[2026-02-10T00:23:56Z] <kris_> where is my government mandated pager
[2026-02-10T07:21:32Z] <Ozymandias42> midfavila: just don't use social media then? To this day I refuse to have an account on social media. It's why my coworker never sende me facebook links because he knows that. Why he still sends me Instagram links instead of extracting the link to what he actually wants to show me FROM instagram and sending me THAT I dont know.
[2026-02-10T07:21:50Z] <Ozymandias42> at least with instagram I don't need an account and can neuter all of its garbage with umatrix
[2026-02-10T09:39:30Z] <sad_plan> Ozymandias42: you should stop using umatrix. its been outdated years ago now. use ublock instead
[2026-02-10T09:40:00Z] <sad_plan> also not sending you fb links is easy. dissecting IG's content is less trivial than just no sending anything :p
[2026-02-10T09:40:30Z] <sad_plan> also, regarding umatrix, I also liked it better than ublock. gave me more granual control. atleast thats how I felt
[2026-02-10T09:53:04Z] <Ozymandias42> sad_plan: I use both and will continue to do so. ublock can't do what umatrix can
[2026-02-10T13:48:52Z] <sad_plan> both is for sure redundant. but yes, I agree with you that umatrix has some features that ublock doesnt. I remember being really mad about its disconntuniation..
[2026-02-10T14:19:41Z] <kris_> first I'm hearing of umatrix
[2026-02-10T14:20:38Z] <sad_plan> its been disconntinued years ago, so theres really no need of hearing about it any more :p
[2026-02-10T14:20:59Z] <sad_plan> iirc, its the same developer as ublock. but I might be wrong, so dont quote me on that
[2026-02-10T14:29:07Z] <sad_plan> well, arkenfox disagree with me though on features. https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother
[2026-02-10T15:28:38Z] <midfavila> Ozymandias42: unfortunately there are certain things where it's borderline mandatory
[2026-02-10T15:29:05Z] <midfavila> as i said, the governments of canada use social media to communicate with the public, and not everything is crossposted to government websites
[2026-02-10T15:30:30Z] <Ozymandias42> Huh. That's not good
[2026-02-10T15:33:58Z] <midfavila> no
[2026-02-10T15:33:59Z] <midfavila> no it is not
[2026-02-10T15:35:05Z] <midfavila> oh my fucking god i hate python 
[2026-02-10T15:35:12Z] <midfavila> and its whole like 
[2026-02-10T15:35:14Z] <midfavila> ecosystem
[2026-02-10T15:35:58Z] <midfavila> all i want to do is do some stuff with my music player's bootloader, so i install esptool using apt, and i'm messing about, and the program can't find its fucking dependencies, but it doesn't tell me until i'm halfway through what i'm doing before immediately crashing
[2026-02-10T15:36:14Z] <midfavila> why does it not check for the presence of dependencies, and why the fuck does apt not install them
[2026-02-10T15:36:29Z] <midfavila> i really need to port kiss to my reform
[2026-02-10T15:36:38Z] <midfavila> tired of this shit desu
[2026-02-10T15:39:13Z] <midfavila> AND THE FUCKING ALTERNATIVE WANTS ME TO INSTALL DOCKER
[2026-02-10T15:39:24Z] <midfavila> actually screaming rn 
[2026-02-10T15:42:27Z] <midfavila> okay nvm found something that might work
[2026-02-10T15:49:41Z] <sad_plan> im suprised you havent already really
[2026-02-10T18:01:48Z] <kris_> yeah python is fucking awful
[2026-02-10T18:01:53Z] <kris_> we can agree there
