They didn't even use pictures of the cases, they just write about gardening with a picture of proper gardening tools.

Most foreboding quote 2024.

So it appears, though I'm unsure whether it auto-accepts required cookies, those that have no opt-out option. If it's banners, and not walls, then UBlock blocks the banner and thereby doesn't give permission to store any kind of cookies, including the required ones. Kinda as if you browse the site without ever interacting with the banner.

Sadly, both need to trust that the site actually follows the rules and respects the selected/unselected cookies.

EDIT: Scrap all that, most sites don't respect cookies settings either way, might just get either of the above and Cookie Auto Delete or something similar.

You are right, please excuse me.

Filters out as in hides it from you?

Ublock origin is very good at getting rid of cookie banners, though you have to enable it in settings, not sure about pay walls.

For those wondering how to exceed the 70 (80) recommended character limit and still follow best practices:

  1. Write the title on the first line, keep below 70 characters.
  2. Make two (2) newlines
  3. Write one or more descriptive paragraphs.

The first line will be shown as commit message, and the full text can usually be viewed by checking out the commit. Sentences can span multiple lines, but try to keep the line length below 70 characters for best readability.

This off the top of my head, so feel free to correct me if I've misremembered the best practices.

We just had a "once every 100-years" storm surge last fall. Many islands in the southern Danish archipelago were not properly prepared and saw their dikes flood (including my birthplace, and yes, I know others have so much worse conditions, but we are/were rather well protected here in the Baltic sea). There was some damage, not least to some endangered species habitats that the Copenhagen zoo was keeping, and many islands will have to seek an exception with the cultural preserverance agency to be allowed to repair their dikes.

On the bright side, the flood has seen to the fire and flood equipment being checked, meaning that we now have proper portable flood pumps. Even though they at first sent pumps too large to be loaded onto the ferry. Derp. :)

Hopefully this will not repeat for another 100 years, but many of us islanders are not so sure with global warming, so we might have to evacuate and give up the smaller islands within my lifetime if such floods become a common occurance.

And of course we could just replace our 200+ year old dirt and stone dikes and less old water locks with modern concrete and steel dikes, but I think we'll have a hard time convincing the state to put in the required resources for a <10 people community. Even Ærø, one of the larger islands with a population of ~6000, has had problems with dike maintenance.

I guess my advice would be the normal stuff: keep some bottled water and long term food that can be eaten cold, keep a battery bank for your phone, blankets and a bucket, know how to get to your rooftop when in the attic (will hopefully never be necessary in the baltic sea), have a good pair of waders and a good flashlight. And of course, know how to quickly contact any other inhabitants in your local area if necessary.

I have no clue why you had to include an image, but it appears you broke rule 6 in doing so.

I haven't owned many tablets so far, but can't you get some tablets with SIM-slots? What would prevent one from just using such a tablet as a phone?

I guess it's very effective if you want to rile up the "uneducated masses" but loose respect from everybody else.

Whatever works best for them.

So, in short:

  • Google is not killing ad blockers, but merely chopping off both legs and arms in the name of security.
  • ublock Origin is implementing a lite version for chromium browsers, supposedly being pretty decent given the circumstances.
  • Old Manifest V2 extensions will be disabled in June 2024 and Manifest V2 will be removed in June 2025.
  • Firefox is Firefox.
  • Privacy and security focused chromium based browsers will have to implement proper native ad blocking.

Unless you meant that all conservatists gladly convert to socialist views once confronted with true information.

That one word changes the meaning of the meme drastically. ;)

As far as I have heard, "activeness" is measured by whether a user posted a comment/post the past month, so lurkers/voters are not being counted. This does likely skew the numbers quite a bit.

EDIT: Found this nice answer from ~5 months ago. Yup, it appears to only count post+comment and leaves out voters and lurkers. :(
