Ah yes, conservatives. Famous for their support of public transportation

If you are technically-minded, might I suggest SpamBlocker?: https://f-droid.org/packages/spam.blocker/
It's not the most user friendly, but it provides features like:
- automatically download spam database info
- regex rules for sms
- STIR attestation
- various rules you can adjust (like accepting calls right after using a specific app [like a food delivery app], or accepting calls from contacts, etc.)
Note that if a call or SMS is "blocked", it's still stored in your call / sms logs. It just prevents alerting you
I see some recommendations for Vesktop in this thread.
For some reason, launching Vesktop's Flatpak version presents a blank window. It worked perfectly fine a few weeks ago. Going back several versions doesn't fix the problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? What doesn't help is that the repo doesn't have an issue tracker:

Edit: Appimage version works just fine
Is it the other guy's responsibility to set the expectation on when to get to it?
If it is stopping you, then talk to your supervisor/boss/manager/whatever. It's literally their job to "unstuck" you, especially when it's due to differing business priorities (i.e. red tape).
As another comment has mentioned, if it truly is a priority than at least with digital communication you've established a paper trail. In person confrontations diminish the length and quality of this trail.
That's a power move?
With all due respect, the few times I've had this happen to me I just think of the person coming up to me as a whiny bitch, especially if the matter is such a low priority as to not get a response.
Damn girl, you shit like this?
They Bleed Pixels. Tough as nails precision platformer with combat, and a gothic Lovecraftian aesthetic. Came out in 2012, but for some reason didn't get as much attention as Super Meat Boy (2010)
I want to be remembered as the succulent meal that sometimes makes good points and funny jokes 🍗🍚
Judero lookin' asses
(Judero is actually an amazing game and a work of art. Go play it, if you like the idea of a game made fully in clay + spare pieces laying around the creator's house)
From the software engineer in the article:
“I think there’s this problem where people are stuck in the old world business mindset of, well, if I can do the same work that 10 developers were doing with one developer, let’s just cut the developer team instead of saying, oh, well, we’ve got a 10 developer team, let’s do 1,000x the work that we were doing before,” K says.
Buddy, there is no "old world business mindset", this is capitalism as usual. Even IF (big IF), an employer can get 1000x the output, you guys will NOT get 1000x the compensation. This is exploitation
Let's put this to rest: when productivity boosts are touted as a benefit from using AI, it doesn't mean shit if you work for someone else (i.e. you don't really own your work)
I keep noticing people in this thread recommending UBlock Origin, with others replying that they eventually got a popup to turn off their adblocker.
This is usually followed by replies mentioning they just click X (or add a UBlock filter on the popup), and go on with watching Youtube. No problem, right?
According to Ublock Origin's Redd*t Post, that is just the first warning stage; eventually the presentation of their anti-adblock message becomes more intrusive until you receive the "The in-player message. Playback is stopped."
I should know. I get that message on any Youtube video (while logged in), and it doesn't go away for several hours.
That said, my workaround (extremely hacky) was to find the RSS feeds for all of my channel subscriptions, and then add them to FreshRSS. That section of my RSS feed essentially acts like a Youtube subscription page, but not tied to an actual account.
On my computer: I watch them in a private browser Firefox profile I've dedicated solely to Youtube (and has all of the extensions already installed, of course).
On Android: I watch them using NewPipe.
Edit: In addition, I store my "watch later" links using Linkding, which was easy to setup. While I do see reply suggestions on how to get rid of the popup, I think it's better (for the long term) to have an independent way to consume Youtube. While Youtube currently implements a 4 stage system, they could always add another stage or make the current one more strict.
I think my approach requires more set up work (and probably introduces more friction) compared to reply suggestions, but overall is more resistant to future updates to Youtube's nagging system.
