Thanks that's helpful. But there are a bunch of other important rewrites needed, like bypassing redirects.
Nah, the Firefox thing just seems to have one or two rules, like remove utm_whatever=something parameters. If you expand that to 10 or 20 rules, some of which are site specific like cleaning ALL the parameters from ebay links and doing some similar rewriting with Amazon links, removing gclid and fclid from everything, retrieving the content of a few of the more common link shorteners and cleaning -that- up, etc., you can get a much less trashy experience with maybe 1 page of code. Adblock already does some of that with its site filtering. You don't get everything, but a little bit goes a long way.
It is pretty lame. I have a far more aggressive one written in python that I use in a shell window. One of these days I want to rewrite it in JS and turn it into a firefox extension.

Where is the tritium supposed to come from?
Everyone uses ffmpeg for this and Handbrake probably uses it also. I do most of my own conversions on a cheap dedicated server so it's not a big deal if it takes a while, but yeah, h265 is slow.

Added: yikes, lots of black hands, many unsavory.
Never heard of it but you might give Lemmy a try.
Wrong community, you wanted lions ate my face.
Wait, FOURTEEN? I thought you were going to say 19 or something like that. Either way just be honest, you're taken, there's too much age difference, and (apparently) she's not your type. She should meet up with someone her own age.
I'm a chess fan. Men-only events were abolished in the 1980s. There are now women's events (no men allowed) and open events (everyone allowed). In practice open events are 90% male, and the male players, especially at the lower levels, tend to fit the smelly and socially inept stereotype. Playing in them can be unpleasant for women, and women's events exist basically to provide playing venues where women can enjoy competitive chess while staying the hell away from us clueless males. As a clueless male myself, I can get behind that, no problem. I understand and I'm fine with it. How do cis women feel about playing alongside trans women? Idk, I'm cis male and I don't feel entitled to spout off about that. But I think they are the ones I'd want to listen to the most.
The top levels from what I can tell aren't as bad as the lower levels, since the effort it takes to reach that level of chess tends to weed out the clueless and lazy. There is still bad stuff though, e.g. the incidents with GM Alejandro Ramirez.
You might like the book Chess Bi tch (that is the title, damn censor bot),by WGM Jennifer Shahade reviewed here , about her experiences in both women's and open chess events coming up through the ranks.
As for FIDE, there currently aren't really alternatives at the top levels. FIDE on the other hand is not much of a factor in lower and mid level chess. Those events tend to be regulated by national and ad hoc federations, etc.
There's tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
Ideally, set up a battery and inverter system in your house, and turn the charging rate up or down depending on what other electric devices you are using at any given moment. Idea is to keep your power consumption exactly the same regardless of what you are doing at home. That way you give no information to the power company.
