I'm confused, on my stock Android phone, I use Firefox with ublock origin. So the Play Store blocking ad blockers cannot be that effective?

It's not directly a security problem as in your computer is gonna get hacked, but it can ruin your opsec if you don't want people to realize that you're the person controlling a specific key.

I downvoted. "Go is not a general-purpose language" is a statement I could see myself agreeing with, so I started reading your comment excited to read a brief outline of what use-cases Go is specifically aimed at and how that make

Yeah, I don't really disagree. Though, I do feel like a lot of videogame violence is so detached from trying to simulate real-life combat (because it's building on decades worth of genre conventions more than anything) that it&#x2

(I don't really feel like Pokemon is the best counterexample? The bulk of the game mechanics are still about applying violence to an opponent, it's just mediated by cutesy animals instead of guns and the game stops short of callin

I enjoy a lot of videogames that are all about shooting and killing. I also enjoy a bunch that aren't. Yet it makes me sad that in so many games, across genres, the application of violence is the primary lever with which the player can

Not the person you're responding to, but I'd like to add a data point. I try to use Linux where I can (I use it at home and for personal projects). Alas, I work in an environment where MacOS users are prioritized, so sometimes I c

Because we've chronically underinvested in universally useful dependency management tooling, so the state of the art is a jungle of partial solutions that don't compose.

Yeah, it's not great. I figure not being able to display specific things is something people who really need to can work around, but not even being able to find things means surrendering information to the void.

Oof. Organizing the world's information, except the information that's unfortunately stuck in a file format we don't like anymore (for good reasons), that knowledge clearly isn't worth anything. I get disabling Flash sup

fwiw, this has happened to me a few times with fresh twitter accounts. In my experience, if you care enough and have the time, you will probably be able to get support to unblock your account without handing over your phone number. I'm

Surely if your package manager installs firefox into /usr or whatever, it's not gonna be able to update itself either way, right?

Shrug, seems like every application that's not designed to live in debian package repositories from the ground up eventually evolves an updater, or even a package manager for plugins. This hubris isn't unique to google, it's
