[00:36:22] <Bytram> FatPhil: This is what I use: https://github.com
[00:36:23] <upstart> ^ 03JustOff/cookies-exterminator
[00:37:07] <Bytram> I have a few sites white-listed, all other cookies are removed a few seconds after I close the last tab that references that domain.
[00:38:06] <Bytram> btw, I also use PM on Windows (7 Pro)
[00:41:26] <Bytram> note: "a few seconds" == "10 seconds"
[00:42:27] <Bytram> works like a champ! Sites I want to retain cookies can, all others can set cookies, but when I'm done with the site... nuked from orbit! It's as if I never went there!

[01:58:09] <Runaway1956> And, yes, when js is outlawed, your taxes will go up, lol
[02:10:03] <chromas> I make a vote that we should run ads on political stories
[02:12:31] <Runaway1956> No problem here. If the ads are self hosted, I'll see them - if they are third party servers, I'll probably never see them.
[02:13:27] <Runaway1956> In fact, I might click on some ads hosted by Soylent
[02:13:36] <Runaway1956> funny how that works . . .

[10:19:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, two things on azuma's sub. it's about eight paragraphs more editorializing than we normally print and unless you'd be willing to run the same thing about college campuses it would be showing very definite editorial bias.

[11:23:58] <Bender> karma - coffee: 4756
[11:25:00] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: I do not want the site to turn into the battleground between various political ideologies -- am aiming to steer away from political stories, period.
[11:25:22] <boru> Thank goodness for the politics nexus!
[11:25:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> ditto. i prefer black holes to black lives matter

[11:27:21] <boru> You're not supposed to drink coffee like that!
[11:28:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> face hole. too much bother to break out a hose and drop trousers.
[11:28:44] <Bytram> boru: the politics nexus was added at the [loud] request of some in the community, and was advised against by some in staff. It has become what was cautioned about. Just because it exists does not mean we need to stuff it full every day, or even at all... but if there were to be some major development (i.e. Trump being assassinated, North Korean rocket hits Japan, etc.) that is where I would put it.
[11:29:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> need nicotine, back shortly.
[11:29:10] <Bytram> k
[11:29:20] <Bytram> need coffee, biab
[11:34:39] <boru> No no, you misconstrue what I meant; I was just glad that I have read the site with the political stories filtered out.
[11:36:58] <Bytram> boru: Oh! Got it. Sadly, checking the nexus is... awkward on my mobile phone, so I may miss when stories are not properly nexified(?). Am trying to be more mindful when I 2nd a story, too. Pls speak up here or in #editorial if we accidentally miscategorize a story.

[21:04:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> <AzumaHazuki> trying to add more STEM, non-political stuff to the queue
[21:04:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> cheers, yo ^^
[21:10:26] <AzumaHazuki> of course i did put a couple of more topical ones in there too. did you see the one about taking male rape victims seriously?
[21:10:48] <AzumaHazuki> people are probably going to wonder why a feminist cares. i say it's because they don't get what feminism is
[21:23:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, i don't generally get up in edity business like perusing subs before they hit the page
[21:24:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> not unless someone brings it up anyway
[21:26:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i'd like to keep non-tech/science politics off the site unless they're highly crucial but i think the eds keep it close enough to not overly bother me
[21:26:55] <AzumaHazuki> how many accounts does that RDT/John Miller guy actually have anyway? he's admitted to using at least one AC to sockpuppet
[21:27:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> lots of people use AC. spammers aside, the highest count we know of of anyone who actually reads and comments is like three registered nicks.
[21:28:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> so it's not exactly a flood of sockpuppeting
[21:31:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you, there've been folks who got tired of their nick's baggage or forgot the password and email address they used who've got multiple accounts but only use one.
[21:32:01] <AzumaHazuki> i wonder sometimes if i'm just too much of a straight shooter for this place...
[21:32:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> if i were to hazard an unresearched guess, i'd say we're way over 99% legit, one to a customer accounts.
