I loved reader. It was the tipping point for me that made me view every new google product with pessimism and scepticism. It's also amplified by the fact that several products I got invested in (google, youtube, google talk, etc) becam

You would think all it really needs adjustable content moderation levels like search engines do with safe search. Leave it on the highest safety level and allow the user to adjust it accordingly. But I'm guessing not everybody sees &qu

It's funny because they're the underdog in search still but yet these are the tactics they're already pulling out of their hat, and like that all good faith is gone

It's sad but true. I took a remote job from the states when the pandemic hit and I'm never going back to domestic jobs.

job security in software development isn't a problem especially since the pandemic started, if you're working on crappy code its because you're choosing to at this point

in the last decade I don't know when compilation has ever been something I've ever thought about, all modern frameworks for any language just hot code reload for you. although if you're talking about your deploy process being

There was a time back in the IE6 era where firefox didn't really have any market share and adblockers weren't really a thing. The advertising industry was really aggressive even then. Some publishers put as many popups and banner

The problem is they aren't giving benefit of the doubt in channels that are in good standing for a long time with high subscriber/viewership/video counts. The guy has 100k subscribers and fairly active videos that don't

You know its funny how I only see this argument when the service is doing something they agree with. When it's something they don't like there's suddenly outrage. Remember a few years ago ISPs wanting to remove net neutrality

The only solace I have that the only data the webserver will have is activity on that one server rather than all of my activity aggregated and analyzed by google or microsoft.

It is a form of tracking. You're tracking if the user has adblock installed. Many people install adblockers for privacy do because they don't like being a part of data that will never be used in their best interest.

Even if its not a performance or code bloat, its a UI bloat. An unnecessary button that very few people will ever use.

If true, that makes it even stupider. If they're adding even more unnecessary bloat to the browser they should at least be compensated for it.

Adblock extensions block tracking as well as an extra perk, sometimes by default (ublock origin does). Ultimately their tracking script is a metric they're using to help sell their product/agenda to more users anyway, so its a for

My biggest surprise is how this all runs on Microsoft's operating system and Microsoft does very little to nothing to facilitate this as a potential revenue stream. In fact they're just sitting by and watching as the biggest playe
