[Fixed maybe?] YouTube hasn't worked in Firefox for me for *weeks*
  • Back in the Fall of 2023, I was trying some things to mitigate the infamous YouTube ad-blocker restrictions. Prior to that, I had been using the "Enhancer for YouTube" extension, but later disabled it via "uBlock Origin's" recommended workaround for the ad-blocker restrictions.

    I was also testing some things with "NoScript", but found it caused some websites to not load. It's now disabled as well.

    Luckily, "uBlock Origin" seems to have solved the problem in an update I received in December, I think.

    If you've been doing anything like what I just described, try disabling or uninstalling every extension except "uBlock Origin" and make sure you have the latest version. If that doesn't work, try restoring default settings or disabling/uninstalling uBlock Origin and go from there.

    Otherwise, I suspect you might have a bad cache, but it wouldn't hurt to go through this list from top to bottom just to be sure you don't miss something. The article is from 2021, so if the details don't align with your current version of Firefox, etc, just look up how to do the same thing it recommends, only with updated instructions. https://techwiser.com/fix-youtube-not-working-firefox/

  • Deus Ex: Revision - Free Mod Suite Available on Steam!
    store.steampowered.com Deus Ex: Revision on Steam

    Deus Ex: Revision is a community-made overhaul of the 2000 classic. It features new environments, music, world-building detail, and bundles in some of the best modifications the fanbase has made, including Direct3D 9 rendering, high-res textures, high-detail models, and alt gameplay modes.

    Deus Ex: Revision on Steam

    I thought I would call attention to "Deus Ex: Revision"; a well-tailored, free mod suite available on Steam.

    I used it about a year ago and it was a great way to re-experience the classic first game on modern PC hardware with tons of optional tweaks and graphics upgrades to take advantage of.

  • Any static red or yellow patterns will cause significant burn in. I have Netflix and YouTube logos as well as their progress bars burned into my 2018 LG from their “smart” TV apps. It took a couple of years to be noticeable, but once it’s there, you always see it.

  • E. Jean Carroll says she wants to spend her $83.3 million in damages on something ‘Trump hates’
  • All valid points, but Trump probably hates them more now than he liked them then. Also, I put DNC as a sort of umbrella listing for Trump’s political rivals with the best chances of beating him and his republican cronies in future elections; something American democracy can’t afford to lose.

  • The Real Reason Thousands Are Fleeing Conscription in Ukraine
  • Downvoting because of the paywall. The (perhaps misleading) headline makes it seem like thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing Ukraine to avoid dying for Ukraine’s sovereignty, but this could just as easily be about Russians fleeing Russia to avoid a dying for the Russian elites’ agenda.

  • Not Sparks.
  • Bob and Kathy should be retired by that point. Dave might still be around, though…

    Hopefully, Disney will be having their 3rd renaissance by then, but that’s being optimistic.

    Dead Girls Don't Dance

    I’m sure many of you are familiar with the Finnish synth/retrowave group known as Nightstop. Albums of theirs like “Streetwalker” and the single, “Drive by Stalking” have been staples in the genre for years.

    Well, I’m here to tell you that their new album is very different from their previous works. It’s a surprisingly magnificent evolution and easily a masterpiece!

    Here’s the description from their website (cleaned up for English):

    DEAD GIRLS DON’T DANCE” (2023) is a more-sinister and dangerous dark electro than our previous Streetwalker synthwave-style releases. The album is inspired by the ultraviolent “Berserk” manga and anime classics like “Akira” and “Cyber City Oedo 808”. It’s a love letter to 80s and 90s Japanese cyberpunk pop culture with a pinch of western imagination. The atmosphere revolves around themes of despair, trust, and betrayal in a Blade-Runner-style dystopia with blade-wielding androids mixed with occult demons and devils.
