more likely he thought 'video nasty' was slang for porn (unless of course it was a joke)

uBlock Origin dev recently said the issue is specifically Adblock Plus 3.22 and AdBlock 5.17

Further down that thread he also calls this Tom's Hardware article a failure to properly investigate and inform people

Not saying it doesn't happen but I've seen this said a few times now, and have never heard of anyone who actually refuses to clean their arse. Have I just lived a sheltered life or what?

Honestly expected to roll my eyes at the article (especially as it's from the times) but this looks like a great initiative and Kariem El-Boghdadly who designed it, from an admittedly brief search for him, seems to know his onions. Not bad at all

I semi remember an interview with the guy from nickelback who said (obviously paraphrasing) that he studied the songs that reached number one in the rock chart, and noted that, ok they have this tempo, they have a key change here, etc etc, and set out to make a song that had those qualities. very successfully as it turned out.

there's the same sort of essential cynicism (and subsequent success) with the oatmeal

I agree with the point but it is kind of funny to see the oatmeal, the nickelback of comics, complaining about it

Starfield was 60 pretty ok hours on game pass, I personally have nothing against it, don't care about it much. But those who actually give a shit about The Game Awards: why? Slim list of nominees, several categories total bollocks anyway, judges vote worth 90% against 10% crumbs to the public vote ( see 'how are winners selected' https://thegameawards.com/faq )

Trying to make an “everything app” with him in charge just feels dystopian.

Trying to make an “everything app” at all, whoever is in charge, is dystopian. Given the conspiracy theorists' general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it's a wonder he isn't pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him instead. Maybe he is and I just haven't kept up

In the USA maybe. In the UK it was a 90s sitcom
