Same. The vibe difference between a modern php app and an old php app is so tangible, it makes you constantly appreciate it.

Is it me or does Germany switches (back?) to open-source every few years? I remember being excited they were switching to Linux (or was it Munich?) years ago

That's very much my use case though, all my expenses are on my calendar and I add them all once in a while - so the source is a browser tab, I put the equation in the address bar as I'm reading it inline, then hit enter when I&#x2

DDG except when I need to run a simple math "query" that somehow only Google allows to process (mostly when budgeting, 1+1+1+1+1= - DDG doesn't do anything, Google executes)

I agree with you - however one must remember that it was mostly Firefox (called Phoenix back then) who disrupted the web with tabbed browsing. It's that type of disruptive ideas that Mozilla must foster, not cheap transparent monetizat

It's real odd to be the only alternative to Chrome yet be almost entirely funded by it. Google allows Firefox to exist, and Google can decide it's tired of sponsoring competition tomorrow morning. I don't like that Mozilla

Say it with me: if you deal with crypto, you are a crook. Doesn't matter if you're a regulator or am ICO tycoon, you're a dirtbag hoping to get rich quick.

Plenty of obscure alternatives: LibreWolf, IceWeasel, IceCat, WaterFox, PaleMoon or just ArkenFox.

I remember that split. Felt like Pearl Jam and Nirvana; two great things that existed at once but largely ignored each other apart from the occasional jab when you would ask them about the other. What.cd had Trent Reznor so Waffles can suck

It's certainly not incredible. A crypto company going belly up and fucking over their entire customer base is very very credible.

Nobody moderates a community for free for to obtain fulfillment by having power over other users. You need to talk with people in position of power more. They do get users like you, who will tug at everything they can find even the most out

You try moderating hundreds of thousands of users and caring about every little unique snowflake with an attitude like yours. See which comes first: your burn out or your change of attitude

Your alternative that time is spent explaining in detail every action taken isn't realistic, doesn't scale and doesn't start to consider the fact that it's volunteer work. Especially when the reasons for 100% of the acti

Never, because the subject matter in the sub I moderated was very local (a city sub). It never felt we were enforcing reddit's rules but our own, and so we never felt like we worked for Reddit but for our community. And that's rea

We experienced that too, at a much higher rate. Mods would get blamed for deletions AutoMod would do. Turned into quite a shitshow.

Totally agree. There are great mods then there are people with an agenda. The reputation mods get on reddit is always one of selfish, controlling power-tripping assholes, but for the large majority that's way off. But there's also

I was a mod, this tool is the worst from a mod's perspective. In a sub with 100k-200k people, I would spend all my time telling users why I took action. Instead I take action when content breaks rules, and it's your responsibili

Sure. I have a backup key but yes, you can't get MFA without adding a device that you may lose; whether that's your phone or a key. Like I said I prefer a key because I can't put my phone on a chain around my neck or on my ke
