Is there a way to make the output more familiar to diff users? I've turned on --inline. I also mostly don't care enough about line numbers to want them on every line, so prefer the '<' and '>' leaders.

In case it's useful, here's the solution that worked for me the last time I tried it: 1. Takeout to Google Drive :grimace: 2. rclone from Google Drive But I do this around once a year, and the last few times there are new roadbloc

No, doesn't look like it. (I had to check.)

Ha, this is actually a really good case in favor of not hiring the best people. Any metric you have for estimating "best" will be gameable. Now I'm reminded of https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2019/04/15

You and I lack the imagination to see how those APIs might be hindering revenues. Are you really willing to bet Google will not find a way in the future? I'm not. The need for revenue doesn't just stop. Eventually they'll ret

Oh you better believe it's only currently. At least if they grow as successful as they would like to.

For several months now I refuse to stay logged in to Github. I login on an incognito window when I need something, and log out when I'm done. Github javascript is disabled outside of incognito windows. This is the same playbook I have

That's a good point. Perhaps Firefox will benefit from an embrace/extinguish maneuver for once. Become compatible with Chrome extensions, then take over the space as Google retreats. This path too passes through no longer referrin

I don't know if you're being sarcastic. There's a spectrum between developing for Lua (juggernaut is super friendly), Python (juggernaut is mostly friendly, even if 2->3 caused a lot of casualties), Go (in spite of the cor

Just the framing of "browser extensions" is extremely problematic in the year 2024. Most browser extensions by weight are Google Chrome extensions. Google Chrome is unambiguously demonstrating that no API is safe in its quest to j

Depends on your threat model. If you are concerned about nation state interference, no there's no solution. The power disparity is just too great. Render unto Caesar, etc. My solution is to try to spread my exposure between a small num
