Speaking against hate. Saying to be wary of extremism and Holocaust. Horrors!

This kind of lunatic censorship that matches anything we ever made fun of China for is the reason why there isn't anything coming out of Hollywood worth watching. Doesn't even have to do with all the theaters being closed forever and the budgets going down to a hundredth of what they were, though that doesn't really help.

The good news is that she's leaving a profession with no future.

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” she wrote.

Another photo on Carano’s Instagram story featured a person with several masks covering their face and head with the caption: “Meanwhile in California.”

THAT is what got her fired? What the fuck is 'abhorrent' about that? She should have just fucked a kid and threatened to kill cops to stand with BLM then she'd be the leading role in the next top Hollywood film.

Thanks for the response. I may take it for a test drive in a VM and see how I like it. As far as ad-blocking goes, can always use an ad-blocking VPN... I know a guy offering just that. Ha!

I've added to my list of "things to check out" so I'll try to get around to it this week.

Biggest issue is that there isn't a feature rich adblocker. A basic one is included, but that's it. Other than that, it takes a different mindset. For example there is no build-in password manager. You're supposed to integrate your preferred tools yourself. I like that customization aspect of it. For example opening video links directly in mpv or even downloading videos directly.

Entering text is somewhat cumbersome because of different muscle memory I have from previous browsers. You need to be in 'insert mode', just like in vim, to enter text. Or set up an external editor for that. Clicking inside a textbox brings up a cursor, but you need to press 'i' to start 'insert mode'. Clicking inside the same textbox while being in 'insert mode' takes you out of it again, which makes copy/paste a little annoying.

I'd completely move over to it, if it wasn't for heavy lifting adblocking having become a necessary, though. Last time I checked, extension support was something planned for the future. Not sure how far this has gotten. I'm on an LTS distribution that doesn't have up to date versions of qutebrowser. I meant to switch to a rolling-release one, but haven't done so, yet.
