The Promenade in Star Trek Deep Space 9 has some businesses you wouldn't expect.

When in production in the 90s I'm guessing staff never assumed this would become public. (A Thread)

#YouTube has started popping this up. Their ads are ridiculously intrusive and I'm not paying Google for YouTube. Please suggest alternative video streaming sites.

Seems like a good time to repost this:

People are annoyed by Youtube ads. Instead of spending too much energy to disable ads, start to upload your videos on Peertube:

Peertube is to Youtube what Mastodon is to Twitter. But better because people don’t need to create an account, they can subscribe to your videos channel directely with their Mastodon account (or other Fediverse tool).

Let’s raise awareness about Peertube:

#Atheist My lack of a god has never made me kill a neighbor. It's never made me bomb, shell or mortar anyone.
I've blamed a lot of things for my shit actions but never my imaginary friend. #FreePalestine #IsraelGazaWar

I'd honestly sooner browse a thousand bad looking HTML pages with auto playing music and terrible animations than spend any more time clicking 'Keep using adblocker' on an AI generated article full of SEO fluff with little to no actual answers

Bring me back to 2000s webpages, I beg thee

So scientists, what the heck? 🤷

Ulrike Hahn @UlrikeHahn has a great post up (https://fediscience.org/@UlrikeHahn/111238708073870930) asking scientists why they think moving to Bluesky is a good idea.

Why would you trade one billionaire's for profit corporate silo for another one, when there's a great open social media platform?

This is a no brainer!

"But with each day, the case for using Twitter grows weaker. I get ten times as many replies and reposts on Mastodon, though my Mastodon follower count is a tenth the size of my (increasingly hypothetical) Twitter audience."

When I tell people children are being slaughtered, and they want to know which children before moving into outrage mode or justification mode - that mentality, that conditional humanity, is exactly the problem.

#TheOnion absolutely knocking their coverage of #IsraelPalestineconflict out of the park, as usual, and skewering the broadsheets in the process: https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-stands-with-israel-because-it-seems-like-yo-1850922505

A satirical comedy site provides better balance than most newspapers. That's the universe we're in. We'll be wearing our shoes on our heads before long.

If you are trying to keep up the breaking news out of Israel on Mastodon, you should definitely be following:

Stop using random anti-adblock fixes you find on the internet, these are almost always out of date and interfere with the actual anti-adblock features in uBlock Origin. YouTube is changing their anti-adblock code multiple times per day.

Simply do the following:
1. Use uBlock Origin and no other adblocker. This includes disabling adblocking in "Enhancer for YouTube", and any built in browser blocker
2. Purge caches and update filters
3. Restart your browser

Brilliant.
