You’re right. I updated my response.

I’m unsure what benefit you get from this though.

Not much, to be honest. Links seem to load a lot quicker with the urls simplified. Other than that, no real reason to do it.

Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about Greasemonkey. I went to make a script using your code and it said there was already one available. That script looks like this:

Edit: Updated script

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var links = document.links;
    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        var referer = links[i].href.indexOf('&u=');
        links[i].href = decodeURIComponent(links[i].href.substr(referer + 3));
    }

})();

and it worked fine. Then I replaced that code with yours, and it worked just as well. Thanks again.

If we jail people for riding drunk

Not sure where you are, but in my state they do.

For me that is much more than a pet peeve.

I see idiots saying they support trump because of his “policies”. I just can’t imagine being a woman, or having a sister, or a mom, or a female colleague, or a brain cell, and voting Republican. It makes no sense.

I doubt Russia will attack a NATO member.

I just went for the heavy use of blocking those types, and my experience on here has gotten way better. Otherwise, my user experience was just a fire hose of outrage and performative pearl clutching.

They did the same thing with Biden.

This is like saying 1,000 delusional people endorse Harris. I don’t think it’s the flex they think it is.

Before I started using the mail-in ballots, I’d go to my local polling place, and it was always staffed with old retirees just happily supporting democracy. They’d work long hours, and not for pay, just for community. My mom worked polling places several elections after she retired. This article makes me sad.

The voters are supposed to hold them accountable. It’s just rotten from the bottom up.

If trump actually…shudder…wins, he could do as he’s said and bring down the fascist military hammer on any type of dissidents. These billionaire ghouls don’t care what happens to the country or world, they just care about their hoard.

I wouldn’t give the Russian troll farms all the credit. There is a lot of activity coming from Iran as well. Especially on this topic.

I don’t care what their political views are, billionaires should not exist.

I guess we’d get to see what’s been war planned for Putin sending off his nukes.

Linus either makes me think he’s a dick, or he makes me laugh. Sometimes both. I liked his response:

Greg Kroah-Hartman who authored the patch dropping the various maintainers has yet to comment on the mailing list thread, but a few minutes ago Linus Torvalds chimed in with his opinion. Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

I have a family member who just cancelled their subscription to the LA Times over this. After having been a subscriber for decades and continuing to be a subscriber to “maybe slow the decline of traditional journalism” for the past years since its quality has severely declined, they just said,“Well, that did it.”

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.

In Future Shock,

Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP
