There may be gaps every now and then in block lists of ad blocking solutions, but besides that, you are using the wrong ad blocker. abp is not to be trusted to reliably block all ads it could. It has a different mission than uBlock Origin.

Yep, this. I was delighted they implemented this simple yet powerful idea. I don't even remember when I have needed to go to a second page of search results in Kagi and spammy clone sites which copy stack exchange verbatim are banned i

In this case they assume correctly that it is enshitification. A search engine, that doesn't understand what hypertext and the web are supposed to be is shit. There are no good reasons to not have proper links. Whoever creates such web

You could be blocking specific third-parties. I know I do. Site owner could load from other party, that you happen to have whitelisted for example. Or site owner could use first party scripts for that, feeling smug showing their anti-ad-blo

Do you think a regular user knows how to block a specific website or never click a link leading to it again? And what about the ads people, adding such a thing if you don't load their ads? I think this point of view is making it a bit

Which is also, or at least has also been a culture thing, because of the "Oh no, we can't possibly do the computation of all that on our backend! Yikes! Let that run on every single client instead! Let users spend their own comput

I think any framework that aims to support desktop and mobile frome the same code per view/screen is doomed to either make one of those two awkward to use, or alternatively become itself very complex to use. The most advanced in this a

The last time Windows UI felt native was maybe Windows XP. Maaayyybe 7, if we are generous. It also has to do with sluggish or no feedback by UI widgets, due to the trend of flat everywhere.

If you were so kind to point out, where I used media queries to hardcode viewport width ... "bro".

I think we actually don't disagree there, but we have a different understanding of the term "server-side". Anything related to security must happen on the server since safety measures in scripts running client-side can be def

I have not run into cross-browser differences in a long time. That is differences, that actually mattered and for which I would have had to build any workaround. I have built several websites recently, using vanilla HTML and CSS and solved

Nowadays though, that old way is working very well, because of all the things that were added to HTML and CSS, making things, which used to be annoying or difficult mostly easy.

Then again one should aim to not even need media queries and make things responsive intrinsically, breakpoint-free, continuously. A design where things jump at hard coded viewport widths is not actually a great design. So at least that part

Consistently collecting pennies also won't do. Both is needed. It needs to hurt the business in violation, and it needs to be consistent.

Another tool, that I used in the past (though not for business, because the license is ridiculously expensive) is yed graph editor. Out of all the tools I have ever used for making diagrams, it remains the one that is the most precise, good

I think it matters especially this early, to demonstrate that the legislation is a serious matter, not to be taken lightly and ignored.

If the severity of punishment for violations was high enough, we would only need very few example cases, before it stops.

Yes, that's what I mean. I have used open source software before, and deployed it and so on, but no one has ever offered me to work 1 day a week or something like that during my job hours on an open source project, contributing somethi

Syphoned off a lot more data to Samsung though, further supporting and enabling their ugly business practices.

I mean, containers are working fine like that. Choose any hoster you want, either specifically supporting docker deployment or bare metal and host your containers. It's just that many tools come with bad images or bad documentation on

Rather feels like post LLMs being everywhere, salary levels for developers are dropping left and right. Where did we gain value?

The complaint here is, that those business are not necessarily "bringing people into the community", unless you are talking about passive users, who do not contribute. The businesses simply use the stuff built at no cost to rake i

I think people getting time sponsored working on FOSS is quite rare. Would like to do that myself, but instead I just develop in my free time.

I think often it takes time to build relationships with others, so that they can love you back. And that is much easier, when you have a lot of money. What's more is, many people looking for a partner are looking for a social step upwa

For a non-golang-user, what have they done to the language in that regard?

This has the disadvantage though, that this user level gitignore file will not be in the repo, which means that other less careful contributors have to fix ignoribg for themselves.

It is easy to do a rebase, adding more files to an already pushed commit. It is impossible to be sure, that no one has read already leaked secrets. Err on the side of caution.

I don't like them, because they contain all sort of crap, that never even enters my projects, but they don't include things they should include, like the silly ".vscode" folder so many people commit without thinking. Als
