The only reason I occasionally use an adblocker is to try to experience the web how what seems like a sizable subset of users experience it, for that shared experience. Honestly, the two don't seem that different in most cases outside

I have the same experience. Most of the stuff I watch [1] is a lot less "meme-y" than I imagine the typical YouTube video, but I almost always check the comments and find either useful and/or funny comments. It's a loooo

One small tip I'd offer is... try chewing gum next time you're in VR. I have almost 3,000 hours clocked in VR according to Steam and there are still a few games that can make me nauseous (mostly those with poor locomotion and&#x2F

This might be specific to my tastes, but most of the games I play don't really have an "end" to playthroughs (and for the ones that do, it's very rare that I dedicate the time to play it start to finish without taking br

The big difference with Game Pass is that the $10 gets me all those games just for that month, whereas my Steam library is full of games I've bought over the years, usually for <$10/each. If I were to have paid $10/mo over

To be fair, nowhere in the US (that I'm aware of) is close to the % population vaccinated numbers necessary for a semblance herd immunity. According to the CDC, only 62% of the US is fully vaccinated, with only 35% of those also having

I was living in Ireland for a little while and wanted to watch Game of Thrones. At the time, piracy was literally the only possible way to watch it; there was no legal avenue whatsoever (including purchasing cable from HBO, etc) that includ

I do not. They animate (fading a little bit), but they don't swap, even after a bunch of page reloads. Turns out the swap is disabled if you have a touch screen.

You can't search/filter for anything other than type-of-app/game. In fact, they added the tags for ads/IAPs and hoicked them to the top of the page, rather than sticking them with the rest of the app metadata below t

Thanks for the recommendation! I've mostly been thrust into React, which works for what I need but I definitely don't enjoy it. I'll give Vue a shot!

Given that they already highlight ad-free apps, prominently display ad-or-no-ad statuses at the top of every app detail page, curate specifically-ad-free lists of recommended apps, and use "ad-free" verbiage as a selling point to

My favorite thing about Tailwind is all the sites that offer copy-and-paste components, ready to use (since you already have all the CSS, you just copy HTML-and-classes and it looks exactly how you'd expect). Sure, you can pay for Tail

by drusepth 5y ago
To be fair, one of the big perks of Tailwind (IMO) is not having to have a big ol' folder of CSS that you have to figure out what applies where in HTML, but rather just having all your styling inline (while still staying consistent, wh

Seems pretty trivial to eventually add, compared to trying to enforce correctness on results from user-provided tags in titles. I'm a little surprised you can't search for "no ads" apps outside of e.g. Pass listings, but
