@Dave , darn that is weird. Uninstall, reinstall?
Waterfox? (running out of ideas).
(pi-hole instead of ublock)
When you stop hardware acceleration you have to quit the browser and open it again for it to be effective. Also:

@Dave , my guess was cache related, though being the same under other circumstances I’d check the hardware related stuff -
hw acceleration and drivers.

@Fizz @Davriellelouna, if you’re killing someone you shouldn’t be able to enjoy the comforts of home while the ripples of your action devastate the lives of those around the deceased, imho the sentence should have your judgement as follow on once released.
@absGeekNZ, a good start is targeting the biggest polluters though, isn’t it?
@Dave @absGeekNZ, loss of profits are unfortunately still the best motivator in a world running on old-fashioned, exploitative (on every level) capitalism.
@Dave, ah yes, unfortunately not many governments are a representation of their people anymore and even fewer are interested in acting for their benefits.
@Dave, my point was that these arbitrators are already known and it can be more effective telling people who to boycott than launching rockets for a ‘showy’
finger point and tell.
Most if not all of these companies give a flying duck for those trying to hold them accountable.
@Dave @absGeekNZ, shouldn’t we also consider whether it’s necessary to pollute to find out more about pollution?
If successful and we confirm what we already know, how much will this contribute to effective change?
Is this the best use of $ for its cause?
@Davriellelouna, the destructiveness of this government follows more and more the Musk - Trump idiocy.
@Jimmycakes @Davriellelouna, haha, nor the government.
@BalpeenHammer, I’m a control freak, haha, not really.
I’ve, from early age, loved pulling things apart and figuring out what makes them work and found hands deserved to be a tool worth for more than just ten finger typewriting, etc.
These days we’re often ending up in the ‘monetary scraping by/time poor’
box and so rely on others in their fields of (greater/lesser) expertise…
@BalpeenHammer, Trade Checka, Builders Check, looking at jobs done, word of mouth…
I do a lot of stuff I need done myself so my dependence on others is low.
@BalpeenHammer, I guess that’s where the ‘buyer beware’ comes in.
I do background checks or recommendations from people I know. I think you still can be unlucky as times. I like to trust people but I verify as good as I can, especially when big sums are involved.
@BalpeenHammer @quoll , not the ones that I know.
I think the bigger problem already might be that the ‘pied Pipers’ of industry make to many offers that can’t be refused (otherwise how can people that not that long ago gave one opinion now claim the opposite,
I mean, are they nut jobs pretending to be normal or just haven’t they got enough backbone to stand against orders from the top, or the money is too good - both I guess).
@Dave @TagMeInSkipIGotThis , I’m wondering about the legality of that as well plus I would tell them that I boycott them because of it.
As for surcharges, imho they’re a blatant rip off, any business surely has all their costs already calculated into the price of their wares.
@BlueEther @shellieg , could be a mast year - be a good start to know what causes it.
@GGNZ , Cinnamobus for a new name?
Anything more catchy?
@Viper_NZ @Ilovethebomb , thinking about it: Shouldn’t the country responsible for its sinking pay for the cleanup?
Or like with capitalism, are profits privatized and costs socialized?
Ie is the damage done by war faring countries forgotten and is there no accountability?
@stellargmite @MightyCuriosity , that’s the cool thing about Mastodon, most pics have an alt txt, not just for visually impaired users but to add clarity and info.
@Dave @mjsaber , regarding electronics, be aware that anything connected to the grid needs to be 240V AC.
