As a US native, this a thousand times. When I started doing meal prep for an exercise program, and really loading things up with protein, I was surprised at just how little I needed to eat throughout the day to feel satiated and energized

And of course, remember that robots.txt is only a signal to benevolent bots which respect it. If you have secrets to keep, don't put them online in the first place.

I pulled this off too, but the main criteria (and this is NOT a given) was finally landing a job with a consistent schedule. It was not even remotely possible working retail before that, with shifts that varied by day, by week, by whomever

Can't the same offending toots be viewed in Google Chrome? Just screenshot their own browser with the same content they are reporting and ask when they will turn the lens inward. Or, find similar content in Twitter, or Facebook, etc. T

I wonder if there'd be any value in a search engine that recognized popular third-party ad networks and simply did not add to its index any page which includes them. (Or, at least, provided users an option to filter those results out.)

You can also just run the Developer release, which is mostly meant for authoring new extensions, but does respect the about:config flag to disable signature checking. Mozilla is in a tough spot as a browser vendor, since a sizable portion o

Not really. :) This organization operates on a shoestring budget, and I volunteer my time to maintain their backend. On the odd occasion that the layout breaks specifically on an iOS device and resists local troubleshooting, I just borrow m

This right here is why I maintain my subscription even though I do not run the official app. :) Well, that and I mostly watch YouTube on my desktop with an ad blocker, so creators weren't getting ad impressions from me anyway. I figure

On Firefox for Android for example, the vast majority of video playing sites automatically continue to play in the background. YouTube should, but it has code specifically to check for Firefox tabs being backgrounded and pause the player.

To be fair, I do pay for subscriptions for a few YouTubers. Wintergatan in particular is excellent. Of course, many creatives are using Patreon and other external revenue sources and frankly that's wise, given YouTube's track re

I think one of the strongest arguments against view source has got to be advertising. For example, I like to hide distracting elements of web pages so I can focus on the text. Here is the (current) uBlock rule to block the sticky clappy han

I feel the opposite. Maybe it's a matter of the software I use? I find OSX to be clunky and obtuse, filled with notification spam and weird windowing behavior. Linux desktop (Cinnamon in my case) gets out of my way and let's me wo

Ah, no but the exam was taken at a kiosk, not on my personal machine. I had only a few minutes in the room to get myself situated. The camera was USB, so I moved that around while the laptop remained stationary.
