It's a specific company that creates a cookie consent manager that way, and a lot of websites use it. The progress bar is entirely faked; you're being made to wait for nothing.

Please, stop being stupid

The one I used to hear was waking up in a tub of ice without one or both kidneys

All of the senior positions are now listed as Clippy. I have a bad feeling about this...

My previous ISP once called me to tell me that i couldn't reach the speed of my current plan from my house, and offered me to take a cheaper package without reducing my speed.

My current ISP sent me a mail at the beginning of this year informing me they were quadrupling my speed at no extra charge. And they did, I went from 50 up/down to 200.

Slovenia, and they're not that poor.

They'll happily sit on the existing art and endlessly regurgitate it

The Dev tools in Firefox (and probably other browsers) can do this, too. Not just curl, also fetch and other formats

No-one's taking it harder than Florida woman, let me tell you

The clever part is that there is no paper trail: the printer hadn't been paid. 🤓

People who care about writers?

Which drugs, out of curiosity?

Don't listen to this guy, go see a doctor. It's probably nothing, but only a doctor can help you get diagnosed.

I can't speak to all hospitals, but I once came in to drop off flowers and they put scrubs on me and gave me two extra sets to use at home, as well as a boxset of the first season of Scrubs.

Https://qwant.com , a french privacy first search engine that has alright search results but great privacy control

Your ISP will still have a log of which IP was assigned to you at any date and time

I use something like this for my wireless doorbell because people kept stealing the battery. I've had it for years and it works really well.

100 hundred is 10,000

If i had a nickel for every time this happened to me in KBS...

I don't have a single favourite. I like coding for retro computers, doing cross stitch, drawing, playing guitar, gaming and electronics.

Why do you not have laws against this kind of shit? There's no way a company can do that to you here without explicit permission.

Most of the good ones are either invite only or pay for, and even then you'll only get access to some of the keys needed.

None of the free ones provide keys as far as I've been able to find.

It seems rather messy and convoluted compared to how usenet used to be.

I much prefer the links browser over lynx nowadays http://links.twibright.com/

Ublock origin Ghostery Containers (so darn useful) Tampermonkey if you know JavaScript, little tweaks can make some sites much more usable

Custom Context search (forgot the actual name of it and I'm on mobile now). It allows you to add custom searches to your right click, so if you select text and right click, you can search for it on any site with search functionality.

Private Browsing, at your service 🫡

I was able to bypass that by logging into YouTube without a phone number, and then going to Google accounts. Not sure if that still works.

What indexer?

If you've ever been to Marseille, Paris or Rotterdam, you'd know that is categorically incorrect.

I personally live in an area with a higher Muslim population, but nobody here wants Sharia Law. Nor to take over any towns.

You should be less gullible about places you've never been to, and things you know little about.

How do you find good things on Usenet now? So much of it is uploaded encrypted

I call them Horders

Unless you use mdiscs. Those still degrade, but it'll take centuries.

Voting with your wallet doesn't work. Nobody will call you to ask why you didn't buy a product, and marketing will just come up with a bogus reason on why sales are poor.

Talking about it on social media helps a lot more.

If wilders is your source then it's no wonder you're so ill informed.

What do you think happens in these cities after 7pm?

All the Muslims come out and start plotting to take over?

The Muslim Sharia police start their rounds?

Or you get harassed by gangs of terrorists?

Stop being stupid.

I believe they are correct, but I'm not cheering for it. It's terrifying.
