April fool’s mood

Friendly reminder-

I don’t suffer fools gladly on any day, doubly so on April 1.

No “practical jokes”, please. Not now. Something fun and funny that doesn’t hurt anyone, fine. Hurt someone’s feelings or scare people, or just lie about something very concerning to folks… Well, that firecracker is going to blow a few of your own fingers off, at the very least.

Keep it friendly, goofy and fun.

Don’t be mean. Now isn’t the time to be a dick.

Firefox assist

Hey by the way while I’m thinking about it I’ve settled into a collection of extensions I really like for FireFox and I thought I’d share.

Auto tab discard – “discard” is the wrong word, don’t let this scare you off; this pauses background tabs so they’re not constantly running scripts or refreshing and eating up memory. You can set how long you want it to be before it “discards” (pauses) the tab, you can set certain tabs to not discard, you can tell it to not discard tabs with media playing; 100/10, HUGE HUGE speed and functionality improvements to my browser/system with this extension – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-discard/

UblockOrigin – adblocker – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

Mind the Time – tracks how long you’ve spent on the pages you’re on (so I can see that I’ve spent four hours and sixteen minutes on tumblr today and reassess my life) (i like the IDEA of productivity apps that prevent me from getting on sites I spend too much time on but if my computer ever tries to tell me what to do I get immediately fighty so this is just a mindfulness thing) – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mind-the-time/

Multi Account Containers – VERY GOOD LIFECHANGING PERFECT EXTENSION; opens tabs in isolation so you can log in as different users in the same window without logging out. Basically I can be logged into multiple gmail/tumblr/amazon accounts without having to open private windows and that’s Very Nice – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

Facebook Container – keeps FB from tracking you all over the place and isolates it into its own little biohazard container and good riddance – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/

Privacy Badger – EFF tool for blocking trackers – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-badger17/

Auto tab discard – “discard” is the wrong word, don’t let this scare you off; this pauses background tabs so they’re not constantly running scripts or refreshing and eating up memory.

HTTPS everywhere – forces HTTPS connections everywhere they’re supported – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/

Decentraleyes – blocks tracking from centralized content delivery hubs (google, yandex, etc.) – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/

Types of stard

  • Mu
  • Ba

this is oddly close to real

‘ard’ is a real suffix in the english language just like ‘ly’ or ‘ify’, it just isnt common enough for us to notice its usage. ‘ard’ means ‘too much’ or ‘too easily’

so ‘mustard’ is something that is ‘too pungent’, just as ‘wizard’ is someone who is too wise, ‘coward’ is someone too easily cowed, and ‘drunkard’ is someone too often drunk
