Continuing with #gaming because this came up at work: a coworker insinuated that women over 40 don't really game. So this #poll is for #women over 40 only (all women, we don't do terf garbage here).
Do you game?

@shippychaos yes, to some extend. I seem to pick up scents far earlier than people around me. Can relate to the hallway thing. weird, right?
sometimes, something smells just too strong (e.g. cold coffee) I want to 🤢and don't even mention cold smoke

@shippychaos i listend to it a while ago. It was a nice audiobook, a lighthearted, emotional, slow-paced story with lovable characters 😊

Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin #uBO will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .

#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

Chrome Manifest V3 Transition Timeline (2023-11-16)

EDIT for clarification: MV3 in Chrome will still allow some ad blocking extensions, but will severely limit their blocking ability and even restricts pre-set filters to 50 MAX.

“I can't believe you're still hiding at home; the zombie apocalypse has been over for a while now!” says the lady into her cellphone.

She switches it to her other hand, batting away a diner from the next table over, who is trying to chew on her arm.

“Really, you're just being paranoid. We've all–ow!!–got our shots, what else are we supposed to do?”

She huffs, hangs up, and flags down the server to ask what's holding up her order of fried brains.

What is wrong with the internet the last couple of days? Almost all websites are painfully slow, no matter what browser, laptop or phone. Everything takes so much longer to load and even while on the phone with support, their systems are slow, too.

I just want to get my work done and not wait forever for a site to load and then get kicked out halfway through ... 🙄

#internet

People who like all music genres are polyjamorous.

death to all websites that display 50000 different in-page pop-ups just to be annoying as fuck

I've shared the link before but I'll do it again after finishing it last night.

I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this fantasy tale by my friend @soulfel

Each scene is so rich in detail, it feels like you're standing right there next to them, watching in awe how the story unravels.

Even if you're usually not into fantasy, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

ugh, gotta get dressed dressed and leave the cozy office at home to go to the real office. being an adult is so hard and unfair...

@soulfel oh no! so sorry for you. hope the tea helps and you're well soon!

If you've missed it last night, here's a reminder that @soulfel 's #SQSN story finally got revealed 🥳

I'm only at chapter 3 but it's SO good. Dark and gloomy, just perfect for early autumn.
