I can recommend the DeArrow extension for this. It has an option to always show the untranslated title. Plus, it has the intended features such as thumbnail replacement and crowd-sourced titles. DeArrow works in Android Firefox.

It's unfortunate that YouTube is only usable with these extensions, but here we are.

My roasts are savage:

> Your 236-line 'simplified' code example suggests you might need to look up the definition of 'simplified' in a dictionary that's not written in Ruby.

OUCH

> You've spent so much time worrying about Facebook tracking you that you've failed to notice your dental nanobot fantasies are far more concerning to the rest of us.

Heard.

This doesn't look dirty or confusing to me at all.

I buy Motorola phones and they have been great in recent years. I consider them the new Android One. The OS is stock Android. Facebook and LinkedIn are preinstalled, but easily removed. The moto apps add useful gestures. The launcher is very much like the Pixel one, but also easily changed. It uses Google apps for everything, i.e. Gboard for the keyboard. The camera is great. Typing this on an edge 30.

I agree completely! I ditched Ubuntu for this very fact. GNOME and snaps are deal breakers for me. I switched to Fedora KDE a year ago and I use it every day. And not just for coding. It's a real treat and stuff just works and gets out of my way.

Gaggenau has this, we have the Vario 400 series. Physical buttons, crazy fast, reliable and beautiful. The downside: it cost us the same as a small second hand car...

Yes! This is fairly common. It usually happens when the power leads pick up a small amount of electricity via induction. You can place a compensator near the fixture to take care of it. (Basically a high voltage capacitor)

It's solid advice for sure, but I've been doing the opposite in recent years. Sign up for everything, confirm accounts, setup MFA if possible, and consistently use the account. Then, when I want to terminate the relationship, request permanent account deletion. (I'm in EU, so GDPR applies)

This way I can be reasonably sure they've tied all my activity to my singular account. Instead of my shipping address, IP etc being all over the place. When they don't have a delete account button, I request it via email. Seems to work fine. Obviously can't be sure it's actually gone, but that's okay. Ever since Adobe leaked my PII, it's out there anyway.

Yes, absolutely. I've felt 22-ish for most of my adult life, until midlife happened. That was a couple years ago, and I'm in the tail end of my midlife "crisis". Right now, at 47, I feel my age. Also, I'm totally okay with it.

Midlife crisis definitely happened for me, and might actually have been my internal age adjusting to my external one.

Makes me wonder if I'll feel 47 for the rest of my life...
