"I'll take International Politics for $200 Alex"

"The answer is YES!"

Is it "Are we the baddies?"

So far from your behavior - a 1 day old account with its only issue to accuse the original developer - seems to stick. Maybe that's a clue to how you've handled this?

still has issues to this day that haven't been resolved - https://tane.dev/2021/02/revisiting-dark-patterns-with-the-h... - of course these can be implemented in any framework but this makes is much easier - at the platform level - to make a browser unusable, and as it's platform it's of course never been fixed.

You can have fun with web components (https://tanepiper.github.io/webc-humour/) but from my experience trying to build UIs with them - they end up becoming an additional abstraction that instead of just using a framework to build the entire experience, it creates annoying boundaries of having to deal with DOM attributes instead of just working with properties.

Yep and I hate it. I'm in several teams in my org and to find certain repos - the never show up in the sidebar quick search and 1 click - instead it's now Settings -> Teams -> (find team) -> Click on Repos -> (find the repo)

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought exactly the same...


The web is becoming very hostile to ad blockers. I use a VPN and I've noticed more and more sites just being obnoxious with their popups and even just crashing the site completely in a loop (looking at you EuroNews)


It doesn't solve everything but the 'full' desktop version of the ublock origin plugin runs just fine in Android on Firefox. I can't even imagine using any other mobile browser now. I don't know what the situation is for iphone platform stuff these days.


and f.e. brave on ios


If a site doesn’t let me see it with my ad blocking enabled, I just go elsewhere.


This Even skimming the web could take up 1000X the hours I have in a day, and I really should spend more time exercising, and reading books, and with friends and family, and volunteering, and ...


Try firefox, as chrome puts restrictions on what adblockers can do


I suspect it's not a real crash you're seeing, but rather a deceptive anti-adblocking script that redirects to a page that fraudulently claims to be a crash.


It literally says on the mod page "Voiced by Matt Berry"


Ok, now that I rewatch the video (I lost interest pretty quick), Matt Berry is the minor role... I thought the reference was to the main voiceover.


Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the voice over in the video is Swedish world strongest man winner Magnus Samuelsson.


There are two VOs by Matt berry during the video. There’s more than one voice.


Yeah lmao, I get that.


I tried their new "survival" EVE Frontier game - oh boy was that disappointing.


What a shame for Cursor. I found it a great tool - I actually liked Composer 2.5; but now being bought by SpaceX has for a while left a bad taste - and they keep pushing Grok and now GrokBot.

I took the 50% discount instead of cancelling - but with this I'll likely not renew.

So sad to watch them go from great to mediocre in such a short time.


Didn't Kamprad have some pretty strong ties to the Nazi party? Yet you have a bad taste in your mouth because Cursor gets bought by SpaceX!

Virtue signaling in glass houses...


Sorry why are you mentioning Nazis? I didn't - I think the lady sockpuppet doth protest too much...


Perhaps now they'll release a 3.0 MechaHitler version


Have to agree - if they asked much sooner that would fit the pattern but this cuts out just as the article gets going... Bit annoying
