I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:

• Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants

• Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)

• Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites’ cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

• uBlock Origin

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen “enable history to see recommendations” blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It’s not. I remember all the channels I like, and it’s easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

Man that guy’s hair is seriously out or regs.

Yeah some kind of fucky configuration.

The root is:

http://archive.ubuntu.com

Which, if the ubuntu link is clicked, then drops you into the the real archive root… but the link is “appended” to the new path, but the same link is reproduced in the “new” folder. Click it again, and another segment added to your current path even though you’re in the same root archive, ad nauseam.

I couldn’t find this misconfiguration on stackoverflow, which leads me to believe someone at ubuntu is doing something especially special here.

I    don’t    use    an    ide,    but    I    wrote    a    script    that    replaces    any    space    I    type    with    four.

I    haven’t    worked    out    all    the    use    cases    yet,    though.

The FN P90 (matching the text in the pic):

Not only did the FN P90 fire a revolutionary and original ammunition, but it also marked the advent of two significant technological events in the history of gun making at FN. First of all, its patent specified the placement of the 50-round magazine along the barrel and axis of the weapon, while all the machine pistols of the time were still encumbered, either laterally or vertically, by their long magazines. Furthermore, through the power of its spring, the FN P90 magazine itself ensured the rotation and exit of the ammunition into the gun’s chamber. Also, for the first time in FN’s history, the development team chose to put their faith in the possibilities offered by technical polymers. This choice placed FN Herstal definitively at the forefront of high tech technologies. More than 50 percent of the new arms later developed by FN Herstal would be made of composite materials.

Emacs really is powerful, all it needs now is a decent text editor.
