Helium has been the closest I've found. It comes with uBlock Origin. It is based on Chromium though, so not sure if the manifest v2 removal will break that.

One of the all-time great shows. Mythology episodes mixed in with the "monster of the week" ones for the casual viewers. The music was also pretty special. Each episode was like a mini feature film.

I'd like it too. The new docs do refer to it e.g:

> When S3 compatibility is enabled (currently in beta), the number of available replication points is reduced

I assume it's a private beta.

Looks great!

One suggestion would be adding a focus trap, such as when a Dialog opens. It's nice to use the tab key to move around the Dialog (inputs and buttons). Currently focus leaves to the page behind. It might be as simple as adding https://alpinejs.dev/plugins/focus#x-trap

Regulation? Unfortunately this administration is going in the opposite direction.

Thought I'd check to see how his memecoin is currently doing. It's exactly as expected.

I wonder how many of his supporters bought at $70 ...

I assume because of Peter Navarro (and of course Ron Vara).

Baffles me too. His ignorance is astonishing.

I think it's because it's one thing he can control all by himself. Look at all the attention he's receiving. The "will he/won't he" reality TV. Put a tweet saying X%. No, they won't be cancelled. Yes I'm suspending them for 90 days. And so on.

Yep, apparently that's in the works. They aren't going to reduce the deficit or debt. It soared during Donald's first term and will again.

Donald is weak. He was always going to fold. Once China and the EU called his bluff and retaliated, he was done. Lasted less than 24 hours.

This. He was playing a character. People think it was a documentary.

You need to use the block option, relentlessly. There's loads of garbage on there but you can clear much of it away. See it -> block it -> done.

I haven't tried it but it looks like Xata has come up with a neat solution to DB migrations (at least for postgres). There can be two versions of the app running.
