  1. People that smoke in the woods are moronic psychopaths obviously.
    Then there's also people that throw away an empty cigarette pack in the woods. That's next level. There's no hope for them.
    The warning on the cigarette pack: "Smoking damages your lungs", is so true. Apparently though, also damages your brain.
    Go Vegan though.

  4. A new Google Annoyance I've noticed over the last week; they've changed it so that when you're looking up a restaurant's opening times on google maps you now have to "sign in" to get the opening times dropdown box to open.. You can still get around this by looking up the times in a standard web (non-google-maps) search though.

    Meanwhile developers are submitting tickets like this:

    ...what the fuck am I supposed to do, mate?

  13. I decided it was time to check out Firefox alternatives.

    LibreWolf came up, and being a FF fork, and a quick check shows it seems to update in a timely manner, I decided to give that a go.

    I decided to utilise Firefox Sync to get most of my FF setup imported into LW. Went smoothly enough, although I discovered that the tabs syncing is just providing a list of what's on other devices, not actually creating and populating all of the same windows.

    And, of course, some extensions just don't send their settings over Sync, so I had to manually export and import those.

    Even then LW, being "privacy focused" still had some settings like ... nuking all history, cache etc on restart, that don't suit my use case. No, I don't want to perform login, MFA etc every time I restart it, on multiple sites/tabs!
    So I found and twiddled those knobs back to not obnoxious.

    Once I'd gotten all my windows, tabs and tab groups set up, with the windows sized just as I like them I quit out of FF and restarted LW.

    LW completely fails to remember the sizes of windows! I will at best find this annoying every time I start it up, and at worst it'll just stop me from using it.

    As part of this it's *also* not using the size of the currently focused LW window to size any new windows. FF does this and I make good use of it (I have some smaller windows, one large main one, and an intermediate one that is well sized for some other uses).

    Yes, I've found a suitable LW issue and added a comment to it.

    "Programs that have their own agenda and that are trying to make it yours, too. Programs that want you to think about them. Programs that think they are entitled to a part of your attention. “Pick me” programs.

    And you know what? Fuck these programs. Give me back my computer."

  29. Starting to refactor my adblock filters and publish them, since I've got some rules some folks might find handy. There will be more than the one list there currently as I clean things up in my custom filters.

    So far, just have a list to block Sinclair Broadcasting, but there will be more.

  33. #Bosch #annoyances: gets his house broken into several times. NEVER locks his front door. 🤔

    Bosch has #trackers placed on his car in multiple episodes & seems clueless as to why people know where he is.

    #Bosch has his office bugged when he & Honey “Money” Chandler are being investigated by the feds. Finally finds out he’s being bugged, doesn’t tell Honey who is also bugged & he has meetings in her office.🤔

    #Coltrane is your typical #baddog #actor. Always looks at his trainer.
