Some websites like Quora would go so far as to just lock me completely out with a blank page that simply says "Please enable Javascript and refresh the page to continue" I have trouble belie…

I’m kind of like that but in the other direction. I disable JavaScript on everything by default, and if I run into a website or a blog that won’t work without JavaScript, most of the time I just give …

christine.website is a fun one

I had this very same issue yesterday. I needed one particular component now, not “x days from now, Online.” I knew it was something that radio shack would have had, but I had to drive an hour and a ha…

I wouldn't be surprised if sleep is an aspect of a nervous system in general. Last year an article came out about how even artificial neural networks benefited from sleep. Perhaps it's the…

I was just thinking about this the other day. I would love to keep google/gststic blocked in noscript on most containers except the Google container.

At this point, I use telegram for essentially everything, not just email either. I found this HN thread through the Hacker News telegram feed[0]. I don't check reddit, or have other RSS feeds a…

Too late all gone

I've always pronounced "png" as "pee-en-gee", while pronouncing "gif" as in "gift"

It's probably worth noting that this extension relies almost entirely on Google Maps[0], so unless a firefox port uses something else, you're still going to be making calls to Google with yo…

I was excited for a moment, when I saw that someone was working on a new browser, then I admit that I felt a bit disappointed to read this. I think we need more rendering engines out there, or at leas…

At the bottom of walmart.com, there's a link for everyone to see that says "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" [0]. It takes you a page where it allows you to opt-out of having your …

It does when you like sharing links with your friends. I would have to manually clean these up before.

I was about to post this. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in dishwasher efficiency.

In the U.S. at least, passwords are protected under the 5th amendment but you can be ordered to unlock a phone with a fingerprint or a face since it's something you are and not something you know…

At this point I use noscript for everything, and if the site doesn't work I lose all interest in the site. Quora gives an entirely blank white page saying "Please enable Javascript and refr…

And it may have actually been someone from Minio using a throwaway account, according to the comments before it was locked.

One of the circles that I am in, people have been realistically considering Forth for a bootstrapper; it's very easy to build up the rest of Forth using Forth once you have a minimal set of keywo…

I’m at the point where I am using a new Firefox container for almost every service, and I can’t even log into my bank without enabling JavaScript on their site from some tracker domain

I just bought a Cudy WR2100 for $30; 5ghz AC router with openwrt to deliver wifi to my second floor.

I recommend just running conduit to everything during your next renovation, that way you could easily upgrade down the road. I wish conduit was used for all of these coax lines in my house.

Open AI continues to simultaneously amaze and scare me a little.

> Nobody at Facebook is trying to manipulate you Except when they’re running psychological experiments to purposely manipulate you into being sad

I can’t believe that I just read that entire thing, and holy smokes that was a trip.

Unfortunately Opera is also Chromium-based now, as are a growing number of browsers (edge was the nail in the coffin)

It's interesting how quality has changed over the years for children videos. This is what I watched when I was growing up (it came out in the late 70s, so it was already around for a while by the…

31 years old here, and felt the same way that @koboll has felt for the past 10+ years. I don't know how old I have to get for that view to change, but if I could take an immortality pill I'…
