also for some reason you can't use revivify scrolls on non party members, which is a real "Phoenix down stops working in cutscenes" feel
(and then a Stellar's Jay swooped in a moment later and stole a bunch of the peanuts :D I'd feel slightly bad except the crow had a friend who was bullying a flicker away from the suet feeder)
@rodhilton This led me down a rabbit hole of how to block crap sites from Google search results and discovering uBlacklist. It works with multiple search engines, including DDG if you need to fine-tune things to avoid junk sites. You can even have subscription lists for maintained blocklists so you're not doing it all on your own.

In case the news hasn't made it to here yet: If you support creators on Patreon, PLEASE check your pledges & payment info!
Patreon major slipped up & loads of creators have lost a good chunk of their income due to charges marked as fraudulent. Many supporters have been completely removed too & have to re-sign up to creators' pages.
Please spread the word, artists & creators have it bad enough as it is without Patreon making things worse. x/

Things to do with a time machine:
fond whoever decided insipid TV news was the most appropriate "background noise" alien waiting rooms and smack them with a wet fish, followed by 30000 hours of listening to this shit in a row no breaks
this brought to you by waiting room news reporting on the Trump indictments by just going "x says y, z says a" literally the laziest possible "news".

@Phorm I think one of your fellow genies set up a front near my place :D
I'm sure it's totally fine
hey did you know you can watch youtube videos with mpv if you have yt-dlp installed? with a single command?
like this:
mpv 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSnrQBfBCzY'
oh, and while we're at it, did you know that channels have an RSS feed you can subscribe to with any RSS reader?
like this:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCy0tKL1T7wFoYcxCe0xjN6Q
or this:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=phreakindee
definitely don't do any of this though! it would certainly be a shame if everyone could just watch youtube videos without ever visiting the site...
