it while voice training? I’d spent a week speaking in a different voice to my usual, then when I recorded something in my usual voice it didn’t give the effect you usually get when listening to your own voice. I did get it when listening to a recording done with the trained voice, though.

I use org-roam (similar to Obsidian) to do that, the graph is neat for it! I only personally go to metamours, but I might pass an Obsidian vault around to see how deep that rabbit hole goes.
