Project Almanac

Zeroc00l, in What is your favorite time travel movie or show?

Tv show: Tripped a great watch, low-ish budget but very well done. Starts off as kind of a stoner comedy but gets way deeper, while still being fun. Also it’s more of a dimension travel show rather than time travel.

Movie: Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel probably my favourite time travel movie, heaps of fun and the actors & story are great.

Movie: Primer a pretty smart movie, I think the directors (who also starred) were scientists so the story is quite grounded in how time travel would (likely) work out.

Movie: Time Lapse a gripping movie about a camera that can show the future, mostly filmed in one house. A good watch.

Pregnenolone, in What are some uBlock Origin filters you're using to make the internet nicer to use?

Pretty sure RPAN has been gone for a few months now

otter,

Good to know, I don’t think I’ve ever really seen it

Huhni, in What are some uBlock Origin filters you're using to make the internet nicer to use?

Check out the uBlock Wiki! uBlock can do so much more than just block elements or network requests, you can use scriptlets to get rid of so many annoyances or the https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#subjectstylearg operator to make sites look better and cleaner, without having to add a whole userscript manager. And if you auto delete cookies/localstorage for privacy reasons like me, you can still keep some individual site settings with the trusted-set-cookie or trusted-set-local-storage-item scriptlets. Also the :has-text() selector is really useful to filter out some annoying keywords in social media posts, it even supports regex!

sentient_loom, in how similar are other North American countries to USA??
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

I assume that Canada and the USA are more similar to each other than either one is to Mexico. We speak mostly English and we are rich countries. Although some differences will depend on latitude.

As a Canadian I grew up on Americam culture. We are very much sibling countries. They are one big culture together. I know very little about Mexico.

kent_eh,

A little too similar in some cases.

It seems that we are importing the worst examples of American politics and capitalism into Canada.

I just hope we don’t import privatized healthcare.

kent_eh,

I hope there would be rioting in the streets if some government tried to straight up kill our public health care system.

Unfortunately, it’s currently showing the strain of being attacked by a thousand cuts.

llamapants,

I take it you’re not from Ontario? Cause Dough Ford is trying to do exactly that

Assassin 33 A.D: Black Easter.

It’s a Christian time travel movie where terrorists go back in time to murder Jesus before he can be crucified (therefore preventing Christianity from ever existing) and an atheist skeptic scientist has to go back in time to rescue Jesus, and also rescue his own faith.

The movie is crazy and I love it.

Having never heard of Black Easter, I wrote a brief synopsis, supposing the three magi were Herod’s assassins.

It’s no more far-fetched then current extrapolations regarding the Magi.

BreadOven,

Know what I’m watching on the next movie night.

I use AdGuard’s premium apps but these should work just fine in browser based adblockers:

If you use Twitter still, this blocks the sidebar on the right that shows whats Trending when you're on your main timeline.

I have a couple that I found for youtube that block the cards on top of videos, and the little info things in the corners.

Cavemanfreak,

Was looking for this! I think a lot of people have missed this one because it’s in spanish, but it’s really good!

AudaCity, in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Printer Ink for my weird tiny printer. It isn’t available in most stores any more and I have to order it online

deweydecibel, (edited ) in What are some uBlock Origin filters you're using to make the internet nicer to use?

Mine are all super specific to sites I use and various elements of them I hate.

Just little things that I don’t want to see. “Score” gets blocked on Reddit. Don’t have a problem with the voting, but the numbers are just distracting to me.

For a similar example, I tend to go out of my way to create filters that block random visual ratings for media. Like when you search for a movie and get the IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes scores without having asked for them.

Not that I have a problem with ratings in general, it’s that they’re effectively opinions, and when I want to hear opinions on media, I’ll go look for them. I really don’t like looking up something about a show or movie I enjoy and see a giant visual indicator “HEY PEOPLE HATE THIS”, or vise versa. Or you’re just going to OpenSubtitles or a meta data site to get something and have to be reminded how the internet feels about this thing.

One odd stand out is Sonarr/Radarr. I can’t create a filter for those search results, because they’re not elements on the page apparently, and there’s no setting to turn it off.
