hey netizens! i’m not sure how many people are aware, but youtube’s been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can’t be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you’re a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!
reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3
also: people are spreading misinformation in the comments saying it’s only affecting chromium-based browsers, this is absolutely not true as i discovered this as a firefox-only user! according to multiple news reports it seems they’re slowly rolling this out to every user on every browser! i know it’s tempting to wanna lord over the other browsers wherever possible but even us firefox users aren’t immune to corporate bullshittery.
Another visual demonstration that historical clothing wasn’t dingy and monochrome.
All of these colours can be obtained from vegetable dyes, producing different shades depending on what mordant (colour fixative - alum, different metal filings, different vinegars) was used. See here and here for examples.
BRING THIS FASHION BACK.
Not clothes, but this was a palette developed by the National Museum of Denmark based on paint residue from archaeological finds for the purpose of painting a reconstructed hall.
Apparently, they can tell from the chemical composition that the colours
wouldn’t be mixed with black or white to mute them, but be used in
their brightest form. Bright yellow and red was achieved with expensive dyes (orpiment
and cinnabar) and was thus fashionable. (Source in Danish)
