Inspired by another comment, I've been to the mountain that Monkey (of the 80's TV show) "hatched" on. It is more of a hill really, and it's brown, not black as shown in the intro.

If you were president and knew you were going to pardon your kids on the way out would u tell them to do all they want and I'll pardon you? Why or why not? in c/asklemmy

Too many complaints about being political. Locking.

Also somewhat amusing that my reply about the US Constitution, our founding political document, remains up.

I removed the comment above yours. I took the approach that where a comment could reasonably be interpreted as a hypothetical question (or response to), and thus not about actual US politics as they are occurring, they were left up. It's about trying to remove posts and comments that are against the purpose of the community, but also respecting those that are not. Personal judgement is often required and not everyone will agree with every decision. Shades of grey....

Post is borderline political. It's a line ball.

I'm going to lock this post now as the comments keep straying into US Politics.

TIL how to block all posts containing the words Trump or Vance. (self.todayilearned)

submitted 3 weeks ago by Bluetreefrog to c/todayilearned

I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
Install the Lemmy tools script.
Browse to Lemmy
Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

Lemmy post blocking (by key word) extension for Firefox (self.programming)

submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by Bluetreefrog to c/[email protected]

I'm wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.

I'm pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.

It was started by one of the grandfathers of computing/the web/the internet, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was called and my DuckDuckGo-Foo is failing me today.

I had to help give CPR to someone recently, and their eyes were partly open. Got me wondering whether they were partly conscious while I was doing compressions.
