At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.
The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!
It is possible to die from eating spicy food, like this 14 year old in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-chip-challenge-pulled-shelves-teen-death-rcna103906
You’re forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It’s definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.
If Russia blocks security updates, that’s worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.
The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
Absolutely, that’s what I was thinking of when I wrote “tedious”; all the stuff you mentioned matters a lot to the user (or product owner) but isn’t the interesting stuff for a programmer.
[…] a lot of AI companies are “selling dreams” that this tech will go from 80 percent correct to 100 percent.
In fact, Marcus thinks that last 20 percent might be the hardest thing of all.
Yeah, it’s well known, e.g. people say “the last 20% takes 80% of the effort”. All the most tedious and difficult stuff gets postponed to the end, which is why so many side projects never get completed.
And PC Optimiser in other regions.
Lisp variants like Clojure are being used for new projects (e.g. Logseq) but I’d be surprised to hear of anyone choosing COBOL for a greenfield project.
In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!
I’ve been building my music collection since I was ripping CDs by hitting play, recording in Win95 Sound Recorder and running the .wav through LAME (nowadays EAC to flac, of course). I see no need to pay a subscription to listen to my music, when I can just use that same money to buy and own the albums* and not worry about them disappearing.
* also means more money goes to the artist
Also Navidrome + Symfonium means I can still stream to my phone so the only benefit Spotify etc has is new music, but YouTube (+ uBlock) gives me that.
Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I’m talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.
What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.
Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.
Thanks for explaining it, not sure why you’ve collected those downvotes.

The label for the contact’s mother’s sibling’s younger son or father’s sister’s younger son.
I thought it was just a male cousin, but it doesn’t include a cousin who’s your uncle’s son. Which culture needs this?
Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn’t mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It’s noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it’s because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren’t real, or aren’t a problem?
Gotta love the Register
