That looking up in the second frame is perfection.

Others have mentioned what Firefox/etc do, but another option is a PiHole. If you can’t look up the IP for an advertiser URL, you don’t load the JavaScript to begin with.
- Comment on How was your valentines day weekend? 3 days ago:
What? No to communication? Yes to just bail? Thanks for bringing the Reddit vibe.
Your situation sounds great, it is in fact similar to mine. But guess what, it’s not unique, and your relationship is not better than comment OPs because you and your partner are on the same page on holidays and presents. No one is talking about changing a person, we talk about changing behavior.
They could be compatible in a thousand different ways except this one, you have no idea. And if you think your relationship is perfect without communication around the things that aren’t, then either that relationship is new, or your partner isn’t being honest with you.

Never take advice from internet strangers. But it nonetheless will be given, so here goes.
Tell your partner your relationship will not last without change, and that you want to have small, short conversations with takeaway actions more regularly. My guess is that’s the truth, and communication, even a little, can help tremendously when both parties engage.
Saying your relationship will fail and end bluntly will make them scared of that actually happening, because they most likely currently feel secure enough in the relationship to ignore your needs. This is common unfortunately, often born of time and repetitiveness.
Make sure they ubderstand that conversation doesn’t have to he daunting (that will scare then), but simple and easy single topics at a time. The first few may be longer, but they will get shorter, and tell them that you are open to talking to someone together if they feel it is warranted or have trouble having those conversations on their own (that alone may spur them to engage).
Peppering in positive commentary or actions, like what you enjoy from them (especially what they do for you) and positive actions (like planning a weekend away or a night out) can also help take the strain out of the conversations, too.
Sorry you are going through this, mental and/or emotional dissatisfaction in a relationship is rough, but assuming you really want to work through it, it is possible to get brick walls to move.

Filtering Youtube by 12+ years ago is a wild ride.

I did just set up Touch UI as a plugin on Octoprint. It’s ugly, but it works.

I never realized Lemmy supported alt tags for this. Time for a Thunder Issue/PR.
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 5 days ago:
Then they don’t want to be here. Part of the reason this community is so great is because it’s fueled by those who actively want to participate in a place like this. It doesn’t have to be a place for everyone to be the best place for those here.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 5 days ago:
Thunder. I like being able to customize, and it has just about everything.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 5 days ago:
I was a Sync user on Reddit. Thunder has reproduced that feel for me here. The one place it didn’t I contributed (2-column tablet mode)
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 6 days ago:
Easier
If choosing a server and signing up is too “hard” for someone, then I’d rather they stay on Reddit.
Can Lemmy benefit from your suggestions, definitely. But the easy vs hard structure to these types of conversations feel a lot like the shopping cart dilemma.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 6 days ago:
Good.
- Comment on OctoApp, but not from the Play Store? 1 week ago:
Not with PiHole 😉
- Comment on OctoApp, but not from the Play Store? 1 week ago:
Is apkmirror a safe source? They’re only supported in Track Only mode on Obtainium.
- Comment on OctoApp, but not from the Play Store? 1 week ago:
Yea but I wouldn’t want to rebuild to keep up with updates.
- Comment on OctoApp, but not from the Play Store? 1 week ago:
Yea that’s a good idea since I’m already using Obtainium.

Yea other commenters don’t seem to be making that “top” connection. This project is fantastic, thanks!

This is for the feed. OPs project is for “top”, leveraging the up vote alg.
- Comment on In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico 1 week ago:
The maintainers were doing a good job reverting contributions for a while. Here’s a good example: community.openstreetmap.org/t/…/16
They follow names assigned by unstats.un.org/unsd/ungegn/, and use the labels like
en_USfor official single-country names. While I would much prefer it remain analt_name, I understand their rational. Ugh. - Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 1 week ago:
Is this a Thinkpad? And of so, is the BIOS s3 on “Linux” or “Windows and Linux”?
Also are you running Wayland? If so ot might be worth trying to log in with Xorg instead (bottom right when logging in).
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 1 week ago:
Oops, just me misreading.
- Comment on Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery 1 week ago:
Glad that worked out for you 😉 What is Gnome doing exactly?
What kind of issues, and which trackpad driver?
- Comment on Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps 1 week ago:
Add it to OSM?
- Comment on If you're on the fence about building or buying a 3d printer enclosure, please let me give you a push. 1 week ago:
And please, don’t print right next to where you sit all day. Proper ventilation and/or filtering is important, even for safer materials like PLA.

Time for a repeat comment: Organic Maps does everything Google Maps does (except traffic conditions), and is FOSS. Please encourage places to contribute business information to Open Street Maps.

Custom flashes are probably more likely given the system integration of the head unit. UBlock for your car. How crazy is that?
