It feels like you are missing the point on purpose. I don’t know why, this feels like laziness.

Criticizing the existence of billionaires and being antiwork are two different things. And being antiwork is different than wanting to do nothing. No one wants to do nothing, except in cases of major depressions.

A lot of antiwork post can lack depth but there are really interesting criticism to be made about work as it’s organized these days. I suggest you dig the subject.

Why would anyone use a browser that requires you to login, especially after that: https://kibty.town/blog/arc/

Just Hi-rez being Hi-rez. They have a long history of shutting down games. I’m never getting any game from them anymore.

Be careful and keep a backup, I’ve read so many stories of Apple deleting people music randomly.

For system wide DNS blocking you only have two options: use a DNS server with blocking (either your own with something like a piHole our a public one) or use the hosts file.

Got you, 5 servings of fries a day it is.

How do you know?

I can’t, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:

But it’s also true that sometimes it’s not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.

You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.

That being said I’ve seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.

My next phone is definitely going to be a Pixel for this reason. But my current one is not even 6 years old so I’ll wait a bit.

It has some deal breaking limitations:

• No filter list that can be updated, you have to update the whole extension to update filters. This adds delay as it has to go through Google verification process, they could even refuse some updates.
• Not every type of rules are available on MV3, so it has to drop some filters.
• No CNAME-uncloacking.

While the code being open is good you still have to rely on trust.

I certainly don’t have the time to review to code of each extension I use. And even then, we have no garanties that the extension distributed through the browser stores has the same code.

You can see the issue was opened on august 18th but the responsible commit was only made on the 19th. So the code was pushed the extension users before it was made available on the repository. Open code is of no help here.

It just showed the developer is not to be trusted.

This seems sketchy : https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796

I agree, there are a bunch of annoying limitations. But it’s better than nothing. To me the best vim based browser is qutebrowser, too bad it’s using chromium.

I don’t think it’s the same source code (uBOL vs uBO). And it’s definitely not the same logic, that’s the whole point, blocking with MV3 must be done in a declarative way.

They do kill uBlock Origin. The Lite version is a different extension.

Yes but that’s not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can’t update it’s blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.

How does it compare to tridactyl?

You are right that there are underlying causes that needs to be addressed. That’s why it spread so much and so fast. But that doesn’t make racially motivated fake news OK.
