I started to think Garland was a deep mole for the far-right GOP years ago, his inaction was beyond incompetence, it’s almost as if he WANTED to run the clock out for any meaningful prosecutions.

That last one was a Sumatran Rat Monkey. :o

…until Bezos or Musk or one of their nepo-spawn drag an asteroid into orbit, then all metals will be priced according to their stranglehold on the resulting glut in supply, like diamonds.

Nationalize 'em, seize their Canadian assets to get back some of the money we gave them to produce here. Seems fair as they broke their promise…

The irony - Huawei got its start if I recall by stealing Nortel’s tech, a Canadian firm.

Hmm. OK, I’ve been using AdAway (not AdGuard) as DNS and/or VPN, experimenting with both) under Pixel 9 stock OS, and it mostly works… but some apps and websites still get ads through.

LineageOS w/Adaway root /etc/hosts blocklists was 100% perfect on my older phone… that’s my main quibble with trying LineageOS vs. GrapheneOS.

I know some people recommend against rooting, but I’ve never had security issues doing it and it seemed to offer more bulletproof ad-blocking.

Can you tell me how the ad experience is with GrapheneOS? As in, do apps which try to insert ads in screen transitions (or anywhere) still do so? Or websites which put in AdSense popups?

GrapheneOS doesn’t recommend AdAway or other adblocking solutions, so does it do so itself?

As of today at least, I can still download video/audio from YT on my android phone with NewPipe…

Exactly. This was a non-apology and Kimmel wasn’t the one who needed talking to, I hope he doesn’t tone down his monologues one iota.

Keep the boycott on.

Don yer eyepatch mehearty. Yarrrrr.

I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn’t make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing. What to do, what to do…

Will nothing rid us all of this turbulent turd? (Note “nothing”, not ‘no one’)

I’d bet some or all of them have been outright destroyed by now, since there’s no respect for procedures or the rule of law in any branch of the US govt any more and whomever has actual physical access is probably a stooge loyal to the regime by this point.

I understood that reference

…but sad both of these a-holes are this rich.

Well shit, that’s gonna get used as an excuse to ratchet up the fascism… ‘justify’ the MAGA persecution complex even more.

Search for v2.79 (if memory serves) on oldversion.com for the last ‘good’ version of classic winamp, and the streamripper plugin is still floating around somewhere on the 'net…

An absolutely ancient tool I used to use was WinAmp (v2.x) with the Streamripper plugin. It would save out each song from a shoutcast or icecast station to a file with the artist/album/title/track like a champ. Maybe not quite what you want (won’t do youtube) but there are a ton of great indie stations on the vorbis icecast network…

Indeed – I should have made it more explicit that they could use their vast wealth for a good cause here.

The dark faerie-tale practically writes itself: young children compelled to go to the edge of the nearby forest, so they may plant their weekly required seedling… oh dear.
