I do agree with you! Repair guides (and similar how-to's) are one of the genres where the dislikes are actually an indication of the quality of the content. I'm just making an assumption that most of Youtube content that's co

This is a weirdly polarizing topic. I don't think I've ever clicked on the dislike button, personally (but I do click on the like button, occasionally). It would seem like people use the dislike button to signal that "I don&#

Same in Estonia. You use a credit card anywhere locally _only_ when you don't have actual money. Somebody using their credit card once per month for local purchases? It's a sign that they are rather bad at managing their income an

Honest question - why are they there then if not to make money? What other reasons exist for selling NFTs if not to make (quick) money? I'm genuinely curious here :)

Ah, it's nostalgia-a-clock. I worked on Skype for J2ME with a 3-4 person dev team. Custom UI kit, 128x128 screens, 128kb available memory and other fun limitations.. I think we re-wrote our text rendering/styling/wrapping co

I did a prototype for that idea back in the J2ME days when the first phones came out that had accelerometers. It works surprisingly well, provided you have lots of data (multiple cars driving through the same route to average out any random

Pi-hole can only block DNS requests, it won't help against connecting directly to ipv4 or ipv6 addresses.
