that case was about content, not broadcast. the spectrum should be reclaimed for something more useful.

we just finished transitioning to digital broadcasting less than six years ago in order to reclaim spectrum and you already want to shutter tv broadcast entirely?

I have a beagle boner hooked up to my TV. I use it for VICE, linapple, and fastbox. It can't always maintain 30 frames. Would a raspi 2 b+ be any better for this, or should I just look for a laptop with a dead screen that can push 1080p?

a laptop with a dead screen that can handle 1080 is probably as cheap as an rpi2 these days.

the raspi 2 has basically the same gpu as the original rpis so its not tht great.

Facebook recently started delaying my email notifications by 30 minutes. So like if there's a chat going on or comments on posts, it sends me the facebook notifications for them instantly, and then exactly 30mins later, it sends them through email. Is there a setting to fix that so it's instant again?

you're probably part of some A/B test where they delay sending email notifications, hoping you'll be conditioned to constantly and compulsively check their app and web site for the latest updates on the denizens of this gay earth

Hellban users. A hellbanned user is effectively erased from your browsing experience. Their posts will be removed, including responses to their posts by non-hellbanned users.

Hide posts that don't contain images. Useful for image threads where too many people just comment without posting content.

Prevent image spamming. Any more than 3 images in a quote are removed, to prevent the case where people quote a large post full of images and just add a one line comment.

Filter low content posts. Hides post that are just empty quotes or single-emoticon posts.

Streamline view. For quickly skimming a long thread. Strips the page of any extraneous content, showing more posts per-page.

Hide avatars. Client-side preference for scrubbing avatars/custom-titles, so you can (for example) show avatars at home but not at work.

also did your browser update or the script update? maybe the way the new tabs are being opened now counts twice

bonus maybe something was done to the forums code (not likely but hey)

FIrefox is always updating so probably that :v:

I tried a newer version of Greasemonkey, didn't help. Sometimes it works fine so IDK?? I tried to find a newer version of the script but ever since UserScripts died that's a pain.

I pretty much use it for opening new replies in tabs
