    You should definitely use the version in the bundle. I run into problems with brave shields all the time, but the bundled ubo works great

    Did you install uBO through the chrome app store, or is it the bundled uBO that comes with brave? It has a special set of like 6 MV2 extensions that it bundles in and supports, with uBO being one of them. I haven't heard any news of them removing support for this, so it should be supported for a while to come still.

    Try going to the following:

    1.Settings page

    1. Extensions

    2. Manifest V2 extensions

    3. Then enable uBO

    Or try going to brave://settings/extensions/v2 and enabling uBO there.

    A nice continuation to my last post. In this video, a full time YouTuber bullies a part time YouTuber until he resigns from his job.

    Just a general decent video about how Britain does (or doesn't) deal with zoning, and learn about the division of responsibilities between layers of government.

    Highly recommend watching till the end (13:00) for a cameo appearance from a very topical small youtuber with 51k subs.

    Brave is a perfectly ok chrome replacement, there's even native buttons to enable ublock origin. Sure you gotta disable some features, but which browser doesn't?

    Just try to blink that led, and maybe you'll end up doing much more. And if you only end up getting that done, so be it. Have small achievable goals to start (test out a resistor) and over time it'll hopefully become a habit

    This is interesting. I can see it being used as like a tamper proof seal. For example if you have seafood, you can make it turn blue if it ever goes above 0C.

    Taxes as well, but got an extension so it's an October problem now :P I've finally stopped procrastinating on cooking at home again and excited for that. Saves the wallet and saves the health.

    If all software is made completely automatically, imagine the efficiency gains you'd get from... Everything. Even if we don't have the same relative status as before, I'm sure you could live comfortably, and probably have decent quality of life improvements.

    But IMO much more likely is this whole ai bubble sigmoid flattens out and then a good 10-20 years pass before we have the real killer use case for it (similar many of America's previous bubbles like dark fiber).
