They are usually broken because Google often pushes shady obfuscated updates. IIRC the OFFICIAL "Personal Blocklist" was broken for a long time due to this. AFAIK there's still no way to block entire TLDs. So basically Google

One more reason for Google being a very scammy advertising company (they stopped being a search company years ago): You can not blacklist entire TLDs, just individual subdomains. Thanks to ICANN (and others?) there is hundreds of TLDs that

I can not believe nobody mentioned: APNG is (can be?) lossless. You have to lose a lot of quality in GIF to get reasonable filesizes. APNG gets you lossless quality with decent sizes. Quality sticklers rejoice!

The profiles of Neonazis, weekly complaining about college kids protesting hate speech, the "Cletus Safaris". Yeah NYT isn't what it was anymore. Have you heard about The Most Ignorant Man in America. NYT got it covered. They

Do these hip young companies realize how much historians are gonna be pissed at them? "Paste" "53" or is it "fifthythree"? What happened to being unique? Or even searchable FFS!

Something that's obvious but sometimes overlooked is listening. Some people are just not good listeners. Something to watch out for. Also to summarize the above poster: don't be pushy. And I'll add don't be condescending

Why can't Chinese marketers come up with Western-sounding brand names? This is so annoying. They may be a better value, but European brands give you peace of mind.

Nothing is new man. People are not gonna learn. Can't wait to use the term "AIMd" on "Slack" (what a stupid name BTW) in 10 years.

OK, stop. You've convinced me. Software programmed by attention merchants (advertisers) and IP prostitutes (lawyers) instead of engineers is stupid.

IIRC Russia has entire fake building facades for the upcoming World Cup. The drive to please higher-ups/Putin is quiet strong there. See their election turnout "encouragements".
