Nowadays I’m even starting to find it annoying on a browser with adblock, but without NoScript ! Quite a bit of nonsense disappears when you take the few seconds to only enable the scripts a page actually needs

Also, YouTube specifically is a horrible experience without an extension like UnTrap to turn like 75% of the buttons off.

We really need to teach everyone to use ad blockers. Ads have not existed on “my” internet since the 2000s…

We are not in a simulation. A particle is only able to hold exactly as much information as is necessary to describe it, and hence is irreducible.

Any incomplete simulation, even to a tiny degree, leads to wildly inconsistent, and eventually incoherent conclusions.

Either our universe is a simplified, and thus unreliable, simulation, destroying any long term usefulness to would-be simulators ; or it is simply not a simulation at all.

I wish ! On my computer I have to re-pair every single time. Reconnect always fails with a “failed to create socket” error, and I cannot find anything online on how to fix it.

This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.
