uBLock Origin seems to work well enough for me

Maybe hire better protection partners?

Damage control from the PR team shouldn’t be allowed to fix this. Publicly name the “protection partner,” publicly end their contract, apologize, and develop a transparency plan going forward.

Sounds like Spaz is about to have another Numbnuts Moment.

I’d feel worse if they didn’t so richly deserve it.

For once, I hope Verizon wins

I admit that I have all alerts deactivated for the simple reason that our local agencies can’t seem to use SAME codes and I get tired of waking in the middle of the night for a thunderstorm three counties over.

This is fucking terrifying. How do we find the membership list and shine a light on them? And how do we make sure politicians know that we disapprove of the company they keep?

Good to know. Thanks!

It would also be nice if there were a way to use them anonymously. ChatGPT seems to allow this, but I’m not entirely comfortable with OpenAI.

The Cask of Amontillado?

So there isn’t actually a problem with GIMP.
