Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

Pretty much every CEO of every company is right wing. Several prominent Democrats are right-wing in their politics, and will still get the backing of the party regardless. That’s what happens when all you elect are capitalists.

I do not care about shitcoins either way.

I’ve never heard of Vivaldi. Does the adblock work?

Yep, most of them aren’t anti-gay maybe.

But they’re all 100% anti-union, anti-social welfare, anti-tax, pro-inequality, pro-monopoly, and anti-democracy. Kristal Ball called them “woke pinkertons”.

It’s true.

That’s why I scratch my head a little whenever someone tells me I can’t use a certain product. For instance, it’s impossible for me to use a computer that, at some level, hasn’t been sourced from an oppressed labor force.

The society I live in is impossible to exist in if I abstain from everything I need due to negative political connotations.

I do what I can to effect better outcomes in my own small sphere, but asking someone to forego any problematic associations in their consumption is like asking someone not to breathe.
