bluestarultor<p>Today is my first workday on standard time and let me just say how frustrated I am.</p><p>Rest? It was okay. Woke up sleep drunk yesterday, felt pretty rested today, which is very rare because of my night owl tendencies.</p><p>But my office smart lights turned on for their sunset offset at <em>2:30</em> and they're sitting on their warm white wind-down color. The one I use to help myself not be quite so awake.</p><p>I went out to try to find some metal bits I lost with a magnet on a string at <em>3:30</em> because it's miserable out and I knew I was losing light.</p><p>I have OPINIONS about standard time vs. DST. And they all boil down to "please for the love of GOD let me see the fucking sun!" Fact of the matter is DST doesn't make people not sleep; that shit became irrelevant with <em>electric lights.</em></p><p>This should probably be a full <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RantOfTheMoment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RantOfTheMoment</span></a>, but you get a <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MiniRant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiniRant</span></a> for now.</p>
bluestarultor<p>Not going to link to the post, but it's about how a news site is letting you pay to not be flooded with cookies for ad purposes.</p><p>God, does <em>nobody</em> use an ad blocker?</p><p>Do yourself a favor:</p><ol><li>Download Firefox</li><li>Install AdBlock Plus or Ublock Origin, doesn't matter which</li><li>Supplement it with NoScript</li><li>Enjoy the entire Internet being usable into the thousands of windows and tabs</li></ol><p>Firefox has Enhanced Tracking Protection on by default. This means it essentially doesn't <em>matter</em> if anything serves you cookies; they're blocked cross-domain, so whenever a site requests them, Firefox serves it its own cookies right back. There's even a check mark to tell sites automatically not to sell your data.</p><p>All of these are <em>solved problems.</em></p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RantoftheMoment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RantoftheMoment</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MiniRant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiniRant</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ad</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ads</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AdBlocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AdBlocker</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Firefox</span></a></p>
