My knee-jerk was to compare the benign influence of violent videogames to the radicalizing influence of violent religions.<br/><br/>This may just be my lack of familiarity with Buddhism, but my understanding is they&#39;re generally pretty chill and actually make a positive impact on society. Other religions, not so much. 2026-04-30T17:29:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsz0yt9j78qpxphc7esjxahdya2nqxv9y6lk203jyuym9jgpkavz8qzyr8rm5m5z54np6lg9hdw290st429mxtd6lx2n0m9yan9x8xax39yswfntgc By work computer, I mean one that you have very limited control over - can&#39;t install anything, or add extensions, etc.<br/><br/>For example, there used to be a trick where you could run a Bing search of a YouTube URL and the results would include an embed of the video but with Bing&#39;s own video player, and something about that made the ads not work. Which was great - ad free YouTube on a computer I can&#39;t install ad blockers on!<br/><br/>That doesn&#39;t seem to work anymore, but makes me wonder if there are things like that - just little roundabout tricks to make the experience less trash, on a rig where my options are limited to what&#39;s already there.<br/><br/>Asking about any tricks, not just YouTube or ad related ones (but those too if you know any!).<br/><br/>Thanks all! 2026-04-26T15:27:46Z
