I guess it’s the King’s English now. I’m always careful to avoid spelling things the US way, because as a programmer there’s some things (yup, like color) that I type more often in the US version than international English and muscle memory’s a sticky bugger.

fyi, you mean courtesy - curtesy is an old legal term.

I forgot that Lance Armstrong was in this - quite fitting for a satire.

Fixes catastrophic data loss, er, bug, er poorly documented feature… user error

Gotta love the Register

At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.

Its IMDb page is a bit sus: the reviews are an almost unbroken stream of gushing 10 star reviews, but there’s plenty of people voting it 1 star too. Astroturfing or just polarising?

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?

I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!

So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?

I thought Jurassic World Dominion was the final one? Wasn’t that why they brought back so many of the original cast? And it was pretty terrible, and dragged heavily towards the end.

Hollywood is addicted to established IPs, find some courage and be inventive again, please.

It is possible to die from eating spicy food, like this 14 year old in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-chip-challenge-pulled-shelves-teen-death-rcna103906

You’re forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It’s definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.

If Russia blocks security updates, that’s worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.

But occasionally you find $100000.

I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).

Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.

I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?

If you’re blocking everything that’s proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.

The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.

I’m sitting here trying to replicate what that sounds like from your description and I’ve only succeeding in sounding like a madman.

Radiohead are notorious plagiarists (it’s absolutely true because I read it in the Daily Mail).
