The marketing spend on advert breaks during world cup matches is fascinating.

OpenAI, Meta, Google, Polestar, Safari.

You meet a man on Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh & say its a girls name. He shoots you. You have died of dissin Terry.

I am not suggesting it is hot outside, but on my way into town, some Jawas tried to sell me a protocol droid that speaks bocce and an astromech that looks might it have a faulty motivator.

Made a big mistake at the supermarket joining a queue behind some sand people. Nice crowd, but took ages to pay as the queue was so much longer than expected. They sure do know how to hide their numbers.

This is a new account, so new introduction:

I'm the college student behind #Moshidon, a foss mastodon client for android.

I sometimes post random things, feel free to interact :D

It is very hard to tell if it is so quiet outside today because of the heatwave or because people are getting ready for a late night watching England play a game of association football later.

Romania, and Transylvania in particular, are fantastic places filled with great people, fantastic landscape and world class cuisine.

Would highly recommend!

Me: July is my favourite month.

Them: Why July?

Me: I didn’t. It really is my favourite.

I opened my #mozilla memorabilia box and then jumping at me: stickers from good old times.

It's my work laptop, noone there knows the meaning of this fox. However it's well known among my colleagues that I'm "weird"... I'm aware that the new ones are "warned", by the older ones... I love that and I hope this will help maintain my reputation...

I got caught in traffic on my way home yesterday.

As the farmer thanked me for waiting, he said I’d sleep well 😅.

Looks like Boeing may be dealing with a rapid disassembly of their company-wide IT network. The company has published a notice on its employee emergency page that says they're canceling shifts at various plants and sending home people whose job depends on IT stuff to work.

I sincerely hope this isn't the beginning of another Jaguar Land Rover type incident where production is halted for extended periods.

I added Reddit to my age verification bypass extension!

Age verification is everywhete, so I'm making an add-on for #firefox to bypass age verification on many platforms!

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass/ , source code at https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass

I just added Reddit to the list of supported sites! It can now automatically remove the NSFW log-in popup when viewing NSFW subreddits. (Yes I know we have Lemmy on the fediverse, but I think it can still be useful!)

If you don't have Firefox, or want a more private experience, you can also use a front-end like redlib at https://redlib.catsarch.com to avoid communicating with Reddit entirely, and you don't even need my extension on that one!

(Video shows off the concept but doesn't show any actual nsfw contents)

@_elena Only slightly related, but to make it easier to redact parts of screenshots, I once wrote this extension that might be helpful: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/obfuscator/
