I know some things

The wrong things.

I initially thought "War Pigs" when I first saw the image, but I don't think that's it

Rex Murphy, the socially-malignant gas-pump-fellating pseudo-intellectual who claimed to love Canada but was really just perpetually daydreaming about a socially conservative Randian right-wing dystopia, has finally and permanently shut the fuck up at 77.

Fixed that for you, NatPo.

Weird Al - Like A Surgeon

That thread is fucking bizarro, and is itself unhinged.

The CEO seemed fairly reasonable to me (if someone were bashing my company on their blog I'd like a chance for rebuttal), though they did ignore the "please stop emailing me" request.

It almost feels like everyone involved from the blog post to the thread comments are in the middle of a manic episode. What in the heck is going on?

If anything I bet this results in a net subscriber gain for Kagi.

Good luck (I mean that sincerely). I've heard it's not terribly easy to move here if you're not a recognised refugee. There was a lot of "I'm moving to Canada if the trumpet plays" talk in 2016, but I don't think it resulted in any significant increase in Americans moving here.

I will say, as a Canadian, I and a number of my friends are considering moving away from Canada if America goes full totalitarian (which is looking likely, if not this election then the next). It's essentially America-lite here now, but with a higher cost of living and lower salaries. Most of us are thinking New Zealand or Ireland.

There's actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.

I don't believe that's possible. I think at one point there was a way to disable all access to the history API, but I don't believe that option exists anymore. Additionally, it would break a lot of websites.

Unfortunately I think this is probably a result of the way YouTube implements their "auto play next video" feature, and they are unlikely to change that.

An option might be using an alternative YouTube front-end, rather than using the YouTube site, but I don't have a lot of experience with those. (other people on here do though)
