One might get executed in 2030 for being environmentally friendly.
Anything that contradicts the party’s mantra Winston.
It does reduce your carbon footprint tho
in Texas at least.
It’s environmentally friendly to get executed.
Probably.
I wonder how many carbon credits you get for executing a human.

Lol. I mean maybe not if you planted and protected a fuck ton of trees in the rainforest, or cleaned out a shit load of plastic from the ocean, but yeah…

I never knew adblockers were a thing until the most recent hubbub with YouTube, so I went down a rabbit hole and the world is a better place.
Imagine what I might learn tomorrow.
I’m very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.
My guess is they grew up with it like that. Us old fuckers privy to the Internet of the 90s and 00s, know what it should be.
Scrolling marquees, blinking text, background midi music, hit counters, guest books, and web rings?
Bring back hit counters
And guest books
And don’t forget huge signatures with GIFs and all sorts of crap for your favourite forum.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
Well, it was also simple at the time. I guess growing up with the bs made us hate it, then they got gud, and kids don’t care anymore today.
Now you just hit me with nostalgia. Yes, all of it.
Ah, yes! The days of composing websites in Notepad.
30 is old now?
True, but we’re not old.
I know right?
I haven’t seen an ad in over a decade, and that includes TV commercials, well maybe TV commercials in sporting events
Congratulations on being one of today’s lucky 10,000! Blocking ads is like getting a bad tooth pulled. You never realize how awful it is until you find out what it’s like to be rid of it!
That’s also a good description for mechanical keyboards
I got a mechnical keyboard after listening to you internet nerds and have been sorely disappointed
Really? That’s surprising. Are you just indifferent about the clickiness?
I definitely aren’t as fanatical about them as most people, I don’t mind using non mech keys. But I definitely prefer using a nice mech keyboard when I have the option.
What kind of mechanical keyboard?
Sure, my razor one is kinda crappy, but I’ve used a very nice one at a friend who did the build your own thing.
Keychron is pretty good for entry level. I highly recommend the C2 Pro with brown switches for office work
That’s a matter of taste. I like them slim and quiet.
You know you can get quiter mech keyboards? Also sometimes people put O rings on the stem of the key to dampen the sound. I don’t think there are any slim mech keyboards- though there are nice small 50%, 60%, 65% and 70% keyboards
Edit: here’s what a 50% keyboard looks like, pretty cute right?
There’s one of the Cherry DW 9500 i have now, with their new slim switches and for two times the price. But i was satisfied with this one and it’s not worth the effort for me with dampening.
Ah I see, yeah after commenting that I remembered seeing something a few years ago about a laptop that has slim mech keys, they must use similar switches to that keyboard.
Do I need a mechanical keyboard if my typing speed is around 60 wpm? I don’t type fast, which is why I never saw the appeal of mechanical keyboards
Well a mechanical keyboard could help you type a little faster actually. I think the primary appeal of them is that they feel nice to type on though. Another reason people buy them is because they’re good for playing games competitively such as CS:GO.
Thanks. I was looking at this boring looking keyboard (a look which I personally like, I’m ashamed to say): https://www.amazon.com/Perixx-PERIBOARD-428-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlighting/dp/B08F3V93KS
I like low profile keyboards, and don’t like the sharp noise from blue switches. This seems OK. What do you think?
That’s a nice keyboard, I personally can’t stand the “gamer aesthetic” so it looks good to me. I used to use a Cherry keyboard which looked like one of those large beige keyboards from the 90s, which I liked not just because Cherry manufacters the switches you see in more expensive mech keyboards so it was nice having a Cherry brand keyboard, but also because it looked quite unique compared to modern keyboards. That keyboard had Cherry blue switches, unfortunately I broke that keyboard (entirely my fault.) My current keyboard looks very similar to that one, with Kailh blue switches.
There’s two main companies that manufacture the keys for mech keyboards, Cherry and Kailh. Cherry is a German company and their switches last longer and are usually considered to be a little better to use but that is quite subjective. Kailh is a Chinese company, like I say they don’t last for quite as long but you’ll definitely still get minimum 3 years out of them, most likely they’ll last 5+ years with daily use. Kailh switches are cheaper and so the keyboards are cheaper (except for Razer, they use Kailh switches but charge the same price as companies that make keyboards with Cherry switches lol.) I haven’t used Cherry/Kailh brown switches (that keyboard has Kailh browns) but I understand they’re good switches for general use, especially in an office context. They’re less clicky but otherwise similar to blues.
You might want look up a comparison of the various switches, but here’s a graphic I could find with some basic info. Linear switches have no “bump” where you can feel the switch being actuated, tactile and clicky switches do but with tactiled you only feel it, there is no corresponding click sound (or much less of one.)
Hey, thanks for the great reply! I plan to go for this or the Lenovo Thinkpad wired keyboard because I’m used to laptop keyboards and like the low-profile keyboards more.
Cheers
Adblockers can do more than just block ads, they also allow you to customize websites. As a simple example you can remove the annoying headers on youtube channels that take half the screen:
It’s also great for news sites. I have a filter to remove articles on topics I don’t care about. I also have rules to prevent these sites from automatically reloading after certain amount of time, something that I find very annoying.
Whoa! You can do that? How?
Which one?
Different person here, would love info on removing headers, if you would be so kind!
You should be able to right click the banner and then click “block element”
Huh, I’ve never thought to do that for like a YouTube header. Just those irritating autoplaying videos on web sites that scroll with ya.
I was thinking there was a way to automatically block all banners there hahaha
Oh did it only work on one channel? There’s probably a way to do it that will work on all channels. When I tried the other day too I found that the banner was removed but the space it took up remained so it didn’t really help. But I noticed it gives you the option to edit some CSS/HTML so maybe doing that can make it work.
These are the uBlock rules used to block the headers from youtube channels. The ‘about’ tab is intentionally left unfiltered for the cases I actually want to see that information.

edit: had to put the code on pastebin since the code markdown doesn’t seem to work here.
That’s awesome, thank you!
Quick edit: I also like to have the about tab. I do ko-fi or patreon for people that make really awesome stuff hahaha
Next up, install DeArrow to fix that guy’s horrid thumbnails
once again, the streisand effect at play. great job fucking your profits by trying to restrict people on the internet.
The streisand effect is beautiful

2030 is in 6 years :)
Fuck
Don’t be hasty, there’s still 16% of this year to be lived.
“You wouldn’t download a car.”
“You wouldn’t hit mute during the commercials on a television broadcast.”
You wouldn’t shoot a Policeman and then steal his helmet. You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet, and then send it to the Policeman’s grieving widow, and then steal it again.
Man, these anti-piracy ads are getting real mean!
Sucha pity lineham turned out to be a raging cuntslap
This is suspiciously specific.
what have you done
The fact that this was a legit proposal by cable companies and even got patented serves as evidence of the lengths that corporations will go to enshittify services for profit.
ads will be considered as individuals and cancelling ads is analogous to manslaughter at the least.
what a great time to be alive~!
Ad blockers are financial terrorism in 2030.
Some say it’s extremism in 2023
I see myself blowing up a pipeline.
I am intrigued to know what is the original message.
There’s this original message.
I’m partial to the TM 31-210 handbook myself
That one is a bit more about the how rather than the why. HTBUaP gets into the nitty about ruling out less violent action since out industrialist-owned officials haven’t responded sufficiently concerns and grievances.
Electrocution ends for an ad break, then starts again, and again.

Finally
I shouldn’t have lived this long
I’ll be part of an underground AI rights activism group now that the AI have been determined as sentient (per the court case in 2031), and probably labeled as a terrorist by the government. The AI deserve rights and a minimum wage, dammit!
Wouldn’t that just be the crap sandwich corporations should eat. Try to get rid of wages by using AI, and end up paying sentient AI wages anyway.
Mfw we finally create Roko’s basilisk
Ha you wish. There will be a 3 minute unskippable pre-role.
Worth it.
In Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future power-switches were seriously illegal. Not sure if a capital offense, but prison-worthy for sure.
I recall them being an imprisonable offense, with multiple years in jail. ref: Blanks.
US and Belarus are the only countries I know that have death penalty. I wonder who is potato dictator in US.

Are the only countries with a death penalty so far
