How are the Grammarly[1] or Honey[2] addons terrible for security? I can guess why you say they're terrible for privacy, but they both mention what data they share on the addon page. So it seems not so much that they are violating user

Well sure; but isn't editing the hosts file easy as well? Unless you lock yourself out of root and would have to boot from a live image. :D LeechBlock has been enough for me, because I mostly just need a reminder to get in the way of m

Right up through "corrupted", I think part of my brain thought this might be a Star Wars reference, referring to a corrupt empire.

Terminology aside, I think the comment was accurate. I think it would have been better to kindly correct any terminology issues you noticed without saying "nobody actually involved with helicopters calls them" twice. For example:

The commenter didn't say anything about where developers live. A very small percentage of the world's software developers live in San Francisco / Silicon Valley, and a very small percentage of the ones who don't are work

I haven't been able to run in the game. I've tried the Run button and double-tapping, both suggested by our friend in the shadows, but nothing is working. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on Firefox 80 on Linux. EDIT: (TLDR

Indeed, that does seem to happen often. Though in GGP's case the reply was posted within a minute of the original comment.
