The big problem with DNS-based ad-blocking is that it doesn't prevent redirects. Sure, you'll get redirected to a harmless blank page, but then you need to go back to the previous page. You don't have that issue with uBlock.

Microsoft's naming strategy is just the American Economics wheel from South Park, but with names on it. Of all the big tech companies, they are easily the fucking worst at naming shit.
That’s not Amazon’s fault.
That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).
There's quite a few retail stores that don't keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren't in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.
The problem is that those same retail stores can't compete with Amazon's shipping speed. It becomes a case of:
- I want to buy a thing, I need it fast, so I guess I'll check my local retails stores
- My local retail stores don't have it in stock, but I can order it and it'll be there in 4-5 days
- I can just buy it off of Amazon at a comparable price, and have it tomorrow
It's alright if they don't want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there's no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.
In this case, it seems like it's the app makers themselves who are requiring the Play Store, though. Unless I'm misreading this, the developers are using the Integrity API to determine if the app was installed through "official channels" (in this case, the Play Store). Feels like people should be upset at the companies behind the apps, here.
Keep in my that "ingredients to a recipe" here refers to the literal physical ingredients, based on the context of the OP (where a sandwich shop owner can't afford to pay for their cheese).
While you can't copyright a recipe, you can patent the ingredients themselves, especially if you had a hand in doing R&D to create it. See PepsiCo sues four Indian farmers for using its patented Lay's potatoes.
Wake me up when the “Congress” actually decides to take actions not just ask “questions” after the damage is done and money is made.
Right. Into Cryo-Sleep you go, then!
Depends on the features.
Git has some counterintuitive commands for some commands you may want to do when you want to quickly do something. Being able to click a button and have the IDE remember the syntax for you is nice.
Some IDEs have extra non-native Git features like have inlined "git blame" outputs as you edit (easily see a commit message per-line, see who changed what, etc.), better diff/merge tooling (JetBrain's merge tool comes to mind), being able to revert parts of the file instead of the whole file, etc.
the git integration in vscode which I discarded after few attempts to use
I'm going to be honest, I don't really like VS Code's Git integration either. I find it clunky and opinionated with shitty opinions.
There's also the Hollywood celebrities episode. Tom Cruise is canonically in space in South Park. You just wouldn't really know why unless you saw the banned episodes.
Yeah. I legally owned most of the seasons of South Park. Then their parent company was sold to whoever owns Paramount+ and I can't legally buy seasons anymore. I have to subscribe to Paramount+ instead. I'm just gonna pirate that shit.
While I agree with most of what you're saying, it's also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it's needed for parts of certain updates.
A lot of the "debloaters" have no fucking idea what they're actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).
You don’t find it at all suspicious that they claim releasing backend code would make it less secure? What kind of security product is not open for inspection?
No, because Proton has 3rd party audits all the time and they share the results openly.

Every time I see non-tech people talk about Bluesky vs Mastodon, they talk about how awful the user experience is on Mastodon, and how it's been an issue for years and they keep ignoring it, so people just go to Bluesky instead.
It definitely feels like a "Us tech folk who care about the tech love it, we don't mind the user experience as long as the tech is here" vs the "I just want the same thing I have over here, the tech aspect could not be any less relevant to my choice of platform" kind of issue.
