Seamonkey (Mozilla browser/email/news suite) still exists! https://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/

And there's even still a build of uBlock Origin for it! https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/

There is still hope, if we keep the open tools alive...

Posted from freshly-installed Seamonkey browser with uBlock Origin :)

OMG! I want to somehow integrate this as a screensaver into my own web-based dashboard as an easter egg :). Hmmmm.

Beautiful! I admire your skill.. I know next to nothing about woodworking but I'm sure curvy pieces like this must be tricky!

Patience is a virtue, but it's up to you if you want to hold and wait or not. The company still has no debt and has been showing a trend towards profitability every quarter so far since Jan 2021 events, so IMHO there's no logical reason why the stock won't rise over time (as you probably know, there are many, many different theories why it hasn't already, but again no one knows for sure).

When so many investors say 'fundamentals are what matters', it's funny to hear from some of those same investors the level of shade they throw. It's like they've got something personal against this particular company. Hmmm.

The DRS List. Mercy mercy me, GME ain't where it used to be, Where did all the street shares go? in c/drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org

For CanadApes, BMO used to be great (free) but now it's $100, so f*ck em. Use Interactive Brokers Canada or DRS directly by purchasing from ComputerShare (but remember to BOOK and shed the fractional afterwards).

There is an awesome 'old rexxit' theme for lemmy, ask your favourite instance admin to install it (I don't know the proper name but they should be able to figure it out). I honestly forget I'm not on the old site sometimes.

Searching for "plaster of paris, cornmeal, sugar" leads to some sites with what appear to be very good guides on making one's own rat poison. Thanks, bookmarked (we get 'em occasionally).

I just was updating my browser setup on my Linux laptop today, and wanted to install an extension I used to like using a few years ago ... 'TrackMeNot'. I couldn't find it on the Chrome Store at all. I had a feeling why... yup!

https://www.trackmenot.io/googleban#:~:text=Google%20falsely%20labels%20TrackMeNot%20as%20malware%2C%20bans%20it,of%20being%20removed%20from%20the%20Chrome%20Web%20Store.

Of course they would gin up a reason to suppress a plugin that lets users obscure their search engine activity. Slimy Bastards. At least the extension is still available, and still works, if one locally installs the unpacked version: https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome

We should indeed all move to Firefox (despite their own stupid issues -- someone please start a new browser engine, even if it's a Herculean task these days!)
