@matrix @alyx I decided to take a vacation to Las Vegas next month, and was having problems buying tickets to shows using Firefox, it just didn't work even with tracking protection and all the pro-privacy addons turned off. Wound up having to use MS Edge to buy the tickets.

Never been to Vegas before, but two people warned me that everything is super expensive there, including $8 for a bottle of water. But I'd like to enjoy it once in my life (have been to Reno before but not Vegas), hopefully I won't spend too much money.

@redneonglow @matrix @alyx looking for fulfillment?

@Nepiant @alyx @matrix I just want to have some fun. When you live in the woods there's nothing to do, so I like to have fun every now and then.

@redneonglow @Nepiant @alyx @matrix yeah, it's like the music says

@Suzu @redneonglow @alyx @matrix if you remove just the 'https://' from your youtube link when you post it, varis won't convert it into a invidious link and you'll be able to access the youtube video just by clicking on it.

@Nepiant @alyx @matrix @redneonglow yeah, I was wondering how to do it.
And I was actually going to ask Halo what's the point of Varish converting the youtube links to the invidious instance if the invidious instance hasn't been working for years now.

@Suzu @Nepiant @alyx @matrix @redneonglow cuz Halo is a silly willy and we must bully our benevolent overlord with a cascade of lewd Uma's to do what we want

@redneonglow @Nepiant @alyx @matrix do what I do, set shit on fire...oh wait I do that cuz I'm crazy and a pyromaniac. Nevermind.

@redneonglow @alyx @matrix the main things you need to worry about are scammers and pick pockets. everyone will really try to get money out of you in any way possible. just don't talk to anyone or entertain any conversation, focus on the mission.

@matrix I'm sure there's plenty of reasons for it. Me personally, I simply can't use Firefox because I absolutely hate how it renders fonts. I've tried every way imaginable to teak settings, but to me they just feel thick and blurry. With Chromium browsers by contrast, I get thin, crisp sharp lines.

@alyx @matrix and b4 you say it, no ads because ublock lite on optimal mode just works like ublock origin did

@mischievoustomato @matrix
I'm on Vivaldi, and ublock origin still works for now. I'm guessing they'll turn off support for Manifest V2 eventually, but it actually has its own integrated ad blocker too. So I'm sure I'll be fine, whatever might happen.
