Interesting, I’ll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn’t, so I’m not totally convinced they are fully redundant.

viking, to piracy in Piracy even when I can get it legally
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Videos from Amazon Prime, Netflix etc., not general videos. I can watch 4k videos in Firefox without any problems, if there’s no rights management in place.

viking, to piracy in Do you donate to FOSS projects?
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

I’ve donated to the Mozilla Foundation, Wikipedia and Hibiscus/Jameica (banking software) in the past, but haven’t in a decade or so.

My friend’s dad has a CNC machine that requires floppy disks to load the design patterns. He’s worried that a mechanical failure of the disk drive will eventually be the end of it, rather than the machine itself being obsolete. It’s been going strong for almost 40 years now.

viking, to piracy in Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

With uBlock Origin I’m not getting anything, but the Ghostery plugin with “adblocking enabled” set to on actually now returns a blank youtube site. As soon as I switch it off (so blocking trackers only) it works perfectly fine and with zero ads.

Sounds illegal where I’m at. Until 18 years old, nobody can be kicked out. Parents have a duty of care.

Yeah. I wonder how many of them are just confused and need help.

Are you sure? I’ve seen a video about this community, but I don’t think it was Tom Scott. Couldn’t find it on his channel.

viking, to mildlyinteresting in Two double-yolks in a row
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

The two yolks together are like 30-50% larger than one regular one, so the nutrition facts are slightly changed since the amount of egg white is reduced.

Since most calories actually come from the yolk, I’d say it should be noticeable to some degree, if you really measure it.

(This answer was brought to you by my wife, who happens to be a nutritionist).

It’s a genetic trait, so if they kept breeding a twin-maker hen for efficiency alone (if you raise chicks, you get 2 for 1 effectively), that could mean that most of their stock are now laying dual yolks.
