Hm, interesting. Did you report this to their bug tracker? They're quite responsive and cases like this help them finding edge cases. My biggest use-case, youtube, works great, and most other sites work as well.

Different tech, different failure modes. > it sometimes renders wrong Is close to equivalent.

I think for the feature of wrapping, it is useful enough + just typing a->backspace->" is easy enough that I think it's a net win

It does work tho. Just not consistently lol

Really all I wanted was uBlock and that works. That being said, after being my daily driver for almost a year, I went back to safari about a month ago with Wipr. 3x speedup and battery efficiency. Unfortunately, it became buggier instead of

Ads of that kind tell me they need ads, which tells me they’re probably not doing too well, so I’ll avoid them

For what it’s worth, any beta I’ve tried out in the past slurped my battery and made my phone act like a hand warmer.

We're just going deeper and deeper into attention-grabbing displays; we now even have ANIMATED screens next to the ROADS in the Netherlands. Flashing, showing texts like "WATCH OUT! We have a new product!". I have epilepsy. I

Nah, you did. They just gladly facilitated your tendency to procrastinate. At any moment you can decide to not use them. I know it’s hard, struggling with it myself. But don’t act defeated, you aren’t a victim. You’re free in your actions.

Next time you see a digital ad display, look for the little black circle on top of it. Yes, they do. Feel free to put a sticker over it.

Could you elaborate?

Why not, actually?

FYI long-form is possible since a few years, and actively used by a lot of people.

Absolutely! Speculate all you want. If, however, you want to speculate anything other than what I’ve clearly stated (I have nothing against Trans people + I don’t want to go on another unrelated/irrelevant detour) plus the fact I have

Oh wow, didn’t know that. I never left X but saw a lot of talk about BS when the transition happened. I just assumed it was a clone of Twitter with mostly the people who left. That sucks tho. I’m not against other places existing if it make

Nice. Good discussion.

by jeffhuys 1y ago
That seems to be a fair summary of what I’ve said, yes. I’ve already gone too far, as evidenced by us even having this discussion. I don’t want to discuss such private matters with you, here. I’ll have to explain myself over and over again

They go to the bottom, behind a button you have to press to reveal them.

I think this might be a reaction to the previous moderation which seemed to be extremely biased. The moderation that’s currently in place seems much less so, however some people seem to argue it’s now the same, just the other way around. In

This is not something I want to discuss here, as we’re completely off-topic already. Rest assured I have nothing against Trans people.

That seems like a weird take. If 80% of the internet is spam (which it very well could be), is spam the internet? I guess censorship is a popular thing now on HN. Never thought I would see all you people advocating FOR censorship. I’m happy

I actually doubt that. Also.. I want to know: people say that Tesla owners should sell their card if they don’t want them keyed. Who should they sell them to?

It’s interesting to me that we can have such different views of the same platform. “Garbage”. “Supersewer”. I simply don’t see what you mean. Of course there IS garbage, but you’d actively have to seek it out. You’d have to scroll down all

I’ve already addressed the first part of your comment in another comment. I don’t think there’s a million things you can’t say. I see tons of posts criticizing Elon. But I also see tons of people defending him in replies. This is what we s

I’m very capable of that last statement actually. It’s also called “being a conspiracy theorist” if you do so with people/entities that others agree with. You could also turn it around - so if you support Israel and be outspoken in sup

I’ve never mentioned “because it’s a US company” so I’ll ignore that part of the message. Sticks & stones is a general thing that’s missing in a lot of people nowadays. Trying to protect everyone from bad words will only make them react

I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

by jeffhuys 1y ago
Are you banned? Is your post deleted? No? Then it’s not censorship. Again, if you don’t match with the vision, don’t use the platform. But you have to accept that the platform exists, is very popular, and allows free speech, and you can’t c

I would like not to be talked to that way, but I agree that it shouldn’t be a bannable offence (which it isn’t). But this comes down to opinion. Would love to discuss the 99% other content of my comment though.
