Did you know about Alt-click in the Illustrator pathfinder???
Fuck you illustrator for hiding this, when you've got 50 useless pathfinder buttonshttps://www.instagram.com/p/C4YN…
Also draw inside, which is basically just clipping but handy
https://www.instagram.com/p/C4c3…- draw inside - wtf. Thanks.Fax_Benson
- Illustrator finally catching up to Figmanb

For the PC users. An incredibly useful little free app, MemReduct. One-click RAM cleaner. I restart my computer for updates only these days.

- This will fix and repair most screen burn-in on TVs and computer displays if played for at least 1 hour.utopian
- This can fix image retention on TVs and computer displays if played for at least 1 hour. Fixing screen burn-in with a video is a myth.sted
- but anyway, look for one with RGB flashing, it is much more efficient.sted

5. Staying socially connected with friends and family reduced the risk of depression by 18%.
6. Never smoking was associated with a 20% decline in risk.
7. Sleeping seven to nine hours each night on average lowered the risk of depression by 22%.The researchers found that individuals who followed at least five of these wholesome habits enjoyed a remarkable 57% decline in depression risk compared to individuals who followed one or none.

chat-gpt just made me this plugin to temporarily get round the final boss youtube adblock until i find a better solution
it's very simple, just loads the video embed in an iframe (like it would be embedded on QBN) but does it within the youtube site
worked out a few bugs but i imagine there will be plenty more (vids with embedding disabled etc.) but does the job for me

- I get a 404bulletfactory
- Oh weird, Im guessing that's due to the anon repo I set upkingsteven
- https://file.io/eXTs…kingsteven
- this version is v buggy on anything but vanilla YT urls. did some small updates on my version last night...kingsteven
- I've also been through the YT/Google/App Store terms and don't think this is against ToS so I may try and publish and seekingsteven
- IDK if they plan to roll out ad block block on the embedded player... Id say that would piss off a lot of creators, but this is a v obvious workaround...kingsteven
- Thanks King. I've downloaded it. Umm what do I do with the .js files in the folder? I went to look at your page again for instructions but its gone.HAYZ1LLLA

newer versionkingsteven - just open manage extensions, enable, developer mode and click "load unpacked" and select the folder (wherever you want to put it)kingsteven
- its still working well, i changed it to position the player absolute above the existing youtube player which works more reliably but occasionally when youtubekingsteven
- decides not to block me it plays the video behind. so just remember how to switch it on and off!kingsteven
- i should really figure out a better way to check if the video has been loadedkingsteven
- Thanks for the clarity. All installed okay but as you say, doesn't work on any of the videos I've watched yet as they all have ads during, not at the start.HAYZ1LLLA
- yeah, they seem to have made the change to only block pre-roll recently. i was really hoping the ad blockers would have sorted it out by now.kingsteven
- twitch has had a war against blockers for years now, there's not a month goes by where they don't adjust their code to break the ad blockers...kingsteven
- i guess YT will employ a similar technique (make it such a pain in the ass to block that you just take the ads)kingsteven
- Yea or buy YT Premium.HAYZ1LLLA
- haha, never. i'm finding it just works to turn the blocker off and on now which is fine without the plugin.kingsteven

Open source graph/data viz web app. Load your data sources in and pick your graph type/s. It spits out svgs so you can make them look how you want with vector editing tools. You can also grab the whole project off github and run it locally - handy if graphing confidential data (it runs browser side anyway but good nonetheless).
No more shitty Illustrator or Excel graphs
