Yeah, better use the linter too, that way it’s limited to 80 characters

Get Pixel Experience or LineageOS. It’s the whole point of having a Pixel phone; you can still upgrade it after it was planned obsolescenced.

Being connected online is advertising intrusion vectors to would-be nefarious actors

Firefox has built-in ads (that you can disable) on the home page.

Not as hot garbage as Brave cryptoscamming and replacing ads with their own and hijacking affiliate links, but it might be of interest if you want to try Firefox.

What Dart looks like when written by ActionScript programmers

Lots of posts where I disagreed at first, but I managed to find an understanding and, I guess, become a slightly better person.

One thing I fucking loved was when u/TotesMessenger snitched on their posts and it created drama. That was glorious, every time.

They only documented it when it came for a non-hateful subreddit and it had lots of upvotes and it wasn’t removed by moderators, except for r/teenagers.

I’m really liking Pop OS! I’d still be using Ubuntu if it wasn’t for Pop tbh. I’ve also had some fun with Elementary OS, but their hostile stance on tray icons is killing my workflow.

Ideological design bullshit shouldn’t get in the way of making a good product tbh.

ReVanced is so much better. It can even block Reddit ads.

That said, giving taxpayer money to private social media businesses is the worst idea ever. In the first place, public money should mean public code.

I don’t even think all apps supported redgifs. I’m making a web app and… how in the fuck am I supposed to support that website? Other image hosts have an extension like .gif in their URL so that’s easy, but what about redgifs? Am I supposed to hard-code something specifically for them? That doesn’t sound right.

Hey, that’s like an IPFS gateway

The “local” sort is full of cats and it’s amazing
