It seems like you have experienced a lot and that the field you are passionate about has nothing left to offer. Just because you’ve reached the top and there’s nowhere left to go, doesn’t mean that there aren’t thousands of interesting oppo

Who on earth allowed Google to control web standards. Privacy invasion as a web standard ?! How did the world come to this?

I currently block all 3rd party cookies and manually add sites I need to an allow list. Once you have your normal logins, it’s not much hassle. Also have UBO installed to nuke everything else. If a site doesn’t load without cookies I don’t

Nobody asked GitHub to become a social media platform. Why not improve search instead? When I want to find something, I will look for it, and know what I’m looking for. There’s no point in pushing a bunch of random repos in my face with
