I don't generally use that feature, even as a programmer, but I use Google at work just because my privacy is already pretty exposed at work and I'm not looking up anything wild on a corporate network. I also enjoy the targeting in this particular instance because then my search results are developer focused

You should also check out Tab for a Cause as well! A new tab screen that uses ad revenue to donate to charities. You can select your cause and every new tab you open contributes to it

I can get you a referral link the next time I'm on my desktop, it you'd like

How is this not a misallocation of resources that the shareholders should be upset about? They really don't want the company's money going to more value add instead?

I agree with this distrust. Something about the browser just feels off to me.

I stick with Firefox for browsing, Ecosia for searching, and Mozilla VPN

I think you have a point with the moving target, but also I believe that development should pretty much always be a moving target. You should be refactoring your domain based on new experiences and new knowledge all the time. So, personally, I find integration tests much more useful, because they test the input and output of a system, rather than how it's implemented. I can change my domain without having to modify my tests and that makes changes to the domain much simpler.

That being said, I also definitely recognize the advantages of TDD, I just don't think it's a silver bullet; there's good projects for it and bad ones

Yeah that's a jinx if I've ever heard one. Better buy two just in case...

I find they WORK too well. I have a Yeti one and the damn liquid is still undrinkable eight hours later...

You can take the lid off to let it cool but it's too easy to forget and miss the sweet spot

Bonus points if it also includes jumper cables with that battery. Having a portable jumper when your batter dies is insanely useful.

However, the model I have doesn't hold a charge forever, so I find that I have to recharge it every couple months or else it will be dead the next time I actually need it. An unfortunate flaw so I'd look for reviews that mention whether that's the case for any you look to purchase

100%! It's wild to me that the majority of Americans are just OK with not using one. Reddit introduced me to the concept and I have never looked back. You can get a super cheap introductory one on Amazon, but I would personally recommend the one by the Squatty Potty company, it's superb quality.

While you're on the website for Squatty Potty, their namesake is another must have under $100. It revolutionized how I use the bathroom, and I have one in every bathroom in my house. If I use the bathroom at work, I end up sitting there missing my stool and bidet. It's hard to go back once you've gotten closer towards perfection

Project Farm did a comparison video thay may be handy when you're in the market for a new stud finder

This is so wacky it's astounding.

You don't buy a company for their servers or employees, those can be found elsewhere for the same price. You buy a company for its users and its brand. To throw away one of the most icon brands in the world, which is present in the footer of every major website in the world, is baffling.

What is the end game here?

Thanks to everyone who is contributing! Awesome to see all these changes and fixes

I'm not a comic book reader, but from what I've heard the characters never dying permanently is a common theme, so at least there's a precedent

I was blissfully unaware how old it was until you said something, so you're not alone there

And to be honest, I kind of like this popup. It tells me (1) to avoid this website and (2) what extensions I can download that will cause trackers the most disruption!

Anything else of note so far? How big is the "Fuck spez" section relative to the whole canvas?

Also how long until admins "fix" it, I wonder...

Inflation is a fickle bitch.

The Markdown will be passed in the ActivityPub messages in plaintext, so it's up to the app developer how to interpret the Markdown. Looks like someone already created a ticket on GitHub so I'd recommend either adding a thumbs up to increase visibility or make the change yourself if you're able!

Just want to plug markdown as a phenomenal resource. You can use it to write documentation both online and offline, and with pandoc you can even use it to create beautiful PDF documents from your computer. Here's some places I use markdown daily, some additional resources, and tips

• GitHub parses markdown files from their web UI by default
• Obsidian uses markdown for their note taking application
• Pandoc can convert Markdown files to other formats including PDF
• Because it's plaintext, there are fewer formatting errors when moving between applications and you don't even need an application to read them
• Plaintext also means documents can be easily tracked via source control
• Lemmy and Reddit both use Markdown
• Discord uses a variation of Markdown

Can you give an example of websites not supporting Firefox?

From a personal use perspective, I have rarely encountered sites that do not work on Firefox, especially in recent years. Two years ago I may have needed to keep a Chromium browser around but recently I have had no issues.

And from a professional perspective, dropping support for Firefox would be asinine. Most modern web frameworks handle browser compatibility for you, and you essentially get it for free these days. It is almost no extra effort to be compatible to all modern browsers, so why stop? Firefox is has great browser support in general and is far better than the current state of Safari

I agree that they don't have a device which they can use to force or promote their browser like other companies can. Which is a shame and is why they should perhaps try to advertise more aggressively. However, it's a free, open source browser, I don't really want them to advertise or be profit driven
