        Friday 13th its bad luck to walk under a ladder, bad luck to see a black cat - so I think walking under a black cat would sorta kinda cancel out …

    I haven’t read any news in about 4 or so months.

    Previously, I was glued every day doomscrolling multiple news sources and subreddits a day.

    In a way, it’s putting my head in the sand. But to be completely up front, my mental health has benefited significantly.

    Have returned to Firefox and it was far less painful of a transition than I thought. After figuring out some video rendering issues (stuttering caused by hardware acceleration, and tearing fixed by setting minor frame rate to max) there are only upsides so far!

      I returned to Firefox (after years of using Chrome out of laziness) on my work laptop because of Google’s manifestly (ha) stupid decision to block functionality that means uBlock Origin no longer could be installed, which means I had no way of manually adding extra filters to block the garbage AI Overview in el goog search results.

      Honestly think I should just switch to Firefox on my personal computer too. I use Iceraven on my phone which is a fork of Firefox, anyway…

        This is why I returned, though I was using Edge and they haven’t set a date yet for ending Manifest V2 support. Figured I’d get ahead of it. The uBO team also say it works best on Firefox too.

        I use Brave on my phone, because of its inbuilt ad blocker - I can watch YT videos without all the ads before, during, and after the vid lol idk about it’s other functionalities however.

          I can use uBlock Origin in Iceraven on my phone, which probably has a similar-ish outcome (though it’s slower at keeping up the YT ads arms race, every so often ads will slip in)

          However, I instead watch YT on a Revanced patched version of the Youtube app, which blocks ads, uses Sponsorblock (skip all the sponsored segments and if you want to skip intros/intermissions/outros etc), and very importantly, lets you have background playback - I couldn’t be happier with it! Especially when I want to have some 3 hour brown noise + rain video playing in the background while I doomscroll

    Anyone want an overbearing 7kg cat that refuses to listen, insists on licking your face while clawing your neck, flicks kitty litter everywhere, opens every cupboard that he can, must be involved in everything and is currently nuzzled my fingers while I try to type? Anyone? Please?

            He’s already packaged up in the box, he’s coming over! 📦 All jokes, we couldn’t part with him, the house would be too quiet - although less stinky! Ten minutes ago I sneezed and he farted out of shock. He’s certainly a character!
