  • Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about Greasemonkey. I went to make a script using your code and it said there was already one available. That script looks like this:

    Edit: Updated script

    (function() {
        'use strict';
    
        var links = document.links;
        for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
            var referer = links[i].href.indexOf('&u=');
            links[i].href = decodeURIComponent(links[i].href.substr(referer + 3));
        }
    
    })();
    
    

    and it worked fine. Then I replaced that code with yours, and it worked just as well. Thanks again.



  • Linus either makes me think he’s a dick, or he makes me laugh. Sometimes both. I liked his response:

    Greg Kroah-Hartman who authored the patch dropping the various maintainers has yet to comment on the mailing list thread, but a few minutes ago Linus Torvalds chimed in with his opinion. Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

    "Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

    It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

    And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

    If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

    As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."




  • is unknown as CTE can only be definitively diagnosed after death.

    So you didn’t look at the second link, the diagnosed after death part. Which was pretty definitive.

    To be fair, I don’t care if grown men want to brain damage themselves. I enjoy watching both boxing and MMA. I don’t think it’s something younger people should be doing though, the head striking at least. At the same time, I’m not going to fool myself that these people I’m watching aren’t damaging their brains.
