Just allowing sites to deliver and execute js by default is insane. This is why every pirate should have a javascript blocking tool in their tool set.

Schneider Electric APC Back-UPS 1500VA, 900W.
They power on self-test okay, but go on to just fail to switchover during outages. I’m still trying to figure out if it is a factor of cumulative time, running hours, or they’re only good for a fixed number of power failures. And whether its the battery or the UPS device itself.
It feels like crashing your car, and then the airbags go off after you’re already mangled and bleeding out.
Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Disney, Fox, HBO, Hulu, MGM, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros.
Joke’s on you MPA, I don’t watch any modern trash produced by these “entertainment” companies.
Retail UPS batteries don’t even last a single year, in my experience. The weekly brownouts and momentary blackouts probably aren’t helping.
At this point, I’m just thinking of building my own with a charge controller, inverter and a bank of car batteries.
Consider running some kind of file integrity monitoring. samhain, tiger, tripwire, to name a few.
considering containerization, but so far, I find it not worth foregoing the benefits I get of a single package manager for the entire server
Just do MAC with either AppArmor or SELinux.
Now that’s argumentative! Relentless assholery was never the norm. But the ever present possibility that you could come under fire definitely hardened people up with thicker skin. I would call it banter. Or shit talk.
No, actually just the way the internet used to be before it got pussified by eternal hall monitor mentality.
Shortest answer: Agenda2030
You won’t even recognize the internet in a few years
What can we do to stop it?
But apparently people don’t care? They just keep paying for this?
Is your goal to attempt to stop other people from falling for subscriptions? You would be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Canadian trucker protests should have taught the public everything we need to know about how “effective” protests are.
Protests are just a pressure release valve. Incumbent powers know this.
It’s not so much about what hardware you use, but in how it is configured.
Pretty much any system hardening, privacy and anonymity resources will help here.
And with computer literacy on the decline, I wouldn’t be shocked to see in our lifetime a generation of people who conceptually cannot understand a local video file.
I’m so glad I grew up when I did and got to experience video games before they began injecting overt political messaging into games.
The New Yorker launched a redesigned home page in late 2023, having reached a similar conclusion.
Oh boy let’s check it out.
newyorker.com attempts to load js and frames from eight third party domains. Among them;
“conde.digital” – I am assuming that means conde as in conde nast AKA reddit DNA… and we all know what happens to anything reddit touches.
“condenast.digital” above confirmed. I can almost feel the bile welling in my throat.
“cookielaw.org” - probably to serve cookie consent notices to the plebs who fail to block cookies and other trash.
“doubleclick.net” - known malware
“googletagmanager.com” - so that google can keep track of all their cattle.
And yet all of their articles are perfectly readable in plain HTML formatting, as expected. Not that I would ever spend any time reading articles from whatever this place is.
Block both javascript and CSS. Most of those nags are implemented via some combination of the two.

Dystopia is real
Only a few more steps until “Google Government”
What legal ramifications might follow taking such a role and intentionally doing it poorly?
