I'd agree with you if the question was "Men of lemmy, what would you do if you woke up female for one day". But that wasn't the question. As it stands the question could just as easily mean that one day they wake up female and then are female for the rest of their lives. It's ambiguous, but personally I did not interpret the question as for only a single day.

towing the company line

Just an FYI, it's toeing in the idiom, not towing. Thought you might want to know.

What's even worse than "Alot" is "Allot" when they mean "a lot".

Yeah, there are tons of these.

Till is actually a word that predates until.

Many assume that till is an abbreviated form of until. Actually, it is a distinctive word that existed in English at least a century before until, both as a preposition meaning “to” and a conjunction meaning “until.” It has seen continuous use in English since the 12th century and is a perfectly legitimate synonym of until.

Or how about all the words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations.

  • Invalid - The data is invalid.
  • Invalid - The old man is an invalid.
  • Content - I'm content with my lot in life.
  • Content - The website's content is full of ads.

etc.

The only issue I have with freetube is that I sometimes like to click on the recommended videos on YouTube's front page. If I switch to freetube entirely, I'll lose that. But if uBlock doesn't continue to work I will make the switch and the YouTubers I wouldn't normally see just won't get my views any longer.

Probably just lucky. They didn't roll it out to all Firefox users at once. I got it several days after other Firefox users started reporting getting the popup. I followed the instructions to update my quick fix list in uBlock and it's gone again. However, the first time I did it it came back after a day, so it may just be a never ending game of whack a mole.

Yeah, I just commented to another user about the same things. Seems they're doing some A/B testing or something like it. No worries, I understand uBlock has an update available that addresses it already.

There’s no test group

They are almost certainly talking about a test group on YouTube, not uBlock Origin. Sites do that sometimes, it's called A/B Testing. Where different users will get different versions of the site to test something or other before changes are rolled out for all users.

Seems to still be working for me. At least I haven't encountered any notices yet.

That's not true these days. You can try it yourself right in your browser's dev console.

These results are from Firefox's console.

0 == null == undefined
> false
0 == null
> false
0 == undefined
> false
null == undefined
> true
null === undefined
> false

And even in the one case where == says they are the same, you can fix that by making sure you are using === so that it doesn't do type coercion for the comparison.
