Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
  • Lite is barely relevant for Firefox anyway. Gorhill (along with host list maintainers) is one of the saints of modern day open source; if he felt overwhelmed by Mozilla's actions, and chose to just take Lite down from the extension store, he has every right to. No one should shit on someone who has given so much to the community.

  • Mozilla's massive lapse in judgement causes clash with uBlock Origin developer
  • Performance wise they should be identical, what matters is how many lists you have enabled, etc. If anything, performance-focused list management will result in more performance with ordinary uBO. Either way, gothill is a legend

    Edit: I'm wrong, apparently Lite can be faster on android after all

  • Linux middle ground?
  • My thoughts exactly. It may take more time to set up (I, for example, never got my laptop speakers working when I installed it there), and it may not have as much hardware support (a shitty old HP pre-built was giving me ACPI errors and refusing to boot; and yes, I had updated the BIOS), but update-wise, it's super stable, but also quite up-to-date. It's not crazy (kernel updates take some time occasionally), but it's a great experience, and the inclusion of runit is fantastic. Hearty recommendation.

  • What is your favorite movie of all time?
  • The Bagdad Café. It's not exciting, or romantic, or tragic, or even that funny. But it's beautiful. God I love that film. It seriously has some of the best acting, directing, and writing I've ever witnessed. Second would probably be Casablanca/Lawrence of Arabia/Pulp Fiction/Eight and a Half/......

    Edit: also black cat white cat Edit: Pane e Tulipani Edit: Buster Keaton's The Cameraman

  • What happened to Anonymous? Why at this time they are not doxxing websites, leaking stuff, or shutting down porn websites?
  • As a angry, nihilistic teenager: very fucking true. I am literally the only techy guy in my posh bullshit private international school (in Europe so affordable). The only other dude who uses Linux (I'm using that as a bare minimum for "techy") isn't into programming or reverse engineering shit even remotely. I'm all alone (apart from all my non-technical friends). I suppose that's where the nihilism comes from...

  • Size Comparison: Pluto and Australia
  • Discreetly insulting both Australia and Pluto in one sentence! Absolutely love this; will share it with all my Australia and Plutonian friends! If Earth gets attacked, it's not my fault, but yours :'P

  • Users of Vim and similars, what exactly makes it useful compared to other text editors? How much time do you suppose you save when working with it?
  • I do most of my work on my laptop, which has a really shitty touchpad (a system76 pangolin 12). Using the touchpad to scroll, move around, etc. feels clunky and frustrating. Using my wonderful keyboard feels amazing, quick, and responsive. Honestly, that's the main reason I use neovim; touchpads, especially bad ones, just feel clumsy, imprecise, and inefficient.

    Now I've gotten used to typing nv and, in under 30 milliseconds, getting a full-featured, LSP-supporting text editor. Other editors trigger my impatience now 😂. The features are secondary to me, they're not what makes nvim great.

    If there were two things that are a game changer for me though, they would probably be <C-o> (mixed with plugins like trailblazer) and the incredible ease of use that vim macros offer.

  • I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.
  • The topic is bloatware, not games. Very different. When it comes to gaming, the hardware costs are a given (for the sake of innovation, as you put it); but when it comes to something fundamental to your computer—think of the window manager or even the operating system itself—bloat is like poison in the hardware's veins. It is not innovation. It is simply a waste of precious resources.
