It ain’t much but it’s honest work

Definitely some things I’m missing on jerboa. There’s no way to go to a post directly from your notification feed which is like… A crucial thing to be able to do.

Yes. You can block ads by creating a special script, you can find the info on how to do that at the end of this GitHub ticket but I’ll paste it here too.

1. Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)

2. Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).

3. Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears.

4. Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset to the URL https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/vaft/vaft-ublock-origin.js

Then just disable and reenable uBlock to refresh it and you should be good to go.

My AdBlocker still works on twitch, you just have to do some fanaegling with user scripts.

Oh no! Anyway…

Oh fully agree, of course. Every once in a while I see a neoliberal dipshit in their opinion columns making some abhorrent take, but generally they’re significantly better than WaPo, NYT, CNN, Fox, CNBC, NBC, or CBS.

Some other good ones are Reuters, Al Jazeera, and the Associated Press, which of course each come with their own set of biases as well. Reuters is also fairly establishment liberal, Al Jazeera is useless for any news about the Middle East, and AP’s opinion and analysis columns lean pretty conservative.

My comment was more in the sense that a “neutral” news site is one where they do not suppress facts because those facts favor a perceived “side” of a debate, which is becoming increasingly common as major political parties in the US and abroad start pushing outright falsehoods in their rhetoric.

Both of them have truly neutral coverage, as in they report based on fact and reality and don’t limit what they write in order to maintain some false sense of neutrality. Many news sites nowadays play down objective fact in order to maintain “neutrality” between one side of the political spectrum that believes in evidence and statistical fact and one that expressly does not.

This of course means that they’re seen as being “anti-Trump” or “anti-Republican” but in actuality it’s reality itself that is anti-Trump and they just report reality.
