This is just a return to form, there was a century when alternatives to wage slavery were thinkable and they've successfully stomped those concepts out.

I read the article now and it sounds like it is just impacting chrome, and like, yeah don't use chrome you dinguses Google is actively trying to kill all adblock functionality in it with their v3 manifest bullshit. Toughen up, put on your sharpest pocketed T-shirt and suspenders, put some sandals over your socks, and switch to Firefox.

Given that people actually have to pay for electricity, intentionally spiking CPU usage is straight up theft no matter how small the ultimate cost to the end user. Not to mention the reckless waste of resources from consuming extra energy just to piss off people who don't want to watch your ads.

Taking this argument to a lawyer to see if we can take it further and start suing game devs for refusing to optimize their files and requiring 150gb downloads for their games on Steam which is theft of both my free data before hitting my ISP's datacap and theft of my SSD space which I paid for!!1!

The phone apps aren't very accurate, you can check the VR threads for the best ways to do this but you can order a cheap tool off amazon to get a more accurate measurement.

Like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Ezyaid-Ruler-Instruction-Manual-Prescription/dp/B099FDQQ8H

I think the VR thread also has some instructions on doing it yourself with a paper and a ruler as well.

Zenni has one you can print & use; I did (with the help of a friend) and it was fine.

But it's lol that now the optical places are hip to the pupillary-distance thing & won't provide it gratis. Once place said it'd be an extra $50 and another said (over the phone, when I made the dr. appt.) they'd provide it but wouldn't do it once they knew I was buying online instead of paying them hundreds of dollars.

Finally got to the part in the Dan Olsen video about the cleanup section of the documentary. He outlines exactly why that whole section is so reductive of what's actually going on, criticizing it for just being "Look how pretty the trees are", while also pointing out that cleanup probably won't happen at similar sites in less developed nations going forward. Peak liberalism from the doc.

If capitalists look at me and say I don't deserve to exist, I say right back at them. In fact I am even more deserving of existence than a lot of the people saying I don't because I'm not the one ruining the average working class person's ability to provide for themselves and their families.
