That's correct. uBlock Plus' Github says he won't accept donations but give instead to the unsung heroes maintaining the lists on which his software depends.

Chad uBlock Plus dev doesn't even want our money.

It's so sad these elections are no longer about what policies each candidate promises to apply if elected but about attacking the other candidate.

But the Democrats have to play by the current rules. Taking the moral high ground on the campaign trail was not going to get them elected. One can argue that the moral obligation is not to let Trump and his cronies win so that more reasonable policies can be put in place.

The challenge is that videos will have a varying amount or type of ads based on the client's country/demographic and simply on the timing of ad campaigns.

Not baking-in ads was the advantage of Youtube and other streaming platforms over the likes of traditional TV. That's why they were client-side in the first place. I wonder how much the extra effort, bandwidth, and processing will cost Youtube to achieve server-side ads. Would be funny if it simply ended up being too expensive for them.

The kinds of things they do and the places they go in thongs in South-East Asia. It's humbling.

Sandals and flip flops are very different things for walking.

There are awesome hiking sandals that provide excellent support, grip, and all. But flip flops? Oof.

I've had the misadventure of having to do a small jungle trek with flip flops (my super duper fancy hiking shoes were soaking wet). I managed but it wasn't ideal. The Australian rainforest is not exactly flip flop friendly.

The sad truth is no US president can go against the Israeli lobby unless some major changes are made.

But I agree with you, Trump would have happily and loudly complied with Bibi's Government.

How inconsiderate of you, think of the billionaires who would suffer!

It's only professional ethics to bring whatever bug you have and share it with colleagues.

Sharing is caring.

Here I was thinking it was a mistake for the Dems to have pushed Biden this far into the year.

It was certainly not on purpose, but it became a trap for the Reps. They played the Ad hominem card hard and it's blowing up on their face. And it doesn't help most of their attacks on Biden can now only be directed toward Trump.

How dare our leaders have empathy towards others?

Only the most ruthless, puppie-murdering sociopaths are fit to rule. And the more narcissist they are, the more I trust them.

Exactly, and there again the quality beats the quantity.

Playing a niche old game with old buddies beats high digit player counts with randoms.

The French using a foreign language? Ha!

Joke aside no, and I'm a native French speaker living in a French speaking region.

They just put money into giving him good PR.

I don't give a damn he found a nice hobby, the World is still attempting to fix the damage he caused.

But in French "W" is often abbreviated to "V". Like BMW --> Beh Ehm Veh (often shortened even further to "Beh Ehm").

So WWW would be "veh veh veh".

In any case "World Wide Web" is quite the mouthful for the average French speaker.

He's all kumbaya, unity, defender of democracy, and holding hands now.

What do you mean you don't trust a duplicitous billionaire politician?

He's only 2 years younger than Biden and has changed somewhat since getting shot at. Even a cold bastard like him must be handling trauma after that close call.

Because the Republicans would have fared better?

Trump was pretty clear in siding with Israel. At least Biden does it begrugedly so.

That was my point, these hand-picked examples didn't end up as hellholes. That said, it wasn't always smooth, lots of blood in SK's hand. I was playing devil's advocate.

In any case, the USA is not in the desperate situation these countries were in.

Exactly, like all religions anybody can dig into the texts and find a justification for their personal and political views but the Jesus I was brought up with, while I don't believe he existed, had some pretty decent key points (forgiveness, love, sharing, empathy, charity...). These contrast strongly with the judgemental, conservative, nationalist, racist "Christians".

They would probably have hung this "rebellious, commie jew" themselves today if their much-awaited second coming had taken place.
