Toronto, please don't normalize hit-and-runs.

"She said she didn’t see us. Didn’t see us. She was very, very upset."

The driver did stop and is not expected to be charged.

This makes me furious, but it's completely expected.

Cars are the only weapon where you can kill someone without consequence, even if it was pure negligence or entirely on purpose.

In my persistence to fit Linux in my life, I'm curious if some "must have" Windows software will work better if I just ran a Windows VM within Linux.

None of the software I need to work is needed to work continuously. They are basically programs that I fire up when needed, for a few minutes, then exited.

Wine will install them, but not run them, so I'm hoping a VM is the answer as I'm not interested in dual-booting to run a few Windows programs occasionally.

Also, "identical" has a different meaning here.

There's a special place in hell for the monster who dreamed up this captcha!

I've been trying out NextDNS and comparing it to Adguard DNS (adguard-dns-.io), but unlike NextDNS, Adguard DNS' query log is quite vague, and I can't even tell if it's doing anything.

99% of the listed items in the Adguard DNS query log show up as "Processed", but the request clearly shows either advertiser or tracking as the categories.

It seems that unless I actually click BLOCK, the status doesn't really list these requests as Blocked, except for a very small number.

Is this normal behaviour? I assume any requests showing "processed" but not "blocked" are still going through, which is bad. NextDNS shows these same requests clearly as blocked or not, so at least I know that it's working.

Anyone have any thoughts, or clarification on how it works?

I'm talking about the ads that look like listings, but they have a small "AD" text on the corner.

These ads are often grotesque and offensive, and I'd rather not see them at all.

I've tried various block lists, but it's not removing them.

MORE CONTEXT: Sorry, I should have been more specific!

The gross/offensive ads seem to only be in the Aliexpress app (Android).

On the mobile and desktop browser version, I still get the "AD" listings, but they are of products related to things I've purchased or browse through (all bike related items). I'd like to get rid of those, too, but I guess the ones in the app are the worst type.

I do have Adguard for Android set to filter HTTPS requests from the Ali app, so I figure it's just a matter of finding the right filter. Hopefully, anyway!

The upgraded model has the same low-end adjustability and a wider wide vs the old style. Yet, it's only compatible with 27.5 - 29"?

Typo?

It's been incredibly frustrating to ask for help or share ideas since Adguard killed their official forum.

Marlon Fernando JONES, age 47 from Oshawa is charged with numerous offences including: Aggravated Assault x3, Possess Weapon Dangerous to Public x2, Robbery with Violence, Assault with a Weapon x3, Carry Concealed Weapon, and Possess Schedule I Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking x2.

Mehki Steven HYMAN, age 24 from Whitby is charged with numerous offences including: Aggravated Assault, Possess Weapon Dangerous to Public, Carry Concealed Weapon, Assault with a Weapon, and Possess Schedule I Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking x2.

If baffles me that you stab a half dozen people in separate incidences and NOT be charged with attempted murder.

These two goons are a danger to society. Why even offer bail??

Another win for older tech?
