The link says that NoScript is “redundant with uBlock Origin”
I like NoScript because I can click on its icon on the toolbar, and easily select which scripts on a given page to whitelist, or which to whitelist temporarily (until browser quit.) And on any page, I can select which set of scripts (by domain name) on that page to run or whitelist.
With uBlock Origin, it’s only “all script on the page” or “no scripts on the page”, right?
This was a while back, but my cousin learned to program using Codecademy. These were self-paced courses using web interfaces, which was nice because they didn’t have to install anything, they just used a web browser.
It looks like codecademy has a game development path: https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/subject/game-development

Now’s a good time to advertise the fediverse, if you’re still on reddit. Just pick your favorite instance, and tell people to check it out and to click “login/register” if they like it.
What a bland article. Just when it starts to become insightful, it ends:
These events are all signs of a gig economy that might just be falling apart, not because of any one CEO decision but because companies that find success by framing themselves as a DIY alternative to an established industry can only grow in the same direction as the very thing they wanted to replace. The original sin, it seems, is when they try to be both.

Yes! It’s a dark pattern microagression.
Hmmm… maybe something involving “false dichotomy”, “Sysyphus”, “pestering”, “options”, “forced politeness”, …
Every time I go to the ATM to get cash it shows me an ad for a service and the options are “Yes” and “No thanks.”
I am forced to choose one. I am forced to thank them for showing me an ad before they give me my own money.
the data vultures love this sort of “non-confrontational on surface, but bossy upon analysis” discourse.
We need a simple name for this, like we have for enshittification or shrinkflation.
ikr the real losers are the ones who read Gizmodo.
