Firefox on Android has uBlock Origin. I think Kiwi and other browsers allow it too. No idea about Chrome or anything.

I think it's quite situational, but I quite agree. I also find that when you do this and get into a conversation with somebody who does this, the back-and-forth also just bloats up and gets bigger and more multi-faceted as the convers

I've been using some Leopold mechanical keyboards for 10 years now. I've had one dead keyswitch and one chattering one, and both were extremely easy replacements, needing just a little bit of soldering. I've been preaching t

Too bad SQLite didn't exist at the time. It would be a pretty good candidate for something like that without eating bogs of memory for large documents. To be fair to the Office team of the day, when your company also develops the compi

I use uBlock Origin. I'm just saying that I see blocking ads and strong arming disgusting companies into losing some of their ill-gotten profits as not much of a bad thing. I don't see any way that ABP existing is worse for the en

What about the outcome of a generation that watched nothing but reality TV, Fear Factor, and prank shows? Not disagreeing with you entirely, but I don't think it's scary, because it's nothing new to have swaths of people exc

I wouldn't. Both goals of maximizing profit and achieving a goal on a minimal possible budget end up cutting costs in places that aren't immediate blockers, where security lies. In my experience, security is a focus at places, eit

I think the point is that many of the advantages cited in the article don't actually depend on alcohol, and others are really dangerous. It's akin to the BDSM analogy if there was an article about BDSM where points were "you

The big selling point of Rust in respect to these kinds of scenarios is that it's very often that a C or C++ library says things like "You must not call function CallAfterFoo before function Foo is called", or "Once you

Out of the hockey fans I know, only the really casual watchers are interested in fights and checking at all. The big fans are way more interested in the strategy and statistics and many of them are annoyed when a big fight breaks out and w

Nope; scientific pitch is entirely an equal-temperament tuning. The only thing it does is makes it a bit easier to remember and calculate specific pitches.
