I've used Firefox as my daily driver for years on a high end gaming laptop and have the same gripe. The dev tools are truly bad. Even outside of dev work, there's sites where I want to hide paywall or login banners by simply setti

I exclusively use private browsing, but I know that doesn't do much in preventing tracking, so it's nice to see this finally starting to roll out. The fact that I have to go to great lengths to browse anonymously - and companies d

I'm also introverted and haven't been to clubs in over 10 years, so can't speak for today's crowd. Despite being an introvert, I pushed myself to socialize. Primary motivation was just being somewhere fun with friends or

Would be cool to see cybersecurity covered here as well. I find it interesting how the machine learning engineer is exploding, but every engineer I talk to about it suggests these positions are mostly doing non-productive "bullshit&quo

Do you mean a life-time $50k? Otherwise an annual deductible of $50k sounds ludicrous. Maybe if they tied it to yearly income, it would make more sense.

This is victim-blaming mentality to a T. I don't understand the goal of your post. What is the solution you're proposing for those things? That they don't use anonymization techniques? They kick out the other people from thei

Hmm not sure I agree. I think we tend to be the centrist group in this duality. We give some flexibility in allowing people to "be themselves" while still holding them accountable to professionalism. I've held many different

I was on one of the core AWS teams. I lasted 3 years and 1 month, to your point hah. I left about a year ago. My stress levels were through the roof during the time I was there. It truly was one of the most toxic stressful places I've

I'm on a project now that requires using Svelte in an enterprise setting. I've used all the big 3 (Angular, React, Vue) and then some (Ember, AngularJS) and I can say without a doubt, Svelte is my least favorite of them all by far

I think the chances of a vulnerability being leveraged in your scenario is extremely low. For a machine connected to the network, the longer it goes without patching, the higher the chances of a security incident

If you don't care that a random person can get remote access to it, then no, I don't think you're "losing" anything. The biggest issue is no protection from 0-day security vulnerabilities, which Microsoft patched a

I am also a relatively happy proton user (now, but wasn't always this way). I second this. Based off the site, it looks like Mullvad passed a real world test too, Proton has not. I haven't tried Mullvad in a couple of years, but t

Your post is actually very helpful, but comes across as harsh and condescending. I think you should reconsider how you approach this. EDIT: to be more specific, language like "You complain" and "You also didn't understan

Seems to be one of those issues like NSA mass surveillance, which transcends party lines and remains supported by most politicians. Kudos to my senator Ron Wyden though, he's been a true champion of opposing both of those things.

I believe in Thiel's eyes, MAGA and "the left" are equally inferior groups of society. He's simply using MAGA as a vehicle to implement his plan and convince other like-minded elites to support him. If you listen to some

I don't think they care about the citizens either. That's not the point. I'm sure others have their own interpretations, but everything I gather from Thiel's books, podcasts, interviews, etc suggests that he believes he&

It will absolutely get worse. We're still in the beginning stages. The amount of information on this plan from Peter Thiel, Vance, Curtis Yarvin, etc is abundant by now. They talk about their "vision" for a technofeudalism so

Do you even need Fakespot anymore for Amazon? I think we can fairly assume that whatever is purchased on that platform will be junk. I rarely purchase anything from Amazon these days except protein bars or items I treat as disposable. More

We bought one and it lasted almost exactly 10 years. When it came time to replace it, I was also sad to discover that it was a short-lived item and they moved on to something else. We ended up going with Sleep Number because that was the fi
