You show a small banner on the page, with 3 options: accept, reject optional and configure. Configure explains each thing and lets the user opt in to specific things. It is quite simple really. And if you only track necessary information, y

But the population that blocks (opt-out) telemetry is likely low, at least that is what I would assume. So I don't think it makes a big impact

I use an extension that lets me quickly jump to bookmarks and have a bunch of yt speed bookmarklets (named 1.25x, 1x, 2x etc) and it is so nice to quickly change playback speed with the keyboard

Calibre DRM busting is great. It is also what I do when adding any ebook to my library.

"Optimize" as though most end user software is optimised. It is just written without much thought for perfomance most of the time

If you rely on default config uBO just works, but if you go furthur in blocking things (or add third party filters) tinkering may be required for certain webpages (or a lot depending on how hard you go)

With that display you can totally block or allow (sub-)domains on the current website (or all websites) so it does have some power, but it is not as powerful as the the scripts which allow much more granularity

How is it not liberating to not be dependant on another human being for everything?

The point is that the bikers that decide to use it are safe. That it can encourage more bikers and take cars off the road. The fact that some bikers so not use it does not invalidate the usefullnes of a bikelane

They do e2e to other skiff users, but given that the majority of your mail probably goes to none skiff users, what are you gaining?

I don't think this is necessarily true. Big chaos score means that the hiring manager is basically free to hire whoever they want with no verification, but that does not mean that they do not keep their engineers in check. Google has l

You don't have to change the world, but if no one tries to change things that are bad, they will not change. So don't have a defeatist attitude all the time, but once in a while try to actually have an impact. We will all be much

No, if reddit does that they lose a giant amount of traffic. And reddit search sucks they should improve it first if they want that. But also for many things you do not necessarily search for reddit but just search a question and reddit tur

I still won't entirely understand where Appolo's 20Million figure comes from. As far as I understand all the outrage is because of what the Appolo dev published, but reddit seems to claim that even for third party apps they get 10

The commenter explains why that is and instead of reacting to his argument you are implying that it is just Europens who want to regulzte Americans while it is clearly not the case. Not every monopoly is created equal and if you can not ack

I agree they should be forced to offer office on Linux. It is one of the things that really keeps Linux down for normal people. Why should they not be able to offer ads in their own products though? I don't like ads but I do not immedi

Problem is that NSFW is used as a general content warning not just for porn. So if all NSFW content is blocked you lose a lot of non porn content too

Do they need to most powerfull gaming hardware? Maybe just the fact that it might get reasonable to play most games on a macbook is enough to get people who also want to game to buy a macbook instead of a windows laptop. And maybe this is e

Very usefull. Many people live outside the city centers (which are very small in Belgium) and use cars to commute. Public transport is relatively good within a city, but if you come from outside the city it can get really bad. 20 min by car

Yup, so Belgium has a lot of weird things like that, but it's really hard to take it away since it's such an important part of salary for many people and taxation is really high so most people are very opposed to losing benefits l

Yeah healthcare is for sure better in EU and so less of a benefit, but I still get additional insurance through my company and most white collar jobs do. It's for the extra costs of hospitalisation such as upcharges for a single room a

Competition. Multiple vendors can compete with RISC-V while ARM can prevent all competition with licenses, if it really will happen is a different case, but I'm optimistic about the potential.

I don't know "the american sense", but benfits are definetely a thing in Belgium. I think like 60+% of engineers get company cars.

Yes the fine should be based on global revenue, but when discussing if this fine actually hurts Meta, you should try to estimate the EU revenue, because it is about if it Meta cares about the fine. If it is a significant part of EU revenue

Reminder that this is revenue, not profit AND it is a fine from the EU so really only EU revenue should be counted when discussing how hard this hits Meta.
