    Sometimes the conspiracy theorists pop out of their echo chamber and make a statement that seems reasonable and widely accepted to them but can only be believed if you first believe 17 layers of propaganda, leaps of logic and generally brainrot. Usually all fed to them by bigots and billionaires.

    They are then surprised by normal people clowning on them and instead of reflecting, they just tell themselves they know something the normies don’t and that makes them special.











  • If you are speaking about the UK’s Labour party, in it’s current form I would describe it as further left than the US democrats, but further right than the actual left wing parties like the Greens, Your Party and Bernie Sanders (and any other tiny socialist groups).

    To me, that means center-right generally. Fully right on certain issues such as immigrants and trans rights.

    Before Kier Starmer and Labour Together, I think they were center-left. Many people within the party are still trying to do good things and vote against Labour’s worst policies.

    The reason I hate Labour even more than the Conservatives is at least with the Conservatives you knew what you were getting. Here it feels like betrayal.








  • I’ve gone through the list a bit and out of the most popular ones that spied on you, most were adblocks, coupon finders or AI Chatbots.

    Some notable extensions:

    • Stylish. A theming extension, I used to use this back in the day!
    • Smarty. Some sort of coupon code thing like Honey
    • Video Ad Blocker Plus for YouTube™
    • Video Downloader PLUS
    • Karma - Another coupon thing
    • Audio editor online Audacity. Some sort of web-based Audacity clone?
    • GIMP online - Same sort of thing as above with GIMP
    • Ground News Bias Checker - To be fair it probably makes sense this one sends the URL you are visiting, as it’s purpose is to look up the bias of the publication you are looking at.

    Worth a read regardless.



  • The point is that I’ve seen several comments on other posts about this vulnerability, and in the body of this one, saying that Notepad is bloated and terrible now.

    I’m offering a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It’s debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature, but it can be a useful feature.

    I’m fine with Markdown support, but I wish MS got the message about Copilot being unwanted. Not sure if they’ve added it to Notepad or not at this stage, but given all the places they’ve crammed it into I wouldn’t be surprised.
