I use Firefox everywhere which means I have ads blocking everywhere, including and especially on Android. All my tabs are synced and are easily transferred between devices.

My experience with maintaining open source projects (though mine are very much smaller) is that it’s quite similar to a business: you just have to deal with stakeholders and people who think they are stakeholders.
I had all the same experience at work:
Some unknown person from an unrelated team contacted me because something that my team does not manage broke. I tried to help a few times and I suddenly became their personal IT support team.
Another time someone not even working at my company demanded that I drop everything and fix their problem, because my name appeared in 3rd parties libraries.
It’s sad that open source authors don’t always receive the recognition that they deserve.
You make me want to buy a Steam Deck, even though I don’t play games much.
Spez: we want to sell our users’ content to anyone with a good price.
Staff: but our users will rage and delete their content.
Spez: not if we remove the API.

Sorry to say to my UK friends, it looks like these people have no manners when it comes to debating. Asking a question and then proceeded to shout over them. I’m surprised they still have viewers.
I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.
What if 5G radio wave is there to push vaccines hidden in sunscreen into our body? /s
The original video showed that just changing the Agent string fixed the “problem”, so it has nothing to do with ad blocking.
Early Christmas present for FireFox, yay!
Like someone on lemmy once said: tools like this will make the climate situation worse since people can eat what they want and not have to worry about gaining weight. The drug is certainly going to help a specific group of patients but it’s very likely that it’ll be abused.
Try Paint.net. Layers, transparency, filters and even plugins. It’s free to download from their website. Install from Windows Store does have cost as a way to donate.
It could have been the other way around if global positioning systems were either not developed or used only by the military. In that case, detecting scenery of a park could be easier than trying to figure out the position on the map.
Or it could just be that maps data are not shared. You’ll need to hire boats and hire people to go and draw the map.
I afraid Microsoft will ban me for reading news articles copied from websites without permission, or just having a pirated game on my Windows partition.
Or maybe Chrome (I use FireFox, just an example) ban me for visiting “unclean” websites.
Maybe even the landlord of my rental will kick me out for keeping book post due from the local library.
It’s a scary society we live in.
As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there’s correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.
Others have given excellent advices. I’ll approach it from management point of view:
If there’s management oversight, such as tech lead/engineering manager, talk to them. Don’t make any accusation. Approach it from the direction of you feeling uncomfortable with how the team is working. They will know how to solve the issue. However, any tech lead/engineering manager should have already dectected the problem and at a minimum acknowledge the issue.
If there’s no tech management oversight, I’d suggest you approach the senior engineer directly. I’d want to emphasize here that it has to be tech management. Non tech management won’t understand the problem and they won’t be able to solve the problem. Sometimes the senior engineer maybe under pressure to deliver and there’s nobody to split the tasks to other team members. I did this a few times in my career before I developed my skill to lead a team.
If it’s neither because the senior is under pressure to deliver, nor there’s management oversight, your next best bet is to seek consultantion with another senior, either in your team or another team. They maybe able help to talk to the senior.
Your last resort would be non tech management, or saying it another way: express that you’re not happy with your job. This won’t be much help unless others in your team doing so as well.
If all these fail, consider finding another offer. There’s no oversight, there’s no willing to inprove from the senior and there’s no chance to improve the situation from other seniors, you won’t learn much there.
WEI code is already being merged while Google is trying the “finding a suitable forum” tactics. If it’s truely for open web’s benefit, why the rush?
Thank you for the reminder that I should donate to Signal for all the good things they have brought to the world.
I read in one of VPS rental service Discord that someone rented a VPS to run tor exit node and HDDs of the server were confiscated without prior notice.
Let’s say YouTube has a video and 2 ads:
videos.example.tld/video.mp4
.videos.example.tld/ads/ads1.mp4
.ads.company.tld/ads2.mp4
.PiHole will be able to block only (3) because DNS applies at domain level, as in videos.example.tld
. DNS requests only send the domain part and re-use the response for all addresses using that domain.
Browser extension, on the other hand, sees a request to .../ads...
and block it since it handled each HTTP/S request and know the full URL.
It depends I think. I found Chrome to be a tiny bit faster but then ads bogged the page down so most of the time, Firefox is faster for me.
In some very rare cases when I need to disable ads blocking, Chrome is indeed faster but I’d rather abandon websites rather than disable ads blocking.
So if you love ads, Chrome is better. If you hate ads like I do, Firefox is miles ahead.
