- Comment on Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards 1 week ago:
They do but I don’t know if there is a significant conversion from tourism to immigration. I think most tourists are taking advantage of the weak yen, not trying to live there long term.

I don’t doubt some of this stuff happened, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of it is nationalist fear mongering. Just like the whole “tourists are kicking the deer” rumor where no evidence ever surfaced. Some nationalist Japanese really like to stoke the anti-foreigner flames.
But Japan truly does have an over-tourism problem so this could absolutely be justified.

All I know is YouTube has more advanced ad delivery methods than DNS blocklists can filter, so you need client-level blocking. This only works if you use browser plugins or 3rd party client apps. YouTube’s first party app will always have ads.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding.

It’s sad that self-hosting is apparently the path to having a solution that “just works”. You’d think that paying for a product would be more effective, but alas…

Happy to have spiders in my home until I find one in the shower with me. They don’t understand how dangerous the shower is for them; I’ve lost too many good spiders to drowning.
