  • I used Redirector for old reddit. It allows me to redirect any URL to another based on wildcards or regex.

    Here is the rule I use for it (save as a json file and import via the addon).

    {
        "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
        "createdAt": "2023-12-10T21:12:34.219Z",
        "redirects": [
            {
                "description": "Old reddit",
                "exampleUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/b4vm0g/auto_login_a_pain/",
                "exampleResult": "https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/b4vm0g/auto_login_a_pain/",
                "error": null,
                "includePattern": "https?:\\/\\/www.reddit.com\\/(.*)",
                "excludePattern": "",
                "patternDesc": "Redirect to old reddit",
                "redirectUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/$1",
                "patternType": "R",
                "processMatches": "noProcessing",
                "disabled": false,
                "grouped": false,
                "appliesTo": [
                    "main_frame"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
    




  • This is a bit of a friend-of-a-friend story, so it is difficult to evaluate the veracity but here goes.

    I once met a woman from Germany (2011, so some time ago now). Her friend had been to the US via some school exchange program. If I recall correctly, the state she went to was Texas but I could be wrong. Anyway, the teacher of the class this friend went to still thought that Adolf Hitler was the ruler of Germany, so she had instructed all students to stand up, do a Nazi salute and say “Heil Hitler” when she first entered the class room. She immediately left the class room, crying.

    From what I remember, this supposedly happened a few years prior to me meeting this person and being told the story, so maybe 2008? I can only really vouch for the first part of this story, I was really told this. I cannot know if the rest is true, but I believed her back then at least.

    Long story short, there are some backwards people on this world indeed.


  • An interesting precedent that offers a hint of what Tesla could be up against occurred in 1995 when Toys’R’Us entered the Swedish market and initially refused to sign a collective agreement with the retail union, Handelsanställdas Förbund. The company eventually conceded after three months of labor strife, including a number of solidarity strikes when other unions blocked all deliveries, garbage collection, postal service, bank payments, and other vital parts the firm’s operations. The conflict was even supported by unions in many other countries, who encouraged their members to boycott Toys’R’Us products.

    Go Sweden’s unions!
