Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
  • These are the uBlock rules used to block the headers from youtube channels. The 'about' tab is intentionally left unfiltered for the cases I actually want to see that information.

    edit: had to put the code on pastebin since the code markdown doesn't seem to work here.

  • Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
  • Adblockers can do more than just block ads, they also allow you to customize websites. As a simple example you can remove the annoying headers on youtube channels that take half the screen:

    It's also great for news sites. I have a filter to remove articles on topics I don't care about. I also have rules to prevent these sites from automatically reloading after certain amount of time, something that I find very annoying.

  • Torrent client rankings
  • special sauce they cooked it with let’s it run on the trashheap of a computer

    It's called coding in VS C++ and using native Windows controls, a dying art form unfortunately. The price is losing cross-platform compatibility.

  • D or d come on
  • There are two Linux paradigms that I consider stupid. One is the use of centralized software repositories managed by the distro instead of individual developer maintained installers. The other one is file system case sensibility. They already admitted defeat on the first one with the rise of containerised applications. I wonder how much longer they'll keep the charade on the second one.

  • The Minecraft wiki has been moved from Fandom to Minecraft.wiki
  • I was playing a Souls game while checking some info from Fandom on my phone. Unbeknownst to me the site was eating all my mobile data because of a live twitch stream playing on a muted and invisible player. Fuck those fuckers.

  • Hollywood studios, writers near agreement to end strike, hope to finalize deal Thursday, sources say
  • Bill Maher and Drew Barrymore knew. They didn't mind going back to work if the negotiations stalled for a long time but when they discovered the strike was close to ending they realized it was stupid to take such a PR hit just to save a few days of shooting.

  • DOOM Eternal removed Denuvo and it plays great on Steam Deck
  • In some cases it took people 2 to 4 days to release a working version without Denuvo

    2 to 4 days? How about months and counting? Not to mention many Denuvo protected games are only playable through Switch emulation, something that might end soon.

  • Do posts from instances that don't allow downvotes have an unfair advantage?

    By advantage I mean posts from those instances receiving more visibility than others on feeds that sort by score (active, hot, top).

    There seems to be at least two ways in which posts from instances that don't allow downvotes receive an advantage:

    • They don't federate downvotes. That means other instances only count downvotes from their own users but not from the rest of the fediverse.
    • A downvote sometimes can be counted and federated as an upvote. This happens when you first upvote a post and then change it to a downvote.

    Let's see an example. Suppose we are a user from instance A that allows downvotes and we want to vote a post on instance B that doesn't allow downvotes. Watch what happens on instance C that also allows downvotes.

    1. Before the vote this is what users from each instance see (upvote - downvote = total score) A: 10 - 0 = 10 B: 10 - 0 = 10 C: 10 - 0 = 10

    2. Now we upvote the post: A: 11 - 0 = 11 B: 11 - 0 = 11 C: 11 - 0 = 11

    3. We misclicked, we meant to downvote the post: A: 10 - 1 = 9 B: 11 - 0 = 11 C: 11 - 0 = 11

    If the post was hosted on an instance that allowed downvotes users from instance C would see a total score of 9.
