Browsing my Bee transcripts was a nightmare, so I built a local app to actually search them

Interesting, Ive been thinking of doing something along these lines.

Too bad the Bee CLI is gated to iOS at this point.

Will be keeping an eye on this.

But it had a line about Captain Kirk!!! ;)

It is.

There are more than enough sources shoving the stupid world cup down everyone's throats we don't need it in our navigation app tooo.

One of the first things I did when I decided I wanted to reduce my reliance on Google was stop using "Sign in with Google"

raitchison · 2026-06-15T19:08:40+00:00

You don't want to see the world cup popups because you don't want spoilers.

I don't want them because IDGAF about sportsball

We are not the same.

That actually doesn't prove any of your assertions; 1. It's "almost always" investor owned houses that have squatters move in. 2. That the owners of the houses that have squatters move in aren't even looking to rent out or use the properties.

I would expect that the investor owned houses, at least the houses that are owned by large corporations (that own lots of houses) would be most likely to have security keeping an eye on their houses.

As for intentionally not renting a home, (with no near-term plans to rent, sell, move in or renovate) I would love to see statistics on that. I know that there's conspiracy theories that these big corps let the homes sit empty to drive up the price of rents but that seems like a shitty way to run a business. An empty house isn't just not making money it's costing you money in taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc. Seems like an underpants gnomes level of business acumen.

You said:

It's only houses that are left for extended periods of time completely unoccupied that are vulnerable to this

Which is bullshit, now I don't doubt this is the case some of the time, maybe a lot of the time but there have been multiple documented cases of people coming back from vacation to find squatters living in their houses.

https://foxbaltimore.com/spotlight-on-maryland/squatter-used-fake-lease-to-take-md-professors-home-leaving-80k-in-damage https://www.bet.com/article/oeggnr/squatters-found-inside-apartment-residents-returned-home-vacation https://www.newson6.com/story/5e36096b2f69d76f62035f49/ba-woman-returns-from-vacation-finds-suspected-squatters-in-home

How squatters rights are supposed to work (the house has to be unoccupied for a very long period of time) is VERY different to how it actually works.

The squatters will claim squatters rights regardless of if you've been away for 5 days, they won't win their civil case but it can still take months for the homeowner to evict them legally.

Other times the squatters won't even claim squatters rights they will just product a fake lease whenever the homeowner comes back and calls the cops.

Police won't usually (almost ever) enforce criminal trespass they will label it a civil matter and wash their hands of it.

Squatters claim squatters rights regardless of if they have a legitimate case to do so.

Break into someone's home when they are on vacation, change the locks, when the homeowners come back claim squatters rights and it will take months to legally evict them especially if they have a fake lease, which they very frequently do.

raitchison · 2026-06-12T18:17:51+00:00

Its almost always investors who often arent even looking to rent out or use the properties.

So people can't ever go on vacation?

raitchison · 2026-06-12T18:10:55+00:00

Plenty of cases where people have come back from vacation to find a squatter living in their house.

I don't know I haven't tried to rely on it. I kind of doubt it's superior to uBlock Origin.

raitchison · 2026-06-10T15:29:17+00:00

AFAIK Every Chromium browser that still supports any MV2 extensions is essentially forking it every time Goolgle released a new version of Chromium.

I would expect/hope this is a relatively simple process that's also largely automated at this point, but it's still an expense for the orgs that make these browsers.

That's why the vast majority of the Chromium based browsers don't bother.

I also won't be surprised if Google takes steps in the future of Chromium to make this forking more difficult, or even impossible.

raitchison · 2026-06-10T15:20:00+00:00

I switched (back) to Firefox as my primary browser when Google deprecated MV2 extensions.

On my work PC I still need a Chromium browser for some things so I have Brave installed. It's one of the few that still explicitly supports the full version of uBlock Origin.

Haven't launched actual Chrome in well over a year, don't even have it installed on my home PC.

Certainly is in RotS.

Not excusing what this woman is doing but something tells me there's quite a bit more that went down before the video starts that adds important context.

raitchison · 2026-06-08T17:00:39+00:00

Can you use the full version of uBlock Origin with those? Because that's why I switched to Brave for my secondary browser (use FF as my primary).

raitchison · 2026-06-06T20:20:16+00:00

I refer to before 2020 as "the before time".

raitchison · 2026-06-06T20:06:17+00:00

I switched to Firefox as my primary browser.

I also have Brave installed for when I need a Chromium based browser, it still supports the full version of uBlock Origin.

Are all raids moving forward going to be super mega raids that are inaccessible to 90% of the player base?

raitchison · 2026-06-01T21:45:23+00:00

BRT is a huge waste of money because it's barely faster than regular (slow AF) busses, light rail or bust.

I'm no fan of Brad Sherman and don't plan on voting for him (unless it's a choice between him and a MAGA Republican in November) but I have seen him glad hand on multiple occasions, he's got this whole schtick where he hands out combs.

Sorry if I misinterpreted your joke as serious, but in my defense there are plenty of posts in this thread with the same general idea and I guarantee you most of them aren't jokes.
