WhrRTheBaboons commented on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update   0x44.xyz/blog/web-request... · Posted by u/deryilz

I love Firefox, I've bee using it for as long as it exists and Netscape before that. It's Mozilla I have a problem with. Mozilla has allowed itself to become controlled opposition rather than the aggressive underdog that it should be. Lots of the money they take in that could go to improving Firefox is spent on stuff I could not care less about. There is no way to earmark funds sent to Mozilla as 'browser only'.

Ultimately the issue is allowing Google to skirt around anti-monopoly rules by throwing money at Mozilla. Can't really blame the latter for cashing in when the rules fail at enforcing a competitive environment.

Hate the game, not the player, basically.

As someone from Europe, I’ve never experienced US salaries. Go figure.

I've been using this for a few months and really like it.

Pros:

  - Simple configuration and built-in keyboard shortcut daemon.
  - Performs very well; no animations, nothing to get in your way.
  - Workspace switching is excellent, doesn't use Windows' built-in system, and each monitor has its own set of workspaces
  - Draws a border around the active window.  This is huge.  I can't tell which window has focus without this and it's essential with focus change shortcuts.
  - Can move the cursor to the newly focused window, minimizing mouse movement.
  - Makes me happy.  That's rare on Windows.
Cons:

  - Doesn't handle DPI changes or laptop dock/undock well.  I usually have to restart.
  - whkd gets stuck occasionally and requires restart.
  - Polyform Strict license is a little unusual; I hope the author stays committed.

Do you really do this, and is striking out a line of a contract binding?
WhrRTheBaboons · a year ago
(EU perspective) it is binding. you just add both parties' initials/signature on the margin of each line that was changed.

It's funny. I lost tens of thousands of dollars thanks to this individual, yet his sentence brings me no joy or arouses any emotion at all. I'm utterly indifferent to his fate for some reason and I don't know why. Yet if he had been a mugger who stole a much smaller amount of money from me on the street, I think I would've been far more vengeful.

Should I feel vindictive? Or is it healthy to forget about it and move on? I'm not sure.

WhrRTheBaboons · a year ago
revenge is a sword without a handle. it also hurts the wielder

it might not be "fair", but forgiveness is healthier for you

Never demo anything unrehearsed, or where you cannot predict the outcome with a very high level of confidence

I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.

https://github.com/ankane/blazer

No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

Blazer sounds cool, thanks for the link!

which will only continue to convince people if the technology stays safely locked away in possession of a single corp.

if it were opened to public faking such videos would lose (nearly) all of its power

"allowing military use"

That would actually increase their standing in my eyes.

Not too far from where I live, Russian bombing is destroying homes of people whose language is similar to mine and whose "fault" is that they don't want to submit to rule from Moscow, direct or indirect.

If OpenAI can somehow help stop that, I am all for it.

Here's a gem of educator. Check out his other videos.

easier said than done

3b1b's main selling point is the extreme level of polish on his visualizations - something that takes a lot of time (money) to develop

the sad part is that it takes extreme luck to make it on yt. i wish educating skills counted for more but unfortunately they don't, really.
