Why are you even bothering to type such things? I'm not talking about iOS in this sub-thread. The discussion here is about Safari on macos in the present day, not the effed up macos of the future. Can we just have a…
Hmmm... just tried AdGuard on a couple of high profile web sites using Safari. Sure, Adguard is working to some extent. On the first site - no ads. Whitespace where the ads would have been because content blockers can't…
Ooh. Thanks danaris! I thought I'd already tried AdGuard in the past... but I may be mistaken. Will install today and give it a spin. Ah cool: The Adguard website says that they've just added M1 support. I think M1…
That's been my impression for as long as I can remember. Very puritanical compared to, say, Europe... and yet violence is no problem. I honestly don't think that I'll ever understand what the hangup with nipples is all…
Agree - This GitHub theme is unfortunately too dark. Which is a shame, because I was genuinely excited to read that GH has released a dark mode. I use many dark mode themes and have even created them. The important…
> Clojure and F# are my two favourite languages and I have similar experience Same. I have worked in both F# and Clojure profressionally. I love them both for different reasons. As a fun thought experiment, I have often…
It's just one of those things where the different context between countries doesn't translate well. In the UK, if you say "TCP" everybody knows that you're talking about the antiseptic phenolic liquid that can be used…
Electron contains the Chromium browser code, yes. But you still have to render to that browser. Electron also contains a back-end Node.js process and a bunch of related JS APIs for building and hosting these apps.…
"Consider minimalist browsers like Min ..." Oh! Exciting! I dutifully went to check out the Min browser web page. "Oh shit, it's another Electron app". Noped it out of there.
Disappointed? Not at all! I worked with it many years ago. Whilst WCF made some notable improvements over what existed within the ecosystem before it, it was still a sprawling, complex PITA and full of developer…
Thanks. When you say "without much issue", have you ever lost more than a few hours to "required tinkering" over those years, or was it pretty much plain sailing? Anything else I should take a look at? What would your…
It sounds like a number of things p*ed you off, but what was your biggest gripe with the Apple stuff? Or perhaps it was everything (!).
Excellent! Now the positive news is rolling in :-) Looking at that 7th generation model now. Actually... that looks really nice. And 20.04 LTS would be pretty good for me.
Ahh... good to hear. I have been keeping an eye on the system76 stuff too - not just Dell. For a long time system76 seemed to only make laptops with large keyboards with extra number pads and asymetric mouse pads which…
Thanks. I'm am aware of this. I research this all the time, and regularly come away disappointed. I don't know if I verbalised clearly enough, but I have actively wanted good options for years, and I'm always open to…
Useful figures, so thanks for providing those. It's been a few months since I last looked into the latest prices. I agree with you that it's still worth it. However, I feel that without comparing the OS and tight OS…
I appreciate your positive encouragement and that you took the time to write. I'm glad that you jumped in at the deep end and that it worked out so well for you :-) I'm still not convinced that it would be good for my…
I read through this quickly, but I couldn't find any mention of pair programming not being suitable for sensitive and introverted people - especially those that suffer from anxiety and other mental illnesses that can be…
I have lived in countries where there is no tipping and it works just fine. Better yet, there's no stress around general tip etiquette or simply "did I tip enough". I find it frustrating to read time and time again "but…
Agreed. Furthermore, Google Maps is full of fake reviews with only the option to "Flag as inappropriate" and no option to properly report a fake review with supporting evidence - which I would do, if the option was…
The threat of jail sentences won't always work: The problem is when the calls are made from another country where the law doesn't apply, or else the law is very hard to prosecute across borders.
Thank you! I didn't know this AMP redirect extension existed. Installing immediately!

Woah there! disingenuous? Using the example of life-saving CPR as a "similar" example seems to be extremely disingenuous of you, and I suspect you know why. * CPR - almost universally considered a good & essential thing…
That's potentially fine and easy enough to solve. Simply make "I want to see targeted ads" an opt-in choice, then. I suspect the take-up would be a fairly small percentage of the population, but if it would satisfy your…
